Obama's double-digit poll lead?

Posted: Wednesday, October 08, 2008 1:19 PM by Domenico Montanaro

From NBC's Domenico Montanaro
So Obama's up 11 now in the Gallup Daily Tracking poll, his largest in that poll.

It's worth pointing out that The Hotline/Diageo tracking poll shows just a 1% lead for today.

The NBC/Wall Street Journal poll showed Obama with a 6-point lead.

OH YEAH

Independents HATE the HATE Speech. Barbie is a dumby and McShame is just out of touch

When i see McShame i see three letters
O-L-D
McPalin will get out more of the uglies now. I hope that that man who was chosen the Citizen of The Year in Chicago in 1987, Mr. Ayers, sues these people for everything that they have. They (McPalins) are an embarassment for Americans. Mr. Obama, regardless of anything else, is a Senator of the United States!!!!
Wow. Just wow. I think the race reached a tipping point this month. Voters are choosing Obama's calm, thoughtful approach over McCain's mood swings and fearmongering. I still worry about the Bradley effect, so I hope Obama takes a significant lead to overcome it.
