ABC Poll

Wow– everybody is a sophisticated poll watcher now.  No sooner had the latest ABC/Washington Post poll come out then everybody was pointing out that it had a D+9 advantage.  Now, we know that’s not going to happen.  But given recent polling, this has to be seen as a very positive result for Obama.  A more realistic D advantage puts Obama in a dead heat, but that’s certainly better than the couple points behind he’s been faring on many national polls of late.

I did find the last item about voter contacts especially interesting:

Presidential debate does little to change a locked in electorate

Certainly does suggest that the Obama organization is definitely doing it’s part in the swing states.  Mark Blumenthal has a thorough run-down on what to make of the poll.
