Late Night Poll Porn

ABC / WaPo (10/8-10/11, 766 likely voters, 9/29 results in parenthesis):
Obama: 53% (50%)
McCain: 43% (46%)

Zogby Tracking (yesterday's numbers in parenthesis)
Obama: 48% (49%)
McCain: 44% (43%)

The important thing is to always look at all polls. Only the collective polling result matters, so don't get hung up on individual polls. Right now, before these polls are factored in, Pollster.com has Obama lead by 8.3%. That is, in my opinion, the absolute most that Obama could possibly win by. I honestly believe there is nowhere to go but down at this point, but that is just my opinion (although it has reaonble basis in recent history).

Unless Battleground starts releasing polls on the weekend, and assuming that everyone will release a poll on Election Day itself, there are 131 tracking poll releases left in this election. Man, I don't know if my stomach can take waiting for that many more tracking poll releases. At least we are in a very good position right now.
