WSJ/NBC News Poll: Obama Up 6

by Todd Beeton [courtesy of MyDD]

The just released poll has Obama up 6, identical to June's numbers.

Obama 47
McCain 41

The spin of Gregory's Road To The White House, which just broke the poll, is "no Middle East trip bump for Obama", since the poll was taken from Friday to Monday. More spin: why isn't Barack Obama further ahead? Hacks.

More enthusiasm gap from the poll:

Supporters' Views: Excited to Vote for Candidate

Obama 44
McCain 14

Ouch.

Update [2008-7-23 19:9:51 by Todd Beeton]:More from Hardball:

Top priority for federal government?

Jobs/Economy 23% (27%)
Energy/Gas 20% (18%)
Iraq War 16% (24%)

Chuck Todd bringing a dose of reality:

It's going to take a week or two to see if he gets a bounce out of [his Middle East trip.] We're not going to see it in an instant poll.

Update [2008-7-23 19:31:49 by Todd Beeton]:Link poll results is HERE. Jonathan called to alert me to this interesting result, which actually reflects more accurately what people's choices will be on the ballot in November:

Obama 48
McCain 35
Nader 5
Barr 2

Sshhh, don't tell David Gregory, his head might explode.
