    Polling Data

    It has been brought to my attention that some of you are of keeping track of the current polling data and would like the info included here. I tried to do an RSS feed at someone's suggestion and it was just way too much info!!! The pit is already plagued by this, we did not need another 100 threads.

    If you have another source that tracks the average instead of the one affiliate that has your candidate in the lead , then please feel free to update this as it is released. It is a very close race.

    I use 2008 General Election National Poll Results by Pollster.

    they give the average as well as info in the swing states at realclearpolitics.com

    and yes, their average has McCain leading by 1.3%

    the one you linked seems to use some pretty old polls in their "average"...not sure that the ones from july and early august are very useful anymore

    btw, i previously linked this site here

    sounds like a good idea. the RCP average today had the race tied, but with McCain at +20 in the electoral college.

    long way to go, i think we will all implode before November.

    oh, and i can find a poll with McCain winning all 50 states and a 20 point lead so cherry picking polls is kinda silly.

    The economy is totally tanking right now, which can only help Obama. We'll see how the polls look when this uber-crash on Wall Street is factored in. Like I've said a thousand times:

    Economy #1 issue = Obama Wins
    Economy not #1 issue = McCain Wins
