The survey, including a three-day sample of 1,220 likely voters collected over the previous three days - approximately 400 per day from Oct. 5-7, 2008 - shows that Obama holds a slight advantage amounting to 1.9 percentage points over McCain. This represents a bit of a recovery by McCain, who had been sliding in some polls before his running mate, Sarah Palin, put in a strong performance in her one and only debate performance last Thursday.

Interesting results and completely at odds with what every other pollster is showing. Doesn't mean it's wrong, but I wouldn't put too much faith in those numbers.

Check out Pollster.com, FiveThirtyEight.com, or RealClearPolitics.com if you want to look at composite polling numbers.

Yes.

Also, forget about the daily telephone polls, I'm more interested in the daily telegraph polls.

I'm only interested in the pole at the local gentleman's club. Other then that the hourly, daily, or weekly polls mean as much as the BCS polls in October. It's a media carrot to get folks excited.

Forget the polls, McCain has toasted himself by trying to stick to the issues. He can't win on that front, even if he is absolutely correct on every one of them.

His only advantage is in leadership experience and national gov't experience and he's letting that fall by the wayside and allowing Obama to make this about issues.

The bottom line is that the issues will change next month and we're going to be stuck with someone at the helm. Who do we want there making executive decisions? That's McCain's only prayer.

In short, I am more advanced than you because I lack a high intelligence level and made electrical polls?
