Bloomberg.com: Politics

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama leads his Republican rival John McCain by 49 percent to 43 percent nationwide among registered voters, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.

A margin of error of plus or minus 3 percentage points - this means the results can be in the range of Obama 52 to 43 McCain
or 46 to 43.
I get so frustrated when polls do not give the margin of error.

WaPo & ABC: Two strikes against McCain. Why does this not surprise me?

I think it's funny how the OP chooses the poll with the best spread.

What about CNN, Rasmussen and Gallup polls, which have them TIED?

Here's a quote from DU (Democratic Underground) I felt worthy of posting here because it's proof the Dems are seeing the writing on the wall:

"We're in worse shape than Kerry was at this stage.
yeah, not optimistic at this point."
