Yup, edging up and up.

Keep in mind too, that it's an AVERAGE of the most respected polls - not just a SINGLE poll.

All in all, good news for Obama.

Staying above 50 for week after week... that's what I care about. But polls won't mean a thing if you don't vote.

The one thing we have to do is make sure people actually VOTE!

Wasn't it like 7.6 yesterday?

[pirate girl]

Yup!

What's surprising is, you expect to see polls tightening at this point in the race. Hmmm, maybe this is the October surprise????
