The avg was 5 yesterday morning - but thanks to the outlier of the Pew and the Abc, NBC, it jumped to over 7.

ABC,NBC,CBS are polls I would not put a lot of stock in, considering the source and their blatant bias.

In addition ABC uses a 16% more dems, CBS, at least 8%.

In addition - ignore the national polls.

The Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby tracking poll now gives Obama his largest lead ever...10%.

Since you want to ignore national polls lets look at RCP's current electoral projection:

Obama-286

McCain-160

Toss up-92

Your candidate is as good as done and you know it.

McCain 161
Tossups 3

Oh, you love the Zogby poll now? Too funny.

The fact is the national polls are all over the place, from 2 to 14. Pick a poll that suits you.

The Battleground poll went from a high of 13 to 2 in a week. The Hotline went from a high of 10 to 5 today. Some are going up, others are going down.
