Yet Another Poll: This One Says Its Even

This is the first poll I've seen that has it virtually tied.

What do we make of this in the light of a 5 to 8 point lead by Obama in virtually every other poll.

One thing is certain. This poll will energize the right.

AP presidential poll: All even in the homestretch
The poll, which found Obama at 44 percent and McCain at 43 percent, supports what some Republicans and Democrats privately have said in recent days: that the race narrowed after the third debate as GOP-leaning voters drifted home to their party and McCain's "Joe the plumber" analogy struck a chord.

B.S. AP is so B.S. right wing these days I don't trust a friggin thing coming out of that org. My brother-in-law has worked for them for 13 yrs. and he tells me from inside it's run by hard-core partisan GOP guys who hate Obama and the Dems. He's told me don't believe anything from this group they're totally in the hands of the right and the GOP. The AP is no more reliable a source anymore then FOX News. In other words IGNORE this poll it's meant to do just that, rally the GOP base!! It's a fraud!

One thing about AP news that bugs me is that they are very concerned about copyright infringement. This strikes me as odd in an era of open information. They are going the other way which indicates more control, more privatization mindset.

Interesting because we just got the local paper and the big story headline is "Obama widens lead."
