Senator Barack Obama

Pollgasm

Written by Bob Cesca

The "tightening race" narrative might have some very, very, very thin validity, but not really.

Today's Gallup poll widened in favor of Obama. 52-43, as opposed to 51-44 yesterday. R2000 also widened in favor of Obama. 50-42 today, 50-43 yesterday. And Obama expanded his lead from three points to six points according to Zogby. 50-44 today, 48-45 yesterday.

Only two polls showed any tightening -- and just barely. Rasmussen tightened. 50-46 today. 51-45 yesterday. Hotline also tightened. 47-42 today. 48-41 yesterday.

It's all just a home stretch wobble -- definitely not a scary trend. However, I still believe the other McCain Fear-Mongering shoe has yet to drop.
