Here we find a naive poseur trying to claim that a NEW slight lead, <s>probably</s> within the [stated] margin of error [of +/- 3%], without any confirming later polls showing a trend, by a noted R-leaning favorite pollster with an unusual methodology that skews 3-4 percentage points more R-ward than other pollsters, means Obama will definitely lose the race come the late fall of next year.

I remember when Dukakis held what, an 18% lead over GWH Bush, and that lead was NOT a year and 3-1/2 months out from the election, but right after both their nominating conventions a bare few months prior to election.

Still can't remember how his presidency worked out, though. Quite a mystery there!

Besides, unless an O-Cultist is a bandwagon supporter, what difference WOULD it make if he were seen most likely to lose? Would an ideological Goldwater supporter in '64 have switched to vote for LBJ just because AuH2O was trailing him in credible polling?
