Obama has opened up a five-point lead over John McCain in the latest Rasmussen poll, 45% to 40%.
I don’t know if “opened up” a five-point lead is quite the best wording since on Rasmussen Obama has been running six and seven points ahead of McCain for several days now. Maybe I don’t read Bradley consistently enough, but it seems he only quotes Obama poll results in a glowingly selective way.
Meanwhile according to Gallup, Obama’s lead has shrunk to two points and Gallup reports the contest as a “virtual tie.”
