Speaking Of Polling: I Would Take the New ABC Poll With a Grain Of Salt

TW: ABC/WaPo's new poll has Obama up by 9% v. down by 2% a couple of weeks ago. The fact that it swung 11% in two weeks alone shows how fast things can change, if it can change one way it can change the other. They polled over the weekend when Obama was having both his counterbounce from the Republican convention and his bounce from the Wall Street mess/McCain's fumbling of last week. Since then the daily trackers are fading a bit for Obama. I suspect the MSM will play this poll up as some great new trend as they love such things but I do not think the poll number will hold. Obama has a lead but it is small and volatile maybe 3 or 4 points.
