I dont think this is false. Scott Rasmussen has it O 50 M 46
IBD-TIPP has it O 45% M 42%
Zogby has it O 49 M 44
The race is clearly tightening.
I think most of the other polls showing Obama with these huge leads have been of “registered” rather than likely voters. The MSM will obviously choose to report the ones with bigger leads.
You’re right it’s not false. Obama has never held a big lead...when he has had the lead. Gallup didn’t publicize their traditional method polls continuously until now. When Gallup did release their old method polls McCain has led 3 out of 4 times over Obama throughout a 5 months span.
