Saw Bob Beckel on Fox a little while ago — he really looked depressed. He said essentially that if these numbers are correct, “it’s over.” He did go on to say he wasn’t quite certain they are correct — while he does respect Gallup, he pointed out the margin of error of 4%, which could bring it down to 48%. But I have to hand it to Beckel, he’s one of the few liberals that is willing to be honest about what this poll (if accurate) really means.

Obama could get 47%. As the weeks progress, I won’t be surprised if he ends up with 42%. Once people tell you “its over” - watch your number take a big slide.

And it couldn’t happen to a more deserving guy.

the margin of error of 4%, which could bring it down to 48%.

And it could be as high as 56%.

The margin of error on the Gallup poll is 2%.

Didn’t Red Diaper Doper Axelrod say that these numbers were all attributable to Alabama?

"...he pointed out the margin of error of 4%, which could bring it down to 48% (from 52%)."

Sure, but it could also raise it to 56%.
