The RCP average is being pulled by the OBVIOUS OUTLIER CBS Poll, that had Obama up by 9

[The G Man]

If you take out the ABC/Wash Post poll (that had over 20% blacks in their sample and a 3:2 Dem to Rep ratio), the average is Obama by 2.5 (a statistical tie)

“OBVIOUS OUTLIER CBS Poll ...”

I think you mean ABC/Wash Post. The last CBS poll was O+2, I believe.

[Wilder Effect]

The Obama campaign today, seeing the Gallup Poll, instructed their media robots to release any poll they could with at least a 30% Dem oversample to steer opinion.

Look for NewsWeak or TIME today to release a bogus poll saying Obama is up by 20, and watch Diane Sawyer blast it on the airwaves.

My sense is that outlier lib polls are deliberate and intended to do exactly what they did, pull up the average for Hussein.
