Is this not the same poll that in 1984 at approximately this stage of the election year had Mondale beating Reagan?

If so, take heart. When the real poll was taken in November the result was Reagan 49 states and 535 Electoral Votes, Mondale 1 state (plus DC) and 13 Electoral Votes.

And beating him significantly, as I recall.
