OK, a little sober reminder before we get carried away with out euphoria -— What’s the D/R/I sampling breakdown of this poll?
I hope they did not oversample Republicans the way they did the Dems in the past, this time.
No info available on that yet, but the advantage of a seven-day tracker is that the metrics should be identical, and movement indicates a trend. I think of this result as confirmation of all of the national polling, and most of the state polling shows the same movement.
Interestingly, two Ohio polls out today show a tie or a slim lead for Romney, and two Pennsylvania polls show Obama leading there by two or three points, which would tend to confirm the Ohio numbers. I would note, however, that CNN is pimping their Ohio poll, due out this afternoon; I suspect it will show a wider Obama lead than the others, in a bid to temper the Romney bounce.
