Finally

An AP article I agree with, but only because it is appropriately worshiping Michelle Obama

New Polls!

So, I was little anxious about the new Q-polls coming out this morning in Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. And guess what - Barack Obama ahead in all of them is Good News for John McCain! I love Nate's analysis:

This is a weaker performance for Obama than in June, but a better performance for him than in any month but June. Our model weights those two factors, and concludes that the status quo has more or less been preserved. As of last night, our model gave Barack Obama a 68.0 percent chance of winning the election in November. With these polls rolled in, he has a 67.7 percent chance.

Exactly. Note to the AP: 46 is bigger than 44, so they aren't tied, Obama is ahead in those states.

Hmm, what's wrong with this article?

So, the AP has been awful since Ron Fournier took over the Washington desk, but this article tries my patience.

The title is "Obama Faces Doubt From Women," but here is the survey they use:

In recent polls, Obama has had a significant edge among women. A Quinnipiac University poll released July 15 found women supported Obama over Republican John McCain, 55 percent to 36 percent. Among men, McCain had 47 percent and Obama 44 percent.

Tell me who has a problem, again?
