The Financial Times Gets It

That the polls are off:
The RealClear Politics website’s average of polls, which gives Mr Obama a lead of 6.8 per cent over Mr McCain, offers a better guide to the situation. It compares to John Kerry’s lead just a few weeks before he lost the 2004 election to Mr Bush. It is also slightly lower than Mr Obama’s lead over Hillary Clinton shortly before she bested him – and the media – in the New Hampshire primary at the start of the year.
Via Jules Crittenden, who has more from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette and the New York Post.

Anyone talks to you bout polls, hold on to your wallet.
