Up by 5 after being down 2 on Monday!

Obama-49%
Mccain-44%

GW/Battleground has a history of nailing the popular vote totalsi in elections dating back to 1992. It's probably one of the most credible polls there is and we now have a lead outside of the margin of error in it.

Yay!

1. They must have significantly adjusted their methodology
It's good that the last major tracking poll now shows a significant Obama lead.

3. They did indeed
From my understanding, they dropped the party weighting that they had used lsst week and prior to that.
