Daily Tracking Poll: Barack Obama Answers on Experience, Improves on Commander-in-Chief
Obama Leads McCain 54-43 in ABC News/Washington Post Poll

Barack Obama has shored up his experience rating to the point where it now surpasses George W. Bush's in 2000 and matches Bill Clinton's in 1992, addressing what has been Obama's greatest vulnerability in the presidential election.

Sens. John McCain and Barack Obama are locked in a tight battle for the White House; ABC News and the Washington Post partner in a daily tracking poll, examining the 2008 presidential campaign from now through Election Day.Obama, perhaps with help from his endorsement by Gen. Colin Powell, also appears to have stemmed some underlying advances by John McCain after their final debate last week.

In the battle of who'd best help the middle class Obama holds a 2-1 lead. And he's moved closer to McCain on who'd be the better commander-in-chief, cutting a 43-point McCain lead to 19 points.

Fifty-six percent of likely voters now say Obama has the experience it takes to serve effectively as president, up from 48 percent after the Republican convention.

Awesome news on the C-in-c front as well.

16. Confidence Troll Alert!!

Don't you know this race is tied!?!? I'm desperately burning books and trying to wipe the pentagrams off my walls in preparation for the big comeback.

17. Sorry dude, but the AP poll will steal the headlines

The outlier is seen as legit by the MSM just because it is favorable to McCain.

[Two Sheds]

19. Ok then, it will force more polls which will only explode this one

Suddenly, in this election, there are tons of undecided voters? I don't buy it.
