:rofl. Navy you never fail to amaze me. Did you read past the headline?
These numbers are not going to last. With the poor showing that McCain has made over the last 3 days, showing that he doesn't have a clue about how to address the economy, these numbers will certainly fall over the next two days.
From your own link:
However, there are three large caveats. First, 13 states worth, 166 electoral votes, are statistical ties. If we look only at the states where one of the candidate's has a lead of 5% or more, Obama has 188 EVs to McCain's 184. In other words, it is very close (again this year). Second, McCain has not taken a single Kerry state from Obama while Obama has taken two states from those Bush won in 2004 (Iowa and New Mexico). Pennsylvania is currently a tie. Third, all these polls were taken before the meltdown on Wall St. Polls taken a week from now could look quite different.
I've noticed that since Rasmussen numbers have gone the other way you stopped touting them as your source and have found one that fits your spin for now.....:doh
Your right, they may not last.........They might get worse for Obama......That is the trend anyhow.........
Will you still post polls if Obama leads from here on out?
To be fair for all whose enjoying jumping on the "Bash Navy for not posting when his parties down" bandwagon...
I notice none of you are ever in the threads posted by liberals going "Haha, McCain is losing ground" or "Ha! Look, Obama's winning" asking them if they were going to post when McCain took the lead.
Do you really honestly give a damn if someones only posting when things go well for their candidate, or is it just a chance to ridicule Navy?

Kandahar is a extremely bad example, as he's one of the few that actually has posted both when the guy he supports has gained ground and when the others do.
I can think of two threads off hand that simply gave daily/weekly updates of a specific poll, regardless of results. The vast majority of the rest has basically just been posting when they're guy does well / the other guy does bad. Including some on this thread who are critizing Navy for doing the same thing they themselves do.
