Maggie's Farm

Today's IBD/TIPP tracking polls:

Contrary to other polls, some of which show Obama ahead by double digits, the IBD/TIPP Poll shows a sudden tightening of Obama's lead to 3.7 from 6.0. McCain has picked up 3 points in the West and with independents, married women and those with some college. He's also gaining momentum in the suburbs, where he's gone from dead even a week ago to a 20-point lead. Obama padded gains in urban areas and with lower-class households, but he slipped 4 points with parents.

Whoever wins this election will provide plenty of material for us at Maggie's to get indignant about and worried about. That's a shame, because we'd rather write about other subjects - like real life. I guess we can do both.
