The three most recent polls, all of which are post VP debate, have McCain down by an average of four points, from a 6.2 deficit three days ago.

The NBC News/WSJ poll that has Obama up by 6 also has the generic congressional up by 13, two above the average of the others. So it probably oversampled democrats.
They tried to sell the idea that the race was over when Obama went up by six. All other things being equal, we'll likely see a tie race this time next week. If any of the stink surrounding the Chosen One starts to stick, this race could turn quickly. Apparently the best Obama has to throw at McCain is the Keating 5. He and his handlers truly hope we are a nation of blithering idiots. McCain was exonerated by a Senate ethics committee. They are bringing it up because they have nothing else. Our man is truly Mr. Clean.
