CNN Sez: It's a Dead Heat

OK, OK, the worst news may now be over...

CNN/Opinion Research National:

Obama 48%
McCain 48%

It's a tie! This means McCain is up 1% from last week, and they have the state of the race back to where it was before the Democratic Convention. The bad news is that the race is now a tie. However the good news is that when leaners are taken into account (as CNN does), the "McSurge" isn't all that meaningful.

Let's hope this is a sign of better news to come.
