Diageo-Hotline Sez: Hurting Voters Turn to Obama for Help

Hot off the presses! Here's today's Diageo-Hotline poll:

Obama-Biden (D) 46%
McCain-Palin (R) 42%

Yesterday's numbers had Obama +1, so this is a 3% jump in one day! Obviously, it looks like the Lehman-Merrill-AIG financial crisis is now hitting home. This also looks to confirm Obama's strengthening numbers in Rasmussen & Research 2000. Let's see what happens in the next few days, but it looks like the worsening economic crisis is causing more voters to turn away from McCain's many gimmicks (like "Lipstick-gate", "Kinder-sex-gate", Palinpalooza, and "Original Maverick") and to Democrats for real solutions. Isn't it interesting how economic crises cause us to remember what's really important?
