If This Is "Good News" for McCain...

Then he's in trouble. Here are two new polls out tonight:

NBC News-Wall Street Journal:

Obama (D) 48%
McCain (R) 46%

LA Times-Bloomberg:

Obama (D) 49%
McCain (R) 45%

The NBC-WSJ poll shows Obama move +1, while this is the first time LA Times-Bloomberg has narrowed down a pool of likely voters (among registered voters, there was virtually no change: 45-43 to 46-44 in Obama's favor). Again, the economy is Issue #1 and more voters trust Obama to handle the financial meltdown.

If the "best news" the GOP can point to are polls only showing a slight Obama lead, then they're in deep sh*t. Good. :-)
