Don't put too much into a poll.
1. It is too early, there are around 60 days or so before the election, more than enough time for gaffes, changing headlines, new dirt on candidates
to be revealed, debate performance , etc
2. National opinion type polls don't matter as much as battleground polls. This election will be up to the people in Pennsylvania, Michigan, Ohio,
Colorado, and maybe Nevada and New Mexico. The only way a national poll tells something significant is if another non-toss-up state goes into play
like say Texas switching Democrat or California switching Republican.
There might be an exception though and it might be showing up with the Palin pick.
This is HIGHLY speculative......The Bradley Effect might be in play with this election and the
Palin pick might have lessened this effect with the introduction of a more politically correct choice to counter Obama's skin color.
