With voters’ increased confidence in his ability to serve as commander in chief, as well as a majority who now believe he would do a good job as president, Barack Obama has opened up his biggest advantage over John McCain in the latest NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll. With two weeks to go until Election Day, Obama now leads his Republican rival by 10 points among registered voters, 52 to 42 percent, up from 49 to 43 percent two weeks ago.

In two polls, Obama is up by as much as ten. What happened? It looked as if McCain was closing the gap. Cant blame it o nthe attack ads, cause McCains personal campaign actually has stayed the same. Odd, even being an Obama supporter, Im scratching my head at these numbers.
