2. A new poll suggests Obama is taking the lead? What, 8 points is suggesting he's leading?

Huh?

[Schulzz]

5. I noticed that, too. Sounds like he was behind for months and now has a one point lead.

:wtf:

[Drunken Irishman]

9. haha, they changed it!

Now it reads:

A new national poll suggests Barack Obama is widening his lead over John McCain in the race for the White House.

3. It's been a looooong time since we've seen an election in which

a candidate has opened such impressive leadvat this point in time.

8. They must push leaners with a cattle prod (Only 2% other/undecided)

[Drunken Irishman]

11. Or it's because it's October and most undecides have now decided.

Which makes it even more difficult for McCain to gain any ground.

[Hope And Change]

10. K & R!

[calimary]

12. Over 50 percent.

That's the significant part. And yes, it's a nice spread - I think maybe because it might be beyond the margin of error - from the story:
The CNN/Opinion Research Corporation poll was conducted by telephone on October 3-5. The survey questioned 1,006 people. The survey's sampling error is plus or minus 3.5 percentage points.

It's not over yet, folks. A month is an eternity.
