51-45 for Obama, 48-39 for Obama

h/t, Josh. You probably think that's very good news. But let me try to give a very rough sense of what these poll numbers mean in concrete terms.

You are taking a stroll through your local shopping mall. 10 people are walking your way. Look into their eyes. They look normal, but about four of them are so completely stupid or so totally out of touch they actually think McCain should be president and Palin vice-president.

That's scary. We have to do better.
