I call BS on this... look at the splits.

Democrats
Obama 86%
Bush 10%

Republicans
Bush 87%
Obama 10%

Independents
Obama 49%
Bush 37%

In what universe does that eventually add up to 48-46 Obama?
There are equal numbers of Republicans and Democrats in this poll, which almost never happens. Democrats normally outnumber Republicans by a few percentage points, even in bad times, so I guess that this was a bad sample.

If the numbers were 38-36-26, Obama would have gotten 51% in this poll.

This poll is definitely crap. The PPP presidential poll that showed the same exact crosstabs had Obama only beating Palin by 2 and tied with Gingrich. Those are extreme outliers.
