Just listened to Clinton mouthpiece Lanny Davis say "every national poll, certainly in the last several months, show Senator Clinton beating John McCain at about the same margin as Senator Obama."

Really? What planet is Lanny Davis living on? Anderson Cooper just came back and said CNN had just done a poll that doesn't say that. Davis counters that "the Gallup poll and Pew Research poll and about dozen polls show very little difference" between the two.

Mind to name those polls? Gee, let's take a look. Obama beats McCain by 12 (CBS/NYT), 11 (ABC/WaPo), 10 (AP/Ipsos), 9 (Cook) and 7 (Pew). The best polls for Clinton (Pew and AP) show her only winning by five.

It's one thing to spin, to put the best face on a situation, but "every national poll" doesn't cut it. Two polls, Gallup and Pew, have them close, but even Pew has Obama doing better than Clinton.
