Remember when everybody was freaking out last week about the poll numbers? Well, things are looking better now.

That’s the tracking poll I’ve been watching for the past month or so and it’s back in Obamaland. While Obama has been getting his groove back, the GOP’s favorite wolf-killer is tanking.



While the Palin phenomenon was intimidating for a minute there, let’s take a step back and look at the full Pollster.com aggregate trendline :



See that tiny little blip there on the right where the red line is above the blue? That’s Palin. Not exactly worth sweating over. Like every other fad, there’s a big backlash brewing and it’s only going to get worse. Imagine how well her favorability ratings will be if/when Biden mentions “rape kits” or “helicopter hunting” in the VP debate.

Contra what I said last week, don’t sweat the state polls. They’ll catch back up. To paraphrase McCain, the fundamentals of this election are strong. Keep donating and volunteering, but don’t loose your head. We’re cool.
