A just released NBC News / Wall Street Journal poll shows that Barack Obama is winning with voters. He's at 46% while Hillary is at 43%.
The poll also shows that 32% are still saying Rev. Wright is a major concern, but 43% say that McCain's ties to Bush is a major concern.
And while those numbers have got MSNBC's Pat Robertson in a tizzy, they're nothing to how McCain must be feeling about a new poll from the conversative Arizona State U for Eight/KAET-TV, which shows the McCain trending under 50% in his home-state when up against Obama:
McCain (R) 47 Obama (D) 38McCain (R) 53
Clinton (D) 37

Hillary also tops McCain by 14 points in Pennsylvania (51-37), while Obama's lead over McCain is in single digits.
"CLINTON BEATS MCCAIN AMONG INDEPENDENT VOTERS; OBAMA TIES HIM: The new AP poll has Clinton leading McCain among independents (50-34) while Obama is tied with him (42-42). The NBC/WSJ poll notes that Obama’s negative ratings among independents are they highest they have ever been."

Every network has their own polls and everyone shows something slightly different.
Bottom line never trust the polls till after the conventions and even then take them with a grain of salt.
Lets not forget Dukakis lead Bush Sr. by 10 points in Aug 88, Clinton was polling below Perot and Bush in the summer of 92, and Kerry had a 10 point lead on George W in July of 04.
