Counting Down ..... from 538

Reassurance for Dems in NBC/WSJ Survey

Of all the polls out late tonight -- and I do hope to have some sort of midnight update to the polling thread -- the one that ought to give Democrats the most reassurance is the new poll out from NBC and the Wall Street Journal, which gives Barack Obama a 51-43 lead. What's to like about this particular survey?

Firstly, all of the interviewing was conducted today (Sunday) and yesterday, so it's about the freshest set of data that we have.

Secondly -- and this is an underrated factor -- the NBC/WSJ poll always behaves intuitively. It goes up when the other polls go up, and goes down when the other polls go down:
