I don't believe it. Even if the poll were accurate, it doesn't mean much this far out. Mike Dukakis was way out in front in 1988, and Bush I didn't have the media gushing all over him like John McCain has.
For now, however, Obama is running much stronger at this point in the race than his two most recent Democratic predecessors, Sen. John Kerry and Vice President Al Gore, who both failed in their bids to win the White House. In a July 2004 NEWSWEEK Poll, Kerry led Bush by only 6 points (51 percent to 45 percent). In June 2000, Gore was in a dead heat with Bush (45 percent to 45 percent)—which is essentially where he ended up when that razor-thin election was finally decided.
Both of those candidates actually won their elections but for Republican skullduggery. Obama won't even come close to McCain once the vetting truly begins.
