WASHINGTON (June 17) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama opens the general election campaign with a narrow lead over Republican John McCain but the two score near even among independent voters, The Washington Post reported on Tuesday.
According to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll, Obama leads McCain by 48 percent to 42 percent among all adults, while McCain has picked up support from independents who could be key to deciding the November election.

Interesting...but that's not what the poll attached to the report indicates.
It's going to be a long way until November, that's for sure.
A phone poll by a reputable polling group will be accurate within its own reported limits, and self-select internet poll is highly inaccurate (the self-selection, not the internet being the difference)

Interesting...because I thought we had a huge debate about the inaccuracy of phone polls when the results were that the respondents trusted McCain more.
I think I'm beginning to understand the rules....
You and I had a debate of the accuracy of phone polls? Could you maybe provide a link, because I sure don't remember the conversation (very possible, I forget a fair bit ;-))
