Just saw the same thing. Ups and downs. Ups and downs.

Pollster John Zogby: "Is McCain making a move? The three-day average holds steady, but McCain outpolled Obama today, 48% to 47%. He is beginning to cut into Obama's lead among independents, is now leading among blue collar voters, has strengthened his lead among investors and among men, and is walloping Obama among NASCAR voters. Joe the Plumber may get his license after all. "Obama's lead among women declined, and it looks like it is occurring because McCain is solidifying the support of conservative women, which is something we saw last time McCain picked up in the polls. If McCain has a good day tomorrow, we will eliminate Obama's good day three days ago, and we could really see some tightening in this rolling average. But for now, hold on." zogby.com

If you analyze the numbers for the past 5 days of polling at this site: zogby.com, you will notice that McCain is progressively losing support (something like 0.1%) every day. And suddenly yesterday the Obama loses 1% and McCain gains that thereby narrowing the gap by 2%. That could be the outlier. At this site realclearpolitics.com the numbers are the same for today. This gives the McCain campaign something to talk about. However, this does not impact the numbers in VA, NH, CO and NV which I believe will put Obama over the top if he can hold onto all Blue states including PA.
