ROFLMAO. I believe this is the first time that the 50% threshold has been met this election cycle. Bodes well for Obama.

I do not put much faith in those type of surveys.

Note the last line in the article
"Today’s numbers included polling from Aug. 30 through Sept. 1. The margin of error is 2 points in the poll of 2,772 registered voters nationwide."

As of the last U.S. Census Bureau numbers(2004 election) there are 142,072,000 registered voters
in the US. I think the voters drives have increased that number this election cycle.

I do not think 2.772 people are a "true" sampling.

Or perhaps you don't understand representative sampling.

Those dates are included in the days AFTER Palin was announced......seems her being named has actually helped Mr Obama's campaign.
