USA Today poll: John McCain 49%, Barack Obama 45%. That splashing sound you hear is despondent Democrats throwing themselves off bridges near you.

UPDATE: This is the first poll in nearly three months to show McCain leading Obama, and is the Republican's biggest lead over Obama in any poll since early April. Liberal Democrats tempted to reach for the sleeping pills and whiskey are cautioned not to be so hasty: This poll is an anomalous outlier, as far out of whack with other polling data as that ridiculous Newsweek poll last month showing Obama ahead by 15 points.

In fact, this USA Today poll was conducted by Gallup -- the same firm whose latest daily tracking poll shows Obama ahead by eight points. So before turning on the gas and sticking your head in the oven, liberals, please remember to have Hope.
