McCain - 11 or 12?

A new NYTimes/CBS poll out tonight. Short version, Obama has mostly bounced back from Wright (although concerns linger) and he again leads Clinton substantially. (He's also back on top in the Gallup national tracking.)

Also of interest in this poll, the gas tax holiday backfired.
At the same time, an overwhelming majority of voters said candidates calling for the suspension of the federal gasoline tax this summer were acting to help themselves politically, rather than to help ordinary Americans....

On the gasoline tax, the survey underlined the risk Mrs. Clinton is taking in embracing a position that most Americans — including a majority of her own supporters — appear to view as political pandering. More than 60 percent of voters in the poll said that Mrs. Clinton said what people wanted to hear, rather than what she believed.


(And, it's notable that McCain now trails both Dems by over 10.)
