Fact-checking Jake Tapper (again)

Jake Tapper on ABC News last night:

The latest ABC News poll indicates one-quarter of Clinton supporters are thinking of voting for Senator John McCain, with Obama only winning 62% of them. He cannot win if that does not change.

Except the same exact ABC News poll cited by Tapper also shows Barack Obama leading John McCain, 48%-42%.

And I would have to respectfully submit to Mr. Tapper that John McCain cannot win if that does not change.
