We're Back To A 'Dead Heat'

Barack Obama is now leading by 2 points in the Gallup tracker, by 3 points in the Hotline/Diageo tracker, by 4 points in the DKos/R2000 tracker, and trailing by 1 point in Rasmussen.

So given that the tracking polls now show an average 2 point lead for Barack Obama, I think that means it's a dead heat now, a major reversal from John McCain's big 2 point lead last week. (Isn't that the way the cable TV math works?)

Also -- I've temporarily disabled comments because the comment provider seems to be hosed which was slowing down the site. As soon as they are back online, I'll reenable comments. Update: Comments reenabled.
