Contrary to other polls, some of which show Obama ahead by double digits, the IBD/TIPP Poll shows a sudden tightening of Obama's lead to 3.7 from 6.0. McCain has picked up 3 points in the West and with independents, married women and those with some college. He's also gaining momentum in the suburbs, where he's gone from dead even a week ago to a 20-point lead. Obama padded gains in urban areas and with lower-class households, but he slipped 4 points with parents.

The big surprise here is those in the 18-24 age bracket. Aren't they a sure lock for That One?

That actually might be right on the money there, with the 18-24 years bracket.
Okay, now around here, it's a sure lock for McCain among all voters, of all ages and sexes and races and socio-economic statuses.
But there used to be "soft support" indicating some enthusiasm for the Big Zero, from last spring until a couple of weeks ago, among high school and college kids.
Not enough to make a difference here, but noticeable.
It's seemed to wane away into nothingness since circa the second presidential debate (although I suspect the debate had nothing to do with it, that it's probably a coincidence in timing).
