He's up 1 among men:

McCain: 47%
Up big among Women:
Obama: 57%
McCain: 39%
He's also up among all age blocks!

Obama: 57%
McCain: 39%
30-64:

65+:

The negative attack ads are not working. Period.

Update via lilsky:
McCain's portrayal of Obama as a risky choice, further, is not resonating, and indeed may be backfiring. By 55-45 percent registered voters see Obama as safe rather than risky; by contrast, they divide 50-50 on whether McCain himself is safe or risky – down from 57-41 percent "safe" at McCain's best on this measure in June.
Unrelated Update: I've posted this a couple of times but I really think it where we are headed:
Compare the analysis that starts about 1 min in with today. Just replace Carter with McCain, Obama with Regan and the economy with the hostages.
