McCain's lead is due to the fact that a large portion of both Obama and Clinton supporters are saying that they would vote for him right now (if their candidate does not make it), in addition to the fact that he is not yet being pressured in this race as the two Democrats are.

Check out this great blog, and this great blog post, to see the effect on polling that could be had once Clinton or Obama prevail:

I think McCain's lead is a result of McCain and not Obama or Clinton. Perhaps the Petreaus testimony helped him. But I see no evidence that the comments have affected things in the general election.

As for Clinton, her “I'm not bitter” stickers show just how tone-deaf she is. 81% of Americans think we're on the wrong track. Mocking the notion of a bitter electorate – including one where people turn to faith and tradition instead of Washington – is counterproductive.
