Below is a link to an article from www.fivethirtyeight.com that does a pretty good job of describing how solid Obama's lead is at the moment. The MSM is downplaying this at the moment because a tighter race is a better story. Of course, there is no room for complacency.

Pay no attention to polls- we need to work full time for the next month.

But Obama did exactly what he needed to do in the debates- he was respectful, he was agreeable and most of all he looked like he could be president.
