What does a __ Point Lead Look Like?

Some history for those poll-obsessed. McCain trails in "national" polls these days by anywhere from a point to fourteen points. A point seems close, fourteen, not so much.

Charlie Cook reminds us of where historical blow outs have landed on that point scale:

As things are going now, this election would appear to be on a track to match:

• Bill Clinton's 1992 5.6 percent margin over President George H.W. Bush,

the question is whether it gets to(:)

• Bush's 1988 7.7 percent win over Michael Dukakis or
• Clinton's 8.5 percent win over Robert Dole in 1996.
