Daily Kos Elections Polling Wrap: Wildly diverging national polls still net positive for Obama

Friday is ordinarily a very slow polling day, a day normally suited for ill-timed news dumps (and, boy oh boy, did that happen today). But, courtesy of what appears to be the start of a regular set of data courtesy of the online polling unit known as YouGov, we have another day with a ton of data. Thanks primarily to the deluge of data from the YouGov team, we have our third consecutive day of record-setting Wrap girth. Today, we see 60 unique polls, including no less than four states or races that had not yet been polled in this cycle.

Looking at the numbers, as has been the case for most of the week, you'd probably rather be the Democrats than the GOP. The lone exception might be in the House, where today's six-pack of polls are a pretty unrelenting bummer for the blue team. Aside from that, there is quite a bit to be pleased about.

On to the numbers:
