Obama's favorability rating at its highest ever on the day when McCain's is at its lowest. From the NYT:

A CBS News poll released Wednesday found that Mr. Obama’s
favorability rating, at 48 percent, is the highest it has ever been in
polls conducted by CBS and The New York Times. At the same time, the
number of voters who hold an unfavorable view of Mr. McCain — 42
percent — is as high as it has been since CBS News and The Times began
asking the question about Mr. McCain in 1999, the first time he ran for
president.

The CBS News poll showed that Mr. Obama had a
nine-percentage-point lead over Mr. McCain — 49 percent to 40 percent.
It is the first time Mr. Obama has held a statistically significant
lead over Mr. McCain this year in polls conducted by CBS or joint polls
by CBS and The Times. And a series of polls taken in highly contested
states released by other organizations on Tuesday suggested that Mr.
Obama was building leads in states including Florida, Pennsylvania and
Virginia.
