I think you are trying to build your house on a foundation of sand.
First, polls this far from November are rarely significant.
Second, building you case on one poll, your CBS sponsored poll is dubious. RCP has a much better approach, averaging relevant polls together. They were exactly, to the tenth of a percent, right on the percentages after the election in 2008.
