McCain In Double Digits Over Obama?

The Drude Report has linked to a USA Today poll that is supposed to report that McCain is up 10% over Obama in "likely voters." That's different than registered voters, where the gap is closer.

However, when I followed the link to the USA Today poll, the story did not back up the 10% claim -- likely voters were not discussed. The poll did say that McCain is up 4% over Obama however, and had this good news to relate:
McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters, the Republican's biggest advantage since January and a turnaround from the USA TODAY poll taken just before the convention opened in St. Paul. Then, he lagged by 7 percentage points. The convention bounce has helped not only McCain but also attitudes toward Republican congressional candidates and the GOP in general.

Tell that to Charles Krauthammer.
