Obama takes the lead again ...

Obama - 46% (+2)
McCain - 42% (-2)


Oops. Looks like some people got a little too excited.

That sample was weaker for McCain than yesterday's... maybe even Friday too (I'm too lazy to do the math.)


John McCain is collapsing

Gallup, like Rasmussen, is proving to be way too biased in McCain's favor. I guess the only poll we can trust is Diego Hotline.

Not good news for McCain.  It should have widened.

Not good news for Obama.  It should have closed.

He's only down by 2 points.

It really doesn't matter.

It makes no sense to microanalyze day by day tracking poll trends and then deem such gains or losses as "bad news" for a candidate. Especially when the race is this close.

There should have been a weekend bounce for Obama.

J. J.'s First Rule of Elections:  "If a candidate that say something like 'I don't look at the polls,' or 'The only polls that matter are the ones on Election Day,' that candidate will lose."

You are flirting dangerously close to violating that one.
 




Don't you violate that rule in regards to Pennsylvania?

So Obama gained one in Rasmussen and Gallup... my question is... how pro-Obama were today's samples in each tracking poll? +1 Obama?

Also, this is not good for McCain. McCain should be up by more.

"Obama should be up at least 5 points. This is not good news for Obama."



Because in J.J.'s world, nothing is ever bad for McCain.

The scales have tipped in our favor. If I were to use a baseball analogy, we just scored a touchdown in the 7th inning.

Is this the point where Obama takes off and McCain never catches up?

Ah, how beautiful. There are few things more pleasing to my ears than the sound of thousands of Republicans crying out in agony.

I thought McCain was supposed to be boosting because of Ayers. What happened?
