Go to Gallop.. they also have OBAMA increasing his lead. Funny only CNN has his lead decreasing. I would like the zip codes of the phone calls and the # of registered dems and repubs for this survey before making a true analysis. OBAMA/BIDEN 08' Funny.

What polls are you guys using? Even RCP says this is a 6.2 point race ... which is 0.8 down from Monday ... and 1.3 down from last thursday - but UP 1.2 on October 19 (which gets most of the polls and trackers completely after the last debate). Look - history, on the most part - shows that it is the challenger - not the incumbent (person or party) that surges in the final 2 weeks. That is why most races tighten. HOWEVER - this year is an exception because the challenging party started October in the lead and if you look at the trend for the month of October - Obama is increasing his lead ... not diminishing it.

They are switching parties (hillary voters for McCain-pumas and McCain supporters wooed by Obama). There is a third bloc that are from both parties who are voting 3rd party and independents going third party. There is a third party debate tonight in Ohio. Of course, McCain and Obama are too pompous to acknowledge a large portion of voters who they are not even close to connecting with. They think we're "wacky" for wanting smaller government, more freedom, lower taxes, no war, right to choose, rights to marry (who we choose). These are things that are fundamentally American. Most that I talk to agree with these things....then they proudly march off to the voting booth wearing red or blue and pull a lever against their principles. Then we get more of the same...I don't have to wonder why. There are disgruntled voters who are not showing up in the polls.

When a woman enters the White House as President or Vice President - we women want one who knows her stuff. Senator McCain said that he would run an honorable campaign and definitely has not done that. To tell the truth - all that sticks with me about what he & Sarah Palin has said thus far is them being negative and Sarah Palin winking and blinking during the debate.

In this Red/Blue almost evenly divided country, 5 points is a landslide. Carter only won the popular vote by 2 points but won an electoral landslide against Ford. And that was after Watergate and pardoning Nixon. Don't forget cellphones are not being accounted for (just a best guess by the pollsters).
