McCain will be fine.

Reminds me of "Don't worry, George Allen will be fine."

Demonstrates a lack of support from conservative base.

President hussein sounds scary...and coming soon.

The Gallup results seem to be contradicted by key battleground states where McCain has the lead, Ohio, Missouri, and Florida.

You advise we start panicking then? LOL. Rasmussen polls are closer to truth than the Democrat slanted Gallups. McCain and Obama are head to head if you consider the margin of error. McCain will kick Obama’s skinny butt.

Those polled by Gallup are only registered voters and not “likely” voters. And I emailed Gallup to ask what the the percentage of Democrats, Republicans, and African-Americans are polled and they have not returned an answer in over one week nor do they post that information.

Also the Rasmussen presidential tracking poll for 2004 was the most accurate and they poll likely voters.

I’m concerned. We cannot afford to ever let our guard down.

And we have too many Freepers who will not support McCain.

The MSM should be concerned. Obama is the one underperforming by historical Democratic standards. He should be up by 15 points! The poll is within the statistical margin of error.

I’m not surprised with this. While ads like ‘celebrity’ or ‘the One’ is good, they cannot rely on materials like that forever. So far, McCain hasn’t really found an effective, consistent message for his campaign.

Such a pity. Perhaps he should start stressing his McCain-Feingold bill, his views on amnesty, his opposition to Bush tax cuts in 2001....

Get the MSM to love him again? Only if they have no choice. But it might be a good idea for McCain to run to Obama's Left. If only to get noticed...

This is a volatile race with the potential for much greater swings than previous races, in my humble opinion. Rasmussen has this as ‘even’. Was this registered or likely voters? Even the concept of ‘likely’ voters is hard to pinpoint in this election. The other side is nervous too. To quote a great woman, ‘now is not the time to go all wobbly’.

Hard to imagine since McCain should win by a large margin. Obama’s IQ and educational; scores are impressive, but so are his anti-American credentials. I don’t think America’s ready to elect a left-of-socialist (communist?)

McCain is an unexciting, old and a mediocre candidate. Obama's hip, youthful and dynamic. He should be easily putting McCain away!

REGISTERED VOTERS. What are the internals? 52% Dem, 36% Rep, 12% other like in the last poll I saw with Obama ahead by 6 points? (Seriously, not kidding. They polled almost 50% more Dems than Reps and still got the Obamanation up by only 6%.)

Today’s Rasmussen poll has McCain and Hussein tied among likely voters and with leaners included McCain leads by one. On 9 of 14 major election issues that Rasmussen is tracking, McCain now leads Obama. His lead is also growing over Obama on the issues in which he leads. The trends are all in McCain’s favor now.
