John McCain's campaign is in crisis. The Republican presidential candidate must quickly reverse recent sharp declines and recapture the momentum in this election race if he is to avoid falling fatally far behind Barack Obama, his Democratic opponent.
Provided the 12-figure rescue package agreed to over the weekend makes it through the House of Representatives and the Senate, and quickly, the financial emergency may recede a bit as the overriding issue of this election campaign, although it will never be far from voters' minds.
Wall Street's distress poses an existential (this election's favourite buzzword) threat to Mr. McCain's campaign. Six of seven opinion polls, all conducted last week, put Mr. Obama at least five percentage points ahead of Mr. McCain (though one poll, GW/Battleground Tracking, had Mr. McCain ahead by two points).
The most recent survey, by Gallup Tracking, has Mr. Obama eight points up. And while many pundits, including this one, thought Mr. McCain outperformed Mr. Obama during the foreign-policy part of Friday night's televised debate, viewers disagreed.
Three separate snap polls – by CBS, CNN/Opinion Research and USA Today/Gallup – confirmed that it was actually Mr. Obama's night.
In the USA Today/Gallup survey, for example, 46 per cent of those polled thought Mr. Obama had outperformed Mr. McCain, while 34 per cent thought the opposite.
Fifty-two per cent picked Mr. Obama, when they were asked which candidate offered the best proposals for change to solve the country's problems. Thirty-five per cent picked Mr. McCain.
Two things seem to be at work. First, the economy – which was always the No. 1 issue in this campaign – has become elephantine in proportion.

the brits are hysterical.
they’re trying to help obamao.
That those opinion polls were CBS, CNN and USA Today All liberal polls mean nothing. The media is in full tilt mode from now until the election...
I will be glad when this election is finally over. I pray McCain wins but it is becoming tiring and stressful. I just want it over.
This HUGH and SERIES!
In fact, it is ELEPHANTINE!!!!!
It’s time for the McCain/Palin campaign to GO NUCLEAR NOW!!!!!! Or, do they want to wait until they’re down by 15 points?
There’s more dirt on Osama then there ever was on Clinton. If the GOP doesn’t use it, we’re screwed! Osama makes Clinton look like Ben Frankin.
ATTACK NOW!!!!!!
If I remember correctly the foreign media went bonkers when Bush was elected 2 times. They were so far off with their predictions it was funny...we all laughed our A's off.
Yeah, blah,blah,blah,
Brits need to be concerned about their own state of affairs and stop groaning about ours.
I think Obama wins it. McCain was one of the least favorite candidates for the Republicans and it shows in how well he is polling. Palin helped a bit but too often he comes across as an old man who represents the past and not the future. Obama represents something new for people who are tired of Bush and tired of where we have been going. Little do they know what they are buying but hey, it feeeeeeels good.
Repubs take it back 2 years into Obama’s term and then retake the WH in 2012.
They can have him.
Me too. We are going to be going through this crap every two years now. This thing started right after 2006. It's too much.
The MSM has been tapping into Zogby’s special sauce. Their drunken behavior may turn them all into babbling idiots like Dan Ratherbiased.
McCain and the Republican Party *have* to stick the subprime crisis to the Democrats, because the Democrats are surely trying to stick it to them. Anybody notice Nine Percent Peloser’s gibe that the fault was the Republicans on 60 minutes tonight?

I believe “the black guy” is going to be in double digits tomorrow. It’s just the way the “national news media” is playing the game.
Remember the Brits in 2004.
The Brits knocking on doors in Rural Ohio trying to help Kerry, some then got a Gun Greeting.
The American Embassy in London, having a election Celebration after hearing about the Bogus Exit Polls.
PM Gordon Brown endorsing Obama.
>> there is a clear front-runner (Obama)
Is the racist or transparent?
Comments?
The drop seems to be coordinated with Bush’s speech about a grave recession.
McCain is going to win....he will pull in enough of the Bush states....he will do it....
don't for a minute believe this crap from the media....
ONWARD TO VICTORY...
I don’t watch 60 minutes - was there any rebuttal to Pelosi’s blame the Republicans crap?
