Republican John McCain continued a slow advance on Democrat Barack Obama in the race for president, moving back within three percentage points as the race begins to head down the stretch run, the latest Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily tracking poll shows.
McCain now trails Obama by 2.7 points, down from the 3.9 point deficit he faced 24 hours earlier.
Seven-point-one percent of the likely voters surveyed said they remain undecided.
Obama lost five-tenths of a point from yesterday's report, while McCain gained another six-tenths of a point. It was the third consecutive day in which Obama's numbers slipped and McCain's numbers increased.
McCain has once again moved above 45% support overall, a mark he has not seen since the second day of daily tracking reports. Obama's slip under 48% support is the first time at that level in nearly a week. He now stands within one-tenth of a percent of where he stood when the Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily tracking began almost two weeks ago. McCain is within two-tenths of a percent of where he was when the tracking poll began.
During the 13 days of the tracking poll, Obama has led by as much as 6.2 points and as little as 1.9 points.
Except for a few hours of polling, this three-day rolling average of telephone polling now includes a sample taken entirely after the final presidential debate last Wednesday.
The tracking poll includes 1,211 likely voters across the country who were surveyed between Oct. 16-18, 2008, at the rate of about 400 per day. The survey, conducted using live telephone interviewers calling from Zogby's call center in Upstate New York, carries a margin of error of +/- 2.9 percentage points.

Nice try pollsters. After months of tireless work to favor and elect Obama, you see that your efforts might be failing. Therefore, it is time to salvage your reputation and put some truth to your polling. Happens every time.
Okay, what about the states that actually count? OH, VA, CO, FL, PA, IN, and what not?
The rest of the states are mostly decided already.
If McCain overcomes this deficit, it would be one for the record books.
You would think McCain should be down by 30 points, but he’s not.
If you ask me, this race got even tighter thanks to all the ACORN fraud that pops up like chigger weed on a hot summer day.
If this race is so “in the bag” for Obama, then there really shouldn’t be this need to cheat.
Well put. Obama may have raised $175 million, but he did so by eschewing public funding of elections and accepting illegal contributions from foreign sources. Also, there is no 10 per cent lead for Obama — that illusion (lie) evaporated when John McCain announced his choice for VP.
That’s because the tortoise is getting too close to the hare. They sensed the need to put out some more heavily-oversampled Democrat polls to give the hare another sprint ahead. Wouldn’t want the tortoise to get too close!
bttt

Interesting. What is she waiting for, to accuse him as he’s being sworn in? Lol.
Such a predictable comment from you.
It really sucks that none of the major polls can get McCain back to even, if nothing more than the appearances to the undecided and swing voters that their vote means something in this election.
Thanks for the ping.
I’m not late, I saw that, I was talking about the never ending negativity from you.
