Rasmussen Reports™: The most comprehensive public opinion coverage ever provided for a presidential election. (http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_poll - broken link)
The race for the White House is tied. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama and John McCain each attract 43% of the vote. When "leaners" are included, Obama holds a statistically insignificant 47% to 46% advantage. Today is the first time that McCain’s support has moved above 45% since Obama clinched the nomination on June 3. It’s also the first time the candidates have been tied since Obama clinched the Democratic nomination (see recent daily results). Tracking Polls are released at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time each day (see recent demographic highlights).

Noticed how rasmussen didn't do a poll about what McCain's top advisor said about americans being whinny? I am pretty sure they would have done it if Obama's top advisor made a remark like that.

I am kind of surprised at this because in lightof Obama's attempt to tie McCain to Bush it appears to not be working. It is either that or Obama's sudden surge to be a moderate is making people think. Maybe it is a little of both. What should have been a walk in the park looks to be a real horse race now.

Obama has sided with the Bush administration too many times. Even the liberal LA Times thinks there's little difference between McCain and Obama on a lot of issues.
Obama's FISA vote, his Iraq stance, his rhetoric against Iran/for Israel, his foreign policy of policing the world, all that makes him look a lot like McCain in this race.
You're right. The Democrats should have been able to just say, we're not Republicans, and walked right into the White House. Now, it seems like it's going to take some work to convince the moderates/Independents that one is better than the other.

I think your right, it may be both, I would expect that to settle down in time.
Are people on the left really going to sit the election out because Obama moved to the center for the General election. I doubt it. I think they will return if not, they end up with another republican administration. I would also think Obama's internet supporters would slow down, I have not heard that his funding has diminished at all, anyone know?
