McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent, wiping out Obama's solid 7-point advantage in July and taking his first lead in the monthly Reuters/Zogby poll.

Yes. The new CBS and NBC polls are showing the same trends. As well as some of the battleground states. I think we might have to put New York in the toss up category based on the last poll.

That's a rather ridiculous statement don't you think? Kerry won in NY by 17%, Gore by 25%. You must be drunk over that Zogby Poll.

Obama seems wishy washy (ei John Kerry) while McCain seems to answer questions based on his core beliefs, plus the Russia/ Georgia situation (attention to national security) and Iraq (no longer a mill stone around McC's neck)

Word has it that Dumbo will be giving his concession speech in Denver, it will be a good one since he will have a teleprompter.

I could be wrong, but I believe sanrene preaches that national polls mean nothing, state by state polls are relevant.

Default osama

obama is garbage for a president, but i do see him winning. Theres no chance at all that obama will lose NY, NJ or Ca. Those are locks for sure. I'm guessing obama wins by taking PA, OH & FL. Lets pray i'm wrong!

I see a horrible 8 obama years though!
