The Sept. 15-17 Gallup Poll Daily tracking update shows Barack Obama with a 48% to 44% lead over John McCain among registered voters, marking the first time that Obama has held a statistically significant lead in two weeks.
Looks like the Tundra-colored glasses are coming off....

I think it's funny that when Obama's behind in the polls, you Dems say the polls don't matter and aren't accurate. And when he's ahead you get giddy.

I have said before and will continue to say that there is a large population who are never polled but will make sure they vote on election day, come hell or high water. People like my parents. And they will vote McCain-Palin.

Sorry - I don't listen to the pre-election polls. Especially when it concerns Obama. What scares me the most is that practically everyone knows that Obama is the right choice (for numerous reasons, not just political) yet I would bet that there are people who "say" they are going to vote for Obama, but when it comes right down to it, they won't. Why? Because he's a black man.

Obviously since I actively campaign for Obama, I would like to see him in the White House as President. However, I think it's going to come down to color more than issues. Sad - but true. I understand it's a politically incorrect thing to discuss, but without letting people voice their fears, how can we help them overcome them and realize that just because Obama is black, he is not going to make us pay reparations? Hell, us whities will be the minority soon. It's amazing how many people just cannot get past the color of his skin. It's so 1950.

And fellow young people like myself, who don't have home phones, b/c we only use our cell phones don't get polled either, and we will overwelmingly vote Obama. So, I think that will make it a wash.

The excitement over Palin may have peaked too early, as some people are saying that she might be a liability for Mccain from here on out.

Considering how Obama always magically "overpolls" vs. actual results, the race is neck and neck again.

Young people are notorious for not making it to the polls on election day.
