In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.
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.

Must be an election year, DNC Owen is back to tell us why black is white and down is up.
Boy are you confused Owen. You got it exactly backwards. What you said above is what critics say about Rassmussen's Party Mix methodology. He polls from time to time to find out what the party mix is then uses that in all his polls. So his party mix ratios change based on who answer the phones which he then uses in all his other polls. You criticism is valid, if you level it AT Rasmussen instead of in defense of him
As usual, your DNC Masters talking point is exactly backwards to reality.
One more thing. Re: Hillary.
She would be a formidable VP nominee.
But more to the point, her planning on 2012 is not a great plan. Losing the nomination this year was a DISASTER for her. 2012 will have her either facing a Democrat president running for re-election, or if McCain runs again, an incumbent opponent perhaps presiding over a recovering economy (the cycle being on an uptrend by then).
This was her year. The future is far less favorable.
And yes, there’s no question that she can not have it this year. She would lose all the black votes. They would never tolerate a backstab to Obama (unless he is taken “ill”).
Shocking (in a good way) if I believed it.
Denver is going to burn.
Palin is another great choice.
“I dont think the riots can be avoided. They will either happen at the convention or after the general election.”
If they happen after the election, it’ll be so cold that several dollars in damage may take place!
Norm can you image what the numbers are now?
Hillary will be on the ticket.
Yes, definitely expect a bounce after the convention (unless denever is burned to the ground).
Do not forget voter fraud and Veterans votes that will not be delivered in a timely matter.
Exactly. This is always a fight for good vs evil.
It’s zogby so I take it with a grain of salt....but it IS likely voters too so it could be true.
Obama’s pay grade just got lowered.
Heck, he can't, as a clearly RICH man, help out his destitute family members in Africa and Italy. What the hell makes anyone think he's gonna help out Americans he doesn't even have a BLOOD connection to? Insanity! LOL
Go John!
And the fact that it is Karl Rove who said it means that the left might avoid her like poison, LOLOLOL!
Experience is relative: HRC probably IS more experienced than Obambi, Kaine, and certainly more visible than Sibelius, Biden, or Dodd.
Personally, I still think the veep pick will be Richardson.
The convention is shaping up to be a disaster. It'll be dominated by the Clintons, the loonies will riot in the streets and be embarassingly idiotic, and the huge arena acceptance speech is going to turn people off.
The Democrats would be smart to do so.
Hillary would win this election.
But Obama is the most popular celebrity in the world????
Zogby is a partisan Democrat, and he cheats, but in this poll he may be giving good numbers in order to help Hillary, if he sees Obama as a loser.
