Other polls have also been showing a McCain spurt.
A Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll out Tuesday gave Obama a slim lead of 45 to 43 percent, within the survey’s three point margin of error. In June he had led by 12 points, though other polls at the time had the race slightly closer.
A Quinnipiac University poll on Tuesday also showed Obama’s national lead over McCain slipping — he led 47 to 42 percent, down from a 50 to 41 percent lead nationally in the same poll a month ago.
The George Washington poll suggested that McCain’s gains over the last two months were partly fueled by his aggressive demand for an expansion in offshore oil drilling as a way to lower high gasoline prices.

Geez if this is what it looks like now...
It will be interesting to see what happens after the Bradley Effect.

McCain is going to bury the arab. The commiecrats only hope is hillary. But that is a slim hope since Bill comes with her.

Obama’s losing in all the polls.. even the liberal ones!
Obama is making it harder for the pollsters to boost him.

Hillary doesn’t want to be the VP.
It’s a powerless job and it would guarantee she never became President.

It will be interesting to see what happens after the Bradley Effect. The so-called "Bradley effect" was a myth created by the media. Bradley lost because of handgun ban on the ballot and massive turnout by low-propensity voters at the end - the kind of voters who are usually not polled.

The George Washington survey was the latest poll to show an erosion in Obama's poll numbers, following several weeks of withering attacks by McCain on his national security judgement and celebrity lol, withering attacks, pointing out what a dem says is a withering attack

They could be setting the stage for the ‘Obama’ bounce.

So, Obama's lead in the polls is gone and McCain is up five points.
If the pollsters are showing that, my guess is that the real numbers are much more abysmal for the OBMANANTION.
The truth is going to put Obama in the tank, and I hope it is such a deep tank that he never comes out on stage again.
THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA.

It would be interesting to find out when they did the survey.
It was published today.. but who knows when it was taken.

in the latest sign of accelerating momentum for the Republican . . . It's more like "accelerating dissatisfaction" with Obama.
Meanwhile, over at the Chillary camp they're preparing a takeover like you've never seen before.
To: ConservativeMan55
I think there is another thread on The Battleground Poll.
The new Zogby/Reuters Poll was done between Aug 12-16.
Saddleback was on the 16th.

I meant that the dems only hope is for Hillary to get the presidential nomination at the convention.
McCain will destroy Obama.

it would guarantee she never became President.How does that guarantee work?
Is it a guarantee she won't have Barry Fosterized about Jan 20, 2011?

That’s possible.
But more likely she waits until 2012.. and wins big with the “I told you so” vote
