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.

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

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.

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.

This is all good news. If they go with Barack Hussein Obama it looks like they will lose. If they go with Hillary they anger the Black vote and they cannot win if those people don’t show up in large numbers which they very well might not if their hero is not the nominee.

But it is only August. And while I have been somewhat impressed by the way McCain is handling things over the past 30 days I also know that - if anyone can - McCain can blow this whole thing with some incredibly stupid move (like picking a pro-abortion running mate).

Zogby reports McCain by 46% to 41% in a poll of likely voters, taken through 8-16-08.

(I believe the poll was taken before the Saddleback event.)

This poll is a BIG shift because in July, Obama led 47% to 40%.
