Remember something well.
Back in 2000, Gore was up on Bush by about this much, and Kerry the same.
Obama should be up on McCain by eight to ten points in this environment. He’s not. He hasn’t broken fifty even once. This is a man who hasn’t, and I don’t think can, close the deal.
And so, we have to have faith that McCain can close on Obama and seal the deal in October, as Bush did last time round.
Best,
Chris
Actually around this time in 2004, Bush had his biggest lead of the season. Kerry was sitting in the low 200’s electorally and Bush was in the mid-to-low 300s.
In all honesty, the GOP usually has a huge bump in september. It started after the Palin/Convention but unfortunately this wall street mess has turned it the other way.
