All within the margin of error.
With weighting favoring Demoncrats I am not worried but witll step up the pace to insure victory for McCain/Palin. Take NO chances.

That will certainly change before the election.
He keeps going RINO on these fiscal issues. He loses ground every time he does.
Maybe He should reconsider His Como endorsement. Start acting as a conservative. He wants our vote, earn it.
Somebody please wake me up when this is over.
ouch
mccain really must have polled badly last nite to see a two point jump. hard to believe with joe biden looking like an idiot all day.
im scared to see gallup this morning!!
Man, I hope McCain does well in the debates. And after the VP debate, let’s hope Sarah Palin does more media interviews. I am fearful that McCain might lose this election. That would be a complete disaster, especially if the Republicans lose a lot of seats in the Senate. We’ll get card check, some goofy Supreme Court justices, fairness doctrine, higher taxes, more regulation, and socialized health care. Man, we’re going to end up worse than France.
The press is winning this bailout business. We have to get ahead of it.
What amazes me is that McCain has ever been ahead in this RAS poll.
Is the sample still 5 to 7% Democrat.
I respect Scott, but until the weight on his polling is accurate, I will stick with BattleGround.
The 2004 election turnout was Dems 37%, Reps 37%
So why does the battleground poll have McCain up by two and this tracking poll have the exact opposite? Has Rasmussen changed its political affliation percentage again ? That Operation Chaos has screwed up these registered /likely voter percentages formula for Ras this year. His poll is bouncing around like a yo yo.
McCain had better wipe the floor with Obama in the debates.
I simply can’t believe that Obama is polling this well. This can’t be right. Many, many Hillary voters are anti-Obama, so where the heck is Obama getting those extra votes from in these polls? And why isn’t the swing in women voters giving McCain a bigger boost?
I get so worked up reading how he is ahead, that I need to take a step back & do a lot more praying that he will NOT be elected!
I’m beginning to wonder how much impact the debates will really have. If this financial crisis persists, then the election may already be decided....
Work hard for McCain, my friends, or you will definitely face a gloomy future on November 5th.
I fear the same old formula is playing here, namely, economy bad, party A in White House, average voter votes party B regardless of what party B is planning to do. Difference for the sake of difference. But hey, sometimes you get the government you deserve.
49% Of Americans wants to see social engineering continue at an accelerated pace.
Frankly, I don’t think either senator is worth a bucket of warm spit; however, I will be in there because of Palin.
Bradley effect
Apparently. Replacing Saturday's polling with yesterday's polling caused McCain to lose 2 points, which is rare in this poll to the point that it may be an outlier (which statistically will happen approximately 5% of the time).
I suppose we should wait for Gallup to see if it reports the same thing. To be sure, in that poll a good McCain Saturday is going to drop off and Obama had a good Sunday, so it may be hard to tell.
