Yes, McCain has done a good job in keeping it close and now as it moves toward Nov. he is a good position to make his move.
People forget that Carter had a 20 pt lead on Ford and Ford closed the gap greatly at the end.
Clinton had a 16pt lead over Dole and only won by 8.
Democrats need to have a double digit lead going into Nov. if they hope to win the WH.
The Democrats do their big spending early hoping to get that big lead and hold it.
A 3pt lead (with an oversampling of Democrats) is not the lead that will hold up as we move into Nov.
Amazing how many on this forum are willing to ignore historical trends and use propaganda “polls” as their evidence. I guess some people are just negative and defeatist by nature.
