McCain has cut into Obama's lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday. The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point deficit to a 9-point lead among Catholics.

Tipp was the MOST ACCURATE pollster in the 2004 election.

“Look at the internals — 74-22 for Mac? WTF???”

I meant — 74-22 for 18-24 YOs

Someone please tell me how Mac is leadingt 74%-22% among the 18-24 age group. Much as I welcome this, it’s not making sense.

I can't see how these undecideds go Obama after all this time. I'm taking a bunch of normally reliable Dems that I work with to see Gov. Palin in Beaver , Pa. (no jokes). They really don't like Obama but are hesitant about McCain. May be Sarah can sway them!!! I'll be on the hook buying them all dinner but hey every vote counts.

Why?? Why let the cat out of the bag?? Why not let the smug Democrats continue to think this thing is in the bag and sleep in on Nov 4.

That’s the 2nd one like that I saw today. I think Battleground also had McCain winning that demographic as well. Very odd.

I was just about to ask the same question. Good to hear. Would love to see the party affiliation breakouts. That seems to be missing from a lot of polls.

Terrorist threats!

Biden gave McCain a big opening this week and he should blow through it.

I agree with you. The undecideds will indeed go for McCain by a fairly large margin. All of the left-leaning independents are already on his side. For the remainder, if Obama and his media lackeys haven’t sealed the deal at this point, its not going to happen.

That’s why I believe that if Obama is polling 45% on the day of the election, I’d say there’s about a 90% chance that he’s going to lose, even if McCain is polling low 40s/high 30s.

I thought the 18 to 24 field was interesting; McCain up by 4%?

Rush Limbaugh was pointing out recent adverts that show the Dems scaring up the AARP crowd; maybe Zero doesn’t have the votes with the youngsters or maybe they just won’t show up,...again.

Anyone else notice the new note for the 18-24 demographic? They finally explain why this one is so wacky (small sample size)... apparently they have received many questions on that (either that or they lurk here ;)

Things are looking very very good right now. I would definitely not bet against McCain at this point.
