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.

This poll is one of the latest to come out but its in the middle. Is it Alphabetical? Its not at the top for latest. Not at the bottom for latest added. Weird.
I like reading the numbers about Catholic voters shifting big time toward McCain. Those are the Reagan Democrats and are very well represented in the Phila. and Pitts. suburbs (Italians, Irish, Polish) and in NE PA (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre). They’re apparently not buying Obama, but were Hillary supporters.
Of the six daily polls, McCain is within 5 points or less in four (4) of them. That’s pretty amazing given the media’s meme of “it’s over.”
Hotline 5
Gallup 4
Battleground 3
IBD/TIPP 1
That’s a 3.25 average - within margin of error.
This race is ours if McCain lives up to his “strong closer” rep.
My vote doesn't make a difference anyway, trapped as I am here in the Blue State Hell of Massachusetts.
But I'm voting McCain/Palin nevertheless, primarily as a show of support for Palin. And of course, I also look forward to casting my vote against the odious John Kerry.
Also voting to repeal the state income tax, and to decriminalize possession of less than one ounce of marijuana. Additionally I'll be voting to ban dog racing, as I have seen with my own eyes what it does to the dogs -- a family member adopted a (former) racing greyhound, and it was clear from the dog's behavior that he had suffered debilitating abuse. In fact, he was not fit to be a good pet, and had to be gotten rid of. It was really tragic.
