11 point bounce in 2 weeks? I somehow doubt the electorate is this fickle.

Yes, the economic meltdown has dominated the news. But what exactly has Obama done so great to demonstrate his superior economic skills during this crisis? Nothing, NADA.

I have followed elections very closely since 1980. And polling since 2000. I have never seen polls bounce around like they are this year.

If their goal is to depress folks, it may work.

That's exactly their goal. To depress Republican turnout in November and encourage people to accept an Obama victory as inevitable. ABC/WashPost are in the tank for Obama. I agree - an 11 point turnaround for Obama is very fishy. But if it succeeds in panicking the GOP and the base, it will have achieved its purpose. Whether its an accurate portrayal or not of voter sentiment is beside the point. The MSM will stop at nothing to get Obama elected President - even if they have to lie to do it.

BTW I will do the standard quoting procedure. Perhaps Italics will be used next time.

“11 point bounce in 2 weeks? I somehow doubt the electorate is this fickle.”

My bad it is 11 points. But as I have said this is on the Economy. I have heard, constantly, from the MSM how the Public trusts Democrats better on anything economical.

“Yes, the economic meltdown has dominated the news. But what exactly has Obama done so great to demonstrate his superior economic skills during this crisis? Nothing, NADA.”

Supposedly it doesn’t matter. Anytime something bad financially may happen and fears occur, the Party out of office will get some extra bennies. It doesn’t matter that I had no idea what Obama thought about the bail-out or that Obama has so many shady ties. I hate to tell some, but I honestly think that if there is a strategy it was to pick somebody who has ties to a domestic terrorist, a race-baiter, constant campaign staff members who have to be fired for unsavory associations or for being Anti-Israel/Anti-Semitic that they may have thought of something as that might all be old news right now. Hopefully Franklin Raines and the rest will be treated just like William Ayers and the Rev. Wright were treated.

Punch on the button enough times and nobody will ignore it anymore.

The problem is that this sprig may vanish. I did read a poll, I also think that RCP has changed its old poll, that stated that McCain is coming back up on average. If McCain can present himself as a reformer, and crusader against corrupt practices in business and government(as he said in the Convention speech) he will probably rise up again on this level of candidate polling. It will not be easy by MSM trends but the difference is that McCain, even in Obama’s messages on earmarks, can be seen as somebody with a not-so-hypocritical economic record.
