Most tracking polls agree that McCain is trailing by 7 to 8 pts (Gallup 43 - 50, Hotline 41 - 48, Ras 44 - 52). There are some outliers in both directions.
Each day of bad economic news, each 2% drop in the Dow costs McCain 0.5% or so. He will not get any closer if the markets don’t turn soon.
awwwwww dont worry ubaldus
i know your palms might be sweaty from all of the hammering that Obama has taken over the weekend.
not time to go wobbly!!!
this is a movement, and we are going to peak right on time!!! go spread the news at DU
Bad economic news could be the real downfall for Obama. FOX News has been airing for the last three days segments showing how the Democrats cause this financial crisis. New McCain ads now running in states showing Obama’s connections to Fannie Mae. New ad running featuring Bill Clinton who says Democrats blocked the Republicans on oversight of Fannie Mae.
Democrats ramp up the crisis, then end up getting the blame. I hope McCain works it in at tomorrows debate. We’ll see.
Obama and Fannie Mae, nice connection to today’s crisis.

Good work Scott.
You said it right there... all this day in and day out of bad economic news is to the advantage of Obama. I don’t care how good Palin or McCain is, consistantly hearing that drum beat of bad news on the economy is drowning out everything else.
