WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama has a 4-point national lead over Republican John McCain as they head into the final week of the presidential campaign, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Tuesday.
Obama leads McCain by 49 percent to 45 percent among likely voters in the three-day national tracking poll, a slight dip from his 5-point advantage on Monday. The telephone poll has a margin of error of 2.9 percentage points.

A slight dip? LOL
This means McCain is actually up by 1 point.
The overall number is secondary to what’s happening in the battleground states, and there things don’t look that swell, at least if you believe the polls. Not that that should dissuade anybody from exercising the franchise. I’ll probably be mailing in my vote tomorrow, not that it’s going to make much difference in California The Blue.
Seem to recall Zogs had Obama up double digits last week.
When you see a poll that says McCain is down by 10 points in a battleground state like Virginia — ask yourself how that jibes with a national poll that says he’s down by 4 points.
As erratic and unreliable as national polls are, state polls are even worse. If McCain get to 48 or 49% in popular vote, he wins. Period.
Remind your friends and neighbors in California that Barry went to Rev. Wright’s church for 20 years.

Then talk to your friends and co-workers who normally sit out, or feel it's hopeless.
Tell them, "If Obama's really 20 points up, then just vote for McCain-Palin for a lark. What harm can it do?"
(...or a as a futile gesture of self-validation of the will in the face of a meaningless universe. Given our opponent, Sartre's Nausea seems uniquely appropriate.)
Cheers!
He is moving up in the states if the national polls show him trending up...They normally do not reflect reality on the gorund until a week after the nationals...
According to Zogby, Obama had a big night last night (mentioned inside the Reuters write up). I have no idea how that can be when Obama dropped a point.
In the write-up at Zogby.com, there is no mention of Obama having a big night and it instead puts a whole different spin on things. I dunno, is Zogby schizoid?
Well I want Mccain and Palin but I dont think it’s going to happen America is in for 4 very bad years 8 years of Bush will not be nothing compare to 4 years of Obama Betus.com has Obama at -900 for those who bet you know how bad this is , it’s time to start praying.!!!!
Am I the only one that thinks that if Obama wins it will be the last election? With the socialists in charge of the legislature and appointing federal judges, will the constitution exist at all?
Won’t we have The One for 40 years or so?
I agree but I think he is up by three. It is some of the state polls that worry me. If this deception by the polls and the MSM work in just one GOP state we could be looking at President Marxist.
If we see the polls tighten up really close around Thursday, we will know the Pollsters and MSM have been running game and are making a mad rush to get back closer to accurate results.
I’m guessing one point by Sunday. This should draw the base.
I worry about that possiblity too.
Even with the so called Bradley Effect, until or unless it gets within a 2 point spread then I’ll start to feel better.
Until then, I’ll have fop sweat too!!
So what then , give up and pray ? Some of us work like mad to win , and vote.
