Confirming the downward "trend" on vote intentions, the Biden-Obama to Palin-McCain gap falls down from 8%-4% "last Month" to only 5% or 3% "for the past seven Days", according to the latest Rasmussen's Daily Presidential Tracking Poll.

- Only a small 2 % voters' gap (with 8,7 % undecided !) between Palin-McCain and Biden-Obama was found also today, November 2, by IBD/TIPP Tracking Poll :
- "The race tightened again ....as independents who'd been leaning to Obama shifted to McCain..... McCain also pulled even in the Midwest, moved back into the lead with men, padded his gains among Protestants and Catholics, and is favored for the first time by high school graduates", it found.
( In 2004 TIPP won the title of "Nation's Most Accurate Pollster", guessing US President GWBush's victory against most other Pollsters)...
