Obama turned it around in the last week.
Was that around the time McGramps was frantically running around calling for an emergency meeting and generally appearing as if he had the onset of dementia?
The whole thing was just to weird. Even before McGramps had his spell the media kept making the race about the Republican VP nom and the guy who was running for Prezbo, who coincidentally had no record of occomplishments but had a nice smille and a “funny sounding name.”
Sounds like Baraq Ozombie.
McCain did that in late September. The quote you pulled came from the Indiana summary. A November poll still had McCain up by 3%.
There are several instances where Rasmussen had McCain leading in November by around 1% (e.g., Florida, Indiana, North Carolina, Ohio), but had Obama winning by around 1%. You might attribute it to McCain going nuts, but I wonder if the nuts were really acorns.
