I think that what you are seeing here is the people who didn’t really KNOW Obama and were sort of attributing all their hopes and dreams for “change” to him.

Now that they are seeing he is more of an empty suit, they are losing faith.  I know the Dems had hoped to short-circuit the Republican nomination by having cross-over voters in open primaries vote for McCain, but in so doing they have actually given us a candidate who now appeals to the moderate undecided’s who are deserting Obama.

Once again, the left is too smart by half and shoots themselves in the foot.

Wasn’t this the poll that you guys said was not to be trusted when Obama had a 7-point lead before July?  You guys crack me up.

Jay,

It is NOT to be trusted.  They heavily skew the sample to the Left.  That’s why this poll is even scarier than it appears for Obama.

Get a clue.

Oh yeah, I forgot, the liberal media conspiracy again.  When all else fails, don the tin hat.

For whatever it’s worth, I don’t trust this poll.

Rasmussen, who I do trust, has it in a dead heat.  But if you look at the current real clear politics state-by-state average, McCain is ahead right now in the electoral college.  That would be expected in a tight race like this, because Obama picks up part of his majority from urban states, but the electoral college system weights rural states more heavily.

Yeah it only looks better and better for McCain, Obama is not looking good to the people in the states that cling to their guns and religion.

Wait, you’ll never grow broke underestimating the American voter; Obama is far from dead and this race far from over! I don’t want Hussein Obama as POTUS, but the America voters are a fickle bunch!

No matter the age or state of health, for a military man it is always glorious to tilt at windmills, rescue a fair Dulcinea and be a gallant knight in armor in a glorious cause.

Better to have it and not need it than need it and not have it.

Well, here’s the problem for Obama.  Historically, the Conservative Candidate tends to surge into the close.  This is especially true when we are facing scaring times on the International front.  The Russia bit just keeps getting worse.

So will America put a complete neophyte in charge with Russia waggling their saber?  Unlikely.

Also, in many of the blue states where Obama has a lead, that lead is suprisingly small.  The momentum is all McCain’s here and could result, unless there is some massive gaff by the McCain Camp in a landslide victory for McCain.

If I was in the Obama camp, I would be very nervous right now.

Wasn’t this the poll that you guys said was not to be trusted when Obama had a 7-point lead before July?

I don’t think I said any such thing Jay, so that’s a pretty broad accusation to throw out there.  Especially when not substantiated.  But your outrage at the fact that anyone would dare suggest your Messiah is losing is duly noted.

As for this poll’s veracity, I’d note that there are really only two polls I tend to trust: The Rasmussen daily poll and the Gallup daily poll.  And usually they’re pretty close to one another.

But it should also be noted that generally, unless it’s right before an election when pollsters have a lot of incentive to get things right, these polls tend to heavily oversample liberals.
