Obama’s Nine Point Poll Lead Down To One Point
Ouch:
Obama’s high point came on July 17th, which was just before he started the Hope and Change World Tour ‘08. Meaning that post-world-tour bounce in poll numbers the media has been talking about doesn’t appear to have manifested itself for Obama.
Now, obviously, we’re a long way from election day. The nominating conventions haven’t even be held yet. But Obama just got done with a couple of weeks of intense media and public scrutiny, and at the end of he went from a commanding poll lead over McCain to no lead at all.
Those numbers for Obama are going to go up and down, but what’s telling about this it tells us Obama doesn’t hold up well under scrutiny. And that if anyone thinks he’s going to steamroll his way into the White House they’re kidding themselves.
