Good news for McCain?

Time.com has an interesting piece today about Obama's lead and where he may be vulnerable 28 days out from the election. Obama holds a 5% lead on McCain, like he did back in June "But on specific issues, Obama is treading water or sinking a bit. On the number one issue of the campaign right now, the economy, Obama leads McCain 43%-39%, compared to 44%-37% reported by TIME's poll in June. Despite his highly touted tour of Europe, the Middle East and Afghanistan last month, Obama may be in something of a late summer slump. The poll shows that voters have increased their faith in McCain's ability to manage the Iraq war, favoring him over Obama by a margin of 51%-36%, a five point jump since June. And voters boosted their belief that McCain would do a better job in managing the war on terror than they did in June, favoring the Arizona Senator over his colleague from Illinois by a 56%-29% margin, up from 53%-33% in June." It will be interesting to see this evening, in the townhall format, if McCain can makeup more ground. Since last week's vice presidential debate, Zogby now has Obama's lead down to 3% points. McCain, and Palin for that matter, need to stay on the offensive if he wants to win. There's still time.

There are 28 days until the presidential election. There are 104 days left in the Bush presidency. And, it's been 2,780 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
