John McCain yesterday guarenteed victory next Tuesday. Polls have gotten considerably tighter over the weekend. The reliable Zobgy Poll has Obama (49.9%-45.1%) with less than a 5 point lead as of today. Obama had over a 10 point lead just last Friday. Zogby says that "McCain is well within striking distance in each of the six states in which he trails. None of Obama's leads are outside the margin of error. However, unless McCain can take one of the big states won by John Kerry in 2004, such as Pennsylvania, he needs to win these six states. He might be able to survive the loss of Nevada, but probably not any of the others." However, Yahoo News had this to say, "remember: Day-to-day activity isn’t as important as what the polls do over time. Losing or gaining single points here and there can be a function of statistical “noise.” To really tell whether or not the state of the race is changing, we need to look at the trend. Right now, the aggregated movement still looks to be in Obama’s favor —– even with the Zogby poll included". Interesting?McCain and Palin are blitzing Pennsylvania and Virginia while Obama "closes" the deal in Ohio...Bob Barr (Libertarian) and Ralph Nader (Independent) are both polling about 1% nationally...The Macon Telegraph yesterday endorsed Senator Barack Obama...Simarly, AP is reporting that "The Anchorage Daily News, Alaska's largest newspaper, endorsed Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama Sunday after declaring Gov. Sarah Palin "too risky" to be one step away from the Oval Office".
There are only 8 days until the presidential election. There are 84 days left in the Bush presidency. And, it's been 7 years, 1 month, and 16 days since there's been a terrorist attack on US soil. Good day and God bless!
