There is another poll out today showing Obama is now trailing McCain. No question Obama's slippin. Could McCain have gotten to him five months ago?

Its still a long way to November, and it may be McCain has peaked too soon.

Keep in mind neither man has crossed the 50% mark.


Good points DT. Few people realize that the campaigns are not looking mostly at the overall numbers, but at the numbers by state and within certain categories of potential voters such as race/ethnicity, and religious affiliation. Another thing. Those who report poll numbers usually don't tell us if the poll was of likely voters or of registered voters.
