Race Tightens

Even while less credible polls that show a big Obama lead get massive media coverage, the credible polls are ignored as they show the race to be tightening.
Gallup's daily tracker has gone from a 3 point lead for Barack yesterday to a tie today, a pretty big change. Rasmussen keeps Barack's lead at 6.

There's more good news for McCain.

Just 22% now say the McCain is too old to be President, down from 30% who held that view earlier. Forty-one percent (41%) continue to believe that Obama is too inexperienced.

The race has remained very stable in recent weeks. Without leaners, Obama’s support has stayed between 45% and 47% for fourteen straight days. With leaners, he has stayed between 48% and 50% for twenty straight days.

McCain, too, has been very stable.

his support has been at 40% or 41% on eighteen of the last twenty-one days. Twice, he inched up a point above that range and once he slipped a point below. With leaners, McCain’s support has stayed between 42% and 45% every day since Obama clinched the Democratic Presidential Nomination (see recent daily results).
