not sure i'd equate mccain with reagan.. but, i'd say at this point obama is not as far ahead as he would like to be. it's an interesting commentary that he can't build up a huge advantage against bush's party.

Zogby’s latest poll, released yesterday in conjunction with C-Span and Reuters, shows Obama and John McCain in a statistical dead heat, with the Illinois Democrat up 48-45 percent.

Zogby said the race mirrors the 1980 election, when voters didn’t embrace Ronald Reagan over then-President Jimmy Carter until just days before the election.

“The Sunday before the election the dam burst,” Zogby said of the 1980 tilt. “That’s when voters determined they were comfortable with Reagan.”

n8. Could you start a few more threads in regards to the upcoming election. I'm afraid there aren't enough and the topic is getting diluted amongst the other discussions. Thanks.

You don't get it. The more threads he starts, the better his chances are of swaying the election.

One thing I heard was a pollster mention is the Bradley Effect, basically how black politicans are several points behind because undecided voters will say they will vote for a black candidate but change their mind on election day.

In the primaries, there were some occasions of the Bradley Effect, other states where there was the "reverse Bradley Effect", so it probably won't be too much of an issue

Ouch.

"I don't know that there's anything I particularly like about him (Obama), but I dislike McCain, and I dislike the way the country is, and Republicans need to change," said lifelong Republican Ruth Ann Michel, 64, a retiree shopping in a market in Butler on a recent day. She said her vote for Obama would be her first for a Democratic presidential candidate.

They're also failing to take into account the effect of younger people not being accurately polled, a very strong Obama demographic. It bit Hilary in the ass in the primaries.
