GALLUP POLL: Obama in the lead again

[melensdad]

Yup, Barack Obama is now back in the lead according to Gallup. According to Rasmussen polling, McCain is in the lead BUT they are now predicting that Obama has a slight edge in chances at winning in November. Yesterday Rasmussen polling had McCain as the projected winner in November.

Both polling companies have them within the statistical margin of error.

However it appears that the convention/Palin 'bounce' may have ended and the next phase of the campaign has begun.

I also think that the current financial crisis, which is not yet all factored into the polling data, will probably aid Obama's campaign. McCain has a tough road ahead if he is going to reclaim the lead and eventually win.

It takes PALIN off the front page and out of the eyes of the press.

It creates a panic that Obama can use to blame the "insiders" in Washington so he can pitch his message of CHANGE

It is the fault of the "insiders in Washington," insiders like Biden and Barney Frank. In the 1990's under Clinton, in a bid to buy minority votes, banks were threatened with massive fines if they didn't increase inner-city minority lending. The only way to do that was to loosen the credit standards. Combined with the Clinton's administration leaning on the Fed for cheap money, the seeds of disaster were born. In 2003 the Bush administration tried to rein in Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac and to establish stricter oversight. This was stopped cold by the Congressional Democrats who fought it tooth and nail. Though Republicans are not completely without blame, the seeds were planted by the Democrats, and nurtured by them, now we are reaping the results.
