The sharp McCain polling spike in the battlegrounds as well as nationally is jaw-dropping… and speaking of jaws, is BHO’s made of glass?
I only hope that Mac isn’t peaking too soon… and who’d-a-thunk that would even be an issue six weeks ago?

Wow! And this is a Democratic polling firm!
David A B, damage has been done to Obama. He will not recover. The same thing happened to John Kerry.

It is MO after all, it should be a little safer than OH.

Wow, would have expected plus 4 to 6, plus 10?
Wonder if some of these firms aren’t trying to put out higher mccain numbers now so that any BO bump looks bigger a week or two from now. I doubt it but it crossed my mind - particularly with the zogster.

Just like some states are trending bluer (VA/CO), some states are trending redder (MO/FL). Missouri seems to be leaving the stakes of being a traditional battleground, imho.

Brian,
You are right. Missouri is trending Republican due to the declining population in St. Louis.

I just wondering the way the polls are looking can Hilliary end up being the Democrat nomonie or Baraks VP there will be no chance for Barry unless Hilliary is on the ticket. Could be interesting.

If Hillary took the nomination away from Obama, the black community would revolt and riot. The Democrats would lose in a landslide if that happened. Even if Obama does pick Clinton to be the VP, I’d still say Obama’s chances of winning the election are not good. They’re better with Clinton, but still less than 50%. The polls will gradually move towards McCain throughout the fall as more and more people start to pay attention. I think McCain will exceed 300 electoral votes and the election will be called for McCain before midnight on election day. The Republicans still have so much ammo left to use on Obama that it’s ridiculous. They are just warming up. Look for a big October surprise that crushes Obama.
