Dude!!!!!!
Gallup Daily: Obama 47%, McCain 45% NEW September 17, 2008
The Sept. 14-16 Gallup Poll Daily tracking update shows Barack Obama with 47% support among registered voters, and John McCain with 45%; although not a statistically significant lead for Obama, this marks the first time since the week of the Republican National Convention that McCain has not held at least a slight edge.

1. McCain's dead-moose bounce is over.

22. No truer words have ever been spoken...next to "In what capacity, Charlie?" n/t

[President Decider]

2. Make no mistake about it .... The market crash is the "GAME CHANGER". No looking back now....

Obama goes up from this point forward as things are only looking worse for both McCain and Palin.

4. Yep-you are so right-n/t

[Nikki Stone1]

5. I agree with you.

People will see McCain and see the GOP laissez faire policies that tanked the market.

[WI_DEM]

7. That and the vetting of Palin.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

8. Nah.

You could have predicted the post convention bounce vanished the following week months ago. Many of us did.

These polls are too early to really reflect mondays, and todays, stock market fall.

3. mcPOW is back to his true ceiling.

I doubt he will get above 45% again, unless something spectacularly negative happens.

10. ROCKIN'

11. The Palin effect is depressing the McLame camp

[vaberella]

23. You would have thunk the McCain effect would be enough,

12. Alright !!! I feel good for the first time in two weeks

13. Welcome Back from Mooseport.

[Demi_Babe]

14. WOOHOO...now DONATE...donate like a beast!!! :-)

[RDANGELO]

15. Obama had to have a very good night for it to flip like that.

It's a three day average.

[goclark]

18. In my head, he was always in the lead

They just have to keep it close ~ isn't it Gallup that had to confess lately that they were not polling a huge segment of voters?

Guess who that group is voting for ~ OBAMA!

[Clio the Leo]

16. "and out of this long political darkness a brighter day will come." THANK YOU!!!! ....

being behind SUCKS!!!

Let's all keep working hard so we dont have to go through that mess again!!! We're coming down the home stretch!!!

[RiverStone]

17. Hell yea!!!!!

:woohoo:

There is balance in the universe. :)

[Egnever]

19. Was there ever any doubt?

Since it seems to be the in thing lately...

I told ya so!

[vaberella]

26. Not really. It's just good confirmation. It was always going to reverse itself. n/t

[nostalgicaboutmyfutr]

20. What About Registered Voter vs. Likely Voter??

Isn't Gallup choosing which poll (Likely vs Registered voters) depending on how McLame does?

Does anyone have the the "Other" Poll (Likley voters)?

I would care more about a poll of people are very likley to actually vote.

[vaberella]

21. Yay!!! We're back!! n/t

[BklynChick]

24. doing the happy dance!

[Alter Ego]

25. More or less what we thought.

The bounce has vanished--not as fast as we wanted, but it's fuckin' GONE.

[Meshuga]

27. There will be no headlines about McCain bounce eroding

The same day when Obama hit his 50% for the first time, some schmuck from politico was talking about Obama not having a bounce. And then they the headlines kept popping up about Obama's bounce quickly shrinking.

Now we see no headlines of McCain's bounce going away and the possible reasons.
