I wouldn't be too concerned about national polls. Track the state by state polls. Those are more meaningful. They tie much closer into who will get elected. For example, Rasmussen had MO 47% to 41% for McCain. Given Missouri's history as a bell-weather state, this should be good news too.

Fear not...at least not yet. We've got a whole summer to go through before the national polls become relevant in any form.

Although Obama still has the media fawning over him, his halo has been cracked (thank to OpChaos), giving us a better chance in November. Granted, things do not look good, but don't get wobbly on us now. We need all the fighters we can get.

Is this serious? You think four polls, all within the margin of error is a sign of impending doom? Have you checked state-by-state polls?

At this point don't need to lose sleep over it. Senator Obama has been getting the best news since three or four weeks ago. Keep an eye on state polling and I bet that after the media hype dies down you would probaly see Senator McCain ahead or tied.

It's all going to come down to how well McCain performs on the election trail and in the debates. Any national polling right now is irrelevant.

If you check the battleground state polls on Real CLear Politics, McCain consistently beats Obama in FL and OH by several points, and is virtually tied with Obama in PA. Not to mention, Obama also loses to McCain in WV as well--and no Democratic candidate, since 1916, has won the presidency without WV. The irony in all this, though, is that Hillary beats McCain in every one of these states, but Democrats seemed determined to nominate Obama anyway. If Obama is the Democratic nominee, and that seems likely, McCain will likely be the next president due to Obama's inability to connect with Reagan Democrats and his angering of women voters.
