This is quite interesting- the two latest Polls are looking much better for McCain.
Strange things these Polls- is the voting public really that fickle, or when it comes down to it are Polls more inaccurate than they like to say?
Anyway, Gallup (pretty serious polling org) has Obama and McCain at a statistical dead heat-
"Today, the
Gallup daily tracking poll -- the rolling average of voter interviews conducted, in this case, on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday -- shows the race at almost a dead heat. Obama had a statistically insignificant one-percentage-point lead over McCain, 45% to 44%.
A week ago, in the midst of his
much-heralded overseas trip, Obama began a spurt in the tracking polls -- on Sunday, he reached his peak with a nine-point margin, 49% to 40%. But since then, his edge has steadily declined."

And this University Poll has McCain gaining in three 'battleground' states.
Obama leads Republican John McCain by 7 percentage points in Pennsylvania, down from 12 points in June. His lead in Ohio and Florida is down to 2 points, which is within the margin of error. Last month, he led in Ohio by 6 points and Florida by 4 points.

No doubt their will be innumerable Polls to follow, but this certainly deflates the momentum that the Obama campaign seemed to be gaining.
