The downward spiral continues for BO:
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Democrat Barack Obama‘s lead over Republican John McCain in the presidential race has dropped to 3 points, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Sunday.
Obama leads McCain by 48 to 45 percent among likely U.S. voters, down 1 percentage point from Saturday. The four-day tracking poll, which has a margin of error of 2.9 points.
Pollster John Zogby said the numbers were good news for McCain, and probably reflected a bump following his appearance in the third and final presidential debate on Wednesday.
“For the first time in the polling McCain is up above 45 percent. There is no question something has happened,” Zogby said.
This is pretty much as I predicted, the other day. The trend, I think, will continue.
And by the way, Obama’s people are thinking so, as well. Which explains the decidedly more nervous, hostile and downright angry attitude we see in Obama on the stump the last few days. It also explains the timing of Powell’s endorsement this monring. (Does anyone think this wasn’t coordinated with Obama’s people?) I called it the other day “The Stench of Desperation” and I hold to that description. Watch for the trend of Obama’s desperation to increase over the next days and weeks.
