Obama’s Lead Narrows From Six to Four Points

It is still anyone’s race to win according to a Reuters political news report. A Zogby poll placed Obama’s lead at 48% to McCains 44%. That would equal a decrease of two percentage points. However, the two point drop does not signal an official shift. McCain still has much to repair within his campaign which is largely out of touch with the majority of American voters. Right now, our biggest concern is the economy. It is no secret that the economy is not McCain’s strong point nor that of the republican party. What is needed is an administration who can combine prior knowledge with the needs of Americans on “Main Street.” These “Main Street” voters include independents, women of all races, and minorities. It should not be a surprise that Obama enjoys a significant lead over McCain among those groups. There is also evidence that McCain is not as strong among traditional republicans as a GOP candidate should be. With only four weeks left, we still cannot be sure who will come out on top.
