John McCain Surges Back to Within One of Obama - Gallup Tracking
Sen. John McCain has surged back to within one point of Barack Obama in a new daily tracking poll released by Gallup. Obama leads McCain 45%-44%, a dramatic change from five days ago when Obama led McCain 49%-40% following Obama's overseas trip.
Today's results are based on Gallup Poll Daily tracking from July 28-30.
The latest three-day average confirms that Obama was unable to solidify the significant lead he briefly enjoyed among registered voters at the height of publicity surrounding his weeklong visit to Afghanistan, Iraq, the Middle East, and Europe. Gallup tracking showed Obama's lead rising at one point as high as nine percentage points (for the average from last Thursday, Friday, and Saturday), but the presumptive Democratic nominee has been losing ground since that point.

McCain needs to take the
McCain needs to take the drilling issue and run with it, this is really resonating with people and I think is a big reason for his rise in the polls. McCain needs to define himself with a big issue and this could be a home run for him.
The negative ads against Obama are good, but McCain won't get elected if their main reason for voting McCain is they don't like Obama.
