Did you just make that up? I just had to check it out.

[SIZE=2]Republican John McCain made a small gain against Democrat Barack Obama and has pulled back within the margin of error, now trailing Obama by five points, 49.1% to 44.1%, the latest Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily tracking telephone poll shows.[/SIZE]

The lead you are speaking of was a three day average of Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday. When you poll on Friday alone, McCain has a slight edge.

Duplicate thread..This has already been beaten to death..It's nonsense. McCain is down by 5 in Zogby 11 in Gallup which basically means McCain is still down by an average of 5-7pts as he has since September.

Watch the trends not the polls. They have over polled Obama and have on average polled far more dems then reps in most polls.

The trends are shifting to McCain because Obama is getting exposed for his tax hikes, small business killer and his policies will cause massive layoffs.

Investors are scared of Obama socialist ideas.

He is also in line with this horrible dem congress to spend us into a depression.

Take a look at next years dem budget, where on earth are they planning on getting the money and add his 1 trillion new spending and we are going to be taxed to pieces to pay for it.

Speading the wealth will not work, have you ever been given a job by a poor person? NO.

People are worried that the TAX MAN OBAMA will take away everything under the sun from them and hand it to losers.

McCain is going to win, wait and see.

Obama is getting exposed, even CNN is going after some of his policies in the last two days, tells me they know McCain is going to win and they are trying to make up to viewers.

Obama is dirty and people have had it with him.

No more coverups. No more scams, no more hide and seek.

Watch for more Rev Wright adds to take Obama down in several states.

Mac is gaining so fast Obama is scared to death, he was in Iowa yesterday because his own polling is showing he may lose Iowa.

Finally Americans are going for the one who will protect us and create millions of new jobs, win the war, not steal from us, not have a socialist agenda and not hide everything from us.

That is John McCain!

Another factor which could sway these polls is the Bradley Effect.
