NEW MCCAIN STRATEGY WORKING, OBAMA NOW +2% IN GALLUP

In a tightening of the Presidential race that can only be explained by John McCain’s anti-tax/spend message resonating with American voters, Barack Obama’s national lead has been shaved from at 5% lead to a 2% lead—within the margin for error in the Gallup national tracking poll.

The Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll also released today, October 28, 2008, also shows a tightening of the race—with Obama going from a 5 percentage point lead to a +4% lead in that poll, down from a 7% Obama lead in recent weeks.

Apparently, John McCain’s message of reduced spending and lower taxes has broken through.

The latest Zogby polling also shows competitive races in Nevada, Missouri, and Ohio—where Obama enjoys 4 percentage point leads, and in Florida—which is now a tie—despite Obama outspending McCain nationally by a margin of 4-to-1, and despite the state of the economy.

Stay tuned, folks, this race is going to be closer than the media pundits want you to believe.
