McCain Surges

John McCain has wiped out Barack Obama’s 7-point margin and has pulled ahead in the race for president by 5 points according to a new Zogby Poll. Of course McCain’s turn around is credited to his “attacks” on Obama, rather than on the real story. While Obama vacationed in sunny Hawaii, John McCain showed real leadership and a presidential response to the crisis in Georgia.

Also interesting to note is that McCain leads by 9-points on the question of which candidate can better manage the economy.

I noted in an earlier post that the Saddleback Civil Forum reset the clock on this campaign and it seems to be true.

  1. Oh…unless you mean that McCain has a side job as a thoracic surgeon.

  2. Surging? Really? Check out this comprehensive polling summary site:

    http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/election2008/poll-tracker.htm

    It contains results from daily polls by:

    Zogby
    Rasmussen
    Fox
    Harris
    Gallup
    Quinnipac
    Economist/YouGov
    Times/Bloomberg
    CBS/Times
    ABC
    CNN
    and more

    In the last two weeks there was only one time where McCain polled higher than Obama – the Zogby poll you cite. Sounds more like wishful thinking than reality.
