This the second day in a row that they are tied at 44% in the Gallup daily tracking poll.

Gallup Daily: McCain, Obama Remain Tied

McCain is really making inroads with this latest line of attack... and the real swiftboating hasn't even started yet. Just a week ago, Obama was up nine points. Now it's tied. I still can't believe the liberal media will let it stay this way, but a guy can hope.

Your polls can give you as much hope as you want, the state by states still show McCain in deep s***

It looks like the presumptive tag that has been applied to obama for several weeks is taking a toll.

The fact that Virginia, North Carolina, Montana, South Dakota, North Dakota, Colorado, Alaska, and Nevada are in play is not at all good for McCain.

In fairness, there are some states Obama needs to work on locking down, but you have to think, if Obama takes Virginia and Colorado (which looks like a very good possibility at this point) it is going to be very hard for McCain to find 16 electoral votes somewhere else.

in play now doesn't mean a thing, just like any of the other polls being conducted.

the one thing that has been consistent, and can't be ignored, is that Obama has yet to break 50% not including any margin of error. McCain isn't doing any better, but historically, at this time, the democrat has almost always held a double digit lead.

I get what you are saying but even with the Obama world tour, press advantage, charisma advantage and the mess that W has made the two are pretty close. Obama has been flat since Super Tuesday - his held on to nose out Hillary and despite all the advantages, he's not knocking out McCain.

Don't forget, he consistently received less votes in states than polls suggested.

3 months ago I thought he was a lock, now I think it's a toss up.

It is entirely possible that it is a toss-up, but had you told democrats a year ago that their candidate would be polling this strongly in the states I mentioned, along with being pretty much safe in nearly all the Kerry states, they would have been absolutely thrilled.

If you told Republicans that gas would be $4, the economy would be iffy and their candidate would be an old man that can't stay on message and still they would be in virtual tie with the Dem candidate, they'd be pretty thrilled to.

Once again, it is a Democrats race to lose.

I'll be thrilled if and when that old man gets into office. He's gonna make a great president -- for a few years anyway.

I don't think VA is in play as much as people say. There is a huge absentee vote that won't show up until the election. I listen to a couple local shows and this is brought up by Reps and Dems all the time. Kaine really doesn't help as much as many seem to think either.

How in the hell did George Allen lose to Jim Webb? Honest question, did Webb play up the old Reagan days or something?

Ol George opened his mouth (macaca and things like that). After that people started to notice Webb. Everything I heard prior to that was that Allen could have stayed home and won it. Plus there were some pretty ridiculous rumors being thrown about after that (racist, severed horse head, etc.)

Rumor had it Allen was considering a run for the Presidency before the **** storm ensued.

I think VA is definitely in play. McCain is despised by many of the evangelical voters that the GOP needs in places like VA. I'm afraid McCain needs to be spending more time and money there. North Carolina will probably stay in McCain's column as will Florida. But McCain needs to start putting up some ads in VA if he wants to avoid losing this thing.

I agree with what pj said about Virginia though, the absentee vote is definitely a major factor. Colorado may not go his way, but he has been polling ahead in every poll for two months.

I also read an article yesterday about the tracking polls, if you average all the daily polls over the last month (I think) Obama's lead has stayed almost the same.
