Meh... not bad. Could be better, could be worse. Will probably stay close one way or another until at least the first debate.

The only drawback to this 50-50 dynamic is that "kissing your sister" probably has more exciting connotations for Republicans than for Dems. (Yes, that is a regionally bigoted joke. So sue me.)

2. Looks good to me. Sept 1-4 is RNC with post bounce fading.

I like it

3. I wouldn't be shocked if this particular poll is 46-46 for the next week

The first debate will be very interesting

5. Better than a Week Ago, But Still Far From "Good"

Down 2 is a statistical tie, which is better than down 5, which is LOSING.

Still not good. Not even close to good.

4. IIRC, Kerry was way behind and had to use the debates to close

the gap and make it close. It's already statistically a dead heat.

What Team Obama and all of his supporters need to do is set the bar VERY high for McCain starting right now.

The first debate is foreign policy. Start talking up McCain and how he should be very comfortable with the topic.
