Here's Pollster.com's graphic updated through yesterday's polling.
As you can clearly see Obama's falling with McCain rising. Or at least with my eyes it looks as if Obama's falling quicker than McCain's rise. Nonetheless these are new developments.
*Update:
Just found the Missouri numbers on pollster.com and they have it listed as a toss up with about 7/10 of a point separating the two.
Missouri will be important for Obama, especially with McCain retaking Colorado. One thing I'm noticing since I live very close to Southeast Missouri, is McCain has been running ads for at least two weeks in Missouri. I've yet to see an Obama ad. I do think the McCain Camp caught Obama by surprise with his early television buys. That was a smart move by the McCain people. The question is will McCain have enough to last all the way through November. And will Obama keep his dumb preachers quiet through November.**Update:
Only Fox News could be this biased in their coverage. Here's a screen shot of their latest Fox News Dynamic poll:
No Bounce For Obama? Their polling which stopped yesterday and began the day Obama embarked for his overseas trip couldn't possibly measure the full effect. Now I have no idea if Barack's trip will result in any sort of bump or in any sort of decline for him but a poll that concluded yesterday could in no way capture any of that sediment either. This is just another one of Fox's wishful thinking headlines. It's dishonest, misleading, inaccurate and is another example of their highly distorted "news" coverage. Geeez, is there anything Fox can get right?
***Update:
TPM has some of the extremely fair and balanced questions about the we report you decide Fox News poll.
- Have you heard any of your friends and neighbors say there is something about Barack Obama that scares them?
- Some people believe Barack Obama, despite his professed Christianity, is secretly a Muslim. Others say that is just a rumor and Obama really is a Christian as he says, and point out he's attended a Christian church for years. What do you believe -- is Obama a Muslim or a Christian?
I just can't imagine why Fox's poll doesn't show a "bump" for Obama.
