Forget the Polls, McCain Is Struggling Several polls coming out this week show the general election contest between Sen. Barack Obama (D., Ill.) and Sen. John McCain (R., Ariz.) as a very tight race, possibly a statistical tie: Gallup has Obama leading 46% to 43% and Rasmussen has Obama 47% to 46%. Word to the wise -- the early reading is worthless. Want a relevant indicator? The only important poll right now relates to the direction of our country. In June, the AP-Ipsos poll measured the sentiment of the country and found that only 17 percent of the country believed America to be on the right track. The number hit an all-time low. Americans are clearly sounding a great desire for change. This is bad news for McCain and the GOP.

The GOP has been losing members and lagging in fund-raising for the last several years. An upset in the race remains a long shot for the party. read more........ thestreet.com
