A recent news article reports “As the candidates make their closing arguments before the election, the race has tightened with Barack Obama now leading John McCain by 47 percent to 44 percent among likely voters, according to a FOX News poll released Thursday. Last week Obama led by 49-40 percent among likely voters…. Opinion Dynamics Corp.conducted the national telephone poll of 900 likely voters for FOX News from October 28 to October 29. The poll has a 3-point error margin. ‘Likely voters’ are registered voters who are considered more likely to vote in the November presidential election.”
There have been some dramatic developments in the last week most notably:
* Obama made that “spread the wealth around” comment.
* Biden guaranteed Americans that a crisis will result as foreign leaders test a young Obama if he wins.
* Information has come out that Obama helped cause the subprime crisis by suing banks on behalf of ACORN to make more subprime loans to minorities.
* Right Wing talk show hosts have been pointing out that Obama plans to let the “Bush tax cuts” expire, which would be a tax increase for most Americans.
Another recent news story reports “Scott Rasmussen, whose Rasmussen Report poll showed Obama with a narrow, 3-point lead, said McCain seems to be picking up support by arguing that Obama’s tax plans smack of socialist policies.”
As election day approaches, millions of Americans are beginning to realize that Obama is little more than another tax-and-spend liberal. No one has ever taxed their way out of a recession, but this seems to be the heart and soul of Obama’s plan when you finally pin him down to give some details instead of his usual flowery vague rhetoric.
Combine the rapidly tightening polls with “The Bradley Effect” in which pollsters traditionally discover that Black candidates are much less popular than their polls claim, and there’s a very good chance Obama could be defeated on election day.
