Gallup: Obama Up By 6
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 ElectionHe manages to hit the 50% mark as the economic downturn proves valuable for his campaign. On the other hand, McCain sticks tight to his 44% margin for the 3rd straight day so Obama’s actually pulling the undecideds into his camp.
The details about the economy…
Separate Gallup consumer confidence tracking has shown that Americans’ views of the economy deteriorated as the week progressed, and that Americans also began to express increased personal worry about their own finances. There is thus a reasonable inference that Obama’s gains may, in part, be related to the way in which the public viewed his and McCain’s response to the financial crisis.Friday’s economic news was a bit more positive, with the announcement of a pending major U.S. government bailout for the country’s economy, and the second day of significant increases in the Dow Jones Industrial Average and other stock market indices.
It remains to be seen if this will affect Obama’s lead in the days ahead.
More tomorrow…

This is good news but I hope the rest of the undecided who maybe holding back because of racial fears to let go because he’s one of us, whether you are black, white or other. And for God’s sake don’t let your religion get in the way because nomatter how you pray, we need for all of us to do it now. Or are you sleeping, while our country’s headed down the drian, remember this is America the home of the free and the land of the brave! Try your luck on the greatest change ever.
