RWNJ Conservative Views from Cincinnati

With the polls narrowing and momentum appearing to shift towards McCain, now is not the time to start having fundraising problems for Obama.  According to the Associated Press, Obama only raised $36 million in the first two weeks of October.  That’s drastically slower than the $150 he raised in September.  In that same two week October period, he spent $105 million, double the spending pace he had in September.

According to The Patriot Room, McCain is only trailing Obama by about $10 million in funds.  That could tighten up the advertising exposure, a key for changing the minds of undecided voters this late in the race.

The latest Zogby pollshows McCain has decreased his deficit to only 2.7% (within the error margin of 2.9%).  This continues the 4 day trend of a narrowing Obama lead by the Zogby poll.  McCain’s biggest gains have been in the independent voter category, cutting in half the gap there from 16% to 8%.

It appears that recent events, such as ACORN and Obama’s gaffe with Joe the Plumber are starting to show in the polls.  McCain’s appearance on Letterman seems to have gone over well, helping his cause.  Neither candidate should feel safe with 7.1% of the electorate still undecided.  Once again, this race is taking on the look of a close run to the finish.

The latest Rasmussen poll is showing Obama’s lead is 5.  The state polls show McCain down 5 in Nevada, McCain down 6 in Missouri, McCain down 7 in Colorado and a tie here in Ohio.  Polling is always questionable simply due to party weighting, but it’s interesting to watch the trends.  The Rasmussen polls have been fairly steady, but other polls have been fluctuating and showing McCain closing the gap.

The latest Gallup Poll shows McCain has shrunk Obama’s lead.  McCain now trails Obama 47-49 among likely voters.  Perhaps Obama’s exposed “share the wealth views” (thanks to Joe the plumber) is starting to push him down a bit.
