WASHINGTON (Reuters)- In a sharp turnaround, Republican John McCain has opened a 5-point lead on Democrat Barack Obama in the U.S. presidential race and is seen as a stronger manager of the economy, according to a Reuters/Zogby poll released on Wednesday.

McCain leads Obama among likely U.S. voters by 46 percent to 41 percent, wiping out Obama's solid 7-point advantage in July and taking his first lead in the monthly Reuters/Zogby poll.

The reversal follows a month of attacks by McCain, who has questioned Obama's experience, criticized his opposition to most new offshore oil drilling and mocked his overseas trip.

The poll was taken Thursday through Saturday as Obama wrapped up a weeklong vacation in Hawaii that ceded the political spotlight to McCain, who seized on Russia's invasion of Georgia to emphasize his foreign policy views.

"There is no doubt the campaign to discredit Obama is paying off for McCain right now," pollster John Zogby said. "This is a significant ebb for Obama."

McCain now has a 9-point edge, 49 percent to 40 percent, over Obama on the critical question of who would be the best manager of the economy -- an issue nearly half of voters said was their top concern in the November 4 presidential election.

Winning elections by negative campaigning is the proven Republican formula. Karl Rove is no doubt the architect behind the smear ads.
It also speaks to the American electorate who is gullible and will vote based on propaganda then truth.
Let's see how true these polls are in November.

McPain is a disgrace and his enormous ego and bloated self-image is not needed at this time.

The truth is out and people are now coming to see the real man beind the words. Obama is just too weak, too indecisive, too liebral and too much talk to do any changes for this great Country.

We need characters, decisive, strong, commited, loyal and dedicated to protect US from terrorist, stnad up against Russia and drill off shore to jump start our economy who has been clogg up by liebral democrats who have refuse to drill locally.

Plenty of reason why McCain is a better president for the next 4 years.

McPain is unsteady, unstable, dangerous and blind to his being used by the Neo-cons and Israel. He can never put American interests first.

McCain has taken the lead on the most recent poll.

The Presidential election was too close to call. Neither the Republican
candidate nor the Democratic candidate had enough votes to win. There was much
talk about ballot recounting, court challenges, etc., but a week-long ice
fishing competition seemed the sportsmanlike way to settle things. The
candidate
that caught the most fish at the end of the week would win the election.

Therefore, it was decided that there should be an ice fishing contest
between the two candidates to determine the winner.

After much discussion, it was decided that the contest would take place on a
remote frozen lake in northern Minnesota. There were to be no observers
present, and both men were to be sent out separately on this isolated lake and
return at 5 p.m. with their catch for counting and verification by a team of
neutral parties. At the end of the first day, John McCain returned to the
starting line and he had ten fish.

Soon, Obama returned and had no fish. Well, everyone assumed he was just
having another 'bad hair' day or something and, hopefully, he would catch up
the next day.

At the end of the 2nd day John McCain came in with 20 fish and Obama came in
again with none.

That evening, Harry Reid got together secretly with Obama and said,'Obama,
I think John McCain is a low-life, cheatin' son-of-a-gun. I want you to go
out tomorrow and don't even bother with fishing. Just spy on him and see just
how he is cheating.'
The next night (after John McCain returns with 50 fish), Reid said to Obama,
'Well, tell me, how is John McCain cheating?'

Obama replied,'Harry, you're not going to believe this, but he's cutting
holes in the ice!'

exerpt from somwhere...go ahead and look it up.

" From prison, John had pictured his admiral father at Camp Smith as the commander of the Pacific Forces, but could-n’t have known his thoughts when, in December of 1972, the elder McCain ordered B-52 bombing raids on Hanoi - where his son was being held."

His father would rather lose his son than to lose a war. I believe Senator Mccain when he says he would rather lose an election than Iraq. Alice you should never questions Mccains character look at your candidate first. Dont even try to knock Cindy Mccain either because her charitable resume and morals is way longer than Michelle Obamas.I challenge you to try.
You are losing your touch alice atleast you use to back up your rants and name calling with some research. now you just name call.

It's nice to see the geezers hanging around cheering for the nominee of the party of torture, tapping and incompetence. How many planes did McAncient crash?

Incompetence or incontinence-Heh, Heh

Can't say I've come to any conclusions yet but it's still a race between Crash Gordon Ahab, the pilot that was going to be let out early cause his captors had gotten what they wanted, and Mr. Star Bucks from Harvard. I guess that's some kind of an allusion to Moby Dick. Trouble is these guys haven't become nearly as captivating.

Twenty seven (27) Chicago aldermen convicted on corruption charges since 1972. Three Illinois governors sent to prison and perhaps a fourth ripe enough for picking.

Chicago's Mayor Daley received Obama's endorsement in 2007 shortly after several of Daley's top aides and appointees had received prison sentences for their corrupt operation of Chicago's city government.

Obama has never stood up against Chicago's corruption problem because his donors and allies ARE Chicago's corruption problem.

This McCain hoot has no balls.

Senator McCain; how many homes do you own?
ummm, ahhh, ummm, I'll have to get my staff to get back to you on that.
Senator McCain; why did you vote not to approve birth control pills but it's okay for viagra?
ummm, ahhh, ummm, I'll have to get my staff to get back to you on that.
Has anyone seen Joe Lieberman? Heh Joe, can you give John the answers, again!!!! lol.

Here's a picture of a real patriot; Obama's homie, Bill Ayers.

Bill's trashing the flag for the August 2001 issue of Chicago Magazine as he promotes his new book, Fugitive Days.

Mr. Ayers is just one of many unscrupulous characters who helped launch The Chosen One's political career.

Vote for McCain since he will stand up for white people. Obama is a black simian!
