McCain passes Obama in polls, not in electoral votes
Sep 9, 11:11In the most recent national polls, John McCain is showing a slight advantage over Senator Barack Obama, but the Democrat still holds the lead in Electoral College estimates. McCain currently has a lead of two points over Obama with 47 percent and the Illinois Senator is leading in electoral votes with 243 leaning towards him opposed to only 189 for his opponent.
The McCain campaign has picked up a lot of steam recently after a very successful convention and a lot of media coverage of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin. The lead is the first time the Republican campaign has polled higher than Obama.
Even though he currently seems to have the upper hand in the Electoral College, Obama knows that they will have to continue campaigning hard if they want to hold back McCain. It is turning into a really close race and we may be in store for quite a battle come November.
