RK

Expect it to tighten more within 6 days! The momentum is with McCain now! If the videpo tape uis released, it will close the gap! If mcCain talk about Louis Farrakhan & Rev. Wright's connection, he will win! Simple. He seems afraid of charges of "racism" He worries too much!

A new Gallup Poll of likely voters puts Republican presidential candidate John McCain within two percentage points of his Democratic rival, Barack Obama, 49 percent to 47 percent, which is well within the poll’s margin of error.

The narrowed gap occurs in Gallup's "traditional" likely voter model. The poll, which Gallup has employed for past elections, factors in prior voting behavior as well as current voting intention. This has generally shown a closer contest, reflecting the fact that Republicans have typically been more likely to vote than Democrats in previous elections.

It also puts McCain closer in the presidential race than other polls, which have Obama with leads of between 4 and 15 percentage points, according to Real Clear Politics.
