Obama Losing Ground: More Than One-Third of Lead

Hillary Clinton's anti-guru is calling it close between McCain and Obama ...

... Or, at least, as News Copy observed yesterday, getting closer.

"While we don’t know the impact of the last debate, the polling indicates that McCain has been able to close the gap with Obama markedly in the past week. Realclearpolitics.com lists six polls with a field date ending on 10-13. Their average gave Obama a margin of 8.3%. There are seven subsequent surveys with a field date ending on 10-16 and their average is an Obama lead of 5.1. The seven polls whose field date ended on the 16th only include one night of post debate polling (usually of a three night sample)."

Morris mused that the situation should clarify itself as the next few days of polling comes in.

News Copy is watching Ohio, Virginia and Florida. Missouri too.  But, if there's an election to be won, our bet is that Pennsylvania could hold the biggest surprise.

Here's a news story out of Central PA that sketches out the remotely possible reversal of fortune for Obama,  though most are feeling blue.
