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.

Ask Mr. Dewey! when Truman woke up and realized he won. everyone thought he would lose because of all the polls.
Whether you are for or against a party, never look at polls.
They mean nothing..... |

| I don't even have a landline I think only old people who are probably going to vote for McCain anyway have landlines and actually answer them when someone they don't know calls instead of letting it to go voicemail like the rest of us. |

| Haha... true true. I hate polls though. Mostly media creations to influence voters. I don't pay attention to them until the week of the election. I remember when Mondale was up on Regan by 18 points in the polls...lol. |

| I've seen a ton of his ads during the olympics. He is spending big on them. In 2 hours I saw about 5 of those "Obama is gonna raise yer taxes" ads. Utter BS, but sadly it is working. |

| Personally I am not that surprised at all, especially after the Georgia crisis. I was never really a fan of Obama to begin with. He just seemed to me like a person who says whatever he thinks people want to hear. Not that I'm a big McCain fan either, but his personal beliefs are easier to see. Too bad Hillary was thrown out of the race, she was my fav... |
