Rasmussen 52 Obama 44 McCain
Gallup Poll 50 Obama 42 McCain
What I've noticed is that Obama's numbers aren't necessary going up, but McCains are defiantly going down. In my opinion this is because McCain is angering the conservative base. The base is SCREAMING for him to fight; to point out the truth on the economy; to point out the questionable associations of Obama. They want him to fight, and he doesn't. He passes every opportunity to point out the truth. He must know that he barely has the conservative vote as it is, that the reason he was up in the polls once upon a time was because he picked Sarah Palin. I believe that the polls reflect this anger. I don't think Obama is going to get anymore votes then he has already, but I do believe that McCain will continue to lose support if he continues down this passive path. What I don't think the polls reflect is that on election day, even though conservatives may not like McCain, they will vote for him because their love for their Country is greater than their anger for McCain.
