WASHINGTON – Democrat Barack Obama's lead over Republican John McCain in the
presidential race has dropped to 3 points, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll
released on Sunday. Obama leads McCain by 48 to 45 percent among likely U.S. voters,
down 1 percentage point from Saturday. The four-day tracking poll, which has a margin
of error of 2.9 points.

The Real Clear average this morning is 4.9. Only a few days ago, the average was 7.6.
Any way we look at it, that's a 35 percent drop for Obama's lead in less than a week.
The man anointed by the mainstream media should be running away with this election
right now. One wonders if this so-called "lead" is nothing more than a media-invented fantasy.
