I don't know about that. If you look at Pollster you can see that Obama had been hovering in the upper 40's since Aug. and McCain was hovering in the lower 40's. Now Obama slid to 44 and McCain is sitting at 54. I think some of those undecided voters are starting to make up their minds.

Here's another interesting site. It shows how this is all playing out in the electoral vote. McCain is gaining ground here too. He has picked up Ohio, with their whopping 20 votes, and Virginia, with 13 since I last checked. Obama picked up Colorado with 9.
