McCain erases Obama lead

Nedra Pickler has the story on Real Clear Politics.
McCain erased a ten point Obama lead from less than two months ago.
An AP-Ipsos poll taken in late February had Obama leading McCain 51-41 percent. The current survey, conducted April 7-9, had them at 45 percent each. McCain leads Obama among men, whites, Southerners, married women and independents.
Its just further confirmation that the more people get a peak behind the curtain, the less they actually like about the Leader of the New Hope and his lies and hypocrisy.
Against McCain, Obama lost ground among women — from 57 percent in February to 47 percent in April. Obama dropped 12 points among women under 45, 14 points among suburban women and 15 points among married women.
He also lost nine points or more among voters under 35, high-income households, whites, Catholics, independents, Southerners, people living in the Northeast and those with a high school education or less.
In a year when a Democrat “should” win the White House, no less.

These numbers are encouraging, but we won’t have any truly solid and foundational understanding of where the race is until there is an actual Democrat to run against. There is likley to be a lot of fall out, whether positive or negative, once that happens.
