Current Event- Post 3

• An article last week entitled “Obama Takes 6-Point Lead in Ohio” from The Washington Post showed recent poll results and outlined the fact that Barack Obama is in fact gaining a lead on John McCain. This lead has been most importantly seen in the key, battleground states, but has also taken the national polls as well.The surge of support for the Democratic candidate is expected, however, as Obama really is the man with a plan for change in our failing country. If Obama keeps this surge of favor for himself for another three weeks he may come out of this election a president.
  
• McCain’s lack of real plan for change in the economic area of the election is really looking like a disadvantage. As I saw going through my fellow classmates blogs I noticed that many people believe that the economic crisis really is the most important issue in this election. If McCain loses out on the most important issue he better do an amazing job at everything else if he wants to win, but unfortunately for him, the polls show that he isn't doing too amazingly well at anything in particular.
