McCain and Obama Tied

I think it’s kind of funny that Obama gained his greatest popularity by leaving the country.

The short-lived bounce of Barack Obama’s European tour is gone, and the presidential contest between Obama and John McCain has settled back down to a dead-heat, in the measure of the daily tracking surveys of the Gallup Poll.

The three-day average of surveys run Wednesday through Friday found 44 percent of those surveyed supporting Obama, the Democratic junior senator from Illinois, and 44 percent supporting McCain, the Republican senior senator from Arizona.
