Hotline Tracking Poll: Race Closing
It appears the impact of the Palin debate performance is starting to move numbers. According to the latest Hotline tracking poll, Obama’s lead has been cut to 2 points–down from 5 to 7 points over the last 10 days.
Obama-Biden 46%
McCain-Palin 44%
Undecided 9%
One potential reason: Obama’s one-time lead on the question of who’d best handle the economy has evaporated. Today, Obama and McCain are tied at 42%. Independent voters favor McCain on the economy by an 8 pt. margin (42-34%).
