As the election approaches the polls are getting closer and closer. With one week left the only way we can get a hunch on who might be wining is by looking at poll ratings in Real Clear politics. In the beginning Obama had a clear stretch over McCain. Now, however McCain is coming back. With many states still up for grabs the election is going to be just as tight as it was in the past with Bush. Based on Real Clear Politics McCain has gotten up with a 43.1 percent compared to the 42.5 percent he had last Thursday. Even though Obama is in the lead McCain is not too far behind to win. Based on the poll Obama had a twelve point lead that has drop to a 10 point lead and has given McCain a five point gain. Based on a yahoo news article some polls however might put McCain closer to the race to make it more interesting and appealing. I do not find misleading people amusing or interesting. With this election being so important many people want to have enough knowledge to know which candidate the election is leading to. Also so many people are interested in this election and by misinforming the “new bees”, we will just get discourage and not really want to put our input to the next election. However, just because McCain got some points in the poll that does not mean that he is getting more people to his side. Based on the article the only way to actually tell who the state is leaning towards is by looking at poll rating for a long period of time. All I can say is I hope this election is not fill with surprises at the last second because we all know the consequences we will then have to face. (Ex: Florida and Bush)
