Since the Republican National Convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, the polls have begun to swing in McCain's favor. This has some of the Democratic Party's most experienced member's worried. What began as a sure thing has dwindled to uncertainty. Obama needed to define himself in the summer, which he failed to do. Now Obama and his campaign are struggling to find a consistent economic message.
Over the past few months I've heard from multiple people that Obama is going to win in November. Even if he has the advantage, it's still not a sure thing. McCain has gotten closer and closer to him in the polls. There's still plenty of time left for Obama to get back on track, but he needs to do more than give a great speech to win over voters. The speech needs to get specific and to the point so voters have something solid to support rather than just "change."

I agree that the election is too close to call. I saw one poll that showed a big increase in the undecided voter percentage. Both candidates offer a chance for change. The question is what kind of change the undecided voters want. I think the voters will have a better idea about what the candidates, especially Obama, are all about after the presidential debates begin. I think until the debates, it doesn't really matter who is ahead in the polls.
