John McCain continues to gain in the polls in the running Wickre average of tracking polls. Today, Saturday Oct 18, the average is now Obama +3.75 a drop of half a point from yesterday. The average of polls was about +6 after the stock market began to crash. However, last Thursday and Friday Obama's lead had shrunk to +4.25. With polls taken through Friday night ( A night when a lot of Republicans are at high school football games) Obama's lead shrunk to +3.75. I would expect the individual state polls would start to follow. There is a new poll out of Florida with McCain +2. The Polls used are as follows:
Zogby +4 for Obama
Rasmussen +5 for Obama
Gallop (traditional) +2 Obama
Gallop (expanded) +4 Obama
