There is only about four weeks left until election day and rumor is Obama is running the polls while McCain is slowly drifting away. This could be because the Republican campaign is being hurt by the problems of the economy. In a national poll done by CNN Obama leads McCain 53 percent to 45 among likely voters. Obama has now widened his lead in states that were for McCain. However McCain still has the better edge on leading the U.S. fight against terrorism and the war.
