Gallup poll: presidential race a tie

The race for the presidency has moved back into a tie in the latest Gallup Daily tracking poll of national registered voters.

What makes this rather surprising is that conventional wisdom would suggest that Barack Obama should be at least 15 points ahead after his world tour reported around the globe in glowing terms by an adoring media. Two popular rock stars even performed just prior to his big speech in Germany.

Compare this to McCain who seems like cold oatmeal next to the oratory skills of Obama

A tie with Senator McCain after the overly publicized world tour must be very troubling for the Obama campaign.

Does this mean voters can see through the media hype surrounding Mr. Obama?

Maybe it’s time for George Soros to dig up another hundred million or so to prop up the junior Senator from Illinois.
