Washington - Barack finally has his bounce. For weeks many political experts and pollsters have been wondering why the race between Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain had stayed so tight, even after the Illinois senator wrested the nomination from Hillary Clinton. With numbers consistently showing rock-bottom approval ratings for President Bush and a large majority of Americans unhappy with the country's direction, the opposing-party candidate should, in the normal course, have attracted more disaffected voters. Now it looks as if Obama is doing just that. A new NEWSWEEK Poll shows that he has a substantial double-digit lead, 51 percent to 36 percent, over McCain among registered voters nationwide.

This poll is garbage means nothing the liberal media always tries to make its candidate look like it's ahead. Don't buy into this propaganda though some idiots for sure do.

This is spin on the part of Newsweek. The fact is that most Americans do not want a radical like Obama to lead the country.
