According to Rasmussen it has been a dead heat also.

In other words Obama's bounce from becoming the presumptive candidate has disappeared.

What I find interesting is how many dems feel that this is locked up and in the bag for him. I think what will occur is Obama will win, in a large electoral margin, but barely win in the popular vote. He will carry big states like CA, NY, probably PA, and VA, but I don't think it will be landslides in the numbers.

I have been saying for a while now that Obama's main problem is he will now be seen as a flip flopper. He said 1 thing to get the nom and now will say another to win the election...will the real Obama please stand up! My guess from his voting record the real Obama is the left winger. He should have stayed that way, I am not sure there are enough independents to win over, but there are enough dems who will leave when he says we will stay in the war, because they have now been betrayed by their candidate.
