New Polls

Taegan Goddard's Political Wire is reporting on a new poll:

A new Research 2000 national poll finds Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain, 51% to 39%, with Bob Barr getting 3% and Ralph Nader getting 2%.

Real Clear Politics has this---
National - Gallup Tracking - July 27= Obama 49%, McCain 40%

We'll see what develops.....

***UPDATE: According to Reuters, John McCain has had another "spot" removed from his face. McCain has had several episodes of skin cancer on his face and, according to the NY Daily News (5/24/08), he had cancer on his lower right leg. In that NY Daily News article, other McCain health problems were detailed:
vertigo, invasive melanoma removed from left temple in 2000, cataract surgery, arthritis in both shoulders, melanoma removed from upper left shoulder in 1993, melanoma removed upper left arm in 2000, melanoma removed from his nose in 2002, kidney stones, polyps removed from colon earlier this year, surgery to reduce enlarged prostate, arthritis in right knee, squamous cell carcinoma removed from right shin earlier this year.

He doesn't sound very healthy to me.
