Gallup: McCain, Obama Tied

The Gallup polling organization, whose polls have been relatively positive for Obama while those of Rasmussen have been more neutral, now shows McCain and Obama tied at 44% each among registered voters. As Gallup notes, this represents a change:
Since early June when Obama clinched the nomination, he has averaged a three percentage point advantage over McCain in Gallup Poll Daily tracking.

Pretty clearly, Russia invading Georgia has surfaced the "3 a.m. phone call" national security issue for voters, an issue that favors McCain. Do you suppose those Democratic super delegates are having second thoughts about Obama? Hillary hopes so.
