Last week, I remarked on the largely ineffective campaigns of both John McCain and Barack Obama. Little has changed since then, with Obama ahead by an average of 3 points (down from 5 in last week's post).
And that again raises the question of the day: Why isn't Barack Obama doing better? We know why John McCain hasn't broken out in the polls -- he's running in the shadow of an unpopular president and an unpopular war, with an economy in shambles. All things considered, his numbers are about as good as they could be.
