There's a trend that is just starting to show up the past few days in the DailyKos poll.
Given all things are equal in the randomness of sampling and methodology, the shift in McCain's campaign dynamics is nothing short of startling.
Check it out.
The McCain brand is being poisoned, and once those negatives go up, it's very hard to recover.
McCain is below 50%, his favorability rating dropping 6 points in 6 days.
Of crucial importance is the clear change of undecideds ramping up, setting the path for an even lower performance.
Palin is dropping like a stone, her negatives shooting up 9 points in 6 days.
Obama's favorable are eroding slightly, but it appears the 'unfavorables' are being converted to 'favorable', since there were few undecideds just a few days ago. The increase in undecideds are [I hope] additional folks who had ruled him out just days ago, and are reconsidering that choice.
Joe Biden is not getting enough media play.
His movement could be argued as 'within the MOE' of the poll, he may be eroding slightly, but he's moved the least of all 4.
This is nothing short of breathtaking, these trends.
Take heart, Kossacks. This could be good.
