National polls probably don't matter because the popular vote does not elect a president. Electoral votes matter.
But the trend is towards McCain right now. He is nearly tied with Obama in Rasmussen's national tracking poll. They have been one point apart, but on Sunday Obama was up another insignificant (in the short term) point.
The data intensive blog 538 has Obama up in likely electoral college votes by 295 - 243.
Rasmussen, last Friday, released three polls. Two in swing states, one in a safe state.
Michigan: Obama is ahead by 7. 47-40%. But only by 4% among leaners.
Missouri: McCain is up 7. 48-41%
Washington: Obama up by 12. 54-42%

Colorado CPA member Milt Heft has these thoughts on money, wealth and the economy. Heft is the owner of Petrogen, Inc in Colorado Springs.
A few thoughts about manufacturing:
There is a great misunderstanding of the relationship- between money and wealth. The beginning principles with which we can all agree are a few and simple noble truths:
1. Money is meaningless without wealth.
2. Wealth is difficult to distribute without money.
3. Wealth is the reality of the physical things we need to survive and thrive: food, clothing, shelter, ice cream & computers. It is the product of mining, industrial production, and agriculture.
4. Money is anything that make the wheels of production and distribution go round.
5. Money is easy to manufacture and control.
6. Wealth takes a lot of blood, sweat, toil and tears.
