This tells me a few things, Obama is nearly Teflon, he keeps coming back no matter how much they throw at him, and they've pretty much emptied the bag
Secondly it tells me voters don't know much about McCain, if they think he's more trustworthy than Obama on the budget balancing, all the economic anaylsts agree that of the three McCain will increase the deficit the most and Obama will do so the least. McCain's budget plans will likely double the deficit and just his tax cuts will add 5.7 trillion to the debt in four years.
So either people still think he's the 2000 maverick McCain, or they are deluding themselves

let's see axt believes a good report for his candidate means teflon, but a good report for his opponent means the voters are ignorant.
Let's mention that all three are basically tied by the MOE.

I'm not referring to the daily tracker margin, i'm referring to the fact that people think McCain will balance the budget, he wont and i'm also talking about the fact that Obama's numbers have rebounded
