What's Next: The Health Care Debate


I've said weeks ago that the Obama campaign would focus on health care issues for the final weeks before the election, and that appears to be happening now. This ad from the debate last night is out today. In places like Ohio, people losing health care is often the first effect families feel of this economy in trouble.

Meanwhile, Obama expanded his lead in two tracking polls, and maintained it in two others. In Gallup he is up one point and McCain down one point; in Hotline he is up one. He is at 51% in two of the polls, with an 11 point lead in Research 2000 for the second straight day.
