In the article, New Poll Indicates That Democrat Ticket Is Benefiting From Financial Crisis, found on the Wall Street Journal Web site. The article shows the two presidential candidates standings so far, after the results of the first debate and the dramatics of the bailout.

The article focuses on where the votes of the Independent parties are leading towards with the presidential candidates, because they could go either way. Apparently after the results of the debate and the bailout, the dead heat that Sen. Obama and Sen. McCain were in, is starting to show a sign that Sen. McCain is starting to stare at the back of Sen. Obamas head. Instead

From the weekend in a Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, Sen. Obama is in the lead with votes.

However, they are not counting out Sen. McCain.

“McCain has new opportunities to make a stronger impression -- and Sen. Obama has a fresh chance to make a mistake.”

Especially when the race between the two candidates is far from over, it is fairly certain that they each may have tricks up their sleeves.

· In the wake of this current election, the two presidential candidates are under absolute scrutiny (creating conflict). Where they are constantly poked and probed about their views on the economy, the war and everything in between.

Especially with the economy the way it is now, the next president of the United States has a very heavy burden to bear. And with the press that both candidates are receiving, especially everything dealing with the bailout and the economy, the voters of America are in the dark about who to vote for.

After all the polls have been taken, especially after the first presidential debate, shows how the next would be president would handle the crises at hand (proximity). With the votes of the independent parties at stake (prominence), it is critical for both candidates to keep the mistakes and such at a minimum, because America wants a president that is very headstrong and steadfast with making as few mistakes as humanly possible.

With the elections not very far away the presidential candidates still have time to make an impact on the American people, especially where the polls will sway.

I found it bizarre that even though the pools were taken, there were still some discrepancies with the accurateness of the polls.
