	&lt;div class=&quot;field-item&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;Pollsters are also getting similar results in the presidential race.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;With polling in the gubernatorial race essentially &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/numbers_dont_change_in_governors_race&quot;&gt;stagnant&lt;/a&gt;, the race between Republican &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/profiles/john_mccain&quot;&gt;John McCain&lt;/a&gt; and Democrat &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/profiles/barack_obama&quot;&gt;Barack Obama&lt;/a&gt; also shows little change, despite advertising by both campaigns in recent weeks.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;In all the polls, McCain holds a tiny lead, often within the margin of error. The inclusion of Libertarian Bob Barr does not seem to have a major effect on the results. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;July 14-16: &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/mccain_43_obama_40_barr_2&quot;&gt;McCain 43, Obama 40, Barr 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July 15: &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/mccain_48_obama_45&quot;&gt;McCain 48, Obama 45&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;July 12-14: &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/mccain_50_obama_45&quot;&gt;McCain 50, Obama 45&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 26-29: &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/mccain_45_obama_41_barr_5&quot;&gt;McCain 45, Obama 41, Barr 5&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 11-13: &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/mccain_45_obama_41_barr_2&quot;&gt;McCain 45, Obama 41, Barr 2&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;June 10: &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/mccain_45_obama_43_other_6&quot;&gt;McCain 45, Obama 43, Other 6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 28-29: &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/mccain_43_obama_40_barr_6&quot;&gt;McCain 43, Obama 40, Barr 6&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;May 14-17: &lt;a href=&quot;/under_the_dome/mccain_44_obama_39&quot;&gt;McCain 44, Obama 39&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The bottom line: Voters are taking a wait-and-see attitude, while pollsters are relying on static models for voter turnout. No one knows what will happen with Barr.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Come election day, the numbers could be significantly different if a huge number of previously inactive voters show up or the undecideds break decisively in one direction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Whether that means a McCain win or an Obama win is too early to tell. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
