I had a friend make the point today that as the market slowly rises, so does John McCain's polling numbers. I took a look to confirm this point and interestingly enough, the point merits discussion. Today, the market surged on Wall Street and pushed the Dow up 900 points. At the same time, I look at the latest Gallup poll and indeed, John McCain's numbers have slightly started to increase.


It makes you wonder though, do the American people hold the Republicans solely responsible for the economy's short-comings? Evidently they do. 

What this really points out is that voters just may feel more inclined to McCain's economic policy, especially if the market continues to rise.
