Too much of a good thing...

...or simply the average voter tiring of lectures from the holier than thou, Barack Obama? Tom Bevan at RCP Blog is reporting that the bounce in the polls experienced by Obama during and after his Global tour has disappeared faster than he can say "Now is the time...".

Obama's lead extended to 5.0% in the RCP Average over the weekend as Gallup's track went from 6 points on Friday to 7 points on Saturday and 9 points on Sunday, while Rasmussen ticked up to 6 on Saturday and back down to 5 on Sunday.

What a difference 48 hours makes. With the release of the Gallup/USA Today shocker yesterday afternoon showing McCain leading by 4 points among likely voters, coupled with Rasmussen tightening down to just a 1-point Obama lead today and Gallup's tracking poll falling back to 6-points, Obama's lead in the RCP National Average is back down to 2.5% - the tightest it's been since June 7.

Few things are as frustrating as being lectured to by the least qualified guy in the room. Hopefully the rest of this week's polls will show similar movement.
