Powell was never that popular amongst Republicans because he wasn't exactly a Republican to begin with. His endorsement has had little effect according to the latest battleground poll. Obama is clinging to a 48% to 47% lead nationally according to them.
The problem with Obama is he needs all kinds of help. He's not a strong closer. He can't seal the deal. If he's soooo popular with voters, he should be off and running to a landslide of epic proportions, not winnowing along with a one point lead nationally. He thought he needed Powell to boost him, but Powell's endorsement didn't even help him that much.
Look at how Obama had to win the primaries. He had to depend on super delegates. A large majority of Democrats actually chose Hillary over Obama. Their votes were disenfranchised by their own party. I find that in itself comical.
maybe you should wonder what poll YOU were citing. the poll you are citing was for a specific question: Between Republican John McCain and Democrat Barack Obama, which candidate for President in 2008 do you believe can best manage the U.S economy? that is the 46.5 to 43

I love the way some people try to use old polling data as new polling data. from the same poll, only recent.

Barack Obama 46%
John McCain 43%
Now isn't that something? I wonder what recent poll you were actually quoting?
