Barack bounce evaporating now leads McCain by just 3%.
A bristling Barack went ballistic Tuesday after a McCain aide called him out on his key weakness of inexperience and tied it to another vulnerability of being soft on terror and completely green about military and foreign policy matters. Obama was clearly upset at being accused of having a September 10 mentality.
Obama succumbed to a McCain challenge to visit Iraq and Afghanistan and meet with military to find out first hand. but has dodged McCain's town hall meeting dare.
According to a Rasmussen Poll released at 12Noon Wednesday EST the Barack bounce is evaporating and he leads McCain by only 3%. Both Obama and McCain are viewed favorably by 55% of voters nationwide and unfavorably by 43%. Obama is more conflicted.

For McCain, those numbers are 17% Very Favorable and 19% Very Unfavorable. Seventy-seven percent of voters see significant differences between McCain and Obama.
