Yes, just use the "sharex" keyword to share the x-axis between the two.
Not only will they have the same ticks and labels, but when you pan and
zoom in one the other moves with it. The example below does not use dates,
but it will work with dates just the same.
import matplotlib.pyplot as plt
import numpy as np
fig1 = plt.figure(1)
ax1 = fig1.add_subplot(111)
ax1.plot(np.random.randn(10,2)*10)
fig2 = plt.figure(2)
ax2 = fig2.add_subplot(111, sharex=ax1)
ax2.plot(np.random.randn(10,2)*10)
plt.show()
