Daily Presidential Tracking Poll (Obama loses half of Hillary voters)
Rasmussen ^ | July 17, 2008 | Rasmussen

Posted on 07/17/2008 9:14:22 AM PDT by tlb

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama attracting 44% of the vote while John McCain earns 42%. When "leaners" are included, it’s Obama 46% and McCain 46% (see recent daily results). McCain is viewed favorably by 56% of voters, Obama by 54%.

McCain is supported by 82% of Republicans and holds an eleven-point edge among unaffiliated voters. Obama is supported by 76% of Democrats.

Obama leads among voters under 30 while McCain has the edge among those over 65. The two candidates are even among voters aged 30-64 (see other recent demographic highlights). Thirty-four percent (34%) of voters are certain they will vote for Obama and not change their mind before November. Another 34% are that certain about voting for McCain. That leaves 32% open to changing their mind before voting and creates a potential for either candidate to open a significant lead in the fall.

Obama keeps his half of the dem voters, and gains half of Hillary's voters for 76 %. PUMA seems to be working.

I believe Obama is looking for these for his wagon. They fell off somewhere.

If Obama fails to succeed, this will be the mantra for years. Stolen elections, voter fraud, and all of it will be manufactured in people’s heads on the left propagated by the MSM. You haven’t seen anything yet considering the last 8 or so years.

What a Republican landslide we could of seen, if only if we had a better choice ourselves.
I'll end up voting for McCain, but I will find it hard to campaign for him, or send him a check. Now give me a Bobby Jindal/Sara Pallin combo in 2012 and I'm ready to begin.

He’s done for. Him and his b*tch wife. BTW how in the world did he raise $52MM in June. Who are these people giving money to him? I don’t know a sole who would send him money.

If Scotty's numbers are right, all McCain needs to do is solidify his base to win.

While there are many that won't ever come aboard (as witnessed here on FR), I have to believe there are enough of them that will hold their noses and pull the lever for the GOP to keep Bambi out of the Oval Office.

At least she was sharp enough to pick up on it.
I saw Algore complaining that he lost the election because “gasp” some of his most dedicated followers were told to go out and vote on the wrong day. (Snicker)

For those who don't know what a "Post Turtle" is:

A 70-year-old Texas Rancher got his hand caught in a gate while working cattle. He wrapped the hand in his bandana and drove his pickup to the doctor. While suturing the laceration, the doctor asked the old man about Barack Obama.

The old Texan said, "Well, ya know, Obama is a 'Post Turtle.'"

Not knowing what the old man meant, the doctor asked what a Post Turtle was.

The old man looked at him and drawled, "When you're driving down a country road and you come across a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that's a Post Turtle."

The old man saw a puzzled look on the doctor's face, so he continued to explain:

"You know he didn't get there by himself, he doesn't belong there, he can't get anything done while he's up there, and you just want to help the poor dumb bastard get down."

Obama. He literally has 1/4th of all of his base not supporting him (76%).

The liberal base will walk in lock step, across broken glass, to vote for anyone with an (L) behind their name. McCain has not got this won, not by a long shot.

THE Red Death had long devastated the country. No pestilence had ever been so fatal, or so hideous. Blood was its Avatar and its seal -- the redness and the horror of blood.

So we need a 10 point win by McCain.

They can’t cheat and they can’t whine if it isnt close!

Honestly, I think that may very well happen. It won’t stop the backlash, but it might dampen it. Frankly, it will be a long tough 4 years with McCain at the helm. Hope someone comes along and challenges in 2012. Obama might run again, or God forbid Hillary gets her facelift and runs again.

From what I understand, I’m-not-a-muslim-Obama has received a considerable chunk of his funds from lots and lots and lots of little contributions traceable to a few Saudi Arabian credit card numbers.
