The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton essentially even in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. Its Obama 46% Clinton 45% (see recent daily results). This reflects an unusually sharp change from yesterdays results when Obama led by eight points and reached the 50% level of support for the first time. Daily tracking results are collected via nightly telephone surveys and reported on a four-day rolling average basis. Last nights results were very favorable for Clinton and it remains to be seen whether this marks a lasting change in the race or is merely statistical noise. Single night results are based upon very small samples and are more volatile than the overall tracking poll.
Looking to November, John McCain now holds a slight lead over both Democrats in the General Election. Its McCain 47% Obama 42% and McCain 46% Clinton 42% (see recent daily results). It appears that Clintons challenges to Obama may be helping McCain at least in the short-term. McCains polling numbers against Obama began improving during the run-up to the hard-fought Democratic Primaries in Ohio and Texas. Obama has a three-percentage point edge over McCain among unaffiliated voters but is currently supported by just 65% of Democrats. By way of comparison, McCain earns the vote from 80% of Republicans.

All I’m saying is that if Obama goes to the convention with more regular delegates (elected via primary or caucus) and Hillary uses UNelected superdelegates to get over the top, then the chaos that erupts in Denver will make Chicago 1968 look like a picnic. That’s why the superdelegates (most of them) will be intimidated into voting for Obama, not Cankles.
—This is the beginning of the end for Barack Obama.—
This business with the nutty reverend will have much less impact on Obama than the 1992 bimbo eruptions had on Bill Clinton (who still won in 1992).
Barack Obama either agreed with what was preached from the Trinity pulpit, or he tuned it out and stayed around pretending to for political reasons. To say he stayed for 20 years but doesn't agree with Wright's preaching is incredible denial. It'd be like a man buying White Sox season tickets for 20 years, attending the games, and saying he's not a fan.
When Obama decided against wearing an American flag pin, we may all have been a bit too quick to accept his rationale, too quick to find that issue unimportant. Now, that American flag pin has gotten a lot bigger for a lot of us, especially in light of what may have been and may still be Obamas deeper, and, perhaps, secret, less than patriotic beliefs about America.
Wright says that blacks cant be expected to sing God Bless America because of racism. Obama doesnt salute the flag during the National Anthem. That sure strikes me as an amazing coincidence since Obama swears he never heard Wright say anything against America.
Looking at it strictly from a selfish point of view, the more chaos the better for mccain’s chances.
Oh boy, then McCain becomes President. The sun will be brighter, the birds will sing louder. It’ll be a new day dawning. </major league sarc>
Well, I don’t know about all that. But at least we will get to keep our firearms and the military won’t be shut down and hopefully we won’t get suckered into some idiotic UN global warming scam.
Unless you are from one of those countries that hate America (Iran, Saudi Arabia, Russia, Serbia, etc) or you are a Liberal.
—Well, I dont know about all that. But at least we will get to keep our firearms and the military wont be shut down and hopefully we wont get suckered into some idiotic UN global warming scam.—
I wouldn’t worry about the first 2 things, and as for the third, McNutty believes in the “global warming” scam, hook, line and sinker.
If obama gets in, you better worry about that and a mountain of other scary things.
And easily, too.
Pay attention and focus on the battlefield...
One need not defeat an entire Army......if the leadership of that Army can be defeated.
The Clintons have DEFINED, ASSIGNED, APPOINTED, ANOINTED and CONTROLLED the Democrat Party for the past 16 years!
Until someone politically DESTROYS both of them, they retain FAR too much control and influence in the Democrat Party..
Destroy them, and it will be like removing the head and shriveled "winky" from the snake.....
Armies are frequently forced to retreat in disarray by killing their leaders...
“Credit the good Reverend Jeremiah”
You got that right.
Thank you for your kind words. I will pass along your comments to my son. He and his fellow Marines need to know that they are appreciated.
I politely disagree. SNL kept her alive. She got a cameo 2-3 days before voters went to the polls in Ohio and Texas. And many pundits said her SNL appearance made her appear more human and amicable than any debate showing.
It goes beyond even that. He has zero desire to deal with Obama for four years, whereas with Hillary he hardly has to change a thing.
At least we won’t all be speaking Arabic, reading the Koran, and putting our butts in the air five times a day to “pray”.
