The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows that Barack Obamas Berlin bounce is gone. Obama now attracts 44% of the vote while John McCain earns 42%. When "leaners" are included, its Obama 47% and McCain 46%. Compared to a week ago, Obama has gained a single percentage point (see recent daily results).
However, the weeks polling showed a roller-coaster of opinion surrounding Obamas big speech. The event in Berlin was well-covered and initial reviews on the speech were positive. Polling on Thursday and Friday nights was very strong for the Democrat, leading to a six-point advantage in our Saturday morning release. However, polling for the past three days shows no trace of a bounce. The data looks very similar to results from the period preceding the speech and, with fourteen weeks to go, the race for the White House is a toss-up. Tracking Polls are released at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time each day.

I don’t take stock in polls no matter who is in the lead, however, in the past a rat usually has a lead and a big one..
I’m assuming after the April debacle when he was recorded talking about “typical white people clinging to guns and religion and being opposed to immigrants,” I’m assuming there will be no recording devices allowed at this event...hum, pretty safe bet...San Francisco hasn’t been so good for the obamessiah.

Thank you. That was an interesting page.
Simply, the mega super hype is just getting old. The shine is off the penny. The honeymoon is over. Someone woke up and ran for the door.
Bye-bye bambi.
The very rich are racist? Not when you are going to get a wad of money. LOL
Virginia will be a lot harder for him than you think.
Good news for McCain. Bad news for Obamanation.
Also in MississippiMasterpiece’s is Florida, a state that the Democrats have basically surrendered. Barack isn't winning Florida - nor will he win NC on Election Day, even if 100 days out, polling shows Barack within 4-5 points.
This election will come down to Ohio and Colorado. It is possible NM or VA will swing it, or there's an outside shot MO can. But realistically speaking, it's all about CO and OH in 2008.
Veep pick can help, as in Kaine's case. McCain can break with GOP tradition and make inroads, or he can go with the standard “loyalty to me above all else” pick that Republican's always seem to take and blow any chance at making a real impact at Veep. Remember what Lieberman did for Gore, and Quayle for Bush at the time.
McCain can pick Jindal or Palin and make real inroads - let's hope he does.
I think Jindal or Palin could be the ticket to a McCain White House. Not the guy from Minnesota who raised gasoline taxes and can't being a state or new voters. Which ticket has a candidate who actually raised gasoline prices for consumers? Can you see the commercials yet?
SUSA did a Virginia poll recently. Results:
Obama v. McCain: Obama got 49%
Obama/Kaine v. McCain/Fiorina, or McCain/Bloomberg, or McCain/someone I forget: all three scenarios Obama only got 46%.
Wow, looks like Kaine really sets the Virginia electorate on fire!
