Barack Obama's 11-point lead in Wisconsin is now down to four. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state shows Obama leading John McCain 47% to 43%. When leaners are included in the totals, Obama leads 51% to 44%.
Last month, in the first Wisconsin poll conducted since Hillary Clinton dropped out of the race for the Democratic presidential nomination, Obama was ahead of his Republican opponent 50% to 39%. Obama is supported by 86% of Wisconsin Democrats, McCain by 95% of Republicans. Voters not affiliated with either major party are evenly divided.
The Democrat leads by a 2-to-1 margin among voters under 30 while McCain has a seven percentage point advantage among voters over 65.
McCain leads among those earning $40,000 to $75,000 a year. His opponent is ahead among those who earn above that level and below it.
McCain is viewed favorably by 56% of Wisconsin voters, roughly the same number as last month. But Obama is now given favorable marks by 53%, down from 61% in July.
Seems like a lot more Obama states are turning into battleground states.
Obamalamadingdong needs just a few more weeks out on the campaign to assure his defeat in November.
things are moving slow, but...they are moving our way (I think)
Gee, wonder when ACORN will start slashin’ tires?

Apparently, historical data shows that Obama 4% less of the vote than he polls.
Don’t know why.
Maybe there are people who won’t admit they are not going to vote for him for fear of being labeled a racistso they tick th Obama box in the polls but vote against him when it’s secret.
The one hit wonder, What hit might that be?????
No he will be chairman of the DNC.
“Gee, wonder when ACORN will start slashin tires?”
As an energy-saving measure?
/just kidding
True, but in this case, McCain gets further away when “leaners” are included, because WI is and will always be a “teaser” state. McCain should learn his lesson from Bush and not put money into this state.
If Obama loses (and he will), the Clintonites will own the party. Obama and his supporters will be persona non grata.
Yeah, my real guess is that he will lose his reelection for the Senate.
The SurveyUSA poll has Obama up only by 3 in OREGON.
McCain’s ads are very effective! Keep it up McCain!
I wouldn’t completely give up on Wisconsin. There might be enough people up their who cling to their bibles and guns who we can scare into voting for McCain to turn the election. If nothing else we can always manipulate the vote by hacking into our Diebold machines.
Wow. If The Marxist messiah is only up 3 in the People's Republic if Oregon he is really screwed.
