The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday is the first to include reaction to both Barack Obamas acceptance speech and John McCains selection of Sarah Palin to be his running mate. The numbers are little changed since yesterday and show Barack Obama attracting 47% of the vote nationwide while John McCain earns 43%. When “leaners” are included, its Obama 49% and McCain 45%.
Obama is DEAD in the Water!! It will begin to roll down hill from here! Obama and Biden are out today trying to apologize about the comment made yesterday about her being from a small town.
I predict every small town in the USA should give Obama the New Jersey Salute and tell him and biden where to go.
Where is the bounce!! The Dead Cat Bounce is Gone!!!
We won’t know anything for sure until we see McCain’s bounce. Rasmussen had both Kerry and Bush getting a +2.8 bounce coming out of their conventions: http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_2004/week_by_week_numbers
The difference is that Bush held on to his and Kerry’s faded quickly.
Obama got a +4 in Rasmussen’s daily tracking. The best McCain has EVER done in Ras’ daily tracking is even or +1 if you include leaners. McCain needs a big bounce to take a lead and he needs to hold on to it if he expects to win. We won’t really be able to get a feel for where things stand until a week or so after the Pubbie convention is over.
