SurveyUSA: In Washington State, McCain-Palin Slices Into Obama-Biden (Palin Helping Dino Rossi)
SurveyUSA ^ | 09/08/08 | SurveyUSA

Posted on 09/08/2008 7:29:34 PM PDT by GOPGuide

Democrat Barack Obama's once double-digit lead in Washington state is no more, according to this latest SurveyUSA poll conducted exclusively for KING-TV Seattle and KATU-TV Portland Oregon. In an election today, 09/08/08, eight weeks till votes are counted, it's Obama 49%, McCain 45%. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll 4 weeks ago (before both candidates had named their running mates), Obama is down 2 points; McCain is up 1. Compared to an identical SurveyUSA poll 8 weeks ago, Obama is down 6; McCain is up 6. Obama led by 17 points in June, led by 16 points in July, led 8 points in August, leads 4 points today. Among voters with no college education, there is continuing movement to McCain. Obama led by 15 points in July, now trails by 8, a 23-point erosion. Among voters who earn less than $50K a year, there is continuing movement to McCain. Obama's once 26-point lead among the lower-income group is now 5 points, a 21-point erosion. Among voters older than McCain, Obama had led by 24 points in July, now trails by 1, a 25-point erosion. McCain always has run well among Conservatives, but his advantage among Conservatives has grown from 4:1 in May to 11:1 today. In Eastern Washington state, Obama led 5:4 in June, but McCain leads 2:1 today.

Among women, McCain is up 9 points from June, Obama is down 11 points from June. McCain had been gaining ground among female voters before he picked Sarah Palin. That continues. Among men, Obama leads by 4 today, a 5-point shift toward Obama from last month, when McCain led by 1. This is one of the few bright spots in today's poll data for the Democrats.

Tsunami?

Then put on your hip waders; California is wildly in Sarah’s camp. Obummer is less than history. We did have a large number of air-headed succer-moms that were aligned with Hitlery, but one glimpse of Saracuda cured their light heads.

I’m on the record for a landslide, CA?, let’s say you’re right about CA, which would mean NJ will go R too, what’s a speculative House and Senate tally?

I noticed that also...
Is the shift in male voters toward Obama an actual swing, or is it based on a consolidation of undecideds?

For example if McCain had been up 40 to 36, and is now down 45 to 44 that would be a lot different than going from up 50-45 to being down 47-48.

I have little faith in NJ. They are run by unabashed criminals.

The Dems in California are aware of their problem, and are going all-out in fraudulent voter registration in Alameda and Santa Clara counties. They think that they are safe because Moonbeam is the AG, but I think that they do not understand Moonbeam.

If it’s anything like what he did to steal the nomination I’m sure it will be effective too. What are “we” doing about it?

My idea is when the polls close to demand a recount of every election in the country and let’s end the B.S. once and for all.

I think as PA goes so goes the country. If McCain carries it, he will enjoy a 400 electoral vote win. And as the days pass, this scenario becomes more and more likely.

I agree. I am very worried about Florida. The Obama campaign is really targeting the Jewish vote there with lies. I think that is a critical constituency in Florida.

The Jewish vote in Florida is up for grabs.
