This was definitely true earlier in the year. If that has changed, however, and some GOP voters are coming back home, then the polls are underestimating our support.
It is impossible to tell at this point, but Rasmussen reports that he is finding some evidence the gap is continuing to narrow in our favor.
You are probably right. Rasmussen weights its polls based partially on party affiliation. McCain/Palin is headed for a sizable win. I think it very well may be a blow out. The next phase should worry Obama even more. He has not reached the bottom of his support yet because so many of his supporters still do not know exactly who they are supporting. Selecting Palin knocked Obama down hard. Now they are left in a dynamic where they are perceived to be hitting a woman and not just any woman but an accomplished straight talking woman who has five children, one of which has downs syndrome. They are also faced with attacking a real War hero one that still believes in the fight he signed up for back in Vietnam, one who believes Victory is the answer and an expression of love of country and defeat a dark stain. McCain and Palin just need to keep their love of country and desire to be even better leaders to guide them. McCain I can tell has been letting himself be guided by his faith and heart. When you follow that internal arrow you don’t need to equivocate, you don’t need polls, you get need to keep stepping in faith.
