Obama 48%, McCain 42% which is up 2 points for Obama since yesterday.

Well, it’s registered voters, which means it’s really 46-42, not good, but not as bad as it really seems. But we’d have to know their Dem/Republican/Independent sample to really know what to make of this.
THe MSM is blaming the GOP for this fin. mess. The Lord Messiah will save everybody. The stupid idiots are actually believeing this BS. Unreal.
McCain has got to come out of hiding and offer a solution. And President Bush needs to grab his teleprompter and address the nation and call people out, who did what and why, what he did to prevent it that wasn’t passed by Congress, and what our options are. Bush needs to do this for us all...TONIGHT.
I’m curious....does anyone have links to the 2004 election polling data? I seem to recall that Kerry was leading Pres. Bush in the polls at about the same time...
Info anyone?
I think the trend is clear, and yes, I’d say its the financial crisis, a sort of negative “bounce”, we would hope. I think the debate is going to be pretty important for McCain. Hope he does ok.
Battleground has a pretty good track record. It is done by a joint Democrat and Republican pollsters.
Yikes!
Let us continue the fight and see. McCain should be bold and come out against the Bailout.
Huh??
It’s obvious, panic is in the air, you in?
Abandon ship, abandon ship, leave your children, guns, money and freedoms on the deck, jump into the sea of communism.
Oh wait, can I keep my guns ...
Didn’t you hear, the drive by media is all in for Obama — The nice, clean, articulate, black guy who is trying to convince you he is an accomplished American. You did get the memo didn’t you?
Kerry by 4, the exit polls never lie.
Rush went over this in his show yesterday, polls are next to useless. They take a sampling of people, divide them up by supposed party affiliation, take those raw numbers and apply some special sauce..ie expected turnout, voter enthusiasm, etc. Well I can make 2+2 =7 in polling logic applying adjustments to raw numbers also.
...yea a Marxists Black guy...good luck with that

That’s a concern, that Obama will ride the Wall Street troubles right into the White House. He will blame everything on Bush (even though the roots of this go back to the Clinton administration), say that McCain is more of the same, and then win the election appealing to voters fears of what happens next on Wall Street.
This is so stupid. He was all about the new politics, changing the way we do business in Washington, and all that. Yet it appears he could win this election by playing on people’s worst fears, rather than appealing to their better nature.
but the financial crisis has Democrat written all over it, not to mention Obama being the recipient of a generous portion of Fannie Mae, and the connection of two of Fannie Mae’s top guys on Obama’s advisory team.
But then again, the MSM hasn’t told the public this so, nevermind... .

Some rough polling today, but some not-so-rough other polling recently.
The financial crisis is hurting McCain, clearly. Obama benefits from folks being skittish, not so much for any economic proposals he advocates.
There is a tendency on FR to jucice up polls that show McCain behind. I’m inclined to think that the polls on balance are accurate - if most polls tell you Obama is 3-4 points ahead, that’s probably pretty accurate.
I wouldn’t place stock in a Bradley polling problem, nor would I find much solace in noting the polls are oversampling dems - there are more dems this election cycle than GOPers, so that makes some sense. I’d suggest we stick to likely voter polls, though.
This pollster is left leaning. Do not freak until you see internals
This was run by NBC political director, Chuck Todd, for a long time.
Do you see the 50%? No
This is all a push by the left to prop Obama up before the debates, which they think Obama will lose.
McCain was 24+ ahead in TN yesterday...
TN is the mostest for McCain...
:)
Sorry but I don’t buy a 17 point change in white women over the past week.
