The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama attracting 50% of the vote while John McCain earns 45%. This is Obama’s biggest lead since his convention bounce peaked with a six-point advantage. In fact, on only two days since clinching the Democratic nomination in early June has Obama enjoyed a lead bigger than he has today.

rasmussen surge is a week behind gallup.
I cannot believe how many stupid people there are in the U.S.. You have to be a mental case to vote for a disguised Muslim who is as dumb as a post and tells lies without any effort at all.
I ten d to agree with ytou but Zogby, Gallup and the Battleground Tracking Poll have all been showing movement to McCain this week. rasmussen is the only fly in the ointment..his state polling looks a little fishy too. I wonder what’s up.
That's the case EVERY year. People are too lazy to find out the facts. They'd rather tune in at 6:30pm and let Brian Williams et al TELL they how to feel.
Well, I guess that’s it then. I’ll tell all of my Republican friends to stay home and not vote because a sampling of 500 people or so say McCain/Palin won’t win. *SMIRK*
I a telling you John Zogby does real polling
See who Rush uses and who got the Presidential races right.
Let's hope McCain does well in the debate. If not, it's hello socialism.
Card Check
Nationalized Health Care
Higher taxes
Higher electricity prices
But hey, if Obama does everything he wants (and the Senate and house will go along, I'm sure), that'll at least solve the immigration crisis we're having. After our economy tanks, a lot of immigrants may decide they'll just go back to Mexico or Guatemala or wherever they came from.
Let’s face it, folks. No matter what they say, these polls are +/- 5 to 10% on any given day.
The initial reaction over this economic summit stuff and McCain possibly skipping the debate was decidely pro-Obama. Most of the average voters who don’t go to FR or other blogs didn’t see an OODA loop or any complicated strategery on McCain’s part, they just kneejerk react to Obama wanting to debate and McCain not. McCain may have even expected that and is hoping the endgame to this situation turns things around.
With disparity like that, she could have been working on the Obama campaign.
The polls are the equivalent to hurricane models saying precisely where it will be in 7 days, all over the place with fudge up internals. Don’t worry just keep pounding away.
I had a problem with McCain talking about not going to the debate, I had a feeling this wasn’t good. It reminds me of the debate he had with Bush back in 2000, remember the TV on the chair? With Bush at the debate by himself? It wasn’t a good visual. It seems that it was all down hill from there. I just really hope that McCain knocks it off. He is not president yet, he needs to show up for the debate.
And if McCain(and others) work out a good financial solution this weedend, the numbers will change again. The overall situation is so dynamic right now that polls really mean nothing.
JMO, you three above have a lot of money in Wall Street and want to be bailed out. Maybe Rasmussen is also highly leveraged and thus cooking the polls, since his is the only one showing this trend that would be bad for McCain current stance.
After Obama’s BLUNDER the past couple of days, this does not make sense. Unless America truly is too busy to pay attention...Starbuck’s anyone?
Agreed - where are the ads talking about Obama being the most liberal senator? His shady connections? His lack of executive experience?
JMO but that’s one of the worst responses I’ve seen in all my years on this site....
And, you arrive at that opinion HOW? What statement of mine leads you to believe that?
Of course, you're completely wrong but hey, everyone is entitled to their opinion.
