Rasmussen Reports ^ | October 8, 2008

Barack Obama has opened a double digit lead over John McCain in Wisconsin.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state—conducted the night before the second Presidential Debate—shows Obama attracting 54% of the vote while McCain earns 44%. That’s quite a change from a month ago when Obama held just a two-point advantage.

Obama is viewed favorably by 58% of Wisconsin voters, McCain by 52%.

I imagine I have to be a “premier member” to be able to critically read his results by examining his sample.

Wisconsin is a key state, which was decided by recounts in both 2000 and 2004. They need to send Sarah Palin up there.

BS. The last two elections in Wisconsin were decided by less than half a percentage point.

So who do we trust? Gallup? LOL

I suppose I should be surprised by that, but I’m really not. So I wonder if they’ve polled the homeless in Milwaukee lately?

So all the huge Mccain/Palin rallies in Wisconsin meant nothing?

I will call it here. Rasmussen is going to be the most incorrect pollster of this election. It will take him years to recover from his faulty polling. Take that to the bank. Should be listening Scott because we are not buying your polls.

I think there may be some question over sampling ratios in some of these polls but I still wouldn’t be quick to dismiss them just yet. Obama is outspending McCain 3 to 1 and in NC 7 to 1 of late. This means the airwaves are flooded with McCain caused the economic crisis ads all day long. False as it may be the sheer volume of spending has to be having an impact.

That other polls show McCain much closer may be equally valid and would show that Obama is flushing money down the toilet at a very high rate.

Nobody wants to be called a racist.

Back in the old days, everyone always told the KKK they were voting for the Democrat.

So, Wisconsin people are ready in droves to sacrifice any remaining checks and balance and turn all three branches of our federal government over to a single party - in return for free cheese and a free doctor visit?

Obamao is running these two minute long commercials in the local market in WNC, the damn things just ramble on and on and on, that one is about the Economy and 8 years of lower taxes on Companies were supposed to..

Then he has a weird healthcare commercial with a <-> deal with HMO’s on one side, and healthcare on the other side, it also rambles and even the Mom’s mutes the thing in about seconds..

McCain really should spend some coin in NC though, people here are just peeved at politicans in general, and incumbents specifically.
