We are certainly heading in the wrong direction....

I think we’re seeing the Powell bounce here. Biden’s messups haven’t been figured into the equation yet.

Good for America = bad for Democrats
Bad for America = good for Democrats

Comports with Zogby showing a recent trend towards Hussein. This might be a Powell hit. Hopefully, it subsides.

[ilgipper]

Remember he has a 6 point Dem oversampling, which really should be about 3-4. This race is probably still 3-4% nationally. 48-45, or so.

Must be the Powell endorsement. There is certainly cause for worry.

I’ve gotten to the point where I simply don’t believe these external polls anymore. I think that, overall, the liberals want to portray “The One” with a solid lead, to discourage us, conservatives. We must stand strong! We can win this! By the grace and power of God Almighty, we are gonna win this!!!!!!!

McCain-Palin’08!!!!!

Stupid, lazy, greedy electorate ...

[babydubya1981]

Obviously, not what we would prefer to see.

However, I am confident that by later next week, most polls will be showing a much tighter race.

Key words:

Among other targets, Rasmussen Reports weights data by political party affiliation using a dynamic weighting process.

The SECRET SAUCE!!!

I think we are seeing fixed polling. Who cares about Powell. You think the idiots in this country really give a dam about him? He has been taken out of the moth balls by endorsing Obama.

[Paradox]

I'm not so sure that 4% is enough. Zog may be right at about 6%. Hate to say it, but I've never seen the Dems this enthused about a candidate. Sure, its mostly African Americans and "young people", but they sure to look like they will turn out in droves.

Just how it goes people. While disheartened, I'm still not throwing in the towel, and I still plan to vote.

“Stupid, lazy, greedy electorate ...”

Amen to that — and I might add, “uninformed, star-struck and short-sighted.”

[nhwingut]

Thanks for making my day.

[a real Sheila]

OMG! I CANNOT TAKE THIS!!!

[Rokke]

McCain had a bad polling day with Rasumessen on Monday. Yesterday’s sample seems to be better for him. For some reason in the Ras poll, Monday’s are not kind to Republicans. In Gallup and Zogby it’s Sunday’s that usually hurt.

[mwl8787]

the problem is also the markets, and the job cuts that are being announced.

this race is still winnable though.
