McCain Gains 2 points in ABC Poll. The headline? "Disfavor With Palin Grows; Economy Keeps Boosting Obama"
(Excerpt) Read more at abcnews.go.com ...
The demographic breakdowns are part of the Battleground internals for their 10/23/08 results. Here is a link to the internals:

So those are the actual favorability breakdowns? Impressive. Hispanic men love Sarah.
Sarah has polled well with Hispanics pretty much the whole time. And why shouldn’t she? She’s a cultural conservative, as are many Hispanics (especially Catholics). She’s middle class, as they are.
But until today it never dawned on me to see if Sarah’s overall favorability ratings had a racial element. And when I checked, well, you saw what I found.

They are pretending that the rallies don’t exist. Do a search for Palin rallies and then do one for Obama rallies and see what you find.
The ONLY FOLKS she has fallen into disfavor with are the DUDS that despised her from the begining.....the BIASED COMMIE LIBERAL MAIN STREAM MEDIA!
Perhaps the conventional wisdom has the cause and effect backwards? We’ve been hearing that as the market goes south, Obama improves in the polls, Maybe it’s the reporting of Obama’s (inflated) poll numbers that’s driving the market down??
Bad weather lends itself to conservatives voting in droves vs liberals. Most liberals tend to be younger and urban. Ever tried to get a punk kid or a city slicker to do something when it’s “too cold” or “too rainy”? They fold like a card table. So the large turnout may be a good sign for our side.
Liberals aren’t hardy folks. Liberals tend to quit when things get too hard. It’s the liberal way. That’s why they won’t vote when the weather’s too rough.
I remember when I used to work security at the Metrodome, most of the young, non conservative people (I knew they were liberal because all they could do is bitch about Bush) that worked there HATED working outdoors. They all wanted to work indoors like some kind of pansies. None of them had the sense to prepare for the cold weather. A lot of them quit because they couldn’t handle the cold. The older retirees who tended to be more conservative stuck out the season, even when it got too cold.
And if the weather next week in the Upper Midwest is horrible, that would knock out the main Obama constituents in Minnesota and Wisconsin. There will be record turnout in the North Side of Minneapolis and the Eastern side of Saint Paul. Most of those constituents in those areas are transplants from warmer places like Chicago, Northern Indiana, Missisippi, New Orleans and naturalized citizens from Somalia, Mexico and Laos.
Whenever the weather’s cold, they are nowhere to be seen. In fact, crime dips to a low in the colder months of the year in that area. And most of the crime there is committed by either transplants from those areas or their children who are conditioned by their parents that anything below 30 degrees is ice cold.
They will NOT show up if it’s too cold.
It could take an act of God, but we might be able to win if it’s too cold for the FIBs that inhabit the Upper Midwest.
Also, conservative voters tend to be more passionate voters and tend to be more familiar with how to deal with extreme weather, so bad weather in general in certain key areas of the country can turn this election to our side.
Which is the same method he is using to try to get elected.
Spread the wealth, ya know. ;-)
That is the absolute truth and the dims know it... their actions give them up.

Please keep me informed! Great news!!!

Don’t forget the Blue Dog Dems either
or the senior Dems (who in my opinion figured out the SS scare is just that after 2 elections). Most seniors these days realize 72 ain’t old.
The Boomers have come home to roost.
