The race for the White House is tied. The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama and John McCain each attract 43% of the vote. When "leaners" are included, Obama holds a statistically insignificant 47% to 46% advantage. Today is the first time that McCains support has moved above 45% since Obama clinched the nomination on June 3. Its also the first time the candidates have been tied since Obama clinched the Democratic nomination (see recent daily results). Tracking Polls are released at 9:30 a.m. Eastern Time each day (see recent demographic highlights).
For most of the past month-and-a-half, Obama has led McCain by approximately five percentage points. It remains to be seen whether this recent tightening of the race reflects real change or is merely statistical noise. Check out our weekly reviewWhat They Told Usto see what was on voters minds this past week.
McCain is now viewed favorably by 56% of voters, Obama by 54%. Obama receives unfavorable reviews from 44% of voters while McCain is viewed unfavorably by 41%. McCain earns favorable ratings from 32% of Democrats while Obama is viewed favorably by 22% of Republicans. Among unaffiliated voters, McCain is viewed favorably by 58%, Obama by 54%.
From the “Magical Leave It to Beaver Show:”
The Beav: “Gosh, Wally, Obama really IS a Magic Negro. His magic cloak protects him for ALL accountability in the mainstream media re the horrible things that his pals have done or said.”
Wally: “Beav, Obama’s NOT magical; the MSM ignores everything bad re Obama. They treat Obama like the Second Coming. Of what. I know not.”
“whats he afraid of, he said hed meet anytime, anywhere didnt he?”
I think it was Jimmy Johnson, then-coach of the Miami Hurricanes, who said they’d play anyone, anywhere, anytime. At least JJ could back it up. :-)
Not really. You're stretching.
I am in the Chicagoland area, and it goes without saying that this is Democrat country. But, I’ll tell you this: There are a lot of Democrats who are fed up that Obambi is being shoved down their throats on a daily basis. A lot of Dems are turned off by all this shilling by the MSM, et als. Unfortunately, not enough will be turned off enough to vote against him, so Obambi still has a lock on Illinois and its electoral votes.
Can the Demoncraps convention HURRY UP AND GET HERE???? Sheesh!!! The faster we get Obama as the “official” candidate, the faster we can demolish him. Sheesh. This holding off on gas, taxes, spending, abortion, communism, associates, cronies, fraudulent real estate deals, etc is getting OLD!!!
