Tomorrow's headlines will be McCain crashes and burns. Meanwhile, the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows the race for the White House is tied once again. Barack Obama attracts 48% of the vote and so does John McCain

I'm not surprised. If people vote their feelings, nothing we can do about it.

People are stupid. They think the current crisis was caused by the “free market.” Barrack is stupid. He thinks the crisis was caused by “trickle-down economics.” They deserve eachother.

Sure. Obama’s economic policy: Free lunch, free beer for all. Only the rich must pay their share.

Partisanship has not significantly changed. Among registered voters 38 percent in this
poll identify themselves as Democrats, 28 percent as Republicans and 29 percent as
independents. That’s very similar to what it was in the last ABC/Post poll – 36-28-32
percent – the previous one, and indeed the average all year, 38-28-30 percent. What’s
changed, instead, is the preference among independents, one of those swing voter groups
to watch closely in the next 40 days.

METHODOLOGY – This ABC News/Washington Post poll was conducted by telephone
Sept. 19-22, 2008, among a random sample of 1,082 adults, including an oversample of
African Americans (weighted to their correct share of the national population), for a total
of 163 black respondents. Results among the 916 registered voters surveyed have a 3-
point error margin; among the 780 likely voters, 3.5-points. Sampling, data collection and
tabulation by TNS of Horsham, PA.

38% D, 28% R, the rest Independents....also stated that they “oversampled” blacks to better represent their percentage in the voting population ( I don’t have a clue as to what this means)....

Look at the dates the poll was taken 9/19-22. This is old news from last week when Obama got a bump from the economic news. That has pretty much dissipated, plus it’s an ABC/WP poll. 38% Dem, 28% Rep and 29% Ind????

The debates can’t get here fast enough. McCain needs to do well to shift the momentum back in his favor.

Is this supposed to be a national poll? Hilarious. Where do they get these numbers? Battleground has John McCain +1 and Rassmussen tie. This polling reminds me of the exit polling in 2004. LIES, LIES, LIES. I take Rasmussen’s polls seriously, most everyone else is posturing for Obama.

Exactly as the Democrats and RINO dupes have planned. Block drilling, drive up gas prices, squeeze the middle class. Block Wall Street reform, trash the economy, get the middle class all worried and pissed off, media helps to blame Republicans (never mind about Chris Dodd, Barack Obama and Barney Frank and their acceptance of BRIBES).

Too bad the Republicans are too weak and cowardly to fight back properly.

hey if most Americans think Obama is good for the economy by giving speeches and raising taxes then well...let them learn the hard way.
The smart ones will figure out how to save their money.

So there is a higher percentage of RATS in this poll than the last one, by two percentage points. And I dont believe that the spread is 10 pct points between the parties. Raz uses 5.5 pct points for likely voters (33.5% GOP, 39% RAT, rest indie).
