Obama's lead in Ras' tracker is now at 6 points (from 5 pts yday and 1 pt a week ago). Since Rasmussen fixes the party ID breakdown at D +5.5, McCain must be trailing with the independents now.
Imo, the only thing which can make it close is a stock market recovery in October. Probably bailout-induced.

“Since Labor Day, the media have released about 20 polls on the presidential race. Three show a dead heat, one shows George W. Bush leading by a single percentage point, and the rest show Al Gore leading by one to 10 points. In the latest polls, Gore leads by an average of five points.”
Well, I guess that’s the end of that. It’s official. This country is out of their d @ m n minds.
O+11, M+1, O+6, O+10, M+5
Obama 49.81% (49.95%/49.47%/49.40%/48.07%/48.16%)
McCain 44.37% (45.16%/45.96%/46.56%/47.79%/46.81%)
McCain actually won two of the previous 4 day samples, but by smaller margins than the Obama days. The rolling three day average is O+11, M+1, O+6.
Polling is all over the place people. I'm starting to think that these tracking polls are not a good idea.
Keep in mind that all of this polling was pre-debate. Will know the first post-debate sample tomorrow. Problem is, today is Saturday. McCain does better midweek than on weekends.
” I keep hearing supposed independents this morning and after the debates say sh!t like “All McCain did was talk about the past and what he has done and where he has been...very serious...Obama talked about the future and was hopeful...he spoke to me about the issues I cared about”
As I said last night...I love my country to death. But I loathe a majority of the people that reside in it today.”
If you are referring to FRank “ I can’t keep my toupe on straight “ Lunz’s group I think we need to read a little further into that group. They were not true independents, as he identified them as backing Bush/Kerry last time.
Also, his summary was based on 1 older females verbal response.
Look at the 2 clips he shows. On one McCain draws an equal dem/rep response, and on the strong one for Obama, the difference is 6 points, hardly a blowout, and it’s on a topic ( John you were wrong on Afghan ) that in my opinion McCain cleaned his clock on.....
P.s. Wonder how you can be against a war, and then support a war in Afghan ????? seem s to me you built your rep on being Anti War............
I was talking to the idea that the debate was going to be that important
I don’t want a disease so Ir eject your invitation to bite you
Yet Code Pink is raising tons of cash for him...aren’t they all anti-war? Shouldn’t they be showing up at Obama rallies now across the country? Ditto if he becomes President? How come they didn’t interrupt the DNC convention?
TOTAL SCAM
I guess it comes down to their seeing they can get something from him that McCain won’t give them, so they will compromise on everything else.
now it’s 37 days left, and Obama leads by 4.3
leads closer to election are more meaningful, of course
That's because they voted last time. The only true independents, by your definition, would have to be either non-voters or third-party supporters.
” That’s because they voted last time. The only true independents, by your definition, would have to be either non-voters or third-party supporters.”
Agree with your assessment, but based my comments on their verbal responses. They certainly sounded like party line voters to me not someone who was being independent............
Maybe you have another view of that if you saw the same segment. Would be interested in your take.
Also I didn’t think Lunz did a good job of letting them state I am registered independent, and after watching I’m now voting Dem/Rep
Where do you come up with crap like that???
I honestly felt that zero cleaned his clock... In almost every respect, not even close
I thought it was one more POTUS debate
BINGO! Not fighting back, for 8 years, has destroyed him, the GOP and conservatives.
Watched it again. Agreed. The Dems seemed liked Dems and the Pubs seemed like Pubs.
oops sorry I thought you were talking about the palin marriage topic...my bad!
Nope-just questioned the Gore/Bush numbers. Have a good day
