The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows Barack Obama attracting 52% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. This is the highest level of support ever recorded for Obama and is his largest lead of the year. It also continues a remarkable twenty-five days in a row where the Democrat’s support has never declined by even a single point. The Democratic candidate has gained six full percentage points of support since Lehman Brothers collapsed to start the Wall Street mess ...

Look, that change was done a week ago. Yet, the tracker showed a 3% race on Saturday. Today it is at 7%, a 4% swing towards Obama. Look at the TRENDS even if you disagree with a polls’ party ID weighting.
Don't worry about that. When Obama gets in we'll all have oodles of time to Freep without worrying about workstuff.
P.S.- Love your tag line. I'm a Palinian too.
Rasmussen was strong in 2000 and 2004. He is hailed by Hannity as the most accurate pollster around.

The Early Line: Diageo/Hotline Tracking Poll
Obama/Biden 47%
McCain/Palin 41%
Undec 10%
- After closing in on Obama's lead yesterday, McCain has now taken the lead on handling of two key issues. The GOP nominee holds 43-42% leads over Obama on both the economy and energy policy -- McCain's first leads on handling of the economy since 9/10 and first on energy policy since 9/23.
- At the same time, McCain has his smallest advantage on handling nat'l security in the survey thus far. His 3% margin in today's release is just a fraction of his 21% lead one week ago (in the survey completed 9/28).
Today's Diageo/Hotline tracking poll, conducted 10/3-5 by FD, surveyed 909 LVs and has a margin of error of +/- 3.3%. Party ID Breakdown for the sample is 41%D, 36%R, 19%I.
So maybe we get crushed again. Should we bend over now or fight the bastards right up until election day?
Absolutely, but I just get nervous that our engergy is wasted on not believing the polls instead of getting out McCain’s economic plan which is severely needed right now as the dow continues to slide and slide well below 10,000 now...
It's really quite simple to understand. Poll Democrats 8 points higher than Republicans, ignoring that turnout in 2004 was 37% GOP, 37% Dem. Voila!! An Obama lead.
See tagline.
Work like we’re 1% behind because that’s probably closer to the truth.
Okay, then what about when Nixon lost to Kennedy?
Very good point! lol. Hey I hope Sarah does not have to worry at all and they get in there this election. Things are dismal right now and I am talking the economy. Unfortunately that is what they should be discussing as I believe if they can somehow get a message of what they will do to correct this mess then it would be even better than the Ayers thing they are doing now....OR DO BOTH.
...”Remember, polls showed Ronnie and Carter tied going into election day, and it wasn’t even close”...
I remember it well.
Wake up people. We’re in trouble. Our country is in trouble.
Be a denier all you want, but it won’t change the fact that Obama has a substantial lead.
What are you going to say in 2 weeks when he has a 10 pt. lead?
You won’t get much disagreement from me.
I am saving my kids from the democrap brainwashing.
Because evidence shows that in many of the battleground states Democratic voter registration far outdid Republican voter registration to the point where Democrats now hold a huge voter ID advantage in states like Florida and Ohio. now, many of these registered Democrats still vote Republican when it comes to the presidency, but this may be a down year for Republicans overall, as the Senate and House loss projections, even by Republican strategists, attest to.
In 2006 the voting records showed that Democrats had a 5.4% advantage in House voting and a 9.4% advantage in the Senate vote (popular votes.) That does not necessarily translate to more of the same in a presidential election year, but if the public continues to blame Republicans more than anyone else for the economic crisis, it is hard to see how it won’t be pretty bad all around on Nov. 4.
Yeah...I know he has a good reputation. Do you know if Rasmussen used the same polling technique of surveying more democrats over republicans in 2000 and 2004?
I’d like to think that Republicans don’t poll well on weekends and especially Sunday....that’s when we are in church praying for McCain to have the courage and will to blast Obama. And it looks like God is delivering. Yes. I believe polls will move our way by Wednesday...and start a new trend. McCain/Palin are not going to let up ONE day on Obama and he is going to be hit hard and swift. I cannot wait to see this debate on Tuesday. Obama is not good at stumping without his monitors and I have a feeling McCain is going to have ammunition ready to fire!!!
we live in a nation of idiots. You nailed it.
It is not looking good. Plus the dims cheat/lie and will damage our lives as we once knew it.
I will try to look it up.
Time is running out for McCain to recover. May be too late already.
