Rasmussen Tracking Poll [Obama vs McCain]

[Iosif]

Rasmussen has been hugely stable.  It doesn't swing a lot.  There is no midweek/weekend bounce. 

Right now, it is a tie.

Mensa are so lucky to have you as a memeber.

Yes, and very fortunately, you cannot get it.

You mean, he "cannot get in"?

No, double meaning.

Please, Gustav, he's helping to illustrate a point. 

You're a retard.

There's only one meaning in that.

Look, "Iosif", I don't know who you are but that's not a very constructive attitude. If you have a disagreement with JJ or want to criticize something he said, do it. But don't just call someone a retard.

Wrong on both counts, unless you are looking in a mirror, then it's only wrong on one count.

Friday - September 12, 2008:

General: Head-to-Head

McCain: 48% / 49%, including leaners (+2, +1)
Obama: 45% / 46%, including leaners (-1, -2)

Favorability

McCain: 56% favorable, 42% unfavorable (nc, -1)
Obama: 55% favorable, 44% unfavorable (nc, +1)

It is unusual to find a three-point jump in one day on the tracking poll. Daily tracking results are collected via nightly telephone surveys and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. Today’s gain for McCain comes partly from a good night of polling last night and partly from the fact that a good night for Obama on Monday is no longer part of the sample.

McCain leads by fourteen points among men while Obama holds an eight point advantage among women. Obama has the edge among voters under 40 while McCain leads among older voters.

Today, at noon Eastern, new Presidential polling data will be released for Missouri.

Them are very good numbers for Sen. McCain, lets hope Sen. Obama doesn't get a weekend bounce in the polls.

A Democrat trailing in the polls to an 80-year-old man who farts mummy dust after 8 years of GOP in the WH....in this supposed "Democratic year".     I guess American voters are some pretty racist mofos.

Obama 08 = Dukakis 88.

Sen. McCain is 73 years old and in today's world people are living well into there 90s. Also Sen. McCain is nothing like Pres. Bush, unlike Pres. Bush, Sen. McCain has a record of working with Democrats to get things done. Sen. Obama just has empty words of Hope and Change, which the American people are starting to see right through them.

[mypalfish]

or maybe the piggy with the lipstick controversy is having an impact?  i wouldn't think so, but if the gallup numbers show any movement towards mccain...

[Ronnie]

I don't know if it's just me, but I have a very bad feeling about the debates.

I have a bad feeling for Sen. Obama.

[Bay Ridge, Bklyn! Born and Bred]

The debates won't hardly mean jack squat, since most people will watch them with already preconceived notions.
 
Didn't Kerry "win" all the debates against Bush 4 years ago?  A lot of good that did him.

lol... well congrats on fabulous media spin.

Take and old saying and somehow turn it into a sexist comment. It's remarkable - the Reps are the ones playing the politics of political correctness.

One, this is too late to be a post convention bounce.

Two, the 'bots are fairly stable and don't have midweek bounce.

This is either a bad sample, or McCain is opening up a lead.  If it's a bad sample, we'll know by Monday, if not sooner.

Well, in the forty years that Democrats had control of congress it was nothing but constant attacks on Republicans. Republicans never had teeth in all those long years of a Democratic congress. Can you really blame the GOP for picking up the strategy that worked so well for the Dems for over forty years? A person can only take so many punches to the gut before they come out swinging. And I for one, applaud it. If the strategy is a winning one, why not use it?

no, Wednesday was just bad high sample for Obama.  All of us Christians were at Wednesday night service handling snakes.  But Thursday night, those of us who survived the snake bites were back home.

I actually think something like that might explain Gallup. 

I'll concede that there might have been a really pro-Obama sample earlier in the week.

I'd expect Obama to get a bump in the polls due to the hurricane coverage. Every time Obama is out of the spotlight his numbers rise.

I think Sen. McCain wil get a bump in the polls due to the Ike. Why you ask? Well, gas prices, Sen. McCain wants to drill off-shore and most Americans do, Sen. Obama doesn't want to.
