Rasmussen Tracking Poll [Obama vs McCain]

[Sbane]

Damn why you guys hatin' on walmart. When I need cheap sh**t that's exactly where I go. Or target...same sh**t.

The funniest thing just happened. My father began his sentence "Let me tell you...that f***ing Wal-Mart is amazing"...and went on to say that "I bought you a candy bar and picked up Hot Dogs and buns...the hot dogs and buns cost less than the candy bar."

$0.57 cents for a pack of eight hot dogs...that costs less than a milk chocolate Hershey bar.

Damn stuff must be cheap out in Ohio. I don't know what you guys complain about so much.

Yup.

That said, Costco pwns Wal-Mart, for many reasons, one being that zoning laws mean that there are only two Wal-Marts within half an hour driving.

Yes for a family Costco is the obvious place to go. And you get free lunch to boot. For single people target or walmart is better.

Sam Spade, do you know what states besides New Mexico will be released today ?

I know I'm not Sam Spade but I'll answer anyway.

5:00 p.m. Eastern:       Kansas President
5:00 p.m. Eastern:       New Mexico President
5:00 p.m. Eastern:       Massachusetts President
5:00 p.m. Eastern:       Illinois President

Kansas,Massachusetts and Illinois? This has to be the most pointless day of polling.

It seems like Mccain gained a little support while Obama stayed where he is. Considering he is at 50, I am not too worried. Anyone who thinks a black man ,who is being portrayed as a terrorist, will win by more than 5 points in America, needs to stop dreaming.

Given today's numbers... unless Powell endorses McCain, we are going to be hurting as a country.

Why the doom and gloom? Today's numbers are the same as yesterday. I still think we're scrwed either way.

Powell is going to endorse Obama tomorrow on MTP.  Did you really think a black guy would not endorse another black guy?

I've just lost faith in the public the make the right decision.

Hmm you do realize most of the problems of the last 8 years have been caused by a republican, right? Why not give the democrats a chance? Especially considering the republican nominee wants to continue the failed policies of the current administration.

I'm not an idiot. Even, if I did support Obama on policy (which I don't), I would not support his corruption. People are also going from one extreme to another to make up for the previous extreme.

The republic is failing.

Fair enough. I just don't think Obama is going to be that much of an extremist in his governing. He needs to get re-elected in 2012 and will probably pursue centrist ideas. I have not seen a huge amount of corruption in Obama but he certainly is not faultless. He is about as corrupt as Mccain so that is definitely not a reason to vote against him. Plus we need to get away from republican ideas of foreign policy. I understand why republicans and libertarians would be wary of an economy run by a democrat, but I am much more scared of a foreign policy run by a republican. A lot of our problems today can be linked to Iraq. Although not invading them might would not mean there would be no subprime crisis, we might still have money to pay for the crisis. If we had not lowered taxes on the people who could most afford it, we would not have to borrow money from China to spend in Iraq and now Wall street. If we had pursued concrete alternative energy solutions under this administration we wouldn't be borrowing so much money from Asia to transfer it to the middle east. So I don't see why democrats scare you so much considering what has occured in the last 8 years.

An african american vs. hispanic riff has been long-founded, just as you see the racism riff in areas of Alabama, Kentucky, ect. Obama is not as good a candidate for Hispanics as McCain is.

Agreed. I, as a proud Latino, decided to support John McCain (only because of how terrible Obama was/is).

But was it because you don't like Blacks due to tensions between that community and yours, as naso implies, or was it due to your preference of Mccain's policies to Obama's? I somehow doubt it was the former and this is why Obama got such a high percentage amongst latinos (most aren't conservative like you).
