Gallup Daily Tracking Poll Thread

[MODU]

How sad. With numbers like those we deserve to lose in November.

Seriously. Why even have a democratic party if democrats don't even vote democratic?

It's more of a case of them staying home than actually voting for McCain.  However, I can see where a few would (and do) cross the ticket.

[MODU]

Clinton: 54.2%
Obama: 43.9%

Essentially 11 pts..

10.3 points is closer to 10 than it is to 11.

But, Joe, it feels like 11.

It's against the law to feel 11's.

MOE is huge, but still, 3rd most cited reason given by people who least like Obama is that they think he's Muslim?

It's because they are ignorant

No kidding, but not unexpected.  I'm sure many of his flock are equally ignorant of his platform as well.  Many voters are just lambs after all.

It's very rare to find a politician that closely aligns to your views.  Reagan didn't.  Perot didn't.  Bush didn't.  Steve Adams doesn't.  Yet they covered a lot of the basic issues more so than their competitors, so I had/have no reservations for voting for them.  The Dems need to put a true Blue Dog on the ticket one of these years, just to get away from the Liberal and Populist pool which they keep fishing in if they really want to retake the nation.  But in order to do that, they have to get people interested in the details like the Republicans did back in the 80s, and so far, the Dems haven't been able to pull that off.  So, they are stuck with the lambs, hoping that they can get enough to follow long enough to win an election before they start asking questions.

Both Rassmusen and Gallop tracking polls show Obama overtaing McCain.  Should be interesting to see how that plays out.
