Rasmussen Daily Tracker: Obama 50% (+1) McCain 45% (-1)

[malik flavors]

Friday, September 26, 2008

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows Barack Obama attracting 50% of the vote while John McCain earns 45%. This is Obama’s biggest lead since his convention bounce peaked with a six-point advantage. In fact, on only two days since clinching the Democratic nomination in early June has Obama enjoyed a lead bigger than he has today

It’s stunning to note how rapidly the dynamics of the campaign have changed. Two weeks ago, just before the Wall Street financial crunch became visible, McCain was up by three points in the aftermath of his convention. One week ago today, the candidates were even. Now, Obama’s lead is approaching new highs entering the final few weeks of the campaign.

Obama now leads by five among unaffiliated voters. Last week, the unaffiliated voters were leaning in McCain’s direction.

For most of Election 2008, McCain has attracted more support from Democrats than Obama earned from Republicans. That is no longer the case. Each man now attracts 12% of voters from the other political party.

McCain’s lead among white women is down to two-percentage points. This is a segment of the population that George W. Bush carried by eleven points four years ago.

1. Ignore this poll, it will be a tie in no time and RNCsmussen will say

McCain the comeback Kid. Continue working as if we were behind.

2. In a sane country, he'd have a 30 point lead.

But good news, nonetheless.

3. Obama is about to have an 11-point day drop off tomorrow... don't be surprised

when Rasmussen has Obama's lead down to 1 or 2 tomorrow.

7. Dude.... I got the rasmussen dailies..... Obama won Tues by 11... that drops off tomorrow...

Relax.


I'm just telling you. An 11 point day is being replaced by whatever happens in today's poll.

If it is less than 11 today, Obama's lead in the daily 3-day rolling average will drop.
