Simply put: WE ARE SCREWED

My name is grantcart and I am a widgetholic. Must have widget

If like me your day starts with a careful reading of the daily widget we have no choice to pretend that this is Thursday and hit the link and pretend its all new. While your there hit his mail box and leave a message about how you feel neglected and abandoned. How dare he go to work and conduct a weekend annual conference for the non profit he heads. What about us the widgetholics?

The last week and-a-half has brought plenty of discouraging news from around the nation for John McCain’s Presidential campaign and the latest polling from New Hampshire isn’t going to change that pattern. Barack Obama now enjoys a ten point lead in the Granite State.

The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in New Hampshire Obama attracting 53% of the vote while McCain earns 43%. This is the first time Obama has held a significant lead in the state since July and the first time he’s held a double digit lead since June. Polls in August and September showed the race to be a toss-up. In fact, less than two weeks ago, McCain was up by two points, 49% to 47%.

Obama is now viewed favorably by 60% of New Hampshire voters, McCain by 57%. Those figures reflect a six-point improvement for Obama and a three-point decline for McCain compared to the late September .

From Pollster.com


Yesterday's new polls, which of course were all fielded before last night's debate, continue to show evidence of the gains made by the Obama-Biden ticket over the last week. We logged 18 new statewide and 9 new national surveys. None produced a shift in status on our map, but most indicate a trend to Obama.

11 of the 12 new statewide tracking polls that updated results collected earlier in September showed movement in Obama's direction.
Our trend estimates improved slightly for Obama in 9 of 11 of the battleground states that we currently classify as either toss-up or leaning to one of the candidates




The Democrats also continue to show progress on national surveys. Three of the five daily tracking polls (from Gallup, Rasmussen and Battleground/GWU) clicked up for Obama yesterday, while two (Diageo/Hotline and Daily Kos/Research2000) were unchanged. In addition, we logged four new national surveys yesterday and all four showed slight increases for Obama and Biden. Our national trend chart showed Obama leading by 5.6 points as of this morning (49.2% to 43.6%), which is larger than an any previous margin shown by the trend-line during 2008.

1. I forgot Phrigndumass said he's going to be gone

I needed my previously analyzed polling data! I had to try and use 538.com (not updated yet) and electoral-vote.com (probably a waste of my time) to sate my hunger for polls, but it didn't work. Oh well...

Are you there, Widget? It's me, PermanentRevolution...
