1. Whatever....Obama ahead!!!!!!!

[Teaser]

2. just a big polling day the other day for McCrap

that's all. Doesn't look like he built on it.

[WI_DEM]

3. four tracking polls: McCain ahead in 2 (Gallup narrowing), Obama in 2

so I would say overall it's a dead heat.

6. I Thought He's Only Ahead In Hotline And Tied In Newsweek

7. DKos' research2000 poll has O by a point

It's a great poll, as they release the crosstabs and the *daily* totals. Completely transparent.

8. TY

WHITE 57% 35% 3% 2% 1% 2%


This is disturbing...I don't think he can win with 35% of the white vote unless he gets over seventy percent of the Latino vote which would be extroadinary...

[Tutonic]

10. He will get the 70% of Latino and 98% of African American. I

wouldn't put too much stock in Rasmussen--they were wrong throughout the Primary. They can't seem to account for the Hsipanic and African American electorate.

[DavidDvorkin]

4. This could be seen as encouraging

At least it's not getting worse.

[Sugarcoated]

5. Obama always polls weaker on the weekend

so he may be closer than this poll suggests.

edit: typo

[DavidDvorkin]

9. We observed that during the primary

Implying that Rasmussen needs to modify their model to take weekend fluctuations in their sample into account.

[Kurt_and_Hunter]

11. Rasmussen published an analysis of the weekend effect on Ras. and Gallup. Found no such trend.

Don't blame the messenger. I am only noting that he did publish that.
