This isn’t good news for Barack Obama.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama attracting 46% of the vote while McCain earns 45%. When “leaners” are included, it’s Obama 49%, McCain 46%. …
As McCain has begun to chip away as Obama’s convention bounce, most of his gains have come among women voters. Obama still leads 51% to 44% among women, but that seven-point edge is just half the fourteen point lead he enjoyed last Tuesday. McCain leads by three among men, little changed in recent days.
Seventy-seven percent (77%) of Obama voters now say they are voting with enthusiasm for their candidate while 17% are primarily voting against the other candidate. For McCain, those numbers are 65% and 28% respectively. Before the Republican convention, just 54% of McCain voters were voting enthusiastically for him rather than simply voting against Obama.

Not only is Obama’s overall poll lead eroding, his lead among one of his key demographics is absolutely crumbling. Women and young voters make up the base of Obama’s support. Historically, campaigns dependent on young voters haven’t turned out well because while young voters are very good at showing up for rallies and such they’re usually not that great at showing up at the ballot box on election day. Women are a different matter, of course, but if McCain but grab a significant chunk of that demographic…Obama had better look out.
Which is an obvious point, if Oprah’s refusal to have Sarah Palin on her show tells us anything at all.
I don’t like the identity politics game. I don’t think anyone should be supporting Sarah Palin because she’s a woman (she has plenty of qualifications to win over our support without bringing her gender up). But that said, Sarah Palin has clearly struck a chord with women around this country and that may well give McCain the momentum he needs to beat Obama.

None of these polls are accurate! Nada…Zero!!! Ronald Reagan proved that!

I’m 55, lived in middle America in the Bible belt all my life, and I have never met a soul in this part of the country that has been contacted for a national poll, presidential or otherwise. So who are they polling, pray tell? It would interesting to have inside information on how they come up with these numbers.

Here’s a dirty little secret about Rasmussen (a Democrat, BTW).

Although Rasmussen himself has stated that democrats now have about a 5.5 point advantage over Republicans as to party affiliation, he is continuing to give them a 7.5 sampling advantage in his polling for this month.

So basically, he admits on his own website that his intentionally oversampling democrats.

P.S., Face it, as Rush said, you can’t trust any of these polls until about a week before the election. Until them, sample sizes and questions are created to follow the narrative of the group paying for the poll (in most cases, the MSM).

Only when the actual election gets close do they get honest with their sampling sizes because they don’t want to be embarrassed when the real numbers come in.

This is why we usually see such big swings to the right in the last few days – nothing has really changed, it is just the liberals pollsters cleaning up their numbers.

If the MSM can’t show Obama running away with this, they are better off by making it close with Obama slightly ahead to create interest. What you will notice though is that while McCain may pull even of slightly ahead, the MSM will NEVER allow pollsters to show him ahead by more than the margin of error.

Yeah, but his numbers are far more accurate than, say, Gallup.

The polls say!!!!!What a bunch of crap these polls are.If the truth be known McCain/Palin are up on Obama by at least 8!And that’s not even taking into account that said poll was taken before John McCain even spoke at the convention!But here’s the best indicator of polls and how they’re skewered to the left.Remember past elections, anyone?In every one of them the dems were ahead by anywhere from 15 to 26 points at this juncture and yet went on to lose in landslides in many of the contests.Look it up?Dukakas was up by 26 at this point on the republican challenger in the 88 election and lost in a landslide.Same with Carter/Reagan in 80.Jimmy The “Peanut Vendor” Carter was ahead by 20 points in that one and lost in a mudslide to Ronald Reagan.So, there you have it!Polls!!They’re not worth spit because it’s the MSM that pays for them no matter where they come from!It’ll be another landslide for the Republicans in 08.Mark my words and don’t be led by the nose like sheep by these Polls!They’re crooked!!All of them!
