RASMUSSEN POLL: McCain Now Leads By Double Digits
2008-03-20
This is getting interesting, the more Shrillary and Bam-bam talk, the less people dig what they have to say.
The double-digit lead won't last but it certainly forces the Dhimmicrats to move to a different set of talking points. Much snippage applied.
Daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday, March 20, 2008

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows John McCainÂ’s lead growing against both potential Democratic opponents. McCain currently leads Barack Obama 49% to 42% and Hillary Clinton 51% to 41% margin (see recent daily results). African-American support for Clinton has collapsed, falling to 55% in the general election match-up. Obama, on the other hand, earns solid support from African-American voters but attracts only 36% of white voters in a match-up with McCain.
So black voters prefer McCain to Clinton, and white voters prefer McCain to Obama. I think both groups are right!
Over the past month, McCain has gained ground in Ohio, Michigan, Colorado, New Hampshire, and Pennsylvania. Both Democrats continue to lead in New York, Massachusetts, Connecticut and California.

On the fifth anniversary of the War in Iraq, the candidates except Shrillary all had something to say on the topic but the politics of the issue have become much more complicated.

In the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination, Obama now leads Clinton 46% to 43%. Before the story broke about his former Pastor, Obama led by eight. New polling data released today shows that Clinton leads handily in West VirginiaÂ’s Presidential Primary.

On Thursday, Barack Obama’s favorable ratings are unchanged for the third straight day—48% favorable, 49% unfavorable. McCain is viewed favorably by 53% of voters nationwide and unfavorably by 43%. For Clinton, those numbers are 43% favorable, 55% unfavorable (see recent daily results).
No politican, I repeat no politican, can get elected with a negative rating that high.
The Rasmussen Reports Democrats Balance of Power Calculator shows Democrats leading in states with 210 Electoral Votes while the GOP has the advantage in states with 189. When “leaners” are added, the Democrats lead 247 to 229. Recent polling shows that, over the past month, New poll results released today show both Democrats leading in Massachusetts (see summary of recent state general election polling).

Rasmussen Markets data now give Obama a 73.5 % chance to win the Democratic nomination while expectations for a Clinton victory are at 25.9 %. Market data also suggests that Obama has a 43.0 % chance to become the next President. Expectations for McCain to become President are at 41.0 % while ClintonÂ’s prospects are at 16.4 %.
Heh. Say goodbye to the Hildebeast.

#3  Apparantly that whole vetting process servers a useful purpose. Yes having an unknown looks good initially but it can tend to blow up in your face at the worst time. Good to remember Dems.

#2  Donks: as you'd know if you read Rantburg regularly, John Wayne once said "Life is tough; it's tougher if you're stupid."

You're stupid. And apparently stuck there.

#1  It's no wonder. The donks are self destructing.
