Rasmussen Tracking Poll [Obama vs McCain]

[Josh/Devilman88]

Well, I don't think we will see the real bump in Obama numbers until Hilliary drops out and backs him.

[Josh/Devilman88]

An african american vs. hispanic riff has been long-founded, just as you see the racism riff in areas of Alabama, Kentucky, ect. Obama is not as good a candidate for Hispanics as McCain is.

Are you saying you think McCain will win the Hispanic vote?

Unsure. I think he'll do well better than Bush. After all, "McCain is for amnesty", right?

But isn't Obama for it too? I'm not to sure, that is an subject I don't look into to much.

[Josh/Devilman88]

OBAMA SURGING TO AN INSURMOUNTABLE NATIONAL LEAD!

Yeah, and, when this poll was taken, Obama hadn't even won the primary/been endorsed by Clinton/united the party yet.

Hahaha, your candidate is pathetic.

It's hilarious that you think the members of your party are so stupid and starstruck that they'll walk hand in hand to support Obama because Hillary says so. Yes, most of them will, but it's not going to be 100% or even 90%.

Well the last PPP poll done, they said if he could get 80% of the Clinton supports he would be ahead in NC by 3%, so Obama doesn't need 100% or even 90%. Just 80%

[Josh/Devilman88]

Alaska is going to be within a few points (3 at most, 1 at least, if what I'm hearing is correct - probably McCain +2)

I agree, and ME will be Obama by 10% or more and Ohio will be around 9% Obama.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Maybe the beginnings of a slight bounce from the Middle East/Europe trip?

Well, according to Rasmussen:

In last night’s polling, 50% had already seen coverage of Obama’s Berlin speech. Initial reactions to the speech will be reported at 10:30 a.m. Eastern today.

Well, it look like people liked it by the polls, but Rasy is funny and may show people hated it so they can get on Fox News again.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Yay, Rasy isn't completely bias, as some might say.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Haha, thats funny, I can't wait until after Aug. Also Obama I believe that Obama will tell us this week who his VP is, in hopes that it will bump his numbers.

[Josh/Devilman88]

It's early August.

The fact that Obama is only at 47% favorable amongst indies isn't good.  Especially interesting in light of all the tongue baths he has gotten from the MSM.

Again though, it's only August.  People aren't tuned in yet and won't be until after the conventions.

Plus this election cycle Rasy has had a slight lean toward the GOP. The only thing we really know is it is close for now... Thanks to the slimball McCain and his attack ads he said he wouldn't do. Ah gotta love them Republicans.

When did McCain say he wouldn't run negative ads?  I believe he said he would run a "civil" campaign.  That Democrats think a stupid ad comparing Obama to Britney Spears and Paris Hilton is "horrible" and "appalling" just shows how much it gets under their skin.

In fact, I would say that Obama, pulling the race card, is the real "slimeball".

Anyway, even if McCain said he wouldn't run any negative ads (btw, these ads are hardly negative.  Have you people been living under a rock?) - Obama also pledged to take public financing in the general.  He lied.  Tit for tat.  Only your tit is greater than our tat.

How did Obama pull the race card? What he said was ture and has already happen! The fact is McCain said he wouldn't pull the same crap Bush did to him in 2000, but yet he is. And what makes me upset is he is getting away with it. He lies and the media don't talk about it, but if Obama makes one mistake its all over the news. If America wants this country to be more ed up then it is already at then fine go ahead and vote that loser in. But mark my words, if McCain does win, America at the end of his term(if he lives that long) will no longer be a world power.

What evidence do you have for that?  I'm not trying to pin you down, I'm just curious.

Compaired with other national polls Rasy has always been more friendly to McCain, but I did say slight lean.

[Josh/Devilman88]

I'm sorry, but that is bull, and people ask me why I say Rasmussen is lean toward the republicans.

[Josh/Devilman88]

I'm sorry, but that is bull, and people ask me why I say Rasmussen is lean toward the republicans.

Absolutely! Obama is supposed to be ahead, and anyone who says otherwise is run by Republicans!

McCain has no chance.

Sure w/e, I just want to say American are stupid asses if the vote McCain in. We will have another 4 years of the same failed Bush ways. God, are Americans that f-ing stupid.

[Josh/Devilman88]

I'm as upset about the numbers as you are, but I don't see how there's supposed to be anything wrong with the poll.

I know, I'm just over reacting

[Josh/Devilman88]

This isn't a good sign for McCain, in 2004 this is when Bush moved ahead of Kerry.

[Josh/Devilman88]

We will not see any bounce until after Clinton speack tonight..

[Josh/Devilman88]

We will not see any bounce until after Clinton speack tonight..

True....but which way?!?

Anyhow the Clinton speech probably will not be seen until Thursday's, more likely Friday's poll.

Yea tell me about it, but I hope Clinton don't srew the Democratic party over tonight.

[Josh/Devilman88]

No convention bounce yet, that polling probably was conducted before the convention started.

There should have been a slight bounce from naming a Veep.

Not really, alot of people don't know who Joe Biden is, unless you live in DE/PA or a political jukie..

[Josh/Devilman88]

lol, no veep bounce. clinton supporters waited probably that HRC would be nominated and are angry. Obama, you can still change! Obama, the VP change we can believe in!!!!!!!

Turst me if Obama would have picked Clinton as VP he would have lost more voters then he would have gained.

[Josh/Devilman88]

If McCain is still tied or ahead after Sat then Obama is going to have a hard time winning.

[Josh/Devilman88]

How's the 3rd most liberal member of the senate and plagarizer as veep doin' for ya?   "Houston, we have a problem."

LMAO!

You do know it is still summer, and alot of people still arent that much into the race yet. Also I believe this McCain bounce is fake, due to the crazy Hilliary fans saying they will vote for McCain in the polls. Trust me come Friday Obama will be back up by a few points.

[Josh/Devilman88]

People are buy way to much in this polls, once both conventions are held that is when the true numbers come out.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Like I have said, wait until this week end, Obama numbers will be shocking different.

[Josh/Devilman88]

We can say:

1) no VP bounce for Obama but for Mc Cain (who have predicted that ?)

2) we are waiting for convention bounce.

Problem for Obama is that the VP will stay to the end, the hypotetical bounce convention will be out in one week.

We don't know if McCain wil get a VP bounce, He hasn't picked his yet.

Biden VP was a bounce for Mc Cain. But Obama is lucky, convention is there.

Like I have said before that McCain bounces isn't real. It is them crazy Hillary people who get upset when their Hillary wasn't on the ticket. Gallup already show that bounce for McCain gone, Rasy will be gone soon too.

[Josh/Devilman88]

Nice.. Tomorrow will be even better.
