Polls: Trending Obama

Gallup has Obama maintaining his three point edge, Rasmussen has Obama up by 2, a fairly big shift since yesterday's track showed them tied.

A FoxNews poll (not yet included in the RCP average) has Obama up by six -- and, oddly, McCain under 40%. They show it 45-39.

The Washington Post poll showing Obama up 52-43 had an interesting party split -- 54% Democrats, 38% Republicans (with leaners). My takeaway? Obama's underperforming even given this enormously favorable sample.

Whatever the actual numbers are, there's a genuine though possibly quite modest and evanscent trend towards Obama, and he's probably up by 3-4 points at the moment. Partly this is due to the official end of Palinmania, at least among swinging voters, thanks the media's relentless 3 week campaign against her, and partly this is due to the economy, and the public's uninformed guess that any time there's some problem with Wall Street or finance, it must be because of the Republicans helping out their buddies.

They couldn't be more wrong, of course. The election will be won or lost based on McCain's effectiveness at reversing that built-in narrative.

Official Obama Campaign Website The New York Timesblog realizes this, of course, and is claiming that Rick Davis was paid by Freddie and Fannie to lobby for them through last month, an allegation the McCain campaign denies in the strongest terms.

Meanwhile, the New York Timesblog has never heard of Penny Pritizker, the Michael Milken of Subprime Mortgages, and Obama's National Finance Chair.

Nor have their world-class blog-on-paper posters (almost as good as the posters at the Huffington Post) stumbled upon the well-kept secret that Fannie and Freddie donated hugely to Democrats.

Incidentally, I don't know why McCain agreed to allow Friday's debate to shift from the economic agenda scheduled to the foreign policy agenda it will now explore. Seems like a huge error to agree to that change. He needs to reverse uninformed public opinion on this, and he gave up his highest-profile near-term chance to do so.

1 and the public's uninformed guess that any time there's some problem with Wall Street or finance, it must be because of the Republicans helping out their buddies.

Probably why McCain has been pushing the "wall street greed" meme so hard.

Anyways, things look pretty grim right now. The state polls seem to be tighter though.

3 I just can't get too concerned about it.  So many variables will skew polls one way or the other, losing sleep over them is just a waste and shouldn't affect our actions anyway.

If McCain was up in the polls, would you lessen your efforts to push his side?  Rest on your laurels?  I wouldn't, and I doubt you would either.

FIDO.

I've been wondering for awhile when he was going to offer a rebuttal to the Democrat/MSM storyline. Not exactly a quick-footed war room at McCain HQ.

lorien 1973 was right...McCain came out trying to kiss up, 2000 style, with his media friendly greed-bashing schtick. Didn't work. Worked when you were compared to conservative Republicans. But you can't out Oliver Stone a liberal. Can't do it.

He blew a solid week on that storyline and it might cost him the election.

Obub is getting a bounce because of bad economic news. If the economy stabilizes between now and Nov, the bounce will go away. The election will still be fought state by state, not nationally. I would LOVE to see Obub win popular vote, and lose the electoral college by a skinny cat's shrivelled whisker.

Protein Wisdom reports: 

As I noted in an update last evening would almost certainly be the case, the media today is pushing the story that the firm owned by McCain’s campaign manager, Rick Davis, lobbied for Freddie and Fannie Mac — all while continuing to ignore exploring, at any length, Sen Barack Obama’s actual ties to those closely related to the current economic meltdown. Not only that, but the Davis-as-tied-to-crisis story is disputed by the McCain campaign — which alleges that the NYT has reported in bad faith, and that public records back up the campaign’s claims that Mr Davis cut ties to his firm in 2006, and that he never lobbied Freddie or Fannie Mac (and in fact, hasn’t been a registered lobbyist since 2005).

All of which, I suppose, is not surprising; after all, the media seems to think that the Sen from Illinois is running against everyone but Senator McCain, from the Gov. of Alaska to a campaign manager, and so their function has been to try to dirty them and hope that as the stories accrue, the public is left with a certain impression crafted by their reporting, while the facts that undercut this impression will ultimately only be “corrected” in the back pages of the paper, if at all.

So, W is going on the air tonight.  He better have an airtight history of his attempts to fix fannie mae/freddy mac or else this election is lost.

I think this would be the worst possible outcome. The only thing it's good for is ratcheting up the bitterness and rancor among the Dems to maximum levels, and of course we'll have to hear endless repetitions of the "we wuz robbed" meme for the next 4 or 8 years. If McCain wins a not-even-close election, the bitterness and rancor will still be there, but not nearly as bad, and any claims of electoral theft will not be taken seriously, even by partisan hack media outlets like the NY Times.

Re: the debates- it could work out.  National security is McCain's strongest suit and Obama's weakest, so a strong victory could cripple the other campaign.  That leaves some time for the bailout to be discussed and/or voted on, the issue to settle down, and McCain to have a solid answer/response/plan.

Yeah, I'm pinning my hopes on the debates, but McCain and Pailin will be stronger in them than Obama and Biden, and if they don't make the trends break for the Republicans, nothing will.

Bush isn't good enough at speeches to make the case for anything. That's been his problem since 2000. He got a little better after 9/11, but Bush's complete inability to put a decent soundbite together (uh, um, ah) hurt him for 8 years. And him trying to work with democrats on everything made it even worse.

But what's that got to do with Santorum?  What comfort can there be in suggesting this is only because of Bush if it takes down bona fide conservatives running as such like Santorum?

Maybe it is anti-Bush, but it took down Santorum, and it shouldn't have, if Rush's conventional wisdom were still reliable.

The most reliable poll, the Battleground Poll, currently has Mccain up by 2:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/RCP_PDF/BG_2-way-ballot-trender.pdf

Agree with your overall analysis, though.  We have to keep working.  Many of us post and opine here.  In light of weakening poll numbers for McCain/Palin, the legacy media suppressing any positive information about the GOP while obviously touting the Obama/Biden ticket and hiding the flaws and failures of the Democrat candidates, and the consquences of having a purely liberal Democrat White House and Senate, we need to do more than opine.  We need to act, to the best of our abilities.

I know many of us here have donated, and many are involved in grassroots operations.  However, those of us who are in deep blue territory might be able to assist in the battle gound states.  Reaching out to undecided voters in these state is vital to spreading the word that John Mccain and Governor Sarah Palin are the right choice for America.

I am signing up for the phone bank, which can be done through here:

The inspiration comes from the PUMAs, who are now in the process of making calls to Michigan and Colorado, to push-back on the swarm of Obamabots deluging voters of those states.

58 I'm beginning to think that all the movement back and forth in these polls can be explained by people being polled so much that some change who they say they are going to vote for out of sheer boredom.

There is too much polling this year and too many people who simply won't participate in them, mostly conservative. I think they are probably pretty worthless.
It would be interesting to find out how many calls each poll had to make just to find the number they needed to answer. I'll bet there are entire sections of states they are unable to even get 1 or 2 people to participate in the poll.

They had one window, and that was building on the Palin buzz after the convention.  They blew it by hiding her and reinforcing the meme (sorry Tush) that she wasn't ready for primetime.  Even I am starting to wonder that.  Let her loose, go down fighting. 

Mac's down by 5 to 7 points right now, if he falls back further, it may be the point of no return.  Bradley, sample weights, vaunted Rove ground game it's mostly BS and will not be able to overcome a 5-10 deficit.

On being down in the Polls:  Fighting the Obama Zombie Horde was hopeless to begin with and continues to remain that way.  You knew that when you opted in with Team McCain.  So no crying as things turn black (racist!).

Hell, remember how grim it was right before Palin's convention speech?  O's bounce in full swing and MSM and Obamam Astroturfing attacks in full force.

And yet Team McCain was not crushed then and we are not lost now.

I think the news is worse than you realize. I think Americans are generally well aware of Democrat tie-ins with the financial crisis; but I also think they like Obama's policies and views. In other words: I don't think the lack of support for McCain is due to ignorance of Obama's policies and such, in the sense that "if only we conservatives get the truth out, those swing voters (among others) will support McCain"; I think they support Obama because they agree with Obama.

And that's very bad news indeed.

If we have reached that point, kiss the constitution and the republican form of government goodbye. Next stop: centralization, the tyranny of mediocrity, and the dominance of demagoguery. At that point, the electorate is effectively out of the political process and "those who know best" step in.

Casey is the epitome of the empty-suit politician, but his family is popular in PA, which is why he won so big.

They had one window, and that was building on the Palin buzz after the convention.  They blew it by hiding her and reinforcing the meme (sorry Tush) that she wasn't ready for primetime.  Even I am starting to wonder that.  Let her loose, go down fighting. 

I agree 100%.  Why the hell didn't they get her out there, instead of letting the media define her?  Stupid!

While Tushar was busy trying to survive on Wall Street, NRO was stealing his lines. Have they no shame?

77 To the Bush sucks and therefore he shouldn't get involved idea.  Fine, give up.  This is a lack of initiative that lets the DNC set the debate on their terms.  It is extremely bad strategery and will cost the RNC hugely.  Now, the rest of the country thinks that he is hiding because it is his fault.  It is a losing strategy.  The facts are so largely in our favor that simply by making them on the air would force the networks to at least consider them.  Secondly, his polls numbers are better than many members of Congress so he can at least be buoyed by that.

80 Geez people! There's a ways to go yet. Just hang on and stop freakin' everytime the dems have a little surge. Neither party has won a presidential election by a lot in decades and I see no reason this one won't be close as well. A lot of panic in this thread...

STOP YOUR BITCHING!!!!!

The Debates are the first SOLID measure.  announcements and conventions are one sided.

LET the media bitch about "press conferences."  I would like to know the last time they bitched about press conferences.   OH it was DONALD RUMSFELD!"  Before that?  it was bush.

Before that?  no clue, I know clinton gave a speach, looked the nation in the eyes and lied, before that. . .

before that?

85 Can the McCain campaign please do something to indicate that they want to win this race?  Should I donate time or money?  Should I de-invest myself intellectually and just prepare for the worst presidency since at least Jimmy Carter?

I don't give a hoot what the polls say.  My leftist neighbors aren't displaying Obama signs, saying they'll stay at home.  At the gym no one mentions the annointed one but everyone speaks about Palin.  The same at various stores.

 

Dhimmierat activists get sent away when they ask who are you supporting looking all dejected, apparently they are used to this in Virginia.  I can only say I remember what the polls said in 1980, 1984 and 1994.

 

I also doubt we'd be seeing all these articles about bitter, racists in battlefield states or how there will be a race war if Obama doesn't win, if the annointed one is ahead.

 

I only hope one of these polling geniuses will put his money where his mouth is, but then I forget, all these races are within the margin of error, just like 1980, 1984, and 1994.

 

These chumps are so pathetic.

Can not find sites on the: Washington mutual bank locations. I found only this - trading post cars. If the car has been stolen or is under finance, you might lose it along with your money to the previous owner or the previous finance company. It used to be that if you had just one late payment on your credit bureau, that you would. Thanks for the help , Nevada from Republic.
