| Like me, you were probably scratching your head when Matt wrote about a "Rasmussen" poll showing McCain +4. What Rasmussen poll? Why, this one!
It has McCain with 50 percent and Obama with 46. Again, Ron Paul not part of the sampling, although the pollster did say, "Six percent (6%) of McCain voters might vote for a third-party candidate while Obama faces no such threat."
Okay, folks, here are the trends:
10/31 - Rasmussen: McCain 50, Obama 46 (McCain +4)
10/28 - Mason-Dixon: McCain 44, Obama 40 (McCain +4)
10/23 - MSU-B: McCain 40, Obama 44 (Obama +4)
10/19 - Research 2000: McCain 49, Obama 45 (McCain +4)
10/7 - ARG: McCain 50, Obama 45 (McCain +5)
10/1 - Rasmussen: McCain 52, Obama 44 (McCain +8)
9/23 - Research 2000: McCain 52, Obama 39 (McCain +13)
9/22 - CNN: McCain 49, Obama 40 (McCain +9)
Matt also noted that today's Rasmussen poll shows the youth vote going for McCain. Rasmussen lists Montana as a "tossup." Duh.
One thing this poll does tell us with some accuracy is that the Big Mo' is with Obama. |
