Poll... Mccaine ahead 2% in Zogby - Independants loved his 'stunt'
briann:
He is also now tied on the Gallup poll, AND the Rasmussen.
The very latest poll numbers from John Zogby put John McCain squarely ahead of Barack Obama at 46 percent to 44 percent, respectively.
McCain moved from three percentage points behind Obama to two points ahead of the democratic candidate in less than a week. One possible reason for the boost — McCain’s decision to forego politics as usual to focus on the current financial meltdown. The polling was conducted after McCain’s announcement that he would suspending his campaign.
Independent voters played a key role in the latest figures: McCain now leads with independents by nine points, 43 percent to 34 percent.

I know. Just focus on the main ones... as they are more accurate. The Gallup and Rassmusen are the most reliable. And they dont swing as wildly as the others. Zogby is good too.
And ignore the Washington Post... that uses 10% more dems in their 'sample'

as of 9-25 ...Rassmussen has Hussein up by 3 ...49-46
I like the Zogby poll better ....there is a fat 10 pct undecided.
I am sure its got Bradley effect in it ...
If the BailOut bill passes and Mccain is perceived to have played a roll in getting GOP votes - that would be a plus for Mccain

I opened up my Rasmussen Poll newsletter dated 9/25/08. This is what it said:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows Barack Obama attracting 49% of the vote while John McCain earns 46%. Other than the bounces related to his convention and speech in Berlin, this is the first time Obama has had 49% support on back-to-back days since early July.
Re Colorado:
This week in Colorado, it’s Barack Obama with a modest lead over John McCain.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds the Obama attracting 50% of the vote while McCain earns 47% (crosstabs available for Premium Members). A week ago, McCain had a two-point advantage. Over last four Colorado polls, each candidate has had a slight advantage twice and the two men have never been more than three percentage points apart.

Senator McCain leads Barack Obama 60% to 39% in Alabama, according to the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey of voters in the state.

Re North Carolina:
Barack Obama has a two-point advantage over John McCain in the traditionally Republican state of North Carolina.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Tar Heel State shows Obama attracting 49% of the vote while McCain earns 47%. A week ago, McCain held a three-point edge. This is the first time in eight Rasmussen Reports polls that Obama has held any kind of a lead in North Carolina, though the candidates were tied once as well.
The candidates have now been within three points of each other in six of the last seven polls. The sole exception came in August when McCain held a four-point advantage. Nationally, the race between Obama and McCain remains close in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
Ninety-four percent (94%) of Republicans and 11% of Democrats support McCain, while 85% of Democrats and six percent (6%) of GOP voters back Obama. Unaffiliated voters favor McCain by a whopping 70% to 28% margin (crosstabs available for Premium Members).
Part of the Democratic national strategy is to aggressively encourage turnout by African-American voters in the South because of Obama’s historic role as the first black presidential candidate of a major political party. Ninety-eight percent (98%) of black voters in Alabama support Obama, while 81% of whites favor McCain.
Re Maryland
Barack Obama is dominant in Maryland’s presidential race. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state finds the Democrat ahead of John McCain by a 60% to 37% margin.
This is the biggest lead the Democrat has held in the state this year. Last month, Obama led 53% to 41%. Maryland has cast its ten electoral votes for Democratic candidates in the last four elections.
This month, Obama leads 57% to 38% among unaffiliated voters in the Old Line State. He also leads McCain 52% to 36% among men and 58% to 37% among women (demographic crosstabs are available for Premium Members). Learn More..
Obama is viewed favorably by 67% of Maryland voters and unfavorably by 32%. McCain’s numbers are less flattering, with 48% who view him favorably and 51% who view him unfavorably.
Re Hawaii
Barack Obama is drawing big support in the state where he was born 47 years ago. The first Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in Hawaii shows Obama leading John McCain 68% to 27%.
The Democratic nominee leads 71% to 26% among unaffiliated voters in the state. He’s also ahead by over 30 points among both men and women.
