Rassmussen 10/8/08: Obama - 51%, McCain - 45% (+2 for McCain)
Dan:
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday shows Barack Obama attracting 51% of the vote while John McCain earns 45%. For the past thirteen days, Obama’s support has ranged from 50% to 52% while McCain has been at 44% of 45% every day. Results are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. The overwhelming majority of interviews for this morning’s update were conducted before the conclusion of last night’s Presidential debate.
Chaim Ben Pesach:
Other national polls also show McCain gaining in recent days:

The Reuters/Cspan poll: Obama leads 47% to 45% - a margin of only 2%;
Hotline/FD poll: Obama leads 45% to 44% - a margin of only 1%;
GW/Battleground poll: Obama leads 49% to 45% - a margin of 4%.
There are other polls that are worse, but in my opinion, McCain is gaining because of Sarah Palin's vigorous attacks on Barack Hussein Obama and his connections to the Communist terrorist William Ayers and his connections to "Reverend" Jeremiah Wright.
Unfortunately, McCain did not keep up the attacks in his debate last night. Big mistake. Those attacks are the only hope the McCain-Palin ticket have of winning. Let us hope and pray that the campaign continues to expose Obama.

Chaim, I sent various # of emails to Palins Office in AK- Also I called there, and left messages to ATTACK, & that when Hillary attacked she gained bigtime (like u said). I dont think people should flood her office, I just took a chance, & got a message through, I spent a better part of yesterday emailing her EVERYWHERE, & McCain as well. I dont know if I have done any good at all, but it was worth the try.

Lets hope that McCain continues to gain because the more I see of an Obama win the more I see we will be doomed here in America. McCain is just to polite to take Obama on directly and call him what he is. If McCain would have let it rip last night and called Obama out on key issues the increase in the polls may have been 5 or 6 points for McCain today. Lets hope Palin continues speaking out and her voice is enough to give the issue exposure.

thank you very much Chiam for providing this info. The Town Hall forum is where Sen. McCain is most comfortable. I enjoyed watching this debate because Obama behaved himself, although I did see him spit (i replayed this on my dvr w/muted sound 2 or 3 times, and I am sure i saw him spit pretty far LOL,) and although some say it was boring and the moderator wasn't very good, I enjoyed watching the debate. Obama didn't "stare down" Sen. McCain or make faces. He was pleasant. What i did notice is Sen. McCain shook hands with most of the audience members that asked a question, and Sen. Obama, did not shake hands :o thank you again for providing the polling info.
