The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows that John McCain continues to hold a very modest lead against both potential Democratic challengers. In a general election match-up, McCain now leads Barack Obama 46% to 44% and Hillary Clinton 48% to 44%. McCain has led both Democrats on each night of individual tracking since the controversial New York Times article on McCain was released earlier this week (see recent daily results and summary of recent state general election polls).
The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator shows Democrats with a 284 to 229 lead in the Electoral College. If “leaners” are not included, the Democrats lead 238 to 189. Since yesterday, North Carolina has shifted from Safe Republican to Likely Republican while Wisconsin has shifted from Likely Democrat to Leans Democrat. New polling has been released today for Wisconsin and New Mexico. The Balance of Power Calculator determines projections by aggregating a variety of information from many sources including polls, the Rasmussen Markets, analyst assessments and more (see summary of recent state general election polling).

“This is the same crowd that thought we should teach the RNC a lesson by staying home in 2006 ! Now we have Nancy and Harry and they want to add Osama with a veto proof majority !”
i am with you
these stay at home cry babies will be the first to complain when Pres Obama defeats our military, appoints Karl Marx to the SCOTUS and bans our guns
Last year at this time Rudy was beating Hillary by a nose.
Long term polls are meaningless. Wait until the end of September.
Whaaaaaaaa Whaaaaaa...I didn’t get my guy past the primaries so I’m going to say the meanest things I can think of about the others! Whaaaaaaaaaa
Get a clue and start to fight for the best shot we have at saving the unborn and replacing SC judges.
Hey there is a perfect irony in lord McCain NOT following his own marching orders and having his best friends the liberals call him on it.
I have yet to be convinced that lord McCain will president any differently than he has legislated in the unholy bowels of the Senate. There is only one thing that will guide and direct how lord McCain leads, guard rails placed upon him in the Congress.... So I will be 'voting' for Constitutional Conservative thinking congressional leadership.
McCain unfortunately our only viable candidate.
All the companies that hire illegals must love him !
Actually I live in such a hopelessly blue state that my vote for President doesn’t really matter.
Do I wish the nominee were anyone but McCain? Absolutely.
Would I love the convention to pick another more viable and conservative candidate? Without a doubt.
Look at the current Free Republic poll. It shows 62.5% for McAain.
I made this post up from thin air and got the number right on the money.
I agree. They are designed to influence attitudes more than measure them.
I said I wouldn’t but if its him vs a witch in a headscarf or that insurgent messiah.......

McCain didn’t want to go there. He only ended up there because it was the family business and because of it he decided he was going to make his father pay just because. That’s just the guy’s personality (aka contrarian/ maverick just because) and is why the guy is still alive.
Thank you. That was my point precisely.
Most Bush haters, suffering from Bush Derangement Syndrome, simply move the goalposts.
Can you name those who hate “him” believing we were suckered into Iraq under false pretenses?
Were you asleep when Bush PLAINLY stated that he will no longer be on DEFENSE when it comes to terror?
These posts coming from Bush haters here, claiming to be conservatives, but yet are willing to “sit it out” or even vote for Obama, a socialist, because they need to have a temper tantrum, really make me wonder about some of you.
You’re a 30 year republican yet think we were “suckered” into Iraq..........
And I’m the King of Sheeba.
It is interesting that West Virginia is now firmly Republican. I wonder if there is any hope once Byrd retires/expires.
Was Asheville always like this. I was out there fairly frequently when I was assigned to the 82d and it seemed to be a Jesse Helms kind of place. Perhaps I was wrong.
I haven’t been to Asheville in years, I live in Charlotte, but from what I understand the city is pretty much dominated by liberals nowadays.
This seems to be tracking with rising negatives for Obama.
Way to soon to be meaningful, but interesting.
This is temporary. McCain is headed for a humiliating defeat, especially against Obama.
