Rasmussen: 2/24/08 Latest Poll Shows McCain Leading over Both Democrats
Rasmussen Reports ^ | 2/24/2008 | Rasmussen Reports

Posted on 02/24/2008 9:53:04 AM PST by GVnana

Sunday, February 24, 2008

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).

I find it fascinated how a reputable poll showing McCain ahead of both nut job Dem socialists brings out the McCain haters in full force trying to get people to STAY HOME AND NOT VOTE or down playing the results.

Stop posting lies! NO ONE is saying they will "stay home and not vote".

A good friend used to work for a polling company . He told me the dirty little secret is that people lie about there party affiliation and the Repub voters were hard to come by because they were too busy to stop and take a 20 minute poll.
Ever since the Kerry landslide exit poll results , he comments have made a lot of sense.
I can only tell you what the RNC folks were saying at the FL office.

John McCain - IQ Score Range: 120 - 130.

I guess that's why he graduated 894 out of 899 at the Navel Academy.

Sorry, I wasn’t able to find one on their site. Perhaps a premium member would have access.

PA, possibly with the Blue collar traditionally dem vote looking at color. Oregon, forget it.....the population is young and secular. They will be more than willing to show up and vote for the new messiah.

Well then, who would you have in there? I’m uneasy about McCain, and don’t like him much; but I’ll not have Hillary or Barack either! With McCain, we might win a few more years to get someone else that’s more to our liking. Also one who might stop the further slide into socialism, and then outright Marxism!

We definitely have a shot in Oregon. It’s actually equal parts GOP and DEM, with IND’s deciding it. If we can sour Obama among that group via his PBA-support and irresponsible foreign policy statements.

i guess i’m a genius then at 138

If you are the lab mouse and aren't heavy enough to push the shift key and the letter key at the same time then you might be a genius mouse.
