Rasmussen – Obama support drops
Rasmussen Daily Presidential Tracking Poll ^ | Saturday, March 15, 2008 | Rasmussen Poll

Posted on 03/15/2008 11:23:34 AM PDT by GVnana

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton essentially even in the race for the Democratic Presidential Nomination. It’s Obama 46% Clinton 45% (see recent daily results). This reflects an unusually sharp change from yesterday’s results when Obama led by eight points and reached the 50% level of support for the first time. Daily tracking results are collected via nightly telephone surveys and reported on a four-day rolling average basis. Last night’s results were very favorable for Clinton and it remains to be seen whether this marks a lasting change in the race or is merely statistical noise. Single night results are based upon very small samples and are more volatile than the overall tracking poll.

Looking to November, John McCain now holds a slight lead over both Democrats in the General Election. It’s McCain 47% Obama 42% and McCain 46% Clinton 42% (see recent daily results). It appears that Clinton’s challenges to Obama may be helping McCain at least in the short-term. McCain’s polling numbers against Obama began improving during the run-up to the hard-fought Democratic Primaries in Ohio and Texas. Obama has a three-percentage point edge over McCain among unaffiliated voters but is currently supported by just 65% of Democrats. By way of comparison, McCain earns the vote from 80% of Republicans.

I have watched Hussein on the Senate floor and on committees, he is nothing to write home about, a big zero.

Sen. Jeff Sessions blows everyone in both parties away, in his Senate capacities.

Good afternoon.

Yes there is no doubt that Osama Obama’s speaking style is heavily influenced by Wright, and MLK as well.

Until I stopped believing in a deity when I was 9, I was raised Southern Baptist and used to sneak into an offshoot fundamentalist church near us to watch people speak in tongues.

I think I wasn't on the same track as you even though we aren't really disagreeing with each other. I meant that Osama Obama learned most of his rabble rousing from Alinsky and the dirty communist, Davis.

Weak, yes, but, you are dismissing the cheating-at-any-length-at-any-depth-to-win for which the clintons are infamous and professional.

“The big question now is how the blacks will see his loss of the nomination. If they see it as a “whitey holding them down” scenario, I’d doubt they would redirect their support to Hillary.”

I agree, they stay home.

NEVER give your enemy an even break.. The ONLY fair fight is where the enemy dies and you live. KILL him as quickly and as surely as you can — whenever you can....by whatever means at hand.

We didn’t do this with Hillary!

True! True! True!

Rush screwed up big time, and the sheeple that baa baa baaed along and did what he said screwed up even more!

This is going to be an exciting election. I sure wish it was a boring one, though.

Obama’s support will rise again upon Hillary’s release of her questionable tax returns....

I hope you're not holding your breath while you wait for her to release them.

“Rush screwed up big time, and the sheeple that baa baa baaed along and did what he said screwed up even more!”

I’m beginning to think that Rush really doesn’t care. He seems to be more interested in getting back at the media who said that he is losing his influence with his listeners. He’s so happy to prove them wrong, even to the detriment of this country’s future, IMHO. And he hates McCain to boot.

Wikipedia is projecting more superdelegates to hillary than to obama.

Obama was caught in a lie. At the end of the sermon where Wright was ranting about the Clintons, he told the congregation that “O” was here with them, today. Now, he could have meant Oprah, but since he was talking about Obama, I have to think that is who he was referring to.

We are not at war with the clintons. We are at war with the democrats. Ever heard of the old axiom...DIVIDE AND CONQUER? The more divided the democrat party is, the better for the republican party.

All of this anti Obama stuff should have come out after he had the nomination.

He would have been sooooo easy to beat in November.

Instead, now we will get the Clinton machine and all of its years of experience.

Hey, thanks El Rushbo -- thanks for nothin'.

I agree with every word of what you say!

I think he just thinks he'll have tons of material to keep his audience stirred up ALL the time if hillary wins...and that's a win-win for him.

However; way more important than Rush, I just saw your tagline and if I haven't thanked you and your marine before, let me do it now!

Thank you, thank you, thank you for keeping us safe and free...plain and simple y'all are the salt of this earth, special people far, far beyond the rest of us!

This is the beginning of the end for Barack Obama.

I agree, and we can thank Rush, Hannity, O’Reilly, and whoever else that couldn’t keep their mouth shut. Now we will have The Beast to run against as the media circles the wagon like never before. I’m still voting for him in the Pa. primary.
