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.

Either pro-abortion/infanticide candidate will lose to McCain. The only mystery left is whether there will be a racial conflagration in Denver. It seems inevitable to me now.
Hadn’t heard that one about Hillary under oath.True,that could be damaging.
Then again,the media could make excuses for her until the cows come home and the lib women of America would rally around “the mean Old Boys Network is picking on her again”mantra.
Speculating, yes. But not in a lip-biting way, so don't be concerned.
In fact, I hope you're right & Obama survives - I don't want it to end. For the first time in years I'm actually enjoying politics.
I don't know. I don't think tax returns capture people's imaginations. Depends on what is revealed.
“The Republicans could have easily tied him to Obama after he got the nomination and McCain could have carried 45-48 states leaving Obama the District of Columbia and at the most five other states.
This is the reason we should have done everything we could to defeat Clinton in Texas and elsewhere. “
Between Sean Hannity and Rush, with friends like these, who needs enemies?
If the conservative base refuses to rally to the support of McCain, the DBM will not attack him, they’ll actually prop him up.
Tell that to the one who's behind it (can you guess who she is?)
You could’t be more wrong. This story has long legs.
Because the Democrats' delegates are awarded "proportionally," it is very unlikely that The Evil One will overcome Obama's lead in pledged delegates. If such a lead exists when the convention begins, Obama's supporters would be more than outraged if he doesn't get the nomination.
I agree. The Clintons are the worst possible scenario. Every generation has some great difficulty it has to endure. For some it was the Great Depression. For some it was World War II. For some it was Viet Nam. I know this will sound like a gross overstatement, but for me, beyond terrorism, the Clintons and the hateful, divisive, know it all philosophical ideologies embraced by them and their followers are mine.
Obama’s popularity is tubing due to this ‘black liberation theology’ preacher of his.
McCain better pick a solid conservative VP, and serve only one term. This election is actually his to lose. In fact, any one of the Republican candidates with the exception of Giuliani could easily beat Obama and/or Hillary.
Huckabee?
Only poll that matters is 3 days before General Election. Actually even that poll only matters if one of the candidate is ahead by more than 4%.
If they are not, the ONLY thing that matters is in that poll, who was TRENDING UP and who was TRENDING DOWN.
Rest is waste of time.
Sure,the black Obama supporters will cry and moan at being cheated out of the nomination by Hillary.
But watch.In November,95% will be at the polls casting a pro-Hillary vote.
Reluctantly,to be sure.Yet a reluctant vote counts just as much as one that is cast passionately.
There is at least one more bombshell out there, but at this point I prefer not to talk about it. Unfortunately hillary will have different motives. She’s the one who put Wright on YouTube, and she’ll pretty certainly put out this other stuff now, because her first order of business is to win the nomination.
Sometimes things are hard to predict, but I now begin to think Obama would have been easier to beat in November than Countess Hildabeast.
Wow. I don't agree with that at all. Ron Paul? Huckabee? Romney? Thompson? But, McCain has the delegates so that question is closed.
