McCain Support Continues Downward Spiral

[RollTide+]

Obama Leads by 19 Among Those Who Have Already Voted.


Overview
October 28, 2008


Barack Obama leads John McCain by a 52% to 36% margin in Pew’s latest nationwide survey of 1,325 registered voters. This is the fourth consecutive survey that has found support for the Republican candidate edging down. In contrast, since early October weekly Pew surveys have shown about the same number of respondents saying they back Obama. When the sample is narrowed to those most likely to vote, Obama leads by 53% to 38%.

A breakdown of voting intentions by demographic groups shows that since mid- September, McCain’s support has declined significantly across most voting blocs. Currently, McCain holds a statistically significant advantage only among white evangelical Protestants (aside from Republicans). In addition, Obama runs nearly even with McCain in the so-called red states, all of which George W. Bush won in 2004.

Just as ominous for the Republican candidate, Obama holds a 53% to 34% lead among the sizable minority of voters (15%) who say they have already voted. Among those who plan to vote early but have not yet voted (16% of voters), 56% support Obama, while 37% support McCain.

Looks like the pew pollers were doing crack while surveying, every other poll has it from 2-8 and they come up with 15 pts.

Then they comically state that mccain trails by 19 pts among "minority" voters, and this is ominous...too funny!

Since you put quotation marks around the word minority, maybe you were just making a stupid ass pun, but in case you hadn't figured it out, "sizable minority" refers to an unusually large number of voters who have already voted-that is, it's unusually for 15% of the voters to have voted by now-NOT that the voters in question are minorities. As for the rest of your post, the breakdown on electoral votes is a lot more ominous for McNutt than the popular vote, and, unfortunately for HIM, that's the breakdown that counts. But you can keep right on whistling past the graveyard for another week if it makes you happy...:nohead::missingte:lol:arty::lolBIG:
