Obama Widens Lead Over McCain

Source: Wall Street Journal

Independent voters are starting to swing behind Barack Obama and Joe Biden, who continue to benefit from economic turmoil and the public response to their debate performances, according to a new Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll.

The survey, conducted over the weekend, was full of good news for the Democratic ticket. Sen. Obama increased his advantage over John McCain when voters were asked which one they prefer to handle economic issues, as a growing percentage of voters said that was their top concern heading into the election. More voters said they're "more reassured" by how Sen. Obama was responding to the financial crisis than by Sen. McCain.

Overall, Sens. Obama and Biden have a six-point lead, with 49% of registered voters saying they'd vote for them to 43% for Sen. McCain and Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin. That's up from a slim two-point advantage from the last Journal poll two weeks ago, and parallels other recent national polls. The survey has a margin of error of plus or minus 3.8 percentage points.

"McCain has absorbed a very tough one-two punch -- the financial crisis, then the debates," said Neil Newhouse, a Republican pollster who conducts the survey with Democratic pollster Peter D. Hart. "These two things have clearly led to a momentum shift in this campaign where Obama has started to slowly stretch his lead.". . .

Just out.

It's over

And he is picking them off one by one. McCain has given up on Michigan. Pennsylvania and Minnesota are next. Obama is going to win Virginia.

It's looking good, indeed, but we are a long way out.

Even though they have absolutely ZERO ideas on how to fix the country, they are scared to death of not being in power. They hate Obama and the Democrats and will go to any length to stop us outright, if not make it impossible for us to govern.

McCain is by all accounts finished and at the end of his rope on multiple fronts, but complacency won't prevent him from winning and wreaking further havoc upon the country and the world, in however little time he may have. And behind him comes Palin. Enough said.

As one of my mentors says, "FIGHT TO THE BELL!"

Obama better win or were sunk.
