Rasmussen: Obama leads by 28% in California
http://rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/california/election_2008_california_presidential_election

*Snip*
John McCain’s call for offshore oil drilling may have helped him in Florida, but it’s having the opposite impact in California. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the Golden State finds Barack Obama leading McCain 58% to 30%. A month ago, Obama led 52% to 38%.

The survey was conducted on Monday night, the day of McCain’s visit to Santa Barbara, where a 1969 oil spill helped launch the environmental movement. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, is a Republican and a McCain supporter. However, he strongly disagrees with McCain’s position on offshore drilling and has called the California coast an “international treasure” that needs to be protected.

2. Helped him in FL how? Because Crist came out in support?
Please, I'll wait for polling to prove it has helped. Preferably not from RWer Rasmussen though.

5. Every year, the Republicans claim CA is going to be in play. Every year, this happens. God bless CA.

14. What are they basing that claim on anyway?
Did polls actually show a bounce in FLA or are they just lying?

15. Obama is leading in FL. They are just saying that it's helping me.
Edited on Wed Jun-25-08 11:06 AM by Liberal_Stalwart71
After he flip-flopped on off-short drilling, the next day polls showed Obama with a lead in Florida. Don't know where Ras is getting its information from other than its BUTT!! x(

12. We should not get complacent here
There's the anti-gay marriage initiative on the ballot this year and that always draws the fundies who might otherwise stay home to the ballot.

I take nothing for granted. Even the blueness of my state.

16. If 12 million people voted in CA and O won by 28% that is a 3.4 million vote margin right there.
