Obama's Big Lead in a Big State: California
Not that anyone doubted Barack Obama's chances in this big state.
Well, there was some talk about big states:eyes:, and Obama not carrying certain demographics.

The latest Field poll of 672 of probable state voters in the November election reveals these interesting results:

-- Democrats back Obama 78 to 9 percent, compared with the softer support for McCain in his own party - 65 to 16 percent.

-- Three times as many Obama supporters as McCain voters describe themselves as "very enthusiastic" for their candidate - 51 to 17 percent; a full 27 percent of McCain's supporters describe themselves as "not enthusiastic," compared with just 5 percent of Obama's supporters.

-- Obama has a nearly 4-to-1 lead - 64 to 18 percent - among independent and decline-to-state voters in California, and he also leads by more than 2-to-1 among those Californians who describe themselves as holding "middle of the road" political philosophies.

-- Obama bests McCain among California voters of every religion - except those who are Protestant. Evangelical Christians, specifically, prefer McCain 48 to 35 percent.

-- In geographic areas, the Illinois senator has a 6-to-1 lead over McCain in the Bay Area and leads 61 to 27 percent in Los Angeles - two areas that comprise 44 percent of the state's population. McCain leads Obama in one geographic area of the state, the Central Valley - but only barely, at 40 to 39 percent. And McCain leads Obama 44 to 35 percent in inland counties, but Obama leads McCain 62 to 24 percent in coastal counties.

-- Among Latino voters, Obama enjoys a huge edge - 64 to 21 percent - and he is widely preferred over McCain by Asians (59 to 23 percent) and by African Americans (89 to 5 percent).

-- Obama has a 2 1/2-to-1 lead among voters under 40 and leads McCain in every other age group. Even among white non-Hispanics, Obama holds a double-digit lead - 47 to 37 percent - in California, the poll showed.

8. The only excitement McCain can feel at this point is
the one he feels every time he buys a new Giant-sized pack of Depends.
