Rasmussen: Obama down by 2, Mitch up by 16

There's still time... (4.00 / 3)

now if these are the same numbers we see two weeks before Election Day, and if McCain still has no ground program, I am confident of an Obama victory here.

Nice post (4.00 / 1)

although Rasmussen's accuracy is sad.

The Star's poll correctly predicted the Ballard win last year, although they folded like a house of cards when it was correctly pointed out, their stratified lists were not representative.  I think they've learned.

Does anyone have an accurate count on the Obama field game?  I'm told 30 offices, and I thought there was one paid person to an office, with the exception of several Indy-area offices.

At any level, it's the most-intensive Indiana presidential ground game in history--of either party.  Unless these staffers are playing pinnochle all day, their efforts are bound to have an impact.

CNN POLL OF POLLS: Close in Ohio, Indiana (4.00 / 3)

New CNN poll of polls out of Indiana and Ohio Friday show both Midwestern states appear up for grabs with less than seven weeks to go before Election Day.

According to averages of several recent surveys from both states, Obama holds a slim 1 point lead in Ohio (46-45 percent) and McCain holds a small 2 point lead in Indiana (47-45 percent).

Nice post (4.00 / 1)

Does "poll of polls" average all polls together?  If so, while the results are encouraging, the methodology is a tad suspect.  Considering the criteria for each company's poll is so wildly different.

Nonetheless, my unscientific hometown coffee shop poll shows an interesting trend, for which I'm thankful:

Due to aging and ill parents, I'm in the old homestead twice or three times weekly.  A small northern Indiana town.  The coffee shop talk there yesterday, had surpassed all discussion of race.  Which is new for them.  Completely new.

The coffee crowd was evenly split.  A huge turn-around in the last 30 days.

Do ya think that McCain's choice of a hugely-unqualified woman, made folks realize, that opposition to a candidate based solely on race, might be a tad stupid?

Maybe we've all grown a little.  There's hope.
