“McCain Up in Florida Early Voting Poll”

According to an LA Times/Bloomberg poll of those who voted early in Florida, McCain leads Obama 49-45% even though more Democrats voted than Republicans:

Apparently they all must have just finished watching that infomercial…

So check this out. My daughter is in 5th grade. Her homework assignment was that her class had to watch the 30 minute Obama commercial and write a paragraph about it. Interesting way a teacher forces families to watch the Obama campaign material, isn’t it?

I heard on O’Reilly tonight that Rasmussen will report tomorrow that there has been a shift from Obama to McCain as to who can best handle the economy. This is big since the economy is the number one issue. Also 43% of the country still do not believe Obama is qualified for the job. We are hitting crunch time and 10-12% undecided is a big number.

I think the “spreading the wealth” comment and the unbelievable attacks on the personal life of “Joe the Plumber” are making people think twice about the Chosen One.” Add to that the list of radicals in Barry’s address book.

Have you seen this yet AJ?

Tracking poll results that didnâ€™t include any weekend polling tend to show John McCain closing the gap, while those conducted over the weekends show a widening Obama lead. Mathematically, it works out to 42% of the variance in the daily poll results is related to how many days of weekend polling were included within the sample.

It looks to me like it is getting tighter.

A few observations. Hotline is still an outlier although Zogby is catching up. I have had my questions on the Hotline poll for a couple of days, and Zogby’s movements cannot be correlated to the other polls. Battleground and Gallup show the same %. 49-46. While IBD shows 47-44. All within the MOE.

I would question Battleground’s steady performance even though there are many crosscurrents going on under the headline numbers. 3% down is still 3% down and I am still waiting for McCain to go ahead in one poll. I’m also still waiting for the Clinton’s to endorse McCain as well as the PA gov. Dream on.
