Rasmussen: Obama Up By 6
By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, McCain, PollsObama – 51%
McCain – 45%
McCain adds one, but Obama holds steady with a commanding 51% as we’re now just a month away from election day.
Now just 4% of voters remain undecided or are voting for a 3rd party candidate. And with Nader and Barr and Ron Paul endorsing the Constitution party candidate, it’s possible that 3rd party voting could take up least 2% of the electorate away from McCain. That leaves 2% left and McCain could get all of it and still be 4% behind.
A little more…
Obama is viewed favorably by 56% of voters, McCain by 53% (see trends). Rasmussen Markets data shows Obama is given a 67.9 % chance of winning in November.
The 5 day:
10/04/2008: McCain – 45%, Obama – 51%
10/03/2008: McCain – 44%, Obama – 51%
10/02/2008: McCain – 44%, Obama – 51%
10/01/2008: McCain – 45%, Obama – 51%
09/30/2008: McCain – 45%, Obama – 51%

Question: Is that 2% voting for third party before or AFTER the Diebold software “updates”? With millions of disgruntled voters sick of both major parties, that figure is a joke — but then, again, there’s always our pal Diebold.
At any rate, that 51/44% ratio is a real convenient one to work with. I find both major parties equally loathsome, but I severely doubt McCain has anything near that percentage. Looks good in the “faux election,” though!
Kind of reminds me of the 50/48 “final tally” in 2004 and the 47/48 in 2000.
DIEBOLD: “If your vote counts, then we’re not doing our job.”

Agreed – With Diebold Does It Really Matter?
