Rasmussen: Obama Up By 8

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, McCain, Polls

Obama - 52%
McCain - 44%

No change today, and McCain has to be thankful for that. The trends have definitely been heavily in Obama’s favor and McCain might be able to start to turn things around slightly with a strong showing in tonight’s debate.

However, with favorability ratings like Obama’s, it’ll be hard to make much of a dent…

Obama is viewed favorably by 58% of voters, McCain by 52%.

Obama is viewed Very Favorably by 39% of voters and Very Unfavorably by 28%. For McCain, those numbers are 24% Very Favorable and 26% Very Unfavorable.

10/07/2008: McCain - 44%, Obama - 52%
10/06/2008: McCain - 44%, Obama - 52%
10/05/2008: McCain - 44%, Obama - 51%
10/04/2008: McCain - 45%, Obama - 51%
10/03/2008: McCain - 44%, Obama - 51%

More tomorrow…
