By Justin Gardner | Related entries in 2008 Election, Barack, McCain, PollsObama - 51%
McCain - 46%
No movement today as Rasmussen is showing perhaps the most conservative lead for Obama in all of the daily trackers.
The numbers…
Now, however, Obama is now viewed favorably by 55% of voters nationwide, McCain by 53%. Obama gets positive reviews from 88% of Democrats and 56% of unaffiliated voters. 90% of Republicans and 55% of unaffiliateds say the same about Obama.However, there is a definite enthusiasm gap when it comes to the candidates. 77% of Democrats have a Very Favorable opinion. Only 55% of Republicans are that upbeat about McCain.
Obama leads by ten among women but trails by two among men.
The economy remains the top issue of Election 2008 for 46% of voters. Just 20% see national security as the top priority. The importance of the economic issue is highlighted by the fact that McCain was leading by three points in mid-September just before Lehman Brothers collapsed and made public the depth of Wall Street’s problems. Shortly after that, Obama moved ahead and has enjoyed a stable lead that has lasted into the final weekend of Election 2008.
Here’s the thing…if Obama is at 51% at this point then that’s a comfortable lead and there’s probably little McCain can do to put a dent in it. And that means that an Obama win is highly likely. And I’m talking about a 90%+ likelihood.
