Final Rasmussen: Obama Up By 6

McCain - 46%
Obama gains one today, and I think it’s pretty clear from every single indicator out there that he has this thing locked up.
Not only that, it looks like he’ll actually get a majority of the vote, and that hasn’t happened for a Dem in over 30 years.
Rasmussen talks about Obama’s consistent lead…
Today is the 39th straight day that Obama’s support has stayed between 50% and 52%. Only once during that entire time did his lead fall below four points and it occasionally expanded to eight.During that 39-day stretch, Obama did well in the debates and in many ways campaigned like Ronald Reagan–he reminded voters of an unpopular incumbent, offered an upbeat message in a time of economic anxiety, and promised tax cuts to just about everyone.
Like Reagan, Obama’s tax-cutting message became the single most visible part of his campaign and 31% of voters expect their taxes to decline if the Democrat wins tomorrow. Only 11% expect a tax-cut with a McCain victory.
And a bit on favorability and enthusiasm…
Obama is now viewed favorably by 56% of voters nationwide, McCain by 53%. Obama gets positive reviews from 88% of Democrats and 58% of unaffiliated voters. Eight-nine percent (89%) of Republicans and 56% of unaffiliateds say the same about McCain.However, there is a definite enthusiasm gap when it comes to the candidates. Seventy-six percent (76%) of Democrats have a Very Favorable opinion. Only 55% of Republicans are that upbeat about McCain.
And with 30% of the votes already banked and favoring Obama by around 20%, McCain could be looking at a much bigger loss than just 6 points.
The 5 day:
11/03/2008: McCain - 46%, Obama - 52%
11/02/2008: McCain - 46%, Obama - 51%
11/01/2008: McCain - 46%, Obama - 51%
10/31/2008: McCain - 47%, Obama - 51%
10/30/2008: McCain - 46%, Obama - 51%
No more tomorrow. :-)
