Gallup Daily: Obama Hits 50% for First Time

Duncan says it's not the convention bump but the Palin bump, and I'm not doubting that at all. Still can't load the graph. McCain should be really, really worried.


PRINCETON, NJ -- Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Aug. 30 through Sept. 1, finds Barack Obama leading the race for president with his highest share of support to date. Fully half of national registered voters now favor Obama for president, while 42% back John McCain.

Prior to now, no more than 49% of registered voters supported Obama for president in Gallup Poll Daily tracking. Still, Obama's eight percentage point lead over McCain in the new poll falls one point shy of the lead he attained in late July after returning from a well-publicized trip to Europe and parts of the Middle East. At that time, Obama led by nine points, 49% to 40%.

McCain's 42% support is well below his 48% top support level, recorded in late April/early May. It is just slightly better than the 40% he received at several points in July, and the 41% favoring him just last week while the Democratic National Convention was underway.

(that's me singing with a shit-eatin grin)

Oh by the way, I've just decided that Palin is actually a Manchurian candidate. All this time the conservatives thought it would be a muslim... little did they know...

And also, I love how, on MSNBC at least, it's wall to wall questions on the crap vetting. Every Republican blowhard is having to answer. Non friggin stop.

Now That's Meme We Can Believe In!

I wonder if McCain... really wanted this kind of publicity???

Is his secret plan to "hog" the
airways with the Palin's dirty
laundry going as scheduled???

I'll do my little dance of joy, drink copious amounts of tequila, and pass out.

Anyone have issues with that plan? Good.
