Participant[quote=LA_Renter]The USA Today Gallup poll is more than likely an outlier. Rasmussen daily tracker is better gauge followed by the Gallup daily tracking. Rasmussen has McCain up 1 point M 48 O 47. All interviews were taken after the GOP Convention.
With the “right track wrong track” numbers such as they are you would think Obama would be further ahead. It makes me wonder if the electorate is weary of another round of One Party Rule. [/quote]
The public is blaming Congress as much as the White House for being on the wrong track. Congressional approval ratings are much lower then for President Bush.
Congress is ran by the democrats. When people say they are sick of things they are talking as much or more about the way congress has handled things then anything else.
Obama should be leading big now and the fact that he is getting behind this soon after the conventions indicates a big lost for him.

The public knows very little about Congress and the way it has handled things. Their anger is directed at the government as a whole, without any particulars. President Bush is likable for some people; but the Congress is a vague entity with no redeeming qualities.

September 8, 2008 at 9:07 AM #267614Participant……..how cold is Canada? It can’t be that bad….
Vancouver is 5-10 degrees cooler in the summer, average January high is 42 F. It’s a lot wetter than San Diego.
It makes me wonder if the electorate is weary of another round of One Party Rule.
It represents the greatest bait-and-switch of the 20th century, and the amazing grip that backward conservative philosophy of the Republican Party has on the “unwashed masses” (white uneducated Christians). As long as a candidate stands up and loudly proclaims “I’m a Christian, I believe that life believes at conception, I’m against same-sex marriage, and I’m for abstinence education”, he’s pretty much guaranteed a vote of a large fraction of the population, REGARDLESS of his economic policies. (Which policies happen to be heavily unfavorable for those unwashed masses). McCain has a 15-20 percent lead among whites without any college education. You’d think that people who didn’t make it into college would be all over Obama and his socialist policies. Yet, they are voting republican election after election.
That’s why I thought that Sarah Palin was a bad VP choice. She is a perfect candidate for white uneducated Christians, who typically vote Republican anyway. But she’s too far right to be attractive to democrats, independents, and anyone who does not believe that God has created the earth in six days. These polls are suggesting that I was wrong. We’ll see in two months.
