Democracy Corps: Obama Expands Lead in Battleground
A new Democracy Corps survey shows Sen. Barack Obama leads Sen. John McCain by 5 points nationally, 49% to 44%, and holds a 6-point edge, 49% to 43%, in a group of battleground states that voted for President Bush by 4 points in 2004.

Analysis: "Obama has consolidated the Democratic vote and has unified the Party. Both nationally and in the presidential battleground states Obama's support among Democrats (87 percent nationally and 88 percent in the battleground states) is virtually identical to McCain's support among Republicans."

1. K & R!
The survey fielded September 1-3, 2008 among 1,000 likely voters nationwide and 600 likely voters in 18 presidential battleground states The battleground states included in this sample are Alaska, Colorado, Florida, Indiana, Iowa, Michigan, Missouri, Minnesota, Montana, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin. The national sample has a margin of error of +/- 3.2%. The battleground sample is based on a total of 1,000 likely voters and includes the oversample of 600 likely voters in battleground states and the voters from the national sample that are registered in any of the presidential battleground states and has a margin of error of +/- 3.2%.

3. Yeap, that's why I though Palin would be a net negative cause she would alienate the center even...
...though giving the conservative base something to scream about.

The kkkon base was going to vote McSame anyway no matter what cause he had an R by his name.

I pray McSame NEVER see's the oval office, he's dangerously sloppy.
