The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Wednesday is unchanged with John McCain attracting 48% of the vote while Barack Obama earns 47% (see recent daily results). Both men are viewed favorably by 55% of the nation’s voters

McCain leads 58% to 38% among those who regularly shop at Wal-Mart while Obama leads 61% to 36% among those who don’t frequent the retail giant.

3. Yeah. Rasmussen's a funny guy. Note that McWalkingCane's favorables are sinking like a rock.

Which is often a leading indicator for a slide in head-to-head.

4. bullshit poll, expecially assertion that more people trust McCain than Obama on economy

But what do we expect from the "Fox/Rasmussen" poll.

Investor confidence has stabilized—at least for the moment--after falling sharply for several days. The economic confidence of those who do not invest was not shaken by the Wall Street events of recent days. As for the political implications, polling conducted last night shows that 49% trust McCain more than Obama on economic issues while 45% trust Obama.

5. I was hoping Obama would have pulled even or gone ahead today

at least the polls are showing McCain's surge has stopped and the trend, at least nationally, appears to be going back in Obama's direction.
