******Breaking Fox News Obama lead up 4 points now 7% lead
Edited on Mon Nov-03-08 05:11 PM by grantcart
Just announced Rasmussen admitted that support for Obama was taking a big jump


Obama 50 was 47

McCain 43 was 44


Rasmussen has the unpleasant news that is deflating FOX meme that undecideds were breaking for McCain.


on edit: This was Rasmussens' daily tracking poll so that means for it to have that big a jump that they must have had a big day yesterday and that tomorrow's poll would have been even bigger.

I think that we should assume that this is Rasmussen's attempt to get his poll numbers back with the rest of the pack and save his polling reputation from further embarassement.

13. Or is it a scheme to get Obama voters to do so?
Hopefully, Obama voters are smarter than that.

12. In the end, Faux didn't want to get caught with a totally wrong number.
Waited until the last possible minute to approach the truth.

Nice to see they have their priorities straight: Ultimately, if their coverage is way off, they'll be discredited even more and lose viewers.

16. Fox couldn't care less they are caught out every day but Rasmussen still has some
self respect- and his state poll are considered pretty good.

15. but he has OH and FL a dead heat?
Either Obama leads by 7 nationally or OH and FL are a dead heat with movement towards McCain, but not both.
