Rasmussen has the Limburger polling

And it stinks if you're a fan of Senator John McCain.

In Wisconsin, Obama 54% McCain 44%

Barack Obama has opened a double digit lead over John McCain in Wisconsin. The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey in the state-conducted the night before the second Presidential Debate-shows Obama attracting 54% of the vote while McCain earns 44%.

Electoral College: Obama 248 McCain 163

New state polling from Wisconsin has moved that state from "Leans Democratic" to "Likely Democratic" in the Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator. With this change, Obama leads in states with 248 Electoral College votes while McCain is ahead in states with 163 Electoral College votes. When "leaners" are included, it's Obama 300, McCain 174.

News from Pennsylvania isn't that great either. On the other hand, things are going great in Alaska.

McCain at 50 percent

Rasmussen Reports is reporting this morning Senator John McCain has hit the 50% mark in the daily tracking poll.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Sunday shows John McCain reaching the 50% level of support for the first time since Barack Obama wrapped up the Democratic Presidential Nomination. McCain retains a three-point advantage for the third straight day, 50% to 47% (see recent daily results).

Update! Politico has the five reasons John McCain is ahead. I still find it hard to believe McCain is ahead. Are we heading for the biggest upset since Truman defeated Dewey?

The undecided 18 percent

Scott Rasmussen looks at the number of people who say they will not change their minds about the November election and discovers the battle is really for eighteen percent.

"...thirty-nine percent of voters are certain to vote for Barack Obama, forty-three percent are certain to vote for John McCain. That leaves eighteen percent of voters in the potential swing vote category."

Rasnussen Reports has it even

The daily tracking Rasmussen poll with a three-day rolling average has the race at even.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows the beginning of John McCain’s convention bounce and the race is essentially back where it was before Barack Obama’s bounce. Obama now attracts 46% of the vote while McCain earns 45%. When "leaners" are included, it’s Obama 48%, McCain 46% (see recent daily results).

The numbers at Rasmussen should go up.

Tracking Poll results are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. Virtually all of the interviews for today’s update were completed before McCain’s speech last night. Roughly two-thirds of the interviews were completed before Palin’s speech on Wednesday night.
