In Kentucky, the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows John McCain leading Barack Obama by twenty-five percentage points, 57% to 32%. The candidates remain evenly matched nationally in the Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll.
McCain attracts 83% of the Republican vote but also attracts 37% of Kentucky Democrats and leads by a two-to-one margin among unaffiliated voters. Obama earns just 48% of the vote from Democrats. This result is similar to the exit poll finding which showed that just 50% of Kentucky’s Democratic Presidential Primary voters would support Obama over McCain.

Obama doesn’t appear to be playing well in any of the southern states.
Good news — for many reasons. :-)
but then, there’s California, Oregon, Washington, 1/2 the Mid-West, Minnesota, Michigan, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, Ohio,The entire East Coast, (except one or two) and after the MSM gets through with McNutless, probably Florida and about half of the South.
Kentucky is a drop in the bucket. But you can still dream.
If the Hispanic vote can outweigh the moonbats California can go for McCain. Obama is not particulary high on their list.
You’ve been rooting pretty hard for Obama. What’s up with that?
Hillary might have a "June surprise" up her sleeve.
I'll be rooting for Obama until the Beast is gone, once and for all. He'll be much easier to defeat in the Fall.
Has anyone repolled Iowa yet??????Surely the vote would be different now since they know more about Obeamer now!
Rooting for Obama?
Not even hardly! I simply don’t care who wins this election. Neither candidate is worth the time or the effort.
There is a thing called reality that trumps all starry eyed projectionist enthusiasm. Instead of making all these exaggerated projections of how badly McNutcase is going to beat Obama, look at the actual condition and attitude that the public is in these days.
Polls like this, this early, are worthless no matter what the outcome. Don’t waste everybody’s time with them until 2 months before the election, when they actually mean something.
It’s like the Giuliani stupidity. They had Rudy way ahead up until the last 2 months when reality took charge of things. The same goes for Obama and McCain.
America needs to learn a lesson in their own stupidity. If that means the diseased GOP loses, then it will be for some good after all. I will still vote, but not for either one of them. They’re both bad for this country.
You had better care pal! The future of this Republic, your children and your grandchildren ride on it. Think "Supreme Court Justices" and decisions that could take a hundred years to overturn if at all.
The sad thing is that you, and many others actually believe this pap.
There is less than any evidence that McCain will nominate Constitutionalist judges ... period.
ΜΟΛΩΝ ΛΑΒE
That would actually get me to vote for McCain, if I thought he would follow through. I expect as he might nominate one good justice, after that one is voted down, he would go along with his "friends on his side of the aisle" and nominate ones they can have a consensus on.
Denial.
I think it will be enough if, as expected, the GOP gets their head handed to them in the house and senate races. At least a Republican president will somewhat prevent a total destruction of our country unlike if Obama would be in the White House.
There’s even less evidence that McCain will nominate liberal judges. McCain will appoint basically the same kind of justices that Bush appointed. There are two pools - the right and the left.
Don’t you know?? McCain=Obama=McCain. /sarc
“I will still vote, but not for either one of them. They’re both bad for this country.”
Bob Barker will never be president. The ACLU is bad for this country as well.
This proves that Obama is in deep, deep trouble in the South.
blah blah yadda yadda
Anything besides a vote for McCain is a vote for MARXISM, including NOT VOTING or voting for a SURE LOSER like that Price-Is-Right guy with the liberaltarians.
This proves that Obama is in deep, deep trouble in the South.
And that 57% of Kentucky is racist.
Obama will never win the general. Thank God for the south.
Duh!!! His being the Muslim Manchurian Candidate ain’t gonna help him either along with his racist, anti-whitey wife.
“If the Hispanic vote can outweigh the moonbats California can go for McCain.”
According to Rasmussen, the hispanic vote nationwide is going for Obama, 58 to 35. In contrast, Pres. Bush got 44% of the hispanic vote in 2004.
Also, “Thursday, May 22, 2008
In California, the latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey finds Barack Obama leading John McCain 52% to 38%. That’s an improvement for Obama whose lead had slipped to seven percentage points in April. But, it’s the second time in three months that Obama has enjoyed a double digit lead in the nation’s most populous state.”
Amen and amen!
My opinion: Polls, even shortly before the general, are not going to be accurate, because people will lie to the pollsters. Wouldn’t want anybody to “think” you are racist. It’s going to come down to what people do when they get in that voting booth.
Ever been married? Sometimes you have to do things you Do NOT want to.....to make things work....in this case vote for McCain.....IE SUPREME COURT
2. Central and northern Kentucky were heavily settled by German immigrants, while the eastern part of the state (and the rural areas in general) are folks of Scottish and Scot-Irish ancestry who were small farmers, NOT plantation owners.
Kentucky, like WVA is a border state/hybrid state. Much of the state is actually in the Cincinatti media market.
The more they talk, the more motivated I have become. The differences between McCain and the militant is huge, to say they are the same is the most ignorant thing I have ever heard.
Obama is not going to win a Southern state, period. Not even Florida. However, all Obama has to do is to flip Ohio, Colorada and Nevada/Iowa and the election is his.
According to Rassmussen, Obama has the election (at the moment) over McCain.

Daily Presidential Tracking Poll
Monday, May 26, 2008
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Monday shows that John McCain and Barack Obama are tied again at 45%. Over the past seven days, the two candidates have been tied or just a single percentage point apart three times. On the other four days, McCain has had an advantage of two points or more.
The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator shows Democrats leading in states with 200 Electoral Votes while the GOP has the advantage in states with 189. When “leaners” are included, the Democrats enjoy a 260-240 Electoral College lead. Rasmussen Markets data gives Democrats a 62.2% chance of winning the White House in November (results are updated on a 24/7 basis by market participants).
Rasmussen plays games like all these pollsters do. His ‘Balance of Power Calculator’ is in direct contradiction to McCain’s electoral lead which his state-by-state polling bears out.
Well said.
That's true, except among blacks, and blacks alone can't win any of these states for him.
Technically, though, Kentucky is a border state because it didn't secede from the Union and join the Confederacy.
I wouldn’t put any credibility in “Rasmussen Markets Data” as a polling or predictive tool. It’s merely a game.
Won’t most polls in between now and the election show the Dims leading?
I wonder if both parties are perhaps happy with this arrangement...the Dims want to create the illusion of expected victory because in their minds it stacks the deck in their favor, while the Pubs prefer to “run scared” to motivate turnout.
My guess is that there’s a lot of demos in Ohio and Penn. that are like the ones not supporting him in KY.
National polls are irrelevant.
Dick Morris say he could do well in the south. Dick Morris also likes feet.
ok.
