Election Blog Week 4

According to the Gallup traditional poll and Gallup expanded poll, both polls show Barrack Obama has a significant lead over John McCain. the Traditional model estimates Obama with a 50%to 45% advantage and the expanded model has Obama leading by 52% to 43%. Click on this link it has cool charts and it talks about the data and analyzes it...http://www.gallup.com/poll/111445/Gallup-Daily-Obama-Continues-Lead-McCain.aspx
Currently, Obama has a 9 point lead over McCain, which is the best of his campaign (51% to 42%). When Obama and Hilary were competing for the democratic nomination, McCain and Obama were tied in the polls. Polling can have an impact on campaigns, for instance if a campaign is behind in the polls, they may take greater measures to make themselves look better, for instance the "character assasination" that has been going on between McCain and Obama...well mostly McCain. All of McCain's ads have something to do with something that Barack Obama said or did wrong...which is dumb! McCains gotta promote himself better. The negativity of his campaign is going to turn voters off. Hes gettin desperate. As far as the Virginia Senate race is concerned, it seems like Former governor Mark Warner has this one in the bag. All of those polls put him ahead of Gilmore at least by 15 points. Currently, Warner has a 58% lead over Gilmore's 33%. If you wanna look at polling data go to this website..its pretty cool.. cough cough cough. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2008/senate/va/virginia_senate-537.html
