Saturday, September 27, 2008

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Barack Obama attracting 50% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. This six-point advantage matches Obama’s biggest lead yet (see trends). Obama is now viewed favorably by 56% of voters, McCain by 54%.

Tracking poll results are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. The overwhelming majority of interviews for today’s report were completed before last night’s Presidential debate. Tomorrow morning’s update may give a hint of the debate reaction but the first update based entirely upon interviews conducted after the debate will come on Tuesday. Before the big event, a plurality of voters expected that Obama would help his campaign more than McCain.

1. Which is probably the real number

Rasmussen's GOP polling bias probably mimics any Bradley effect. When polls start to show Obama up by double digits in the next few days, we need to not get overconfident.
