Another reason why Ohio and Texas should vote for Obama from Rasmussen:
Looking ahead to November 2008, Barack Obama has a twelve-point lead over John McCain in a general election match-up. Obama attracts 50% of the vote while McCain earns 38%.
At the same time, McCain has a nine-point lead over Hillary Clinton, 49% to 40%.
So with Obama we start with 12 points up, with Clintion we start 9 points down. That's a frickin' 21 point swing!!!
This is the same result we saw yesterday from Rasmussen in Colorado.
The latest Rasmussen Reports telephone survey shows that Barack Obama (D) currently holds a seven-point advantage over John McCain (R), 46% to 39%. However, if the Democrats nominate Hillary Clinton, McCain will begin the race with a fourteen point advantage, 49% to 35%. National polling, updated daily, currently shows the same general trend with Obama currently performing better than Clinton in match-ups with McCain.
Well, what do you know?!?! Another 21-point swing!
Please Ohio. Please Texas. Please Wisconsin. Let the Democrats start with the advantage. Don't put us in the hole to start this race.
