Remember the Pew poll that came out today, that showed Barack Obama up by 14? Well maybe it's true.
Because the LA Times just released a poll, at 5pm Eastern, regarding FLA and Ohio, with Obama ahead by healthy margins (Obama up 49 to 40%, Ohio and 50 to 43% Florida).
Currently, Barack Obama is running better than any democrat the past thirty two years with the white vote, and he's also leading with the much discussed "working class white vote".
As a matter of fact, in today's Pew Poll, Obama was leading in every major demographic category! Can you believe that?
This is popping up in multiple state and national polls now.
He's on the precipice of getting more white votes than any Democrat since Jimmy Carter or (Geesh) LBJ (passing Carter) in 1964.
Okay, Back to Ohio and Florida:
In Ohio, a state that has been battered for years by unemployment and plant closings, Obama is leading McCain 49% to 40% among people likely to vote. The LA Times top line numbers:
In Florida, a state that was considered a likely win for Republicans not long ago, McCain is trailing, 50% to 43%.

The poll results undercut McCain's closing argument that Obama is no friend of working people such as "Joe the Plumber" -- the Toledo man who said he feared his taxes would rise if Obama were elected. In Ohio, the survey found, Obama led McCain among white working-class people by 52% to 38%.
"Barack Obama understands Joe the Plumber better than John McCain," said Theresa Riddle, a 48-year-old Republican in Springfield, Ohio, who participated in the survey and spoke in a follow-up interview. "When John McCain talks about the economy, he says nothing."
Wow! After the MSM tried so hard all year, to tell us that whites and working class whites wouldn't vote for Obama, he's now trouncing McCain with that category (the same happen in a Suffolk, Nevada poll, with Obama up 10 earlier today).
When Barack accepted the Democratic nomination in Denver, he mentioned that he would gladly have a argument with McCain about his Temperament.
Well the Ohio and Fla voters agree:
Still, Obama has impressed more voters as having the temperament and personality to be president: Nearly six in 10 respondents in each state said he was temperamentally better suited than McCain.
For Added Bonus, here is the Suffolk Poll of Nevada, released today:
With just one week to go before the Nov. 4 election, Obama (50 percent) leads McCain (40 percent). The double-digit spread is a marked switch from just over a month ago, when a Suffolk University poll found a virtual dead heat between the two candidates in the Silver State. It’s the first Nevada poll this year to find a double-digit lead for Obama.

The reason why Obama is doing so well in Colorado and Nevada now (latest double digit polls) is the independent votes. Don't be fooled. In Colorado the early votes may worry some Kossacks (cause Dems and GOP are almost tied in turn out). But it's the Independents that are voting overwhelmingly out west for Obama, where he has big leads. They are the game changers.
Why because a overwhelming majority of voters have made up their mind and trust Obama in the poll:
An overwhelming majority of likely Nevada voters responding to the poll (94 percent) have now made up their minds. Just 1 percent described themselves as undecided, and 5 percent said they may change how they will vote between now and election day.
For many of you doubters wondering if Obama can really win Nevada. Pay attention to this next paragraph/numbers:
A separate Suffolk University bellwether poll of Nevada’s Washoe County finds Obama leading McCain 45 percent to 41 percent.
In 2008, Suffolk University bellwethers were 95 percent accurate in predicting straight-up winners in both Democratic and Republican primaries, and, when in agreement with the statewide Suffolk polls of the respective states, were 100 percent accurate in predicting straight-up winners
Wow! Go Washoe County, and I hope you keep up that Obama lead!
What could be a reason for this type of support across the state and in Bell weather counties, like Washoe, for Obama. They trust him:
The trust factor also has swung significantly in Obama’s direction. Asked which candidate they trust more, 50 percent of respondents said Obama, while 41 percent said McCain. A Suffolk poll released Sept. 22 found likely voters in Nevada trusted Obama over McCain by a much slimmer 46 percent-to-45 percent margin.
What's also interesting is, even if every undecided voted in this poll,voted for McCain, Obama would still win. Also, his supporters say that they are 94% sure of their vote (so you could throw in that 6% as well). Wow!
Yes! John Sidney McCain is on the ropes (but not statistically out). I do believe Obama has a large national lead, and the national trackers will grow again, toward the end of the week. But that doesn't mean we relax. We can't!
That means, we work harder;so Obama can have as close to a mandate as possible, and we get 60 Senators in Congress (or as close to it as possible, cause we should be able to convince a couple of left leaning repubs, to do the right thing). Lol. We have to rectify the Bush years!
Go Obama and all of his supporters!
