Excuse the short diary. Today's Rasmussen Daily Tracking Poll shows a big jump for Barack Obama over John McCain in a general election matchup. Today he leads 48-40, up from 46-42 the day before and 43-41 two days before that. When leaners are included, the lead is 50-43.
From the article:
Obama’s bounce is the result of growing unity among the Democratic Party. Eighty-one percent (81%) of Democrats say they will vote for Obama over McCain. That’s the highest level of party support ever enjoyed by Obama. Still, three-out-of-ten voters are either uncommitted or could change their mind before Election Day. Fifty-six percent (56%) of those swayable voters are women and most earn less than $60,000 a year. There are more conservatives than liberals among these potential swing voters.
