Lets have a look at the general election polls, its early and they will go up and down over the months, this is a bit fun not something to bet on, well not yet!! Well we have the first African - American Nominee for President. This is historic, thus with the press in the tank for Obama, Obama is of course miles ahead, well no that's the point, in fact if one take in to account that people lie to pollsters when it comes to Obama, the race is even. The RCP average of Polls has Obama ahead by 2.5%, thus if you discount those that lie, its an even race. Lets have a look at some individual polls, CNN has Obama leading McCain by 3%, another poll shows a wider margin for Obama, the respected pollster Rasmussen shows a eight point lead by Obama over McCain, Obama 48% - McCain 40%. It should be noted that Hillary Clinton's support might have helped, he might need her on the ticket to win.
Lets take a breath, a long road has just started in the 08 race.
