Weekend Polls

Well folks it has not been a boring few days on the economic front, it seems we avoided the bullet of another Great Depression, the US Government is taking on the debt of the United States, President Hoover did not act and thus we had the Great Depression and Bush has gone to other extreme, he has bailed out Major Companies with bad debt. Of the two options I would support the Bush Plan, but the question has to be asked who is going to pay for this, the answer has to be the tax payer. Lets look at the Polls Folks.

Gallup: Reports that Senator Obama has a five percent lead over McCain. The Poll found the following, Obama 49% - McCain 44%. The Western Economy faced going in to the toilet and Obama is only five points ahead, this should worry the Obama Camp, Obama should with kind of news be in double digit lead, and he is still under 50%. If the Economic Plan by the Bush Administration works, I think McCain could pull off a victory in November.

Rasmussen: This poll finds a closer race, in essence a tie, the poll finds the following, Obama 48% - McCain 47%. The Obama Camp needs to have a sharper message on the Economy, should get in some of the Clinton old hands of the 1992 Campaign. In the West Wing Season 7, the Republican Candidate had to cope with a Nuclear Accident, this Economic threat is its equal, McCain has to show that he understand the Middle Class, he has to become their Reagan, he cant say that the economy is fine, it looks like something Paris Hilton would say because she is rich. The McCain Camp has to show his maverick streak, be firm with Wall Street, need better government control of the money markets.

Hoteline/FDTracking: This also shows a close race between Obama and McCain, the poll finds the following, Obama 45% - McCain 44%. If Obama cant get over 50% by Election Day it can be postulated that McCain will win, the issue that no one wants to discuss is race, are the voters in the United States willing to elect the first African - American to the Presidency, Obama is Liberal that is enough of an issue but his race has not an legitimate point not to vote for him, Obama could be the next JFK or Reagan, but he has to stand up to his Party and show that he will not be pushed around by the Liberal Left of the Democratic Party.
