Rasmussen daily graph for 5/9/08 - Obama up 3 (50), Clinton down 1 (42)

And away we go.

Rasmussen will soon stop tracking the Dems because they feel it's over and Obama will be the nominee. They haven't decided when they'll do this.

Obama has been ahead of McCain (3 points today) consistently, according to Rasmussen's tracking poll.








(Pretend that the 10 and 20 lines are actually 0. Does anyone know how to make Excel label different parts of the axis differently?)


Thanks to DUer Austinitis, we also have these nifty favorability graphs:

Discussion

Among all voters nationwide, McCain is viewed favorably by 49% and unfavorably by 48%. (see recent daily favorable ratings). Obama’s numbers are now a bit better than McCain’s—51% favorable and 47% unfavorable. That’s the third straight day that Obama’s favorable ratings have been higher than McCain’s. Prior to these past three days, that hadn’t happened since March 10. For Clinton, the reviews are a bit less flattering--45% favorable and 53% unfavorable.

Tracking poll results are based upon nightly telephone interviews and reported on a four-day rolling average basis. Two nights of interviews for today’s update were completed after the Indiana and North Carolina Primaries. For those two nights on a stand-alone basis, Obama leads Clinton by eleven percentage points.

I had planned to do that when Hillary conceded, but it looks like Rasmussen will stop before she does.

Based on this from Rasmussen's site:

Insignificant change, but perhaps it's the beginning of the same pulling away Rasmussen shows.
