SurveyUSA: Obama 60, Clinton 38

Here's a look at the latest polls just out from Virginia and Maryland:

Virginia Democratic Primary (SurveyUSA) Obama 60, Clinton 38
Maryland Democratic Primary (SurveyUSA) Obama 55, Clinton 32

And on the Republican side:

Virginia Republican Primary (SurveyUSA) McCain 48, Huckabee 37, Paul 7
Maryland Republican Primary (SurveyUSA) McCain 52, Huckabee 26, Paul 10

We all still need to get out and vote tomorrow!! Hopefully the crazy evangelicals come out in support of Mike Huckabee too. The longer he stays in this the weaker McCain looks (if that's even possible after the hack job Conservatives have been doing on him) going into the general election.

Two more polls show Obama leading McCain

In case you needed another reason to vote for Barack Obama, here's a look at two recent polls showing Obama leading McCain in a head to head match up:

McCain vs. Obama (Rasmussen) McCain 42, Obama 47, Undecided 11
McCain vs. Obama (Time) McCain 41, Obama 48, Undecided 6

By comparison:
McCain vs. Clinton (Rasmussen) McCain 46, Clinton 43, Undecided 11
McCain vs. Clinton (Time) McCain 46, Clinton 46, Undecided 8

While I have no doubt that both Obama and Clinton could beat McCain, it's still nice to go into it with a lead!

New polls show Obama closing in on Hillary

Barack Obama has essentially erased Hillary Clinton's lead not only in California (where earlier today Maria Shriver made a surprise visit to endorse Obama at a voter rally in Los Angeles), but nationwide as well. Here's a look at some of the polls set to be released tomorrow:

California Democratic Primary (Suffolk): Clinton 39, Obama 40
Democratic Presidential Nomination (USA Today/Gallup): Clinton 45, Obama 44
Democratic Presidential Nomination (CBS News/New York Times): Clinton 41, Obama 41

On the Republican side of things, it's looking more and more like John McCain will be the nominee (that should be interesting, since much of the Republican base loathes him):

Republican Presidential Nomination (USA Today/Gallup): McCain 42, Romney 24
Republican Presidential Nomination (CBS News/New York Times): McCain 46, Romney 23, Huckabee 12

We like you, but we don't like like you!

Via Politico:

As the Democratic presidential hopefuls gather in Los Angeles for a precedent-setting gay-sponsored and -themed debate, new data show that in the key Electoral College states the endorsement of gay rights groups hurts a candidate much more than it helps.

Quinnipiac University polls of voters in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania -- the big three Electoral College swing states -- found voters by large margins more likely to see the endorsement of a gay rights group as a reason to vote against, rather than for, a candidate.

Polls have shown that an increasing number of Americans support equal civil rights for gay Americans, so you know, consider the source (Quinnipiac University).

The Human Rights Campaign is sponsoring a debate between the Democratic candidates tonight from Los Angeles. Vivian Paige has much more info on the event.

Bush falls to a new low

A mere 33 percent of Americans approve of President Bush according to the latest Rasmussen poll, and only 14 percent of the misguided "strongly approve." This from a poll that notoriously puts Bush's approval numbers higher than the national average.

After three straight days at the lowest level ever recorded by Rasmussen Reports, President Bush’s Job Approval ratings slipped another point to another new low on Tuesday.

Just 33% of American adults now Approve of the way that George W. Bush is performing his duties as President. Prior to this past week, the President’s ratings had never slipped below 35% and had only reached that level for a day or two at a time.

The President’s ratings tumble each time immigration reform dominates the news because he loses support among his base—just 66% of Republicans now give him their approval (that matches the lowest level of support he’s ever received from his base). Even as the stock markets set new records, just 36% of investors approve of the President’s performance.

How low can he go!

AP Poll: George W. Bush named biggest villain of 2006

In a new AP poll out tonight, President George Bush received a vote of "Biggest Villain" from 25 percent of Americans. Bush's 25 percent topped Osama bin Laden by three times the percentage points. Saddam Hussein, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, Kim Jong Il and even SATAN received FAR LESS votes than Bush.

As proof of just how polarized the U.S. is right now, thanks mostly to the President himself, Bush also topped the list of biggest heroes in 2006, however he only received 13 percentage points, far less than the 25 he received for biggest villain. The troops in Iraq finished second in the biggest hero category with six percentage points.

For those interested, Oprah Winfrey received "Best Celebrity Role Model" honors with 29 percent of the vote. Oprah was followed by Michael J. Fox with 23 percent, George Clooney with 12 percent, and Angelina Jolie with 8 percent. On the opposite end, Britney Spears was awarded "Worst Celebrity Role Model" with 29 percent of the vote. Spears was followed by Paris Hilton with 18 percent, Mel Gibson with 12 percent, and Tom Cruise with 9 percent.

SeattlePi breaks down the poll by Demographics, for anyone interested.

Allen 44, Webb 52 --SURVEY USA

Survey was conducted of 741 LIKELY VOTERS from November 3 through November 5.

Allen 49, Webb 46 -- Gallup/USA TODAY

Survey was taken from November 1 - November 3 of 916 LIKELY VOTERS.

Allen 49, Webb 49 --Rasmussen

The new Rasmussen poll out today has Allen and Webb tied at 49 percent each. I tend to believe this one a little more than the past couple that have come out in the previous 2 days because unlike those, this one doesn't show ridiculously high numbers of undecideds.

Allen 44, Webb 45 -- Reuters/Zogby

Reuters

Democrats 52, Republicans 34 --CBS/NY Times

Once again, these broad generic polls don't really mean anything, but once again, the 18 percent gap is a new record high for this poll, and 40 percent of those planning to vote November 7 say their vote is a vote AGAINST PRESIDENT BUSH!

ALLEN 45, WEBB 42 --Roanoke College

Not sure what to make of this poll: Small sample size(453), it was conducted from October 22 - October 29, and it has a margin of error +/- 4.6. The poll also shows that still 12 percent of LIKELY VOTERS are undecided. http://www.wdbj7.com/Global/story.asp?S=5618750

NBC/WSJ POLL: Dems 52, Republicans 37

Although these generic congressional ballots don't really mean squat, according to MSNBC the 15 point lead the Democrats hold is tied for largest lead ever in the survey. The poll also showed a slight increase in Bush's approval ratings. http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15497989/
