McCain Support Continues Downward Spiral

Obama Leads by 19 Among Those Who Have Already Voted

Barack Obama leads John McCain by a 52% to 36% margin in Pew’s latest nationwide survey of 1,325 registered voters. This is the fourth consecutive survey that has found support for the Republican candidate edging down. In contrast, since early October weekly Pew surveys have shown about the same number of respondents saying they back Obama. When the sample is narrowed to those most likely to vote, Obama leads by 53% to 38%.

A breakdown of voting intentions by demographic groups shows that since mid- September, McCain’s support has declined significantly across most voting blocs. Currently, McCain holds a statistically significant advantage only among white evangelical Protestants (aside from Republicans). In addition, Obama runs nearly even with McCain in the so-called red states, all of which George W. Bush won in 2004.

5. There was a McCain "demonstration" in my hometown the other day.
The median by the highway entrance ramp at rush hour is a popular spot for political demonstrators. I was driving by the other day when I saw the following:

One solitary McCain-Palin sign planted in the middle of the strip of grass
Two people, a man and a woman, standing on either side of the sign, tossing two plungers back and forth.

I burst out laughing. Do they have any idea how stupid this looks? They stood a better chance of losing votes for McGramps than gaining any undecideds.
