Rasmussen: McCain Post- Convention Bounce Over: Obama pulls ahead (with leaners)

<p>

If you want to put race in it, then our largest counties will all vote Democratic because they are very heavily populated with African-Americans who are voting for Obama at something like 90%.</p>

<p>We continue to vote in Democrats (even the ones who aren’t so great), and we will vote a Democrat into office this time. Trust me. When people get in the polls they will NOT vote for another Republican.</p>

<p>I’ve traveled to many different parts of Michigan this summer, and you just have to believe me that no matter what the polls say, there is no way that all these unemployed people are going to vote for the person that they’ve done so poorly under.</p>

<p>Besides, don’t trust polls of any sort. They say our unemployment rate for Wayne County (where Detroit is) is only like 6-7%. Talk to anybody in power and they will openly admit that it is well into the double-digits.

</p>

<p>I hope you are right. It would be embarrassing for Michigan to vote against their own interests.</p>

<p>Unions destroyed Michigan. Democrats are fine with unions. The suburbs have noticed this.</p>

<p>pugfug, just out of curiosity, where are you from? When’s the last time you lived in Michigan? I’ll say it again, the people of Michigan blame the Republican-Bush Administration for allowing their jobs to be outsourced. Our foreclosure rates are horrific, our unemployment rates are shameful, and people are flocking out of this state. We will NOT vote another Republican into office. I live in a highly Republican area, and yet I know about 4 people in my city who are voting McCain. Why? Because almost every household in my county has been affected in some way by the outsourcing of automotive jobs. Which, whether you want to believe it or not, they blame on the Republicans. Therefore, as I have said before, they will NOT vote for a Republican. Especially one who admits he knows little about the economy.</p>

<p>Don’t you know? John McCain’s the guy next door! And the next one. And the next one. And the next one…</p>

The bounce seems to be alive and well. McCain at 57% chance of victory compared to 29% 1-2 weeks ago. Up from 52% from a couple of days ago. :)</p>
