The ABC/Washington Post poll has Sen. Obama ahead of McCain, 52-43. A nine point lead in a poll that two weeks ago had them 49-47 McCain. Neat.

* Sarah Palin’s unfavorables have increased by 10%

Over the past two weeks, the percentage of independents with favorable views of Palin dropped from 60 percent to 48 percent. Among independent women, the decline was particularly sharp, going from 65 percent to 43 percent. Her favorable rating among whites without college degrees remained largely steady, but among those with college degrees, it dropped nearly 20 percentage points.

* They’re even among white women, with a slight lead among white voters for Sen. McCain

Now, they’ve got to spend money there due to a stronger than expected showing for Sen. Obama.

Elitist?

John McCain is not like us.

When you have seven homes, that’s a lot of garages to fill. After the fuss over the number of residences owned by the two presidential nominees, NEWSWEEK looked into the candidates’ cars. And based on public vehicle-registration records, here’s the score. John and Cindy McCain: 13. Barack and Michelle Obama: one.

John McCain: Like The Way The Banks Are Going? Lets Do It To Health Care!

Via Paul Krugman, comes this awesome bit of wisdom from Maverick^TM in the current issue of Contingencies magazine.

Opening up the health insurance market to more vigorous nationwide competition, as we have done over the last decade in banking, would provide more choices of innovative products less burdened by the worst excesses of state-based regulation.

That’s right kids, just like he wants to privatize social security in order for the retirement of seniors to be subjected to the gyrations we’ve seen on Wall Street, John McCain thinks we ought to make the health care system even worse by imitating the banking meltdown.

Gallup: 47% Obama 45% McCain. It’s worth noting that post-convention McCain never hit 50% as Obama did. All is apparently not lost. Heh.

At least in the primetime speeches anybody notice that the GOP seems to have forgotten all about the killer issue that was supposed to revive the party? That is, immigration? Or perhaps they decided the bleeding among hispanic voters was getting out of control. My guess is thats a genie they can’t put back in the bottle and they may have lost out on a killer demographic for a decade.
