According to a Rasmussen Reports poll released today, John McCain has made substantial progress on the issues of the economy and taxes. He now leads his wealth-redistribution supporting opponent on the issue of the economy. 48% favor McCain while 47% favor his opponent. It is the first time that McCain has led on this issue since the middle of September.
On the issue of taxes, 47% favor the war-hero Senator from Arizona, while 45% favor the socialist Senator from Illinois.
These results are important for two reasons. The first reason is that, in both national and state polling, we see a strong correlation between the percentage who prefer one candidate on the economy, and the percentage who favor the same candidate overall.
The second reason, and most ominous for those who favor Senator Redistribution, is that the poll was conducted on October 25 and October 26, before the release of the Chicago radio interview.

Dear God let these numbers hold…
October 30th, 2008 at 12:18 am
If there is one poll from any organization showing McCain tied with or winning the election, then that could seal the deal, truly. Independents and undecided voters who were leaning towards McCain but voting for Obama under the idea of “he is going to win anyways” will then go back to McCain. We may even be ahead in one poll before Election Day.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:20 am
Please get a TV ad out that starts with Joe the Plumber and uses the radio clip as well. Combine that with Obama’s promise to lower taxes and the fact that he promised IL voters the same thing only to vote for higher taxes 94 times including on people earning just $42,000.
How can you trust Obama on taxes when wants to redistribute your hard earned money and when he has already voted to raise taxes on people earning just $42,000.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:23 am
If McCain leads on the economy, we’ll win the election.
Joe the Plumber better get a cabinet position, Secretary of Labor would be good. McCain owes him huge if he wins this thing.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:25 am
Great! Forget about the LA Times tape — we already have a “tape” that is just as damaging.
This audio clip needs to be heard by every American.
Maybe McCain can shut down the networks for 5 minutes and just play this clip.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:29 am
And yet Obama maintains his lead. He’s going to win big.
I’m going to laugh so hard when you guys are crying on Election Day.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:31 am
Seriously, why isn’t this the shock headline on Drudge?! “McCain trusted more on economy and taxes” from a national poll is a game changer!

Enjoying the MSNBC-Obama koolaid? You will need a lot of it to drown out your sorrows after we woop Barack Obama’s ass on November 4th!
October 30th, 2008 at 12:33 am
6: Big S, Obama cannot win if voters trust McCain more on the economy. Period. McCain was ahead in the polls before the economic collapse, then he tanked when Obama’s economy numbers went through the roof. McCain has maintained his lead on issues of national security and “readiness to lead”. The war has always been split by party. It’s the economy, stupid. If other polls confirm McCain ahead on taxes and the economy, I have zero doubt he will win.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:39 am
McCain also leads him on social security 45% to 44%!!!! That’s incredible. Since when does a Republican EVER lead with voters on social security!? If McCain overtakes Obama on domestic issues and the economy, what is there left to support Obama for?
October 30th, 2008 at 12:43 am
Getting nervous big s? Will you have the guts to come back on November 5th?
October 30th, 2008 at 12:46 am
Senator Redistribution?
You mean Senator Government?
October 30th, 2008 at 12:47 am
Joe the Plumber = domestic Petraeus
On the brink of obliteration, John McCain awakenes, the old soldier now beyond doubt. His beleaguered troops sense a change in the winds, the unmistakable glimmer of triumph. The wheels of fate turn once more… racing against time itself.
It’s the stuff of legend, folks, but America’s history has always been the stuff of legend. Let’s pray that history comes back for another on next Tuesday. No one but John McCain himself could pull this off now.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:47 am
If McCain really is more trusted on the economy by the time Nov. 4th rolls around, he might just win this in spite of himself. It all comes down to Virginia and Colorado (and Pennsylvania, if there’s really a ‘there’ there).
October 30th, 2008 at 12:49 am
It’s the stuff of legend, folks, but America’s history has always been the stuff of legend. Let’s pray that history comes back for another on next Tuesday. No one but John McCain himself could pull this off now.
If John McCain wins this, his life narrative will be written in stone: the n’er-give-up, come-back-from-behind war hero maverick. He’s always coming back from behind, from being a POW to being President.
And if he loses, it’ll be: his luck just ran out.

That is very true. I still feel though that NH will vote for McCain. It is the state that launched him into national politics in 2000 and saved his campaign this January. If there is one state will thumb its nose at Obama because McCain is McCain, then New Hampshire would be the one to do it.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:55 am

Take a look at the state polls. Obama’s up by 20 in New Hampshire, more than 10 in PA, by about 6 in Ohio, about 4 in Florida, about 7 in Colorado, about 8 in Virginia … the list goes on and on. What you’re seeing here is McCain running up big numbers in deep red states and Obama’s lead diminishing in deep blue states where he’s not advertising. The battlegrounds, except maybe NC and MO, show no signs of movement towards McCain. I’ll remind the class that this election turns on who can meet 270 electoral votes.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:57 am
I have to agree with Big S here. While we are seeing some natural closing in McCain’s direction, he is still going to lose. McCain led on the economy three days ago, but three days ago, McCain was 5-points down in Rasmussen tracking. McCain has been practically shut out of CO and VA, two crucial and must win states for McCain.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:57 am

Please don’t tell me that you believed that bogus New Hampshire outlier?
People on this site are picking and choosing data that they like. Don’t fall into the same trap.
There’s also a solid case to be made that the party ID is way off in the polls.
I think that Obama will win, but it’s beyond stupid to pretend that he’s going to win those states by those numbers, barring a massive landslide, which ain’t happenin’.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:58 am
You can’t have a 4-point national lead but an 8-point lead in Colorado and Virginia. The numbers just don’t add up. Either the state polls or the national polls or wrong, and I’m far more willing to bet that the state polls are, looking at the party ID breakdown.
October 30th, 2008 at 12:59 am
19: He doesn’t need to win NH or PA, that’s a red herring. Assuming these national numbers are distributive (excuse the term)for all the states, McCain should overtake leads in the red swing states in a few days. And that’s all he needs.
October 30th, 2008 at 1:02 am

First of all, it’s not an outlier. There are two polls showing 18 points and 24 points, respectively. Highly unlikely that they’re both way off.
Second, it’s entirely possible that national polls are very different from battleground state polls. There’s really no reason to believe that states like CO and VA are going to be close to the national mean when they are major battlegrounds where one campaign is dumping incredible amounts of resources. States go from red to blue, or vice versa, from time to time. It’s not unusual at all. What was unusual was the stability of the closely-divided electoral map through both of G.W. Bush’s elections. In case you haven’t noticed, we have new candidates this year.

I just have a hard time believing that Virginia will have a 16-point swing. Color me skeptical. From being +8 for the Republican in 2004, having a +3 R party advantage in 2006…to being +8 for the Democratic candidate in 2008 and having a +7 D party advantage? Honestly. I’m not buying it. If I’m wrong, I’m wrong, but I just don’t see it.

SENATOR BARAK OBAMA, WHAT IS REDISTRIBUTING THE WEALTH?
To me it is a form of legally stealing. People who are in the higher bracket of income “pays” higher taxes and that is a fact! When a person pays a minimum of 63% in taxes and then you want to add an additional tax on everyone who earns more than $250,000.00 in addition to what we already pay, you are a “socialist,” disguised in “sheep” clothing of attempting to have believe that you care about people. Senator Obama, you don’t care about anyone except Senator Obama and his “your next” ambition in life. I believe in “giving people a helping hand, what you are advocating is giving people a hand-out!” When people do that, they take the very last ounce of pride out the one accepting the “hand-out,” and they loose all hope!
You have a half brother living in Kenya in horrendous poverty. You have made millions on the books you wrote and both you and your wife have made a very good living and I am happy for you. Exactly how have you helped him? But yet you pretend that you are for the “common person,” well, you have fallen below the lowest bar anyone can fall! You did not like “Joe the Plumber question,” and more than likely you regret your answer. But I believe your answer was not an error because that is what you have believed and continue to believe. Just look at your statement about the Civil Rights Movement! So what did you do! The next day on the campaign trail you “laughed” at Joe the Plumber, just like when you went to San Francisco and told your rich friends that small town people are angry and that is why they cling to their religion and guns. It is the small town people that elect The President of The United States, and don’t you ever forget that!
I have been on the side of the Democratic Party since 1970, but after looking at what that Party stands for today, it would be a “sad” day for America and the world, if you, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid were given the opportunity to do as you please!
Remember Jimmy Cliff song; “The harder they come, the harder they fall!” You have set yourself up as “Messiah Obama” in saying you feel a righteous wind at your back, and perhaps you feel justified in making all of the statements and claims you have made.
But I promise you that on November 4th when all of the votes are counted, you will find out “what it is to fall from grace.” I do not wish this for you, but God has blessed you and as such, God has also said “There is always a haughty look before a great fall!” When this happens I hope you will look up and find exactly who Barak Obama is, and in your silence and solitude, you may find yourself and find that “special” oneness with God!

Why do we put up with Big S. anymore? I don’t have a problem with allowing some people from the other camp on the site, but since this is a Republican site devoted to Republican victory in the election they ought to show some respect to our side – Big S. has crossed the line of respectful disagreement to being an arrogant jerk, I say we let him go do his thing on DKOS.

Well, those are older polls, ending on the 23rd. The poll from the 25th has it at O+11, and the ones ending on the 26th and 28th have it at O+18 and O+24, respectively. It’s called a trend, and a drastic one at that. About 2/3 of the movement came as a result of McCain’s number dropping, but about 1/3 came as a result of Obama’s number rising. That margin will shrink as the election comes back to about 55/45 by election day, but it’s unrealistic to call the two huge margins outliers.

So, uh, we’re supposed to believe that there was something astronomical from the 24th to the 26th that made Obama gain 20 points? Please!
October 30th, 2008 at 2:23 am
#23 To boot, with Rasmussen showing Obama increasing to a 27 point lead in California on Monday and the Siena Research Institute poll showing that Obama incresing to a 31 point lead in NY state on Tuesday, and with Rasmussen showing Obama with only a 3 point national lead on Wednesday, it should mean that McCain is doing far better in the battleground states than he had been doing since California and NY state are two of the most populous states of the Union and tend to distort the overall vote count.

All in all folks. This is good news for McCain it really is. However, it is one poll one. We are hoping that this poll is right and others are wrong. We are hopping that a Ramss poll people last week called not illeg and false is right. We are hoping that the Ramss poll shows McCain a point ahead on the economy and the others that show him behind is the saviour of the polls.
Untill the electoral college changes I mean changes to a point where it shows with them both having 250- 270 each respectively, then I will reserve judement.
The race is won here remember not by the pop vote Bush 2000. Therefore, to really get excited is to wait and see how the states play out. All of the state polls could be wrong except the ones that have McCain ahead or tied I guess as some people say on here.
The more intersting numbers that I think McCain needs to work closing on are. In the Rocky Mt states he trails Hispanics by 25-30points that has to change or he is danger of losing two of them. With women he is in the mid teens behind, which has to change.
Then like it or not we have to see what temp bounce Obama gets from his commercial last night. It seems like that always happens and then goes away, question is is there enough time.
I see McCain making gains but is there enough time. If it was a month or two weeks out I would say sure but now…………we will just have to see
October 30th, 2008 at 9:59 am
I am posting this letter. A letter which says it all. It was written by a guy in texas. Sorry I cant put it in a link form. its long, but worth every sentence.
Mr. Obama,
Given the uproar about the simple question asked you by Joe the plumber, and the persecution that has been heaped on him because he dared to question you, I find myself motivated to say a few things to you myself. While Joe aspires to start a business someday, I already have started not one, but 4 businesses. But first, let me introduce myself. You can call me ‘Cory the well driller’. I am a 54 year old high school graduate. I didn’t go to college like you, I was too ready to go ‘conquer the world’ when I finished high school. 25 years ago at age 29, I started my own water well drilling business at a time when the economy here in East Texas was in a tailspin from the crash of the early 80′s oil boom. I didn’t get any help from the government, nor did I look for any. I borrowed what I could from my sister, my uncle, and even the pawn shop and managed to scrape together a homemade drill rig and a few tools to do my first job. My businesses did not start as a result of privilege. They are the result of my personal drive, personal ambition, self discipline, self reliance, and a determination to treat my customers fairly. From the very start my business provided one other (than myself) East Texan a full time job. I couldn’t afford a backhoe the first few years (something every well drilling business had), so I and my helper had to dig the mud pits that are necessary for each and every job with hand shovels. I had to use my 10 year old, 1/2 ton pickup truck for my water tank truck (normally a job for at least a 2 ton truck).
A year and a half after I started the business, I scraped together a 20% down payment to get a modest bank loan and bought a (28 year) old, worn out, slightly bigger drilling rig to allow me to drill the deeper water wells in my area. I spent the next few years drilling wells with the rig while simultaneously rebuilding it between jobs. Through these years I never knew from one month to the next if I would have any work or be able to pay the bills. I got behind on my income taxes one year, and spent the next two years paying that back (with penalty and interest) while keeping up with ongoing taxes. I got behind on my water well supply bill 2 different years (way behind the second time… $80,000.00), and spent over a year paying it back (each time) while continuing to pay for ongoing supplies C.O.D.. Of course, the personal stress endured through these experiences and years is hard to measure. I do have a stent in my heart now to memorialize it all.
I spent the next 10 years developing the reputation for being the most competent and most honest water well driller in East Texas. 2 years along the way, I hired another full time employee for the drilling business so that we could provide full time water well pump service as well as the well drilling. Also, 3 years along the path, I bought a water well screen service machine from a friend, starting business # 2. 5 years later I made a business loan for $100,000.00 to build a new, higher production, computer controlled screen service machine. I had designed the machine myself, and it didn’t work out for 3 years so I had to make the loan payments without the benefit of any added income from the new machine. No government program was there to help me with the payments, or to help me sleep at night as I lay awake wondering how I would solve my machine problems or pay my bills. Finally, after 3 years, I got the screen machine working properly, and that provided another full time job for an East Texan in the screen service business.
2 years after that, I made another business loan, this time for $250,000.00, to buy another used drilling rig and all the support equipment needed to run another, larger, drill rig. This provided another 2 full time jobs for East Texans. Again, I spent a couple of years not knowing if I had made a smart move, or a move that would bankrupt me. For the third time in 13 years, I had placed everything I owned on the line, risking everything, in order to build a business.
A couple of years into this, I came up with a bright idea for a new kind of mud pump, a fundamentally necessary pump used on water well drill rigs. I spent my entire life savings to date (just $30,000.00), building a prototype of the pump and took it to the national water well convention to show it off. Customers immediately started coming out of the woodworks to buy the pumps, but there was a problem. I had depleted my assets making the prototype, and nobody would make me a business loan to start production of the new pumps. With several deposits for pump orders in hand, and nowhere to go, I finally started applying for as many credit card as I could find and took cash withdrawals on these cards to the tune of over $150,000.00 (including modest loans from my dear sister and brother), to get this 3rd business going.
Yes, once again, I had everything hanging over the line in an effort to start another business. I had never manufactured anything, and I had to design and bring into production a complex hydraulic machine from an untested prototype to a reliable production model (in six months). How many nights I lay awake wondering if I had just made the paramount mistake of my life I cannot tell you, but there were plenty. I managed to get the pumps into production, which immediately created another 2 full time jobs in East Texas. Some of the models in the first year suffered from quality issues due to the poor workmanship of one of my key suppliers, so I and an employee (another East Texan employed) had to drive across the country to repair customers’ pumps, practically from coast to coast. I stood behind the product, and made payments to all the credit cards that had financed me (and my brother and sister). I spent the next 5 years improving and refining the product, building a reputation for the pump and the company, working to get the pump into drill rig manufacturers’ product lines, and paying back credit cards. During all this time I continued to manage a growing water well business that was now operating 3 drill rig crews, and 2 well service crews. Also, the screen service business continued to grow. No government programs were there to help me, Mr. Obama, but that’s ok, I didn’t expect any, nor did I want any. I was too busy fighting to make success happen to sit around waiting for the government to help me.
Now, we have been manufacturing the mud pumps for 7 years, my combined businesses employ 32 full time employees, and distribute $5,000,000.00 annually through the local economy. Now, just 4 months ago I borrowed $1,254,000.00, purchasing computer controlled machining equipment to start my 4th business, a production machine shop. The machine shop will serve the mud pump company so that we can better manufacture our pumps that are being shipped worldwide. Of course, the machine shop will also do work for outside companies as well. This has already produced 2 more full time jobs, and 2 more should develop out of it in the next few months. This should work out, but if it doesn’t it will be because you, and the other professional politicians like yourself, will have destroyed our countrys’ (and the world) economy with your meddling with mortgage loan programs through your liberal manipulation and intimidation of loaning institutions to make sure that unqualified borrowers could get mortgages. You see, at the very time when I couldn’t get a business loan to get my mud pumps into production, you were working with Acorn and the Community Reinvestment Act programs to make sure that unqualified borrowers could buy homes with no down payment, and even no credit or worse yet, bad credit. Even the infamous, liberal, Ninja loans (No Income, No Job or Assets). While these unqualified borrowers were enjoying unrealistically low interest rates, I was paying 22% to 24% interest on the credit cards that I had used to provide me the funds for the mud pump business that has created jobs for more East Texans. It’s funny, because after 25 years of turning almost every dime of extra money back into my businesses to grow them, it has been only in the last two years that I have finally made enough money to be able to put a little away for retirement, and now the value of that has dropped 40% because of the policies you and your ilk have perpetrated on our country.
You see, Mr. Obama, I’m the guy you intend to raise taxes on. I’m the guy who has spent 25 years toiling and sweating, fretting and fighting, stressing and risking, to build a business and get ahead. I’m the guy who has been on the very edge of bankruptcy more than a dozen times over the last 25 years, and all the while creating more and more jobs for East Texans who didn’t want to take a risk, and would not demand from themselves what I have demanded from myself. I’m the guy you characterize as ‘the Americans who can afford it the most’ that you believe should be taxed more to provide income redistribution ‘to spread the wealth’ to those who have never toiled, sweated, fretted, fought, stressed, or risked anything. You want to characterize me as someone who has enjoyed a life of privilege and who needs to pay a higher percentage of my income than those who have bought into your entitlement culture. I resent you, Mr. Obama, as I resent all who want to use class warfare as a tool to advance their political career. What’s worse, each year more Americans buy into your liberal entitlement culture, and turn to the government for their hope of a better life instead of themselves. Liberals are succeeding through more than 40 years of collaborative effort between the predominant liberal media, and liberal indoctrination programs in the public school systems across our land.
What is so terribly sad about this is this. America was made great by people who embraced the one-time American culture of self reliance, self motivation, self determination, self discipline, personal betterment, hard work, risk taking. A culture built around the concept that success was in reach of every able bodied American who would strive for it. Each year that less Americans embrace that culture, we all descend together. We descend down the socialist path that has brought country after country ultimately to bitter and unremarkable states. If you and your liberal comrades in the media and school systems would spend half as much effort cultivating a culture of can-do across America as you do cultivating your entitlement culture, we could see Americans at large embracing the conviction that they can elevate themselves through personal betterment, personal achievement, and self reliance. You see, when people embrace such ideals, they act on them. When people act on such ideals, they succeed. All of America could find herself elevating instead of deteriorating. But that would eliminate the need for liberal politicians, wouldn’t it, Mr. Obama? The country would not need you if the country was convinced that problem solving was best left with individuals instead of the government. You and all your liberal comrades have got a vested interested in creating a dependent class in our country. It is the very business of liberals to create an ever expanding dependence on government. What’s remarkable is that you, who have never produced a job in your life, are going to tax me to take more of my money and give it to people who wouldn’t need my money if they would get off their entitlement mentality asses and apply themselves at work, demand more from themselves, and quit looking to liberal politicians to raise their station in life.
You see, I know because I’ve had them work for me before. Hundreds of them over these 25 years. People who simply will not show up to work on time. People who just will not work 5 days in a week, much less, 6 days. People always looking for a way to put less effort out. People who actually tell me that they would do more if I just would first pay them more. People who take off work to sit in government offices to apply to get free government handouts (gee, I wonder how things would have turned out for them if they had spent that time earning money and pleasing their employer?). You see, all of this comes from your entitlement mentality culture.
Oh, I know you will say I am uncompassionate. Sorry, Mr. Obama, wrong again. You see, I’ve seen what the average percentage of your income has been given to charities over the years of 2000 to 2004 (ignoring the years you started running for office – can you pronounce ‘politically motivated’), you averaged less than 1% annually. And your running mate, Joe Biden, averaged less than ¼% of his annual income in charitable contributions over the last 10 years. Like so many liberals, the two of you want to give to the needy, just as long as it is someone else’s money you are giving to them. I won’t say what I have given to charities over the last 25 years, but the percentage is several times more than you and Joe Biden… combined (don’t you just hate goggle?). Tell me again how you feel my pain.
In short, Mr. Obama, your political philosophies represent everything that is wrong with our country. You represent the culture of government dependence instead of self reliance; Entitlement mentality instead of personal achievement; Penalization of the successful to reward the unmotivated; Political correctness instead of open mindedness and open debate. If you are successful, you may preside over the final transformation of America from being the greatest and most self-reliant culture on earth, to just another country of whiners and wimps, who sit around looking to the government to solve their problems. Like all of western Europe. All countries on the decline. All countries that, because of liberal socialistic mentalities, have a little less to offer mankind every year.
God help us…
Cory Miller
Just an ordinary, extraordinary American, the way a lot of Americans used to be.
P.S. Yes, Mr. Obama, I am a real American…

SINCE THEY’RE TOO MUCH OF A STRETCH TO STEAL, IOWA AND COLORADO WILL STAY BLUE.
ROVE WILL FUCK OVER NEW MEXICO AND NEVADA TO CODE THEM RED…AND THE FINAL SQUEAKER WILL COME DOWN TO –VIRGINIA–. THAT’S RIGHT. MARK MY WORDS.
VIRGINIA WILL GO –INTO– THE EVENING AS A SWING STATE, NOT A BLUE-LEANING STATE AS EXPECTED. AND AFTER A NECK-AND-NECK FIXED “CONTEST,” MCCAIN WILL “PULL IT OUT” AT THE NIGHT’S END…EVEN THOUGH IT WAS FIXED BY THAT SHIT-FACE-TURD-BLOSSOM-SHITPIECE-ON-A-STRING KARL ROVE.
IT’S ALL –VIRGINIA– THIS YEAR FOLKS.
MARK…MY…WORRRRRRRRRDS!!!!!…
