Diageo/Hotline Tracking Poll: The Case That They Fav Me
Barack Obama and Joe Biden today took their first lead in the week-old Diageo/Hotline tracking poll. Obama/Biden now lead John McCain and Sarah Palin 45-44% -- a 3% swing from McCain/Palin's 46-44% lead one day ago. The Dem ticket's increases since yesterday where driven mainly by gains among women and Inds.
Obama/Biden now lead women by 8%, rebuilding a gender gap which had nearly disappeared with their 2% lead in yesterday's release. McCain/Palin meanwhile lead men by 9%, up from their 7% margin on 9/10.
Among Inds, the GOP ticket's lead declined steadily throughout the week and now stands at 6%. That single-digit margin is just half of their 12% lead in yesterday's release and a fraction of their 19% advantage on 9/8. Both tickets remained relatively constant among Dems and GOPers.
McCain's fav ratings also changed significantly among Inds. The GOP nominee dropped from a 64% fav rating on 9/10 to 57% on 9/11; at the same time, his unfav jumped from 29% to 35%. McCain's favs among Inds had been as high as 68% on 9/8.
Today's survey, conducted 9/9-11 by FD, is the fifth daily installment tracking the two tickets. Party ID breakdown for the 913 RV sample is 42%D, 35%R, 20%I. The data carries a margin of error of +/- 3.2%.

Interesting how hotline, rasmussen, and gallup, all seem to be heading different directions. That indicates lots of undecided and/or fickle voters.
America has had enough of Republicans!
GO OBAMA-BIDEN...ALL THE WAY!

This is because like me they realized that to vote for MCcain is a mistake just because we are pissed at the DNC for not defending Hillary while she was treated so badly.
MCcain and Palin are more of the same liars that we have dealt with for 8 years!
I will proudly cast for Obama/Biden.
As women we have the power to make a difference!
Remember what Hillary said:
Every day spent looking back is a day we are not moving forward.
