August 24, 2008 Rasmussen: Biden a Lukewarm ChoiceRasmussen polled Democrats about the choice of Joe Biden as running mate and found rather tepid support for the Delaware senator. Just 39% supported the decision while 25% thought Biden was a bad choice and fully 35% weren't sure - not much of a ringing endorsement from the party faithful to be sure. What's more, a bare majority of women supported the decision. This is a reflection of many Democratic women's belief that Hillary Clinton was disrespected by the Obama campaign when they didn't vet or consult her on the choice. Meanwhile, a new Washington Post poll shows the race in pretty much of a holding pattern: Democrat Barack Obama and Republican John McCain are locked in a highly competitive race for the White House, with voters giving McCain a clear edge as a potential commander in chief but Obama a sizable advantage on economic issues, the subject of greatest concern to voters, according to a new Washington Post-ABC News poll.
That poll is virtually unchanged from July's numbers. Meanwhile, Quinnipiac has come out with a Colorado poll that shows the race dead even in that state. While Colorado has been a reliable Republican bastion in the past, demographic changes in the last decade has made any statewide race there very competitive. Currently, McCain leads Obama 46-44 after trailing Obama last month 49-45. Once again, we see Obama falling back rather than McCain gaining much ground. More voters are in the undecided column as a result. It will be interesting to watch Rasmussen's daily tracking polls this week to see how much support Obama gets during the Democratic Convention in Denver. |
