So things are looking perhaps a little more positive for M-P, even as the Dow continues to plunge, plunge, plunge. But we don’t want to assume naive optimism.
AP presidential poll: Race tightens in final weeks
Meanwhile, the IBD/TIPP Tracking Poll shows a shrinking of Obama’s lead to 3.7 points. That IBD poll is fascinating in the breakdown. So 44% of those making above $75K are for Obama. Well, those union jobs do pay well these days — if you still have one, that is. I myself am most emphatically not in that income level (note to self: get new unionized job that will drag company down eventually, but pay me well until then). Though if or when I make it there, I’ll prefer to do my charity in private, not strong-armed by the government, thank you.
ANYway, we should note that prior (and even current) polls that have Obama ahead by 7-10 points may be fatally flawed in that their sample is simply too heavily Democrat.
Of course, polls is polls. And true, early voting has gone to Obama, but doesn’t early voting usually go Dem? Regardless, I have a feeling Nov. 4 will be an interesting evening indeed. I will be perhaps secured by Chicago PD and Secret Service in my perch overlooking Obama-palooza.
Though I really cannot fathom the rage of the left should Obama lose. This is of course not saying I want Obama to win. But if we think we saw angry when Bush won in 2000… Katy bar the door (and no, not this Katy! I’m simply not strong enough to withstand the fury and screeching madness that would then descend.)
