McCain Catches Up

By Duane Lester • Apr 10th, 2008 • 322 Views

The Democratic battle has allowed John McCain to catch up with his election foes and is now essentially tied with them:

McCain is benefiting from a bounce since he clinched the GOP nomination a month ago. The four-term Arizona senator has moved up in matchups with each of the Democratic candidates, particularly Obama.

An AP-Ipsos poll taken in late February had Obama leading McCain 51-41 percent. The current survey, conducted April 7-9, had them at 45 percent each. McCain leads Obama among men, whites, Southerners, married women and independents.

Clinton led McCain, 48-43 percent, in February. The latest survey showed the New York senator with 48 percent support to McCain’s 45 percent. Factoring in the poll’s margin of error of 3.1 percentage points, Clinton and McCain are statistically tied.

The rest of the article is filled with really interesting statistics and demographics.

It shows that Limbaugh’s “Operation: Chaos” is doing exactly what he wanted it to do. The Dems are beating each other up, while McCain skates around them.
