ELECTION 2008
Previously published on WorldNetDaily
A new poll shows the winds are changing in this year's election: for the first time since Hillary Clinton conceded her party's presidential nomination to Barack Obama, more Americans now expect Republican John McCain to defeat his Democrat opponent than vice versa.
According to Rasmussen Reports, which conducted the poll, McCain has surged from an 18-point deficit a month ago to a narrow lead over Barack Obama when voters were asked who is likely to win this year's presidential election.
"While McCain's 35 percent to 34 percent edge is statistically insignificant," says the Rasmussen Reports summary of the poll, "it is a remarkable turnaround from a month ago when 46 percent expected an Obama victory versus 28 percent who thought the Republican would win."
A Rasmussen official told WND this was the first time McCain has surpassed Obama since the polling firm began asking Americans who they thought would win the White House.
The survey also showed a dramatic leap in the excitement level Americans feel about the election.
