Obama 50%, McCain 41% in new Marist poll

(More from the horserace - promoted by Eric B.)

In a poll taken entirely after the conservative economic ideology blew up all over the world, Obama is up by 9 against the champion of government deregulation, John McCain.

As Hank Paulson and the Bush administration try to ram this taxpayer fleecing scam during this period of man-made economic crisis, McCain is running around screaming for regulation. Except is't the kind of regulation that shifts more public wealth to the private sector. The GOP should simply replace taxes with interest payments paid directly to the banks.

Gaspare :: Obama 50%, McCain 41% in new Marist poll
Democrat Barack Obama Leads Republican John McCain by 9 Percentage Points in the Wake of Nation’s Economic Crisis: In a survey conducted entirely after this week’s economic crisis hit, Senator Barack Obama leads Senator John McCain -- 50% to 41% -- among Michigan’s registered voters. Obama maintains his lead among the state’s likely voters including those who are undecided yet leaning toward a specific candidate. 52% of likely voters say they favor Obama compared with 43% who back McCain. Most likely Republican voters -- 93% -- support John McCain. A similar proportion of likely Democrats -- 92% -- support their party’s candidate. 57% of likely Independent voters back Barack Obama compared with 35% who support McCain.

77% of Obama's voters are indicating that they will not change thier vote.  Hopefully, this will continue to strengthen and McCain will abandon the state before mid-October.
