Obama Loses Ground, ABC Hides Poll
By Dan | October 1, 2008
Last week Obama was up by nine in the ABC/Washington Post poll and it was front page news. This week Obama is up by 4, within 1 point of the margin of error and the poll cannot be found. Instead the story is Bush’s approval rating which finds a new low in this poll.
Interestingly the internals of the poll are difficult to find. I have been unable to find the party ID of those polled. I don’t image there was much change from last week when the poll was heavily skewed toward Obama.
McCain’s gains this week come on the economy where is plus three and Obama is down 3 for a 6 point swing. McCain also gained 10 points on who could better work across party lines, where he is now only 3 points behind Obama. This is evidence that McCain’s strategy of going to Washington to work on the economic crisis may yet pay off.

New ABC News/Washington Post national poll conducted after the debate (Sept 27-29) shows that John McCain has picked up 5 points on Barack Obama during the last week, moving from a nine-point deficit to trailing by four:
Obama 50 (-2 vs. last poll Sept 19-22)
McCain 46 (+3)

[...] En cada convocatoria de Presidenciales en Estados Unidos el arte de la encuesta se perfecciona hasta alcanzar cotas de arte renacentista. Desde los activistas que votan masivamente por internet para manipular las encuestas online, hasta los medios de comunicación que ocultan sus propias encuentas cuando lo les gustan y a cambio dan la….
