I alluded to it in the last post, but there were some very interesting numbers (warning, PDF) in it that require a second look. I still maintain that national polls aren't all that important, but it does highlight some forming trends.
The overall:
Obama: 52
McCain: 43
Stronger Leader:
Obama: 47%
McCain: 46%
Understands Economic Problems:
Obama: 57%
McCain: 33%
Among white women:
Obama: 49% (43%)
McCain: 47% (54%)
White Catholics:
Obama 47% (38%)
McCain 46% (57%)
Married women:
Obama: 51% (42%)
McCain: 46% (53%)
Independents:
Obama: 53% (42%)
McCain: 39% (52%)
In a further sign that McCain's post-convention and post-Palin bounce has completely evaporated, look at the enthusiasm gap:
The number of McCain supporters who describe themselves as “very enthusiastic” about his candidacy rose 18 points to 46 percent after his convention. Today it’s subsided to 34 percent, while a steady and far greater number of Obama’s supporters remain very enthusiastic about their candidate, 62 percent.
But, uh...that's all bad news for Obama! You see, uh, if he has an enthusiastic base, that means that they're all Kool-Aid drinking ELITISTS who follow around the Obamessiah!
