Obama and McCain tied: 48% for each, says Rasmussen

Three days before the presidential debates are going in a long awaited first round the scenario of election polls couldn't be more undecided: The Rasmussen Report has both candidates tied up, »Barack Obama attracts 48% of the vote and so does John McCain«.

So where did Obama's lead go? Why is he losing ground? Maybe because the last president the American people want right now is one who is going to raise taxes, while Las Vegas presidential betting odds stay just the same? With the presidential debates scheduled to start on Friday night (watch out for biased moderators!) we should soon see some more serious trends in polls. Indeed these debates with the economy as the top issue will have a significant importance since the presidential election race is so tied. Predicting with Nostradamus I'd say that the elder and more experienced one is going to become the polls' favorite over the weekend...

Las Vegas predicts McCain over Obama - The House never loses

Trap: Las Vegas bookmakers have never heard and cared much about Michel de Nostradamus or read my blog, one might think while watching current presidential odds - Barack Obama is the favorite with a 1.57 leading before John McCain's 2.35 right now...


Public bets lose more money than the house: These bookmakers know very well what they're doing and all what their odds can tell us is that they themselves bet on John McCain. Whenever there are any good news for Obama, in politics and polls or just on all Liberals' Huffington Post, Las Vegas odds drop dramatically towards his presidential election win. But when McCain comes out good after a hard day for Obama the same bookmakers seem to have problems to correct betting odds towards reality. Believe it or not: Good old Las Vegas is betting heavily on John McCain to become the next U.S. president!

Election Poll: McCain leads Obama

Senator John S. McCain made an obvious step in the right direction to become the 44th president of the United States and win my bets: The newest USA Today Gallup Poll has him with the momentum from the Republican Party's national convention with 50% in front of Barack Obama's 46% among registered voters.

Does the Republican vice president candidate Sarah Palin (44) win all sympathies? It seems so: In the past week McCain was in another Gallup poll still seven points behind his rival, despite all Nostradamus prophecies. The political scientist Larry Sabato of the University of Virginia called the Republican Party convention a great success, the nomination of Sarah Palin as vice president candidate made a »big difference«. According to the survey 29% of respondents said they would rather vote for McCain in the presidential election on 4th of November because of Sarah Palin; on the other hand only 21% wanted to rethink their support for McCain because of the female governor of Alaska.


In other news:

Oprah Winfrey will not interview Sarah Palin. How biased is that while Obama was a guest in the show twice (until now)?
The New York Post endorses Senator John McCain, while during the primaries that paper supported Obama.
Las Vegas betting odds finally show some change towards reality: Barack Obama 1.57, John McCain 2.30 now.
