Investors Business Daily is now putting out a daily tracking poll of the Presidential race. They were the most accurate poll of the 2004 race. As of today, IBD has McCain down just 1.1 points. The poll has McCain having closed from a 7 point deficit just since last weekend. As interesting as that gap close is, I’m more interested in another stat.
I thought the MSM has been telling us about all of the excited, first time to vote college students. People who were part of the millions that were newly registered Democrats. People that were already standing outside of polling places to make sure they would get a chance to vote for “The One.” Isn’t that what the great wildcard is for Barack; whether the youth, who have never come out in droves before, will turn off their Wiis, put down their beers and vote?
If the youth are the great hope for Barack, can someone explain how the IBD poll shows 18-24 year olds breaking for John McCain 74% to 22% for Barack Obama?
Watch the next 10 days folks. The MSM story lines don’t seem to always be aligned with the poll internals. There is something that just isn’t smelling right across most of these polls. It could be a wild 10 days.
