Trends…
I thought I’d post some encouragement.
Yesterday, Gallup’s Traditional Likely Voters Daily Tracking Poll tightened to a 2 point race and Rasmussen’s Likely Voters Daily Tracking Poll tightened to a 3 point race.
Today, Fox’s Opinion Dynamics Poll (weekly) tightened to a 3 point race.
So, the importance of those numbers? Well, first of all, they should all be taken with a grain of salt, just like any other poll, favorable or not, because any number of factors can come into play that could skew the results. What this does mean is that the polls are still in flux (Gallup and Rasmussen changed again today), and that this race is very much winnable.
However, each of these polls has its results within the margin of error, which means this race is statistically tied. This race is tightening, and we’re trending toward McCain in these last days.
It’s all thanks to the wisdom of the average American citizen (aka Joe the Plumber), the rest of us are finally seeing “The Real Barack Obama” and his radical and naïve ideas for our future. Obama wants to take money that you have worked hard for and give it freely to whomever he chooses, without any input from you! He wants to grow the government and make it king. Truth is, history has shown that we’re generally better off when government gets out of our lives and lets us control our own destinies, an idea that Obama doesn’t seem to like.
We, as a country, are liking it more and more, however. That same Fox Opinion Dynamics Poll showed McCain’s economic and favorability numbers up dramatically, while Obama’s have been weakening. Those are encouraging facts to consider in this last week. We have five days to save the future of this country.
There are a few things you can do right now to help save America from the throes of socialism.
- Donate today to the National Republican Trust PAC. This group is running hard-hitting ads that tie (rightfully so) Barack Obama to the “Rev.” Jeremiah Wright and tell the truth about Obama’s plan to give the 16 million illegal aliens driver’s licenses, benefits, and eventually amnesty, effectively giving them citizenship for free. They’ve raised 4 million in about three days, but they need about 2 million more to start running these ads in five more states and on national broadcast networks.
- Make Calls for the McCain campaign to encourage undecided voters to vote for the clear choice this November, Senator John McCain. Also, your calls will remind those voters who requested early ballots to turn them in. If they don’t mail them back in by today, there’s a great likelihood that they won’t be received in time to count, and once you’ve requested an early ballot, you cannot vote at the polls in many states.
- Call your local GOP or McCain headquarters and ask how you can help. Many HQs need help stuffing door hanger literature drop bags (my local HQ still needs 6,000 stuffed) and/or calling voters who requested early ballots and still have not voted (in my small Kansas community, there are 2,000 Republicans/Independents leaning Republican who requested early ballots and have not voted [see above]).
- Donate to either the RNC or the McCain-Palin Victory 2008 fund. With Obama not accepting public financing, McCain needs all of the extra support he can muster so his federal funds can be used for get-out-the-vote activities. The RNC is also running some ads on McCain’s behalf, so we need to make sure we support them.
- Pray for a McCain-Palin win. This is perhaps the most important step. I truly believe that they are the best choice for restoring our nation the “shining city on a hill” that Reagan used to talk about (before my time!), but also, I believe they are the best choice for putting our country back on God’s path, and I believe he will bless our prayers. Besides simply praying for their victory, I also pray specifically for McCain wins in West Virginia, North Carolina, Missouri, Colorado, Virginia, Nevada, Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and New Mexico. All but the last two are considered “battleground” states, and the last two I think would be great morale-boosters. Praying specifically against Barack Obama and his deceitfulness and socialism is also a very good idea.
Remember, no matter what these opinion polls say, the only poll that matters is the one taken on November 4th, which means, vote! Take your McCain friends with you and swing this election in favor of capitalism, the free markets, government reform, integrity, and transparency, and true democracy.
Vote McCain-Palin on November 4th.
