Gallup Daily: Obama’s Lead Widens

PRINCETON, NJ -- The political landscape could be improving for Barack Obama in the waning days of the campaign. Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Oct. 28-30 shows him with an eight percentage point lead over John McCain among traditional likely voters -- 51% to 43% -- his largest margin to date using this historical Gallup Poll voter model.

Since Tuesday, McCain's support among traditional likely voters has dropped by four points (from 47% to 43%), Obama's has risen by two points (from 49% to 51%), and the percentage of undecided voters has increased from 4% to 6%.

I skimmed a couple of winger threads and saw some of the cockiness turning to fear.

Fear is a surprisingly (to me at least) prominent response among the patriot cohort, in my experience. It's not an emotion with which I have much experience so I tend to be bewildered by it. I just didn't expect it there.

Let 'em be afraid- according to recent psychological studies it appears that some people are just built that way, so let them quake in their booties. The rest of us may (finally) be able to get on with our lives without them. The timorous CAN stay at home :-) (to broadly quote Jutice Cardozo)
