Rasmussen: More Now Trust McCain Than Obama on Taxes... and the Economy

Just barely. But this is a remarkable shift, and the economy drives the election.

(Duh. I know, huh? Conservative blogger of the year. You know, sometimes articles are frigging so obvious I don't have to write anything, but I still need to write something just for the linking text. So you get gems like that.)

Anyway, it's 48-47 on the economy, 47-45 on taxes. The latter should be a runaway, of course, but here's the thing: Stupid people simply say whichever candidate they're going to vote for, and then say that that candidate is better on all the issues, including the ones he's obviously not better on (like Obama being called better on national security).

So this big shift means that people are, in fact, shifting to McCain.

And that is a contradiction of my first obvious point, in which I said the economy drives the polls, because now I'm saying whatever candidate is favored will have cross-tabs showing a majority of the public favors him on all issues.

They're both true though.

I should have stopped after the first stupid thing.

The point is, it's a good poll. Leave me alone.

I need to go to bed.

Thanks to liberrocky.
