With less than two weeks left in the presidential contest, Barack Obama continues to hold a commanding double-digit lead over John McCain according to the latest NEWSWEEK Poll. Among registered voters nationwide, Obama now leads McCain by 13 points, 53 percent to 40 percent. Among likely voters, Obama's lead is similarly strong, 53 percent to 41 percent.
Obama's lead in the NEWSWEEK Poll is consistent with other recent national polls, including soundings taken by CBS News and The New York Times, The Washington Post and ABC News, NBC News and The Wall Street Journal and by Pew Research, all of which measured Obama's lead over McCain as somewhere between 10 and 14 points. In the NEWSWEEK Poll, Obama's lead stayed virtually unchanged from two weeks ago, when he led McCain 52 to 41 among registered voters.

It is a long time to wait for what the entire world knows has to happen. It's unbearable!!!!! I am thoroughly gobsmacked that McCain and Co. are even around 41% or so. How anyone could possibly vote for such a despicable ticket is beyond my comprehension. Then again, with such people walking around as Ashley Todd and Sarah Palin, well: I guess it really does take all sorts. Alas. Big hugs.
