Highlights of Saturday's Rasmussen Poll Release

"McCain is now trusted more than Obama on nine out of 14 electoral issues tracked by Rasmussen Reports. But perhaps the most interesting finding of this survey is that McCain has expanded his leads on nearly every issue he had previously had the advantage on, while Obama’s leads have diminished over the past two weeks."

"During July, the number of Americans who consider themselves to be Democrats fell to 39.2% while the number of self-identified Republicans stayed at 31.6%. LINK It was the first time since January that the number of Democrats has fallen below 41%."

"Television is the news source of choice for most Americans for information on the 2008 presidential campaign, with local stations having a slight edge over their cable competitors."

"In a separate survey last month, 49% of voters believed that most reporters are trying to help Democratic candidate Barack Obama win the presidency. Only 14% thought they are trying to help Republican John McCain win. Just one voter in four (24%) said most reporters are trying to be unbiased."

Special Note: Marc Ambinder has broadsided Dick Morris and come out strongly against Obama under performing amongst older white women and in favor of McCain under performing amongst white men.
