peHUB Presidential Poll Results
The collective you likes Barack Obama. You really, really like him (well, at least in comparison to John McCain). Over 2,200 readers participated in our final presidential poll before the election, and Obama topped McCain by a margin of 54% to 35 percent. This is a massive jump from our prior poll in July, when Obama led just 41% to 40% among decided readers, and 50% to 48% when leaners were included (leaners this time split evenly). It is also a much wider gap than we saw back in 2004, when readers narrowly picked George Bush over John Kerry (note: yesterday’s reader sample favored Kerry in that election by 2 percentage points). Before getting into the nitty-gritty, let me stress that this poll is totally unscientific. It’s a self-selected snapshot of Wire/peHUB readers who, on average are: Men between the ages of 18-49, who make between $100,000 and $350,000 per year and who live in major metropolitan areas. But, to reiterate, we polled the same demographic back in July, and it was much, much closer. Get full results after the jump.
