Watching the Polls

BREAKING: Good journalism costs money.
And we need a lot of both right now. We’re short of our August goal of $163,000 in online donations, and it’s not going to get any easier next month when election noise and news will be even louder. You know what’s at stake. And you know Mother Jones is up for it. Will you pitch in now so we can do our best work?

We need to raise $163,000 before the month ends and the election noise and news get louder. You know what’s at stake. And you know Mother Jones is up for it. Please help if you can.

WATCHING THE POLLS….I sometimes feel a little guilty for not posting poll results more often, but I figure you hardly need me for that, do you? Still, we’re down to the wire and it’s worth seeing the big picture of public opinion as the race careens to its end. And the big picture is….no change. In the RCP poll of polls, Barack Obama is still way ahead of John McCain.
