Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain has steadily increased since mid-September, when the race was essentially even. Shortly after the first presidential debate on Sept. 26, Obama moved to a 49% to 42% lead; that margin inched up to 50% to 40% in a poll taken just after the second debate. Currently, Obama enjoys his widest margin yet over McCain among registered voters, at 52% to 38%. When the sample of voters is narrowed to those most likely to vote, Obama leads by 53% to 39%.

Unfortuantely that still does not sit well with a group of people who are now spreading the incredulous rumor that Obama is not a US Citizen. I am only the messenger. They believe that Obama has money in FactCheck.org. Not true. They report the truth in Obama’s statements too, not just McCain.

I guess what we have to realize is that people will believe what they want to believe. There are always those who choose to mistrust the mainstream and look for the bad stuff. Hopefully these people are not in the mainstream and continue to contribute to all of ours, and our country’s well being, for that is the ultimate goal in assuring all US citizens are able to express their rights, their votes.
