Most voters think Obama will win: poll

Sen. Barack Obama may be virtually tied with Sen. John McCain in Gallup's national tracking poll which seeks to gauge which candidate voters support.

But when Gallup asked voters who they believe will win the White House in November, the Democratic senator from Illinois has a clear advantage over his Republican Senate colleague from Arizona.

As Gallup reports:

PRINCETON, NJ -- Not only has Barack Obama recently opened a small lead over John McCain in Gallup Poll Daily tracking of voter preferences for the general election, but he leads McCain 52% to 41% in public perceptions of who will win in November.

Reporting today on the results of a survey taken June 9-12, Gallup reports that "Democrats are slightly more confident that their presumptive nominee will prevail in November - 76 percent say Obama will win.'' Republicans are more bullish about McCain's chances -- 67 percent.

The likely outcome of the November election will be that Obama will win the Presidency and the Democrats will have massive majorities both Congress and the Minnesota Legislature.

My predictions are thus:
Obama = President
US House = 350 Democrats (out of 435)
US Senate = 75 Democrats (out of 100)
MN House = 100 Democrats (ou of 134)
MN Senate = 55 Democrats (out of 67)

Assuming my predictions come true, I'm curious

What will Vox Verax have to talk about? Their favorite whipping boys George Bush and Dick Cheney will be out of office and the Democrats will run everything from Dog Catcher to the President with overwhelming majorities.

Yes, it will be interesting to see if VV is even around on January 21, 2009...
