Washington_in_prayer

There is a God who hears and answers our prayers

In 1988 President Ronald Reagan signed into law a bill passed by Congress declaring the first Thursday in May to be a day when members of all faiths could pray together in their own way.


While America focuses on the 2008 primaries, we suggest you view this video to remind
us all what has made these elections possible throughout our history.

Zogby Poll: McCain Leads Clinton, Trails Obama

Republican John McCain trails Democrat Barack Obama by three points in a national general election test, but leads Democrat Hillary Clinton by 10 points, the latest Zogby Interactive survey shows.

The online poll, conducted April 25-28, 2008, shows that Obama retains 80% support among Democrats, compared to just 66% of Democrats who said they will back Clinton against McCain, the survey shows. Against Obama, McCain wins 11% of the Democratic support, while he wins 10% support against Clinton. In the McCain-Clinton race, 12% of Democrats said they were undecided, compared to just 4% of Democrats who were undecided in the McCain-Obama race.

Asked who they thought would be the next president, McCain led the way with 45%, compared to 40% for Obama. Just 11% said they thought Clinton would be the next one to occupy the Oval Office. Only 20% of Democrats said they think Clinton will be the next president, compared to 63% who believe Obama will get the job done.

Interestingly, 1% said they think former vice president-turned-Nobel laureate Al Gore will be the one to succeed George W. Bush in the White House. The survey included 7,653 likely voters nationwide and carries a margin of error of +/- 1.1 percentage points.

In a general election match-up between McCain and Clinton: McCain 44%; Clinton 34%; Ralph Nader 3%; Bob Barr 4%; not sure/someone else 16%.

In a general election match-up between McCain and Obama: McCain 42%; Obama 45%; Nader 1%; Barr 3%; not sure/someone else 8%.

Asked which candidate - McCain or Clinton - most shares your values, 48% said McCain, compared to 37% who said McCain, with 15% not sure.

Between McCain and Obama, 48% said McCain shared their values, compared to 44% who said Obama most shared their values.

Among Democrats, 9% were more likely to say McCain more reflects their values than Clinton, and 12% of Democrats said McCain is closer to their values than Obama.
