I know the early sense is that the debate answer on driver’s licenses hasn’t hurt Hillary Clinton yet. But I note Rasmussen has her at 41 percent in his daily tracking poll. It’s bounced around a bit, but she was as high as 47 percent on the 25th of October.

But I notice that compared to the last Washington Post poll finished Sept. 30, Hillary is down four and Obama is up six. Maybe that did move the needle a bit.

Looking at the rest of the numbers, we see Iraq is down six points in the “most important issue” category, from 35 percent to 29 percent. The economy is up from 11 percent to 14. (Undermining my previous post, the environment doubled… from one percent to two.)

Approval for Republicans in Congress is 32 percent. Approval for Democrats is 36 percent. The GOP gained three points since the last poll, the Democrats lost two.

When asked who they trust more to handle the issue of immigration, 42 percent said Democrats, 35 percent said Republicans, and 13 percent volunteered “neither.” Tomorrow really looms large on how much the GOP will emphasize this issue in 2008.
