Two weeks from today

It hardly seems possible that Election Day is in just two weeks.

So where do things stand?

Here's glimpse from Rasmussen Reports:

Nationally, Democratic Sen. Barack Obama is at 50 percent, with Sen. John McCain at 46 percent, according to the daily tracking poll.

In Maine, Obama's at 51 percent to McCain's 46 percent. That dates back to Oct. 2, so it doesn't take into account McCain's push in the 2nd Congressional District, highlighted by a visit from his veep, Gov. Sarah Palin, last week.

The U.S. Senate race, featuring Republican incumbent Sen. Susan Collins and Democratic U.S. Rep. Tom Allen has tightened with Collins leading 49 percent to 41 percent, according to internal polling by Allen and the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee. (Rasmussen hasn't polled that race since September.)

And, one more bit of interesting information.

The Rasmussen Report released today says:

"Fifty-three percent (53%) of U.S. voters say presidential candidates should announce at least some of their Cabinet choices before an election to help voters make a more informed decision."

Not information I'm looking for. What about you?

Why only use Rasmussen and DSCC internals? You know the Dems just made that one up.
