[[Image:Aleppo codex.jpg|thumb|Text from the [[Aleppo Codex]] manuscript (c. [[920]]), with several rafes. <br />([[Joshua]] {{bibleverse-nb||Joshua|1:1|HE}})]]
In [[Hebrew language|Hebrew]] [[orthography]] the '''rafe''', also '''raphe''', ({{IPA|[ʀa'fe̞]}}, Hebrew: רפה, meaning "weak, limp"), is a [[diacritic]] ֿ : a short horizontal overbar placed above certain letters to indicate that they are to be [[pronunciation|pronounced]] as [[fricative]]s.


This article provides a collection of scientific, state-wide public [[opinion polls]] that have been conducted relating to the '''[[United States presidential election, 2008|United States of America (U.S.) presidential election, 2008]]'''.
It originated with the [[Tiberian Hebrew|Tiberian]] [[Masoretes]] as part of the extended system of ''[[niqqud]]'' (vowel points), and has the opposite meaning to ''[[dagesh]] qal'', showing that one of the letters [[ב]][[ג]][[ד]][[כ]][[פ]][[ת]] is to be pronounced as a [[fricative]] and not as a [[plosive]], or (sometimes) that a consonant is single and not double; or, as the opposite to a ''[[mappiq]]'', to show that the letters [[ה]] or [[א]] are silent (''[[mater lectionis]]'').


{| align="left"
The rafe generally fell out of use for Hebrew with the coming of printing, although according to [[Wilhelm Gesenius|Gesenius]] (1813) at that time it could still be found in a few places in printed [[Hebrew Bible]]s, where the absence of a ''dagesh'' or a ''mappiq'' was particularly to be noted.<ref>p.52, ''Gesenius' Hebrew Grammar'', 14th ed, translated by T.J. Conant. New York: D. Appleton & Co., 1853. Available online at [[Google book search|Google books]].</ref>

|}
It retained some currency in [[Yiddish]] and [[Ladino language|Ladino]], particularly to distinguish /p/ (פּ, ''[[Pe (letter)|pey]]'') from /f/ (פֿ, ''fey''), and to mark non-pronounced consonants.

===Notes===

*<nowiki>*</nowiki> a scientific poll conducted via the Internet (not used in calculating results below).
*<nowiki>**</nowiki> a poll commissioned by an organization affiliated with a specific candidate (not used in calculating results below).

==Latest results (using latest polling when available)==
The numbers in parentheses indicate the number of electoral votes awarded to each state. A total of 538 electoral votes are distributed among the states and DC. A state is indicated as 'for Obama' or 'for McCain' or 'tied' based upon a single poll - the most recent. This list is thus for indicative purposes only. Margins of 10% or more are considered "safe". Margins of 5% to 9% are considered "likely" and margins of 1% to 4% are considered "leaning". Margins of multiple polls concluded the same day are averaged out.

==Maps of recent polling data==

<!-- NOTE TO THOSE MAKING CHANGES: MAP DATA IS *NOT* BASED ON THE LATEST POLL. IT IS AN AVERAGE OF RECENT POLLS. -->

Map and totals updated at 10-9-08 10:30PM EST. Maps are based on a weighted average for the previous 10 polling results, and as such may be slow to show changes in countrywide opinion: see [[:Image:McCainObamaMatchupTWINtop.svg]] for details. The map on the right is altered to convey the proportional amount of electoral votes of each state. The number of electoral votes of a given state is based on its population. Candidates must win at least 270 electoral votes to win the election; Congress votes in case of a tie.

Some polling experts such as [[FiveThirtyEight.com]] advocate an alternative approach: instead of simply accepting the average of the most recent polls, they weigh all polls according to recentness, the reputation of the pollster, the apparent sample bias, and demographic data. FiveThirtyEight.com's approach yields the following results:

Notes

  • * a scientific poll conducted via the Internet (not used in calculating results below).
  • ** a poll commissioned by an organization affiliated with a specific candidate (not used in calculating results below).

Latest results (using latest polling when available)

The numbers in parentheses indicate the number of electoral votes awarded to each state. A total of 538 electoral votes are distributed among the states and DC. A state is indicated as 'for Obama' or 'for McCain' or 'tied' based upon a single poll - the most recent. This list is thus for indicative purposes only. Margins of 10% or more are considered "safe". Margins of 5% to 9% are considered "likely" and margins of 1% to 4% are considered "leaning". Margins of multiple polls concluded the same day are averaged out.

Maps of recent polling data

Map and totals updated at 10-9-08 10:30PM EST. Maps are based on a weighted average for the previous 10 polling results, and as such may be slow to show changes in countrywide opinion: see Image:McCainObamaMatchupTWINtop.svg for details. The map on the right is altered to convey the proportional amount of electoral votes of each state. The number of electoral votes of a given state is based on its population. Candidates must win at least 270 electoral votes to win the election; Congress votes in case of a tie.

Some polling experts such as FiveThirtyEight.com advocate an alternative approach: instead of simply accepting the average of the most recent polls, they weigh all polls according to recentness, the reputation of the pollster, the apparent sample bias, and demographic data. FiveThirtyEight.com's approach yields the following results:
