Does this include the voter fraud with ACORN or exclude it?

Man, I’m just sick of this. We get the IBD poll, which shows 2 down, then RIGHT A FREAKIN’ WAY we get this.

Can we please just have one day of good news instead of one moment of good news?

Every time it’s the same thing. One good poll, we exhale, and then we get slammed with 10 LOUSY ONES!

What did Bill Ayers’ Friend say? Oh, yeah ... ENOUGH!

I think its Zogby’s turn to show a huge lead for Obama now. Just taking turns.

Also noticed that Zogby likes to mirror Gallup. Albeit staggered by a week.

McCain’s campaign has sent an incoherent message about 0bama.
It has failed to define him.
What good is talking about William Ayers or ACORN if the campaign doesn’t use these associations to draw a conclusion about 0bama?

McCain needs to use not one, but rather the aggregate of 0bama’s influences in life to bring him into focus. Frank Marshall Davis, Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Saul Alinsky, ACORN, The Democratic Socialists of America, The New Party. What do they all have in common?

The answer: a dangerous, radical, far left ideology.

McCain must make this about ideology, and take 0bama’s associations as instructive. He should highlight that Saul Alinsky taught radicals to cut their hair, put on a suit, and take down the government from the inside, and 0bama was so versed in Alinsky’s tactics that he taught them to ACORN activists.

McCain’s ACORN ad reveals that 0bama taught for ACORN, but it never reveals the substance of what he taught.
The substance is what we need to understand 0bama. The substance is what makes it tangible.

McCain needs to call 0bama a wolf in sheep’s clothing. A clean-cut radical with very little papertrail infiltrating the system in order to destroy it.
Exposing 0bama’s radical agenda and properly identifying it as Socialism would be enough to ensure his defeat. It is what McCain must do.

Look truth is truth..no conspiracy. McCain is terrible candidate..he had chance to define Obama with Fleger, Kenya president, Ayers, Wright etc..could have done it early on..but he is weak and has always been weak..even when he ran against Bush..Bush crushed him..he needed to define Obama early. he didn’t. He says issues..how do you win issues when Obama keeps changing them..bad candidate, bad campaign..unless things change overnight..it is not looking good.

Add 5 to 7% to McCain numbers in national numbers.
The state numbers are what matters, and you can add 4 to 6% to each for the numbers you will see on Nov 6 or 7.

No tie..McCain is getting licked..he needs to step up or step out...was terrible politician..for some reason he thinks people want bi-partisan....people hate both Republicans and Democrats..they want a third way leader..he just misses the moment..and RICK DAVIS is the worst of the worst..he has never won anything..only person worse is Charlie Black who is also on the team and stinks worse then the Clevland Browns..

When your campaign manager says you’re down 6%, what do you think the pollster are going to do? Bad move by Schmidtt.

I hate these daily trackers. This is a close race. McCain will win.

I’m so sick and tired of polls after polls . . . if we believed in the polls after the ‘04 election, then Hillary would be awaiting her coronation next January. NOT ONE of the people at the top of any of these go$$damn polls are any one of the 4 people at the top of the two tickets . . . not one. It’s all garbage, and the day after the election next month, the a$$holes will have a brand new poll as to who will be on the ticket in ‘12.

Whom are they polling and when are they polling and what are they asking . . . If I’m not mistaken, Kerry was way ahead of Bush 4 years ago at this time and was ahead going into the election day . . .

Watching Rasmussen smirking about McCain not catching on in the battleground states.

This guy is not even hiding his agenda.

He loved Romney and carried him along as far as possible.

Not he’s onto Obama loving.

All these pollsters use the same lists. They simply adjust the area codes to reflect the responses they want.

“The people living in the country are morons.”

I’m going to assume you meant ‘in this country’. ;) And apparently, if you look at all the polls from day-to-day, they’re schizophrenic as well. Or is that Bi-polar? They’re up one day and down the next. Swinging swaying. Loving Barack, not really, really loving Barack.

Phooey on you polls!

So much for Zogby’s McCain surge.

This race has been stuck at a 4 to 7 point lead for Obama for a couple of weeks now. Unless McCain can shake things up and move away from his RINO/bipartisan ways, I’m afraid he is going to be the recipient of a major @ss kicking on Nov. 4.

I think Schmidt is setting up the media. He’s claiming McCain is down six, but we all know its a lot closer than that.

After the Wednesday debate Schmidt is going to release a poll showing the race even, and all hell will break loose!

It’s the “undecided” voter that’s been the big puzzle of this election. As Calvin Thomas said the other night, “Anyone who is still undecided at this point must have been on another planet for the last year.”

I’m beginning to think that when a person is asked who they’re voting for and they answer that they’re “undecided,” what they’re politely saying is that it’s none of your frigging business who they’re voting for.

Turnout for the 2004 election was 39 vs 39.

All these polls are weighting the dems 6-14 percent more then republicans.

PUMAs are lying to pollsters
Bradley effect
Operation Chaos
ACORN pumped up fake dem registrants
Pissed off right thinkers that refuse to be polled

Think about it.

Polling this year is nearly impossible, they are stumbling over themselves trying to weight different groups, age, race, etc.

Obama needs a double digit lead to even be even if you ask me.

I also once believed they were just setting up the media when they announced the Michigan pull out but now it looks like they really are that stupid.

I will continue to pray.

Actually...It 48% - 44%

http://www.zogby.com/news/ReadNews.dbm?ID=1584

Obama's lead declines

UTICA, New York – Democratic Party presidential nominee Barack Obama slipped back into a statistical dead heat with Republican Party nominee John McCain, but still holds the advantage over McCain, the latest Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby likely voter poll shows.

In this latest report, McCain gained eight-tenths of a point, while Obama lost one full point.

While the worldwide economic system underwent dramatic turmoil last week, the poll shows the presidential race remarkably unchanged overall at the end of the first full week of daily tracking. Through the week, Obama has always held a small lead, as large as 6.1 points (on Saturday) and as little as 1.9 points (last Wednesday).

The rolling telephone tracking poll included a sample of 1,206 likely voters collected over the previous three 24-hour periods spanning four calendar days – approximately 400 per 24-hour period from Oct. 9-12, 2008.  

Obama retains a substantial 17-point lead among independent voters, but that edge receded from 21 points yesterday. In terms of securing their political bases, both Obama and McCain are doing well. Among Democrats, Obama wins 86% support, while McCain wins 88% support among Republicans.

No, he wasn't. You might be able to pick out a few states where this is true, but nationally, not even close in comparison to this year.

3-Way Race: Bush/Cheney vs Kerry/Edwards vs Nader/Camejo

As someone pointed out though, I don't think that the polls in 2004 were as heavily skewed to DEMs as this year.
