AP/YAHOO Poll of 873 Democrats; 650 Republicans shows OBAMA 44%, MCCAIN 42%...
McCain is losing support?
No question McCain is on the move here. Good timing.
Useless. Ignore the polls. Pray and Work for it!
I saw this on Drudge, I thought it was good news, but then I am not sure if we can trust any polls. I think we have to trust that the American people are not so dumb to actually vote for a Communist, but then again I have seen many dumb people lately.
That last debate is the tone McCain SHOULD’VE had all along. Let’s hope it was enough.
??????
Dupe thread, but that’s ok.
Notice the oversampling. Someone did the math on the other thread, showing that if the sampling were even,
it would be Mac 49, Zero 37
Your ruse is weak.
But please keep trying it.
Any poll, rigged or otherwise, that has BO under 50% is good news, because it demonstrates that he cannot close the sale, he closes very poorly & demonstrates to the MSM that this race is not over.
Turn the jokes at the Al Smith dinner into campaign ads.
I’m still young (22), but I’m hoping someone can help me out. I voted in the ‘04 election (for W.), but I didn’t really follow the race as closely as I am this time around. Isn’t it commonplace for the MSM to put out polls suggesting the Dem candidate is lightyears ahead when there is a month or so to go before the election, but as the date draws near they correct the skews in the polls to reflect something that more closely resembles the truth?
They poll 15 % more Dems than Repub and the difference is 2 points !
Landslide McCain!
If there was ever any meaning to your totally unclear reply, please tell me what your point was, if indeed, there was one.
I’m done with polls, I think they’re inaccurate, based on an outmoded sampling technique (landline phones), and self-serving to the political interests of the pollsters.
So to be consistent, I can’t get excited even when the trend is favorable.
So? The poll I conducted at my work place shows the O with 15%, McCain 80% and Other or Nonyabidnez 5%.
The other day I was at a Michael’s Store waiting, waiting, waiting. This family was buying items to decorate.... scary decorations for Halloween. The little girl about 8 and Hispanic said “we should put an Obama sticker up with that”.
“Mr. Madison, what you’ve just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul. “
Well, yeah, you “polled” people with jobs... what did you expect?
