O.K., so we’ve got Battleground and Fox/Opinion Dynamics. That’s two major polls. Good!
I bet that hurt for Fox to post that one.
I wonder if the Fox All Stars on Hume’s show will take note?
The Fox “All Stars” will dutifully ignore their own poll and continue to hype the Pew Poll!
So now we’re supposed to like Fox News’ poll?

Their tool is goofy.
We like whatever poll gives us the results we want to see. Don’t pay any attention to the fact that this is a trailing indicator and that the McCain gains have stopped according to 3 daily polls.
The next poll they talk about is the one they can find that has O up by 12
“So now we’re supposed to like Fox News’ poll?”
Not you. It doesnt show him losing by 15%
“We like whatever poll gives us the results we want to see. Don’t pay any attention to the fact that this is a trailing indicator and that the McCain gains have stopped according to 3 daily polls.”
Both sides are pathetic.
One group does nothing but follow polls looking for good results, but not spending time volunteering for the effort.
And then there is a group of you that pray that they only show bad results for whatever bizarre reason you have.
Brand new poll from NBC News !
Obama 99.0%
McCain 0.9 %
Nader 0.1%
Margin of error plus or minus 3.5 percent. Only NBC news staff were included in this sample.
I think the point is we think all the polls are rigged and now they’re just somewhat less rigged.
I like Rush’s take on the informercial. Obama was supposed to be coming to the center with that 30 minutes of victim porn where we had a parade of the helpless, hopeless and useless? I saw a great video online from John Fund of the WSJ at the Pugent Sound Federalist Society about Obama being the first Democratic “Operative” to become a candidate.
No, you criticize what you don't understand.
There has been complaints about the polls because the weighting in many of these polls seem high for certain groups that favor Obama.
I’m convinced more than ever that Mac is winning this race, case and point are these ridiculous “results” from the Fox News poll:
“For Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, 34 percent would be either “extremely” or “very” comfortable with her as vice president and 64 percent would not.
One of five (20 percent) Democrats would be uncomfortable with Biden as vice president and one of three (33 percent) Republicans would be uncomfortable with Palin.
By an 18-point margin more voters have a positive view of Biden than a negative view (55 percent favorable and 37 percent unfavorable).
Views of Palin are much more mixed: 49 percent favorable and 46 percent unfavorable.”
Obviously you don’t.
Can you explain further or provide a link/summary?
