I have been worried about the upcoming presidential election, especially because of the recent polls suggesting that Obama is building a lead over McCain.
But my research here on FreeRepublic suggests there is reason for optimism. At this time time in 2000, major polls had Gore up 11% over Bush. In 2004, some polls had Kerry up 5% over Bush. We all know what happened.
I think this year it will be similar, if not better for the Republican candidate because I believe many who say they will vote for Obama (becuase it's hip or cool or fashinable), actually won't.
Anyone else feel this way?
your perception is way off... he's not headed to the White House...
Yep. Zogby predicted a Kerry win.
