IBD/TIPP Tracking Poll: Day Ten Posted Wednesday, October 22, 2008 Contrary to other polls, some of which show Obama ahead by double digits, the IBD/TIPP Poll shows a sudden tightening of Obama's lead to 3.7 from 6.0. McCain has picked up 3 points in the West and with independents, married women and those with some college. He's also gaining momentum in the suburbs, where he's gone from dead even a week ago to a 20-point lead. Obama padded gains in urban areas and with lower-class households, but he slipped 4 points with parents. Read more

hopefully as people start to focus on the election more, they will see the serious inconsistencies with Obama and utter lack of experience. The only issue with McCain besides being a frickin RINO is his age.

I think John has a vested interest in Barack's winning the presidency.

Has referred to Israelis as "Nazis," and calls Israel's actions against the PLO "a Holocaust" -James Zogby

This is yesterdays poll. Thursday not out yet.

Anybody know the internals?

[Klepto]

Actually Battleground, PEW and CBS were the most accurate but TIPP was only marginally behind.

This is clearly a volatile race with much dispute over internals, weight, etc.

i think you’re right

[manapua]

What makes you think he’s not accurate this year? Hate to say it, but 9 points down nationally sounds about right based on what I see.

[MAD-AS-HELL]

yes, i do know about Zogby's heritage and brother. I do not know if he has invested interest in Obama to the point he'd skew his own polls. I just pray that McCain eeks out the victory. I want to see the left destroyed.

Stop thinking that the polls mean that much in this election. There are so many examples in the last 2 presidential elections that show that they don’t have a handle on the electorate.

I would give anything to see the campaign internal polls which are much more close to being accurate but they each spend millions to get that kind of information.

A quote from Zogby “Polling is 80% science and 20% art.”

It’s the 20% he doesn’t know about and that’s enough room for a lot of error.

And exactly what do you see?

[Stentor]

Hate to say it, but 9 points down nationally sounds about right based on what I see.

Well now it's certain. Do you have special glasses?

[goodnesswins]

You got some special glasses there in New Zealand???

What makes you think he’s not accurate this year? Hate to say it, but 9 points down nationally sounds about right based on what I see.

Put down the Democrat Media 3-D glasses and slowly back away.

The huge swings in the polls, and the huge discrepancies between polls, show that we cannot count on polls to predict what will happen on election day. This race is still undecided. Ignore the polls.
