Last Friday, Newsweek released a poll that had Sen. Barack Obama up 15 points over Sen. John McCain. Today, the LA Times along with Bloomberg released their poll showing Obama up, you guessed it, 15 points over the presumptive Republican nominee. The LA Times/Bloomberg polling data shows in a four-way race that Obama is over McCain 48 percent to 33 percent with independent candidates Bob Barr and Ralph Nader holding a combination of 7 percentage points and the rest are undecided. In a two-way race, Obama's lead narrows only slightly to 12 percentage points. University of Virginia political science professor Larry Sabato says this is not breaking any new ground, "Obama is the frontrunner. I believe his real lead at present is about 5-6 points."

Sigh.
Wasn’t Skerry up by about this much at the same time in 2004?
Chris Matthews would report that Opossum was up ‘hundreds of points’ over McCain.
The MSM looks more & more like headlines from DU
We will be listening to the leftist MSM decide the outcome of the election, BEFORE the election is even held. This will go on until November....
Polls don't scare me.... the vast number of idiots out there do. Only time will tell.
Generally, it's about 5%.
Also, keep in mind that there haven't been any BHO/JMc debates yet, and if there's no teleprompter, BHO does terribly.
"Macaca. Macaca macaca. Macaca McCain macaca? Macaca!"

Oh wait: I'll bet it's liberal guilt for putting in place idiotic welfare regs that have turned generations of black folks into wards of the state and helped turn their culture into a veritable black hole devoid of the things Bill Cosby, Walter Williams, Thomas Sowell, etc. are telling them they'd better pull away from it they want to survive, let alone prosper.
No. In the Rasmussen poll, the spread was never more than 3 points between Pres. Bush and Kerry, with the two trading a lead back and forth throughout 2004. The same poll has Obama up by 6 right now, and has been relatively stable since Obama won the nomination.
Crappola!....
:)
Dukakis was also “up” in the biased media reports at this time of the campaign in 1988.
I LIVE IN ONE OF THE ONLY DEMOCRATIC STRONG HOLDS IN MY RED STATE. THESE PEOPLE VOTE DEMOCRAT ONLY BECAUSE THEIR DADDY AND HIS DADDAY DID. ISSUES DON’T MEAN SQUAT. BUT I CAN’T FIND ANY EXCEPT THE BLACK ONES WHO SAYS THEY ARE VOTING FOR
OBAMA.
Ever wonder if this thing is rigged. With electronic voting and all. They show us polls all summer showing Obama with
a big lead and on election day it wins by a good margins but noone knows anyone who says they voted for him.
But noone contests it because the polls after all predicted it.
More oversample-the-Dems pollaganda to try to rattle the GOP and build up the Obamessiah.
It’s time to take off the gloves and tell the truth:
Barack Obama is a lying, plagiarizing, flipflopping, elitist, arrogant, leftwing socialist with poor judgment and radical extremist friends and associates, including the racist pastor Rev Wright, who he called his friend and mentor for 20 years and ex-terrorist and current radical William Ayers. Obama was rated the most liberal Senator in 2007 by national journal and has otherwise hid his paper thin record with a series of cowardly ‘present’ votes and recent flipflops. Obama is not just an empty suit, but a cheap, easily foldable empty suit. Obama will hurt our economy with his higher taxes, hurt our culture with pro-abortion extremism and racial grievance politics, and get Americans killed with his naive and weak foreign policy.
We will figure out the truth, either before or after the election. Hopefully before.

Oprah is just a show.
This is giving the power of the President to the LEAST QUALIFIED NOMINEE in a generation. And the most hardcore leftwing one.
Conservatives should be absolutely horrified at the prospect.
We lose in Iraq.
We lose on Judges.
Our taxes go up. Massively.
Socialized medicines.
Gays openly in the military.
Fairness Doctrine to shut up the right.
Oh, and dont forget the amnesty for 20 million illegal immigrants and the largest increase of govt power via the CO2 cap-n-trade carbon tax-and-regulate bill.
Every bad that you can imagine will be the expected outcome.
Wow. White liberal guilt is expensive.
Go on youtube and/or talk to young people.
If you are in CO, OH, VA, IN, PA, MI, FL, NH or NM, that would be heartwarming.
But if you are in KY or AL or GA, you are not saying anything not already factored in. For every one of those, you have 2 guilty white liberals voting for Obama out of fear of being labelled racist for *not* supporting him.
No matter how awful a candidate he is.
The Obamedia is in the tank for Obama.
McCain and the Republicans are facing the same quandary Hillary had. They criticize Obama and its labelled ‘racism’. Its a disgusting act of dissent suppression that should horrify us all, but the bottom line is this: Nobody is getting the real deal on Obama, and are not seeing how bad and dangerous he will be.
So the only way out is for *US* the ordinary people, to begin writing letters, sending emails, telling folks - and GETTING LOUD - about how bad and awful Barack Obama is. Leave race aside, put his name aside and put aside his Muslim ancestors.
All that aside, you have an unqualified far leftwing Senator, who was in DC barely a year before he ran for President. NO executive experience, NO leadership accomplishment, and he even cites College courses as a foreign policy credential. Yikes!
He’s bad you know.

How can we get a petition going? How can we post it? Does anyone know? If so, I propose that we send the following signed petition to Senator Obama.
“Senator Obama, there has been a concensus among computer graphics experts that the birth certificate posted on your website is a fake and certainly not an official document issued by the State of Hawaii. When one searches public archives there is no record of you being born in Hawaii or of a marriage between your parents. In addition, two websites list two different hospitals as your hospital of birth. People are asking if you indeed were born here or in Kenya as it has been reported that your relatives at one time contended to the media that you were born in Kenya. We support your legal right to run for the office of President of the United States providing that you meet the natural born citizenship requirements. Unfortunately, Sir, there is the appearance here that you are hiding something regarding your birth record and pedigree. We therefore, respectfully ask that you release your original birth certificate and hospital records to the public. If you choose to refuse please give the American public the reason why”
