How can this be? Every week Senator John McCain beats Senator Barack Obama by lopsided numbers. The media has Sen. Obama as good as elected already, and the candidate sure acts like he believes his press clippings...

Even if people select Obama in a poll six months before the election, what they will do the moment they enter the polling booth is another story.

Internet polls aren’t worth the paper they’re printed on.

Oh wait! They aren’t even printed on paper.

Online polls are notoriously bogus. An average of most polls puts it very close by percentage of vote and by electoral votes.

Still, I’d like to see the liberal panic when they see these numbers.

The Congressional 9% approval rating is verified on one of the polls on this site with a 6% approval which is within the +/- 5% MOE.

If the Republicans started straightening their spines, or even showing they have one, we could win all. They need to stop letting the Dems and their ridiculous sound bites go unanswered.

What I would like to hear, is that the Dems seem to think the American people are not very bright, and don't see the games these liars spout every day. INW they are talking down to us, and thinking we are too stupid to know any different.

Yes, a backwater with user age demographics that tilt decidedly in the direction of the 40+ crowd.

And slated to win the popular vote, since one of those states has over 220 million people...

...all of the caveats mentioned her are valid, still the lopsidedness even in light of this does say something I suspect. I think it says that there is a core group of people who quietly highly motivated to take action to stop Obama and what he represents (no not racial issues...marxism issues). This may be a harbinger of high voter turn out to block the Messiah’s ascendency.

Ron Paul use to win those AOL polls all the time. Either they aren’t very accurate or the votes are seriously being manipulated.

I continue to be stunned (or stuned) by these AOL polls. AOL polls are usually liberal.

I think that the electorate has essentially listened politely but the majority of Americans agree that Obama is definitely NOT Presidential material, that we will see McCain pull ahead in the polls, and that by November McCain will win by a landslide. He will probably bring some Republicans into Congress on his coattails too.
