Not this crap again. All Presidential elections are by state not nationally. If nationally CA, NY, IL would have too much sway in an election.

You cannot do a national poll on the Presidential election and have it mean squat.

It pains me to admit, but what do you expect? Obama’s foreign excursion was almost flawless, meanwhile McCain was lost in the supermarket. Petreaus 2012 is looking better every day.

LOL. Bob Barr will not get 0.3% of the vote, let alone 3%.

This "poll" is a laugher.

What the article forgot to mention was all polling took place at fifty-seven graveyards across America.

Dems who buy this crap are only ultimately fooling only themselves, quite dangerously so. Obama may win, but not by ridiculous margins.

I was so upset with McGore being the Republican's nominee that I was considering voting for Nader who I understood was the Green Party candidate.

Now I see by the news articles about a week ago that Cynthia McKinney is the Green Party's nomination for President. What happened to Ralphie? Whose ticket is he really running on.

I considered him for awhile because I saw a recent program on PBS that showed Dem after Dem still seething with rage that Nader caused Gore to lose FL to Bush in 2000, setting the stage for "Unites We Stand" after 9-11-2001.

I've been holding my nose so hard, so many times since Reagan that I'm gettin caluses and scar tissue on my nostrils!!! I despise these mugwump Repubs more than liberal Dems simply because the RINO's should absolutely know better!!!

No details given in original article - when done? - adults, registered voters, likely voters? - sample size? - very probably a crap poll done to influence the vote rather than predict it........

The polls mean nothing at this stage of the game. Wait till October with its coming “Big Surprise” Then watch the polls.

Flawless? You either have a warped impression of flwless, or did not see the same trip I did.

His Afghanistan trip was a farce, ignoring troops on the ground for pure D photo ops. His trip to Iraq blatantly attempted to coop the PM into agreement with him requiring thr PM to issue a statement clarifying things.

He spurned our wounded troops, he consistantly waffled on and attempted to deny his own position on Iraq and the surge and misrepresent McCains.

he blatantly copted one of the most Holy Sites in Judaism and has imbettered manby of that faith over it.

His empty speech in Germany was laughed at and mocked by the SPiegel, and Germans who were in attendance.

Nope...I would say it was pretty flawed alright.

No way am I going to concede 3 justices and a majority of the Supreme court to the Libs for another 40 years. We have to work for McCain, like him or not.

Suck it in.

The RINOs are nothing but political whores that are out only for themselves and have no beliefs or philosophy.

They are worse than democrats.

The perfect example is Pete Wilson.

The only way he ever decided how to vote on anything was to take his what’s good for Pete wilson finger, stick it in his mouth, hold it in the air to determine how to vote.

Research 2000 was the third most accurate in state polling in 2004, behind Rasmussen and Survey USA. In 2004, R2K made predictions in 13 states, and in 7 Battleground States. R2K got 12 calls right, and 1 wrong, and was off by an average of 5.15 points. One of their final polls was the closest for that state ( in a Battleground State), and none of their polls were invalidated for being more than 10 points off. In the Battleground States, R2K got 6 right and 1 wrong, and was off by an average of 4.57 points.

EGAD. Will she be naming Dellums as her running mate?

Don't get too distressed over your vote--Obama's leading McCain by some 25 points in California. Our vote isn't gonna mean much, anyway.
