Yet the drive-by media keeps telling us what a wonderful boost Senator Obama got from his "most excellent adventure" and how the world adores him, and on and on. Reminds me of 2004, when the left-wing English newspaper "The Guardian" ran a campaign to have their readers write to voters in Ohio on behalf of Senator John Kerry. The county they aimed at switched to President Bush that year! I see the same thing going on here. Never has a U.S. politician been so arrogant with so little to back it up!

Meanwhile, polls still show Kerry 17 points ahead of Bush...

“insignificantly ahead”

What a funny way to put it. Sort of like that old left-handed compliment; “You don’t sweat much for a fat girl.”

[Always Right]

All these polls are manipulated. I put a +/-10% on all of them.

[Graybeard58]

A blow out for McCain in November. People see right through Barak the magic negro.

[library user]

John McCain will be the next President of the United States.

[SERKIT]

Let's hope McCain insignificantly wins!

[jwalsh07]

SOmebody should gently break the news to Newport and the author that Obama underperorms his poll numbers when folks go into the poll booth. Not looking good for Barack.

[Positive]

I think we should have a election every day until November 5 and the candidate with the most cumulative votes would be the winner.

That way today's polls would have more significance.

Imagine how many votes there would be on November 5 if it were tight.

[MattinNJ]

This is a weekend poll which usually trends left if I am not mistaken.

[BunnySlippers]

I’ll take it. But was the word “insignificantly” necessary?

[Jim Noble]

Why are you looking at, much less posting about, polls?

At this point, they mean nothing. Carter beats Reagan. Dukakis beats Poppy. Gore beats Bush. Kerry beats Bush.

Foolishness. Nobody is paying attention to this yet, and nobody's opinions will matter until October 15, if then.

[Jeff Head]

The difference is plain. When talking to people who are planning to and likely to vote...they get one answer. When they talk to just regsitered voters, many of which who will not vote, they get a different one...at least in their polling data.

The only one that counts is the great poll coming up in November.

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA - CHANGE YOU CAN COUNT ON, BUT DON'T WANT

THE AUDACITY OF TRUTH ABOUT BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA

[goldstategop]

Its quite possible McCain had a real lead since May but people lied to pollsters or didn't bother to tell them who they preferred. That tended to make Obama more popular than he actually was and it also fit in with the MSM's template of Obama's election as "inevitable" in November.

[Tarpon]

So Gallip found out when you poll Germany Obambi wins? I wonder why they did that ... LOL.

Obviously, someone had to draw the short straw for the Obambi bounce poll news.

[Ingtar]

I honestly doubt the polls have changed. I believe the pollsters, good little Dims that so many of them are, have second thoughts about Obama and are trying to do their part to have him lose in Denver.

[Candor7]

If Obama were 4 points up , he would be "significantly" ahead.

McCain is 4 points up, and he is "insignificantly" ahead.

Imean this isn't worth shooting anyone over, but it sure gives a slant to the sled.

We all should just give up the election and annoint King Obama now?

I laughed at this ridiculous excuse for an article which tries to pass as political journalism.

[rexgrossmansonlyfan]

I wish where everything was today meant it was going to be the winner in the end since the Cubs have the best record in the National League. And are beating the media’s new God in baseball CC Sabathia as I type this.

It’s amazing how many jumps and falls we’ve seen in polling for both which means these polls are baloney sausage in high heels when it happens without a major scandal or after a convention.

[gusopol3]

Beck’s got one of his headlines for tomorrow. I can’t wait to see the one “Obama gets kissed by beauties on both cheeks, while McCain has a hunk of his cheek torn off for a biopsy.”

[God luvs America]

yes...

a shift of 13pts in on poll over a three day period is “insignificant”...only when it is a Republican on the better end of the 13pt shift that is....
