All the news that's fit to make up, YET AGAIN....
Since AP is LINK ONLY, or whatever, I'll do this as a PERSONAL Item.
In this article, released just 5 hours ago, Titled, "Obama leads McCain nationally in AP-Ipsos poll"
"A new poll finds Barack Obama is leading John McCain nationally by 6 percentage points thanks to big leads he is enjoying among women, minorities and younger voters.
The Associated Press-Ipsos poll shows that Obama is leading his Republican rival 47 percent to 41 percent. McCain has a 10-point lead among whites and is tied with the Democrat among men, but Obama is leading by 13 points among women and has huge leads with minorities and the young."

Yet, LAST WEEK, this very same poll had Obama up SEVEN, with absolutely NO mention of the MEssiah's fall in the numbers, or any reason given as to WHY...

We aren't going to let them get by with that, are WE?????
Bump
Hit your pings list!
Waiting on the monster illegal to die in Houston for killing two of Americas teenage citizens after repeatedly raping them.
This week's poll was done by AP/IPSOS-REID.
Two different polling organizations.
Not anymore.
When was the AP ban lifted?
My question to the admin mod yesterday:
“Is A.P. an ok source again?”
His/her response:
“Yes, our boycott against the AP has been lifted. Thanks”
No other polling outfit that I know of has the race tied amongst men. Correcting that alone would move this from a six point Obama lead to a dead heat just like every other pollster is showing.
Surveying likely voters instead of adults moves the numbers even further in McCain's favor. He still has a lot of work today, but I really like the position JM finds himself in today.
Thanks
This is the poll that oversampled democrats by 14%. Effing irresponsible.
I was surprised (though I shouldn’t have been I guess) to see this poll was taken only among 1000 “adults.” Only 833 of whom were even registered voters! I do not automatically dismiss all the polls I don’t like but in this case it really sounds as if they doctored the thing.
I am going to go out on a limb here and say that when Sen. McCain starts leading in the polls for many weeks in a row, the MSM will term it not as a lead for McCain but instead “Obama has almost 50% of the vote!!!” even though the polls say, for example, 52% for McCain and 46% for Obama.
Ah, the English language....so easily used to manipulate people.
