My guess is they have no idea how to handle the Wilder effect. Either McCain is kicking ass or he is DOA. This year totally screws up all the assumptions they put in to picking their samples. If they are over calculating the Wilder effect they will look like idiots if they are under calculating it McCain is in landslide territory. However, since they are not telling us we can only wait until Nov to find out.

That is just amazing, there is a whole herd of fed up females who are out to open a can of whupass on Obama for knocking Hllary out of “her” turn... Lord have mercy on Obama, there is no group that can hold a grudge like Hillary Clinton supporters...

If we're relying on them to defeat Obama, then I'm worried. The Obamessiah and his goons have two months to bring them back home. I'd prefer McCain just get the conservative base fired up. Okay, perhaps that's wishful thinking. (But maybe he could throw us a bone with a conservative VP!)

1023 national adults..move that to likely voters who pay taxes and seniors who remember Jimmy Carter and will actually vote move McCain to +5..

Which means that McCain probably leads Obama by five points. People are starting to pay attention, which is very bad news for Obama. If he is still tied after the convention, they're going to have to pull a “Toricelli”.

The sampling error is directly related to how many people were polled in each group. The more restrictions you put on a polling sample (i.e., Dems who still support Her Thighness), the smaller that group will be and the higher the MOE.

Serves the democrat party right for all the racist and sexist warfare they have promoted all these decades.
You reap what you sow.
Let the hillary backers wallow in a massive pity party. Exactly where they belong.

He's got an excuse for everything........

I can't wait until they tell us it's because everyone who doesn't vote for 'the one' is racist. Oh, I forgot, they already tried that!

The only poll I truly trust and is pretty accurate over past 8 years is survey usa..even when I don’t like results I trust their results. I used to trust gallup until they gave Kerry 2 extra points in their last poll. They had it right then decided to give kerry 2 points for some weird explanation..They were wrong of course

Since it’s after Biden was named, it means the poll is entirely done on weekend.

“Adult Americans” were questioned, not registered voters. And the subset of registered voters who are also likely voters (as you pointed out) is even more likely to be pro-McCain. So this is doubly devastating for the Messia-uhhh. (Most of the polls I see are at least “registered voters” — the likely voters polls cost much more.)

Wait until tomorrow night when Michelle Obama tells us why we should hate America! She’s more arrogant than her husband.

I’m sure that will go over well.

And did I hear correctly that Chelsea Clinton is also going to speak? Should we rename this convention the Clinton Convention instead of the Democrat Convention?

““This looks like a step backward for Obama, who had a 51 to 44 percent advantage last month,” says CNN Polling Director Keating Holland.”

Down 7, that’s not a dead cat bounce, that’s just a dead cat.
