Most every candidate underperforms their actual poll numbers because pollsters have a large number of "undecideds" in their results. The interesting thing about Obama is that the number he reached in the polls was almost always all he actually got on election day. There were a couple of exceptions, but not many at all.

So, either his opponents got virtually every single undecided voter out there, or else some people were telling pollsters they were undecided when they actually had made up their minds to vote for Obama's opponent.

Either way, it is likely to work for us and not against us on election day.

“There were a couple of exceptions, but not many at all.”

Not true. We have discussed this before on other threads and I have challenged you to show me those numbers by good pollsters. I have looked at Ras’ primary numbers and Obama took the undecideds at least as often as Hillary did.

Like I said, there is no vote fairy coming to save McCain, just like there was no vote fairy coming to save the Republicans in congress in 2006, even though Freepers insisted vociferously that the polls were wrong and all would be well. The polls weren’t wrong, Freepers were.

McCain needs a numerical, not chimerical, lead if he hopes to win.
