If these polls are anywhere near reality, we are in deep trouble... They’re taken at the peak of JM’s bounce, which is bound to erode... I still think it’s dead even when the bounce fades, electoral and popular

According to Fox News, McCain has a higher favorability rating and he is trusted more. Could this be an example of the Bradley effect?
To: manc
I'm in S. Florida and I can tell you support for Obama is diminishing down here (cept for the Keys but they're liberal till the end). My job takes me all over Dade, Broward and Monroe counties, I've really noticed the largest change in Dade and Broward.
A month ago, I couldn't drive down a street and not see an Obama sign or someone wearing pro-Obama shirts.
Lately I've noticed the signs are weathering and not getting replaced. T-shirts aren't as popular.
I'm also noticing a good deal more McCain bumper stickers around town.
While this is obviously scientific in anyway, I think you can tell a great deal about the tides of an election by watching the support candidates have with the general public.

On the morning of Sunday, September 7?!? So this is a poll of only the people who do not go to church? If so, nobama is in HUGE trouble.

If you are going to follow polls, you can't get too up or too down about them. They are going to fluctuate. nature of the beast.
All indications are that our convention was a very big success and that the Palin pick rallied the base. In states with large GOP bases (including Colorado, Ohio, Virginia and Florida), that is bound to help.
My guess is we will see other polls that are even more favorable to McCain in the near future.
To: CA Conservative
According to the Rasmussen site these polls were done on Sunday It is axiomatic that Sundays are bad polling days for the GOP.

FL, like the others, is a one day poll on a Sunday with a 4.5% MOE. Mac isn’t spending money in FL, what does that tell you, and weren’t Hillary and Biden just there? By the way, if you’re so critical of Mac’s FL numbers what do you think of PA being only + 2 for Obambi? If I was Axelrod I wouldn’t be very happy about that, especially considering that Obambi just spent considerable there.

What bounce? These are the same numbers we were seeing before pretty much except PA.
This set is a dud. Once again the fav/unfav ratings the the actual vote percentages aren’t gelling. Something’s off here.

What an entertaining comment!

If these polls are anywhere near reality, we are in deep trouble... Nah. We're not in deep trouble at all. These results do suggest a close race though.
I've never thought a blowout was likely, but McCain is in very good position to earn an EC vicotry.
To: LadyNavyVet
Yeah, but he isn’t getting church going Republicans if the calls are made on Sunday morning.

The Republican nominee is viewed favorably by 61% of Floridian voters and unfavorably by 37%. Obamas numbers are 55% favorable, 45% unfavorable.The same results as Colorado. These are the most recent numbers and they coincide with all the new polls showing McCain ahead.

To: Norman Bates
In Florida, the survey was conducted as Hurricane Ike was approaching.
Could it be the McCain voters were out doing something about the appraoching storm, while the Obama voters were waiting inside for the government to come CALLING?
To: Norman Bates
Colorado is VERY encouraging.
Two weeks ago the dems flooded the state with the convention. They dumped millions into the state. The local news was all Obama all the time for over a month.
And all they can get is a 3 point lead.
I’ll giggle my head off if we take CO.

To: Brytani
see I'm in the northern part of the state and I do not know anyone supporting Obama, have not seen any Obama t shirts and only a few Obama stickers . I am very surprised by those results as the polls I had seen gave McCain a good lead . I hope you're right I really do as we can not afford to let him win our state. Time to stop immigration into our state from those northern liberals, only conservatives welcome or could we not just put a wall from the keys and the mainland or at least put a gate on US1 I think it is I'm in st johns county. st augustine to be exact.

It is pretty much unheard of that a person with a +24 favorability loses to a guy with a +10 favoribility. I'm not saying it can never happen, but it is very, very rare.
For those of you wondering about a Bradley Effect, this data might suggest there is one at work in Colorado.
