Gallup Daily: Obama Maintains 3-Point Edge; No change from Tuesday’s report
Gallup ^

PRINCETON, NJ -- Barack Obama is maintaining a three-point, 47% to 44%, edge over John McCain among registered voters in the latest Gallup Poll Daily tracking update for Sept. 21-23, unchanged from Tuesday's report.

Obama had moved to as much as a six percentage point lead over McCain last week in the midst of the intensive news coverage of the Wall Street financial crisis, but the race has, in the last several days, settled back to the same type of slight edge for Obama that typified the race for most of the summer prior to the political conventions. Meanwhile, separate Gallup tracking data show that Americans continue to be very negative on the U.S. economy, including the highest percent rating the economy as "poor" (53%) so far this year.

Obama needs to be beat down so bad during this election that nobody of his low caliber will ever try and run again. The people of this country need to say no to socialism and communism once more and do it in no uncertain terms. There are those that didn’t like the McCarthy era but if you look at it, it set communism back over 60 years in this country.

Fox News has their new poll out. I think it is now 45 to 39 for Obama. They say this is the 1st time in their poll that it is out of the margin or error. then they say their is a huge swing in Independents to obama from theier last poll. On the economy it’s 47 to 37 Obama. Keeping us safe is 45 to 40 McCain.

I guess this $hit is just reactionary to WallStreet. Good thing Gallup didn’t move up!

I just posted this at later thread that will probably soon be locked, so I’ll repost it here:

A really good Obama day (last Sunday) drops off tomorrow’s Gallup tracking poll. Actually, I suspect that it was more of a bad McCain day than a good Obama day, that is, a one day shift of voters going from McCain to undecided, but not shifting to Obama.

By my reckoning, the Gallup tracking poll has been essentially tied among registered voters over the last two days. This means that McCain is beginning to take the lead again among likely voters (the Gallup spread is approximately 4 points between registered voters and likely voters).

This race is essentially tied in the popular. But McCain enjoys some historic advantages in the electoral. CO and VA almost always go red. OH and MO are bellwethers for GOP nominees and they are trending red too. DO NOT gauge success by popular vote polls of RVs at this point. Look at the battleground states.

really remarkable given the news headlines and the “fact” /s/ that more Americans think Obama can handle the economic crisis better.

If someone wants to make a new post on the FNC post, here’s the link. I’m too lazy to do it plus since it’s pro Obama, I don’t have the urge to do it anyways lol.

I will be posting what I said from an earlier post every time I see polls posted .....

"Just came for Drudge and he has a picture of the smug black messiah making a fist like the black panthers! I still don’t believe this, NO WAY NO HOW....I’m getting a little nervous but GOD will help us win this battle. The Tsunami of evil spewed by the RATS and their accomplices is beyond anything I have EVER witnessed. I serve a God who deals with the impossible, I serve a MIGHTY God who deals severely with evil doers. I serve a God who listens to the cries of his people. I serve a KING who has the power to turn the hearts of people to do the right thing. I serve a MASTER who turns situations around... what satan meant for evil HE will turn it around for good. I have to believe I serve a MIGHTY GOD! Fix your eyes on Him don’t look at the situation, but put your faith in him. IF ever we needed Him most it’s now. Call upon him and he will answer. I’m NOT willing to surrender my COUNTRY over to Satan’s cronies yet! The SPIRITUAL fight has just began. Please, I implore you, FAST AND PRAY. This is the only way we can defeat the demons and their plans. PLEASE, PLEASE..God Doesn't need an army of millions but a handful of faithful believers who are willing to take a stand in the middle of the Storm by faith believing without wavering that God can do all things! Even this to turn an election to favor McPAL! Join me with prayer and fasting."
