UTICA, New York - A majority of likely voters nationwide think Democrat Barack Obama is more intelligent than Republican John McCain, and a plurality believes Obama will come out on top in Friday's first debate of the 2008 general election season, a new Zogby Interactive poll shows.
More than four out of 10 voters - 42% - said they think Obama will win the debate Friday, compared to 31% who said they think McCain will come out ahead on points. Another 27% said they are unsure who might win.

They don’t even wait for the debate before they dish out this BS. Amazing!
“”get a bush of “Uhs””” my post
Actually I meant BUNCH of “uhs”.
I definitely know who has more testicular fortitude.
This just tells you how skewed the sample selection is toward the Democrats.
They’re GLAD so few people saw Saddleback, so they can get away with stupid “polls” like this.
Enough did that McCain began rising in the polls, while Obama's numbers began to crumble a bit. This was what took the wind from Obama's sails, before Sarah Palin was in the picture.
Perfect!
I want low expectations, then when McCain wipes the floor with Obama even the MSM can’t ignore it.
Good....Lower expectations means an easier win...Conversely, a higher level of expectations means its harder to win and the loss will be more disappointing.....Sounds good to me.
I think it's the MSM influence rather than stupidity on the public's part (hmm, is ignorance of the MSM's agenda studpidity?).
Bingo. It's all about turnout and the MSM is trying their damnedest to suppress republican turnout by convincing people it's over.
What kind if ridiculous poll is this of an event that's not even occurred. Hey, why not produce a poll of how well Obama will do as president? I know the election has not occurred, but what the heck.
In my opinion, all of these polls showing positive things about Obama are rigged. I put no stock in them at all. Check the samples of those polled, and you will see it is always tilted toward the liberal democrat party, and conservatives are put at a disadvantage. As Rush Limbaugh often states, they are done to create news, not report it.
Will there even BE a debate Friday? There are more important issues at stake right now.
And surely misspelling stupidity is a sign of it ;)
That, my FRiend, is our biggest problem.
I hope you are right....but I’ve very little, if any confidence in the American Sheeple.
That’s EXACTLY what these unprecedented polls are about. If we’re savvy, we’ll know to just ignore them. They’re designed to be self-fulfilling.
The elitist mentality of the left makes me physically ill. The problem is that they mistake a snooty accent for intelligence. (Just as they did with John Kerry.) Plenty of brilliant people have a silly accent. By the same token, a snooty northern accent (”Pah-ki-stahn”) does not indicate any level of intelligence as much as it indicates where that person comes from.
Well, it looks as if McCain outsmarted both Zogby and Obama if he doesn’t show up and is seen taking care of his responsibilities in D.C. After all, that is what he was elected to do.
