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.

This reminds me a bit of a hit piece that came out right before the (I think) 2004 Election. It was a “study” of the smartest Presidents. Amazingly, all but one (Nixon) was a Democrat.
Bleah.
As for 0bama, pfft!
In one case, he started jabbering some blah, blah, blah...
The interviewer said "I haven't even asked the question yet. Obama said (right out loud)...."I was anticipating your question...
He has a muddled brain and a cold heart. He is not a "people" person.
The debates are so much BS. Have been for decades now.
Obama wants to shine, cuz McCain is at least as bad as Dole ever was. McCain is never going to shine in a debate. McCain could not win a debate with a goldfish....on any subject matter, never mind against Obama.
Hey Obama also cannot hit a curve ball.
McCain has suddenly taken that option off the table for this week.
Brilliant move.
Probably a Rove idea.
Obama is even more of a mental midget than sKerry!
He thinks that federal subsidies will reduce the price of food and fuel. He thinks that the Joint Chiefs run the military. He thinks that Jesus Christ is a dead man.
I hope he knows what to do with the Charmin.
Agreed. I think the difference between this guy OBama and McCain is like comparing a plumber apprentice..........and his Journeyman.....
You've got that right.
and BTW anyone here ever seen a list of the kind of books John McCain reads and the quantity of books he digests?
Add to being so well read, his actual depth of experience....next to McCain Obama is a 4 year old girl in a tutu
The Democrat sock puppet smarter than the fighter pilot?
Right!
People are on crack.
Yep, that special sauce is what showed Zogby to be way off when the results were in on 2004 lection. He has no creditbility. Poll likley paid by Soros.
The ONE should win Friday’s debate, he will be the only one there.
Liberals always think they are smarter.
Here are two article I have written on the subject”
The first is about the liberal claim that Kerry was smarter than Bush:

The second is about this years election:

This is good for us. High expectations for Obama and low expectations for McCain. That’s just fine to start out with. McCain can surpass his prior expectations, and Obama can underperform his and disappoint people. Perfect. I will pray for this exact outcome.
I’m not even sure that the word “intelligence” means anything. Some people are good at math but clumsy in speaking and relating to humans in general. I see people who clearly have some gifts, have a high paying job, drive an expensive sports car, which is blasting out some of the stupidest music in the history of humanity. IMO sometimes “smart” people have extremely stupid characteristics.
Did they have a poll as to who will dress better?
Zogby... I am amazed anyone pays attention to this Muslim group! This guy will do anything to make sure Obama wins because he thinks Obama will be better for Muslims.
Who will determine if he won? The media?
That would make a great ad. "Senator Biden, are you smarter than a fifth grader?" Then have the sound bites of his stupid gaffes.
Who would actually believe that Obama is smarter than McCain? Only the dumb. I can’t wait for the debates.
