It really doesn’t matter who wins this one or the next. We all know the ADD “undecideds” will go with the most recent memory. Last one counts.
I sopped at when you said CNN.
This was done last night immediately after the debate, which means it had to be a left coast poll.
No it’s not, do you want to be called racists?
It is ridiculous in reality but in perception it is likely. The styles favor Obama in the dumbed down age of emotion over substance. Listen to people and particulary the women, they said Obama seems to care more about people. An absolutely stupid statement when it comes to doing the job of POTUS but thats where we are at.
That was also my assessment. McCain should have come out swinging from the start. By the time he found his footing, most of the viewership tuned out and went to bed. He lost another chance to nail Obama to the wall about the economy, and I doubt he’ll get another chance.
Oh BS CNN .....you just set yerself back in fair reporting another 100 point’s !
OhButtHead was stuttering and looking for an exit like a dealer holding a kilo at a cop convention........HE LOST that debate an I don’t even like McCain !
I will vote for McCain as the alternative is a Socialist Seditious POS the Democrats are feeding America ! Kinda like the congress that is destroyed this nation in the last 2 years !
Seven & a half years!
George Bush has been in office for 7 1/2 years. The
first six the economy was fine.
A little over one year ago:
1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high;
2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon;
3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%.
4) The DOW JONES hit a record high — 14,000+
5) American’s were buying new cars, taking cruises and
vacations overseas, living large!
But American’s wanted ‘CHANGE’! So, in 2006 they voted
in a Democratic Congress & yep — we got ‘CHANGE’ all right!
1) Consumer confidence has plummeted;
2) Gasoline is now over $4 a gallon & climbing;
3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase);
4) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $12
trillion dollars & prices are still dropping;
5) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure.
6) THE DOW is probing another low ~11,300 — $2.5
TRILLION DOLLARS HAS EVAPORATED FROM THEIR STOCKS, BONDS & MUTUAL
FUNDS INVESTMENT PORTFOLIOS!
YEP, IN 2006 AMERICA VOTED FOR CHANGE! AND WE GOT IT! A
DEMOCRATIC CONGRESS,
NANCY PELOSI. HARRY REID.
Now the Democrats’ candidate for president — and the
polls say he’s gonna be ‘the man’ — claims he’s gonna really give us
change! Just how much more ‘change’ do you think you can stand?
Of course it’s ridiculous; but that’s in the playbook too.
It’s really very simple. Obama is not Presidential material period.
Poll internals
41% Dems
27% GOP
“The results may be favoring Obama simply because more Democrats than Republicans tuned in to the debate. Of the debate-watchers questioned in this poll, 41 percent of the respondents identified themselves as Democrats, 27 percent as Republicans and 30 percent as independents.”
Ok, so the discussion is over. If these people were remotely professional, they would have seen the breakdown, and tossed this.
I did a little spreadsheet work on the numbers. If you allocate the undecideds 50/50 then the final win/lost ratio is almost exactly the same as the Dem/Republican ratio. Both sides simply voted for their guy and they polled more Dems so that shows Obama “won”. He didn’t of course but that is the way you do polls CNN-style.
LOL. The voice from behind the curtain speaks again.
So, what we get are polls based on nightowls at a friend's house partying it up.
And those folks are, of course, "for Obama" for a variety of reasons that have nothing to do with Obama or politics.
We weren't called but we have potato chip leavings all over the place ~ definitely a carbohydrate drenched evening Fur Shur.
This is utterly ridiculous! They interview a whole 524 "adults", not registered voters or even likely voters, then gin up the number of rats to get the man child to 51%. I've never seen anything this biased in my life!Utterly ridiculous... but par for the course.
The media is completely in the tank for Obama.
We've known for a long time that we can't win elections by a narrow margin anymore. We have to win big or we lose by voter fraud.
Same goes for debates. McCain has to score a knockout blow or lose by media bias.
McCain did not score a knockout blow, though he did do well. He let Obama off the hook for his connections to ACORN, Fannie and Freddie, and the current financial crisis.
By that measure alone, McCain did "lose" this debate.
I thought Obama spoke well and in beginning of debate on economic issues may have seemed more in command. However as debate rolled on McCain scored points and was clearly putting Obama on defense. McCain also seemed to have plenty of stamina and grit. His body language suggested he did not think Obama was a worthy opponent yet remained he respectful in his tone.
Obama is taller then McCain but is so skinny he seems like a youth.
I think the debate was a win for McCain.
Good grief! The headline reads that Obama won but the article says it was a tie and that the poll was biased because it oversampled Democrats.
CNN: "We lie, a lot!"
