This is really getting ridiculous. So we’re to believe that with the market up and all the Obama dirt coming out that he’s up 13 points, 5 points from yesterday alone. The dems must really be putting pressure on these pollsters to increase the dem weighting. Look what they did to Gallup.

This used to be a good poll (not a great poll) when they controlled their samples by Party ID and used a turnout model that reflects actual data from recent past elections. But now....

If the pollsters are deliberately skewing their internals to overstate Obamas support, and if on Nov. 4th McCain wins, the blood that runs in the streets of our inner cities will be on their hands. God have Mercy on them.

Humans have a bad flaw and democrats are a prime example of this.

They judge everybody as themselves. Therefore the think if it is in words, it must be true.

The reality is, most of us know that there are more untruth written than truth, so we treat everything as untrue.

Liberalism is a mental disorder

Hard to believe there could be that big of a shift in such a short time. Battleground still had McCain up by a very small margin even after the financial problems began, as I recall. Now he is down 13? Unreal. That is an 8 point difference from Rasmussen too.

That Gallup poll posted earlier with a 50-46 spread... Do we know is that from today? (I know it was posted on National Review with a 10/14 date.) I thought we saw those same numbers Sunday then someone yesterday posted that Gallup’s margin increased to 7. Something is off somewhere. Hard to imagine the numbers among pollsters could be so different.

This stupid poll is telling us that Jeremiah Wright apprentice is getting more popular vote than any other democrat candidate since LBJ got in 1964. Biased is not anymore the right word to describe these polls, they have gone totally insane.

I didn't. I've made my opinion on these polls, regardless of what they say, very clear.

What is the motivation?

Yet another FR n00b posting garbage polls. Man, it sure does seem to be a stunning coincidence that every garbage poll is posted on FR by a n00b.

Well, if these are push polls, let’s all make sure we push back on election day.

Everybody be sure to get out and vote. Do not be discouraged. Please get out there and vote. Don’t decide to not vote just because of the news and polls.

I can’t believe how the MSM is in bed with Obama and Democrats. I will be very interested in the final vote count, and seeing if these polls trending Obama for about the past month were really accurate.

I’m concerned though, that if McCain wins a narrow victory, the lawsuits will start. We’ll have to hear about hanging chads and recounts being done in some states if it’s close. We’ll have to listen to people like Jesse Jackson holding court, and saying that police roadblocks near a polling place intimidated certain types of voters from going in to vote.

The only way to avoid vote counting nonsense is if it’s a big enough margin that re-counts and lawsuits would not change the outcome.

Remember in 2004, the MSM and Democrats were dying to make Ohio the Florida style re-count location of 2004. Apparently there were many provisional ballots cast in Ohio that year that had to be sorted out. But because Bush won Ohio by about 120,000 votes, the re-counting and verification of the provisional ballots didn’t change the outcome. Just wait and see — if there are challenges to ACORN voters in some states, and those particular states are very close, we could see Florida style re-count circuses.

Not to mention, those pundits who say that violence is a possibility if Obama loses this election.

Three weeks to go, we’re on the home stretch. Anything can happen.

The strategy is to kick up the polls for O after all this dirt comes out to show that "negative campaigning" is having the opposite effect and therefore McCain should stop. Its a trick to try and get the McCain campaign to stop the very effective tactics of showing Americans that bambi is a chicago thug commie fraud. They are scared it is working and doing all they can to end it.

LOL! Palin is raking in crowds in the 20,000’s and O can barely eke out 3 grand and he supposed to be leading by 13 points....yah right.....complete garbage.

The party faithful and the curious go to rallies. What concerns me more are the fencesitters who stay at home and are too easily swayed by the blizzard of polls showing Obama ahead, and by the constant drumbeat of liberal news achors who are in the tank for Obama.

We need the undecideds if we are going to win this election. I just have a bad feeling we're going to lose them thanks to the liberal's nonstop propaganda machine.

Among a measure of “likely” voters that takes into account the individuals’ past voting histories, Obama leads 50%-46%. (Margin of error: +/- 4 percentage points”

gallup/USA today poll saids it is a tie
