If the election for President and Vice President were held today and you had to make a choice for whom would you vote?

Ouch.
This is WAY above the lead of other polls so I am not in denial that Obama is in lead but there is no way in hell he is going to win by 13 points.
BS!
I believe Battleground recently had to change its party weighting to favor a higher percentage of Democrats due to the anticipated “youth vote,” at the behest of the Democratic partner.
Unless this Kenyan gets pitched off the ticket we are in for many pitched battles.
Woa!
Nowhere to go but up?
I have not posted here in awhile (just lurking), but there seems to be a lot of new posters on FR citing to all sorts of polls. Just saying.
Three weeks to go, and the polls are discouraging.
On some of the electoral vote map web sites, Obama is getting 353 electoral votes, to 185 for McCain. If that really happens, you are in landslide country. Even reliably red states in recent years such as Indiana, Virginia, and North Carolina are now considered too close to call on these sites. Is this for real? I guess we’ll know for sure on Nov. 4th, but it sure looks like a trend towards Obama. Ever since the Wall Street crisis started, Obama has benefited in the polls.
Polls go from 2 to 13 points?
IMHO, these are push polls, heavily weighted in sampling to the dems and meant to supress the GOP vote.
SARAH PALIN DRAWS HUGE CROWDS ACROSS AMERICA
...and this:
you rang?
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.
Funny. My poll had it McCain 85%, Mickey Mouse 15%.
If Obama wins by 13, it will mean America deserves the judgment that follows.
I think McCain is behind by 6-7, but still has a chance to pull it out. Lots of undecideds, and they may decide not to vote.
Wow. What a huge load of crap. Why pollute FR with this?
I don't think I saw this wide of a poll spread at any moment in time during the 2000 and 2004 presidential campaigns. Seems like everyone is guessing at what having Obama in this election really means.
I don’t think that this poll is a case where it is slanted so much as Battleground is starting to look like they have no idea what they are doing to obtain decent sample data this election cycle. Now this may be a problem with all of the polls, but I think common sense says that this is a serious outlier when you consider the rest of the polls.
And most of 'em haven't been on FR very long.
They're trying to suppress the GOP vote.
Don't fall for this crap.
