AP/YAHOO Poll of 873 Democrats; 650 Republicans shows OBAMA 44%, MCCAIN 42%...
Ya, they were thicker than flies on a rib roast Mon. & Tue., not so much now.
But, because this poll was already posted and the good “Dr.” just joined a week or so ago, it fits the pattern.
It’s funny, really.
Reminds me of the movie "Idiocracy"; well worth renting from Netflix, if you've not seen it. It's a comedy about a future dumbed-down America saved by two very average people from the present.
Don’t you know the the race is over? The media said so and Michelle is already measuring the drapes. It is an outrage that the media is calling this election for Obama when you have polls showing a 2 point/dead even race.
We need to close registration three months before any election. These poll trolls and their little games are really starting to piss me off.
Amen!
Polls like this are sometimes orchestrated in order to set the stage for reports of a “fading John McCain” as election day nears. Sorry, but that’s the way these scumbags work.
Dear Lord, they’ve resorted to polling “adults”, overloading the Dem sample, and the best they can do is is +2% for the Squirrelmeister. This is fantastic.
At least you still have your sense of humor about it. I drive past a house with an Obama sign and just shout a barrage of insults about the mental instability and inferiority of the homeowner out the window. ;O)
I think part of me is unable to fathom that the race between McCain and Obama (a COMMUNIST) can be so allegedly close! I’m gobsmacked.
Barry has thrown 100s of millions into this election and it is basically tied with more than 10% undecided. Barry has failed to seal the deal.
There are a couple of poll threads putting the lie to the “close race”...
Like, yahoo & aol polls showing zero up by 2, with about 30% more dems in the sample.
Wow over sampled Rats by around 15% and he only has 2% lead!
I think we may pull this off!
Most pollsters are in the business to make money, and they rely on non-political polling between elections for a living. Elections are one of the few areas where poll results can be verified, so they have a real incentive to get it right, and the last polls before the elections are the ones that get noticed. Before that, they are free to work their personal agendas.
Thanks for the tip....I’ll have to check it out!
And of course we all know how that turned out.
I agree that the polls have been skewed. And, yet, I know more than a couple of people who will vote for Nobama...and some of them really should know better!! He’s making an appearance in my town today, and some of my co-workers just took off to go see him....I’m not sure I can ever feel the same about them.
I guess we just need to make sure we can get any and all of our peeps to the polls....NO ONE sits this one out!!!
It’s called “special sauce” and the pollsters have to stop using so much of it as election day approaches so they don’t look ridiculous afterwords.
Has anyone seen the numbers of likely voters in the general population broken down by party affiliation?
That’s the way I’m looking at 0bama supporters, too -
you people are actively promoting someone that is going to rob more of my labor, reduce my freedom, punish those who dissent, remove any restrictions on killing babies, and eventually not allow me to educate my children outside of the indoctrination system.
Why should I not despise them?
Stop looking at me swaaaan!
