Anyone care to guess what Gallup will show to today?
I am going to say they will continue the wave of doom and have Obama up +10 and +12 in the expanded version.
FReepers:
From here on out, I will give you some advise on how to look at these MSM polls.
Remember the Battered Bastards of Bastogne in 1944. The Airborne General’s famous reply to the overly confident German Army forcing a surrender: “NUTS”
You know the rest of the story.
Take these polls with a grain of salt. It is a close race now. The MSM and the dums are, like the Germans at Bastogne, overly confident. Just say “Nuts” to them, donate, volunteer, and vote!
Once again I will say this until I am blue in the face. NO WAY Obama gets 50 percent of the Vote. Get a life scotty boy. This is really setting up to be a tragic end for obama. These polls are damning to the media. Their will be riots if they dont come back before election day to “within the margin of error” This will be the only way the pollsters and media can say ‘They were fair and objective” This will be interesting. I can almost guarantee you that the polls will drastically tighten beginning later next week into election day. Another note to consider... If Obama was truly up 10 points Like El Zogbo claims or 6 for that matter as Rasmussen says McCain would have to convincingly lose Florida, Ohio and for that matter many other red states. Keep in mind Clinton won in 1996 by 8.5 points and Won Florida, Ohio,Kentucky,Missouri, West Virginia, Louisiana and Arkansas (Of Course) If indeed Obama wins by 6 to 10 points virtually all of those states MUST tilt to him. I dont see that happening folks. These own self proclaimed polling experts show Mccain ahead in all of these states or within the margin of error.
McCain had a 50-45 night last night, but O’s lead jumped 2 for some reason due to the vagaries of tracking poll math/rounding issues.
How do you know it was 50-45?
Say what? Only way McCain can have a 50-45 night and lose ground is if Rasmussen changes weighting.
Did you mean that Obama had a 50-45 day yesterday?
39.7% Democrat, 33% Republican, and 27.3% unaffiliated.
If Rasmussen is wrong, he is wrong because of the above.
I’d say it’s wrong because it should be, from what I hear:
50% - refused to answer
50% - 39.7(50) Democrat, 33(50) Republican, and 27.3(50) unaffiliated.
VOA Daily Tracking Poll has Obama + 3
You should just go get a gun and blow your brains out now.
WTF?
What is the VOA tracking poll?
that wouldn’t bother me. You vote Dem great...I”ll have to let a few people go. Should I keep those who demonized the rich or those who appreciate the fact that the rich tend to provide the jobs
Peddling you usual Doom and Gloom and pushing phony polls .
Right. I think the national polls are more for propoganda. Haven’t heard much MSM coverage of the battle ground states, where numbers are closer.
Voice of America tracking poll. They had McCain + 5 after the bounce and swung as much as O+8 during the financial crisis. I’ve been watching it as their swings are much slower than the rest. I am quite pleased that they have O+3 (McCain has been trending upwards ever so slowly). McCain will win this thing and the media will say it’s the Bradley Effect.
