IBD/TIPP Poll Tightens

IBD ^

[zaker99]

Contrary to other polls, some of which show Obama ahead by double digits, the IBD/TIPP Poll shows a sudden tightening of Obama's lead to 3.7 from 6.0. McCain has picked up 3 points in the West and with independents, married women and those with some college. He's also gaining momentum in the suburbs, where he's gone from dead even a week ago to a 20-point lead. Obama padded gains in urban areas and with lower-class households, but he slipped 4 points with parents.

I think the polls are coming around to reality finally not that we were ever that far behind anyway.

This is good news. McCain is gaining among the right demos.

[gundog]

Strange, but the TODAY show opened with a “story” about the MSNBC/WSJ poll which shows Obama up by 10 points, nationally.

[hflynn]

AP just release a poll saying Obama leads by +1 over McCain.

Obama must hav eshit in his pants 3 times.

Crikey, these polls are everywhere.

It just goes to show, we need to keep plugging and chipping away on Obamao, we can still win this election.

He's also gaining momentum in the suburbs, where he's gone from dead even a week ago to a 20-point lead.

This is reflected even by my (non-scientific) sampling in Southern California. This should be Obama country, and Kerry-Edwards had a HUGE presence out here in suburbia in '04. Even my coworker has a moonbat neighbor who has a "Selected Not Elected" bumpersticker next to his Kerry-Edwards sticker. The Kerry sticker is gone this year. But no Obama signage appears next to it. Curious stuff.

Also, hardly any Obama bumperstickers on my commute compared to 2004 with Obama stickers left and right. On the flip side, there are fewer McCain stickers than I remember compared to the W '04 stickers. Interesting times.

Got a link for that poll? Thanks.

Watch where the candidates go in the next 12 days. That will tell you what their internals are saying.

As of today I see the race fulcrum on CO, PA, VA, and FL.

No Dr... Do you remember about 2 or 3 weeks ago he predicted a McCain Landside?

Google it my friend! My Best, Taildragger

Lower class?? When did America have "classes"? Maybe they are referring to Hollywood (but they would probably say "no class households")

[Old Retired Army Guy]

Fox came out today with a +9 for O. These things are crazy. Time not to pay attention to them anymore.

[avacado]

Interesting stat from that poll is that Obama has 23% of the Conservative vote? And Zogby had Obama with 21% of the Conservative vote!

Okay, I am going to be nice about this, but the Conservative FReepers who are voting for Obama need to step forward. We’ll be nice to you, promise!

Thread is now on Free Republic or go to Drudge link in RED on top

[laconic]

Do not be put off by Zogby, NBC-WSJ and the other polls. Drudge is now headining an AP poll, released TODAY, that shows the race TIED! Do not give up, that is exactly what David Gregory, Olbermann, Andrea Mitchell and the rest of the phony “journalists” want you to do and I wouldn’t do ONE THING to please them.

Our local news here in the Philadelphia area reported a poll taken by students at a local school. I believe it was a college, but I do not remember other details. Very interesting results that I have not seen anywhere else: 45% Obama, 30% McCain, 5% Undecided, 20% Refuse to answer the question. Ok, in this poll, Obama is up 15%. However, 20% refuse to answer the poll question. My husband says its because kids conducted the poll. However, I’ve heard of anecdotal stories about large numbers of hangups. 20% is large enough to throw the election either way. The well-know national polls do not report hang-ups, I take it?

[justlurking]

What's the deal with all the undecideds? Does anyone remember 12.3% of voters still "not sure", two weeks before election day? I can't find IBDD's results from 2004, so I don't have anything to compare this with.

What do folks think: does the high percentage of undecideds reflect their uneasiness with both candidates? Or are they people unwilling to admit they won't vote for Obama?

[Logic n' Reason]

OK....so the Rural, midwestern, 45+ year old white male who is a republican and is classed as a "middle income" earner; is a conservative protestant, wears a flag pin and has some college is going to vote for mccain.

All the rest are voting for obammer....

At least according to yet another stupid poll.
