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.

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

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.

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.

Obama padded gains in urban areas and with lower-class households

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

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

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!

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?

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?

I predicted this tightening would be reported by the media and poll players. I also predicted that they would then show an Obama rebound in the week before the election.

They are desperate to show Obama with the big mo headed into the election.

Don’t buy into any of this.

McCain/Palin are no better or worse off today than they were last week IMO. This is all manipulation.

I believe McCain/Palin will win.

This is about where McCain’s internals show him, according to McCain who was on Imus this morning, he is down “around 4 points.”

But...but, what about all of those other polls showing Obama up by 10+ points. What about Pelosi and others planning the victory party and saying it was 100% over and the ObaMahdi had already won the Presidency? [/dripping sarcasm]





YES TO MCCAIN-PALIN '08 FOR AMERICA





SARAH PALIN DRAWING HUGE CROWDS ALL ACROSS AMERICA

These polls are getting to be as useful as a hatrack on a moose. There is an incredible lack of consistency with anything from a tie to a double digit lead coming out at the same time. I have no idea how we should evaluate this information. My guess is that McCain is behind but I have no idea by how much.

I love this poll, but McCain is up 53-43 among 18-24 year olds? I hope that’s true, but a little unbelievable.

McCain will win big and pick up new states like Pennsylvania.
