McCain has cut into Obama's lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday. The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point deficit to a 9-point lead among Catholics.

It doesn’t matter if I took the poll myself. We are in a PROPAGANDA War.

The MSM/Democrat strategy is to depress Republican turnout, it’s the ONLY way they can win.

The MSM called the election early in 2000 to try and keep us home.

The MSM called a Kerry landslide at 2 PM in 2004 to try and keep us home.

The MSM is calling an Obama landslide in October to try and keep us home.

The undecideds should really be categorized under “Both choices are awful.” What a crummy election. *sigh*

No matter which poll is right, if any, most will be wrong.

“...McCain winning that demographic as well. Very odd.”

I guess the younger set really would LIKE to be able to get a job after all. Reasons to have hope for America’s youth after all?

Also, I read on CNBC’s page that 51% polled by Zogby reject obama’s plan to re-distribute the nation’s wealth. Yet... their head-to-head poll shows the zero ahead by 12 pts. Go figure.

I don’t see how you can really analyze polls. They’re all over the place, and they’re all dependent on the sample used.

Look at the internals — 74-22 for Mac? WTF???

You mean the 18-24 age group?

It was 53-43 for Mac yesterday, and about even for the days before that.

Back on 10/13, it was 66-26 for Obama. So, either there's been a wide swing, or the sample size is so small that they are getting anomalous results.

Or, maybe the 18-24 group finally figured out what Obama meant when he said that everyone should be fighting in our wars, not just a select few.

Sure and as I said... all this propaganda crap has an unintended effect... it scares the crap out of the conservatives and they will vote...

I voted today. The early polling station was quite busy and from what I hear, covered up on Monday and Tuesday. Also based on what I’m seeing and hearing, everyone here is voting for McCain. This is a county that has a huge Dem voter registration advantage, BTW (they’re Reagan Dems, but still Dems). Bush barely won this county 52-47 in ‘04, but I expect McCain is going to win it by 20+.

The Dems think this high turnout favors them...needless to say, I’m not quite as certain. I think that small town like mine are going to turn out in unprecedented numbers to kick Obama to the curb.

I would have agreed with you if the race was Clinton vs. McCain.

However an Obama / Biden ticket vs. McCain / Palin is basically Stalin vs. My neighbor.

I don’t care if my neighbor is not a libertarian or conservative, it sure as hell is better than voting Stalin into power.

I think you could categorized a majority of those undecideds as "don't call me a racist" or "it's none of your business". As far as the top of the tickets are concerned, I might agree, but getting Palin in as VP needs to be done for the good of the country in the long term.

When it is all said and done, many of the older Hillary voters will think that Obama is just a little too scary. They will go with the more traditional vote with McCain then vote for their RATS down ballot.

Has anyone explained why the polls with weekend numbers favor Obama and the polls with only weekday numbers tend to favor McCain? Which is most representative for election turnout?

Those undecideds — they break HEAVY for McCain. Mark my words.

Yes, I agree. Most likely...at least 2 to 1.
