Obama polls way better than he performs at the ballot box. If I had to guess, I think it’s because voters tend to be for him in theory, as in the dynamic charismatic black candidate, but then they look at what he stands for and realize he’s a true hard left ideologue.
Also, I think political correctness hurts Obama bigtime. I think a significant number of poll participants are simply giving the politically correct answer.
Last, Obama does well among blocks of voters with historically low turnout #s. Namely, young kids.
Obama’s underperformance in the polls may be even more pronounced on Tuesday than in the primaries, because the politically correct pro-Obama media has had even more time to drill their propaganda into people’s heads.
I truly think that ALOT of people resent the way the media has behaved this year. I know people that aren’t political at all that have noticed the media bias this year and are voting Mccain mainly because of it.
There have got to be alot of people lying to pollsters and saying they will vote Obama. If, for no other reason, they just don’t want any trouble. They’ve seen what happened to Joe the plumber.
