Day 19: IBD/TIPP Tracking Poll
The race showed little change Friday, with Obama's lead ticking up 0.3 point and most internals stable. The Democrat's advantage with independents narrowed a bit, with 13% of them still undecided. McCain regained his advantage with investors, but Obama kept the 9-point lead he jumped to with seniors at midweek, and he's now in front for the first time with suburbanites.

I don’t think so!
The polls show that Lord 0bama has won.
So just stop this stupid and outdated technicality of an Election.
0sama/bama is now our FUERHER UBER BAMA, er president of America and the entire world.
With all this good news for the Obamacorns, why is the “messiah” going back to Iowa where he already leads McCain by double digits?
The internals of this poll are way to volatile to be taken seriously.
It’s Friday. The election is Tuesday. Things are not looking good.
say what you want as you whistle past the grave yard....but this ain’t good.
Undecideds will break for McCain. The end.

if seniors do go for Obama, that is bad. I figured enough seniors were smart enough and experienced enough and know enough history to see through this fake.
I guess all these social security attacks work. They do them every time.
Not a whole lot of point to the polls anymore.
Some polls do seem to show a small bounce for the 30-Minute TV special, which is what I kind of expected.
Gallup, IBBD, etc., Seem to have this one-day bump going on, which I would assume is the “bounce” from the TV special.
At this point, the only worthy conclusion is that thongs are tight (2-5 points-ish) with the turnout models being used (with which we all disagree).
So Mac has a shot - gotta win the key states to do it!!!
Uh-oh. The “most accurate poll in 2004” is showing results we don’t like...so it is back to being just another BS poll again.
Funny, how when one poll goes up for McCain there’s another poll that shows McCain going down.
It’s like these pollsters are colluding with each other.
No way undecideds break entirely for one candidate. 60-40 at best. Basically at this point late in the game, the polls need to be wrong en masse, or McCain is done.
It’s a 4 point lead, with the vast majority of it huge turnout in NYC, LA and Chicago — none of which matter.
I cannot recall EVER seeing 8% undecided in a poll 4 days before election day. Add the number of refuse to respond and you have a formula for the destruction of the polling industry.
I wish they would release the state by state polls. These national polls are worthless.
I’m tired of the pessimism here. It’s like talking to liberals.
What are the internals of this poll? I thought this poll would track for more McCain in the closing days but it’s going the other way. If this poll is supposed to be the most accurate one, it doesn’t look good for McCain.
Dick Morris said that Obama needs to be at 50 percent to win. He’s not going to make it. McCain will prevail.
