PRINCETON, NJ -- In the June 15-19 USA Today/Gallup poll, Barack Obama leads John McCain among registered voters in a presidential preference test, 48% to 42%. The same poll finds Obama swamping McCain in Americans' perceptions of who has the better grasp of the problems Americans face, while McCain leads Obama by a slight margin as a "strong and decisive leader."

UPDATE: Gallup Daily: Obama, McCain Still Tied at 44% No change in candidate positioning

PRINCETON, NJ -- For the third straight day, Gallup Poll Daily tracking shows Barack Obama and John McCain tied in national registered voter preferences for the fall election, each now with 44% of the vote.

You don’t need demographics. It clearly says *adults*. That means anyone who answered the landline and _said_ they were over 18.

We already know that a majority of those 18-30 will vote Obama. We also know that most people that age have cell phones. That gives us a good idea of the demographics.

I’m with you here pal. In 2006 most here believed the polls were bias and false, right up until we got our heads handed to us. I fear a lot of whistling past the graveyard is going on here again.

"So... folks here will cling to the daily Gallup poll ...."

I have no idea, and couldn't care less what "folks here" do --- I'm simply telling you I disregard ALL Gallup polls....

Their track record hasn't earned respect..

Obamaroid, GW has kept your ungrateful arse safe for seven years from a terrorist attack. He has taken the fight to al Qaeda all around the globe and is winning. He is the only POTUS in the history of our nation to get wins against abortion and the second Amendment because of his SCOTUS appointments. He has been the staunchest ally to Israel as a POTUS, according to Israel themselves and there has never been a POTUS more pro-life in speech and actions. Swallow that. Like I said you are transparent and will most likely get the ZOT sooner than later.

Obambi is a cipher! Who knows what he stands for?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

He is not such a cipher to those who do a little research! What he stands for is the downfall of this country, he is probably as great an enemy if not THE greatest enemy of America ever to be the presumptive nominee of a major party.
He is a closet muslim pretending to be a Christian, a petty narcissist, a former cocaine user by his own admission, a good teleprompter reader mistaken by many useful idiots as a great orator. A cunning fraud of little intellect mistaken by the same idiots as a man of intelligence and wisdom. A racist pretending to be a uniter. I can go on but I don’t have all day and I assume you don’t either.

“McCain is a maverick”

If McCain continues to run his campaign as he has the past couple of months, he may just as well be on vacation. He doesn't want to say anything bad, just be submissive and kind. Well, this will get him as far as the next donut shoppe. I don't care for McCain, but will vote for him because there is no other choice. I hate to see him give the election away because he can't speak evil of any man. He wants to show this kind decent man, we all know better. We know he can throw a fit, so whats up with this act. Someone best get to him and help him to see the light. Otherwise, we will have Obama for president.

Many people know little about Obama. However, it appears he is not an adulterer. He lies less frequently and less blatantly than McCain. He has not been caught losing it and shouting obscenities at other Senators. He is not as creepy and nasty as McCain. Etc. These topics enter into poll results.

We’re raising a bunch of new voters who want to be citizens of the world - they have no respect for the liberty that the US has paid for in blood.

Yes, the World Government indoctrination is really beginning to show.

Gallup’s track record with its FINAL (pre-election) presidential poll is pretty good ... see here:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/9442/Election-Polls-Accuracy-Record-Presidential-Elections.aspx

Gallup’s daily tracking poll is interesting to watch, but it’s way too early to worry about polls one way or the other at this point.

Apparently, Barry is going for an 8 year term instead of the usual 4. O campaign tells folks major health care reform (which liberals think will be their beloved universal health care) will not occur until the 2nd term and talks about coming to the end of his presidency in 2016.

He’s certainly the presumptuous Dim nominee.

...John McCain...

Who? I watch the network news, and based on what they say I though Barack Homobama was running unopposed.

Here’s something that shows Obama’s wonderful character:

Who would oppose a bill that said you couldn’t kill a baby who was born? The year after the Born Alive Infants Protection Act became federal law in 2002, identical language was considered in a committee of the Illinois Senate. It was defeated with the committee’s chairman, Obama, leading the opposition.

From this article in the Philadelphia Enquirer

This actually contradicts some other polls from just a few days ago.

Haven't seen the internals on this poll yet but the L.A. Times poll was 39% Democrats and 22% Republicans. Seems the only way Obama stays ahead is when more moonbats are polled.

What the polls tell me is that they are asking more Dimocrats questions than republicans, moderates or conservatives. That way the scue the results and make us all think that we might as well stay home, that we are going to lose, that Obama has it made in the shade. Obama is the biggest louse to run for president since Klinton or even before Klinton, back to LBJ and Jimmy Carter. People are looking at this thug like he is the second coming. They don’t give a tinkers damn about their rights and freedom and liberty. They only care about GETTING SOMETHING FREE from the government, because Obama is promising the world to them. Come 4 years from now, when everyone is not a millionaire, everyone retired and on the beach, everyone having total health-care, then America is going to see this pile of horse manure for what he is, a big taxing, big spending, providing nothing but lies and not fulfiling all his big promises. Obama will be a larger failure than Jimmy Carter. THE BIG QUESTION IS, can the Republic survive 4 years of Obama AND a Marxists congress?

Gallup long ago lost all credibility for suspect polling techniques

I guess that's why they no longer show the internals on their polls.  If Gallop has McCain this close, McCain must be whipping the Muslim militants butt.

I feel your pain doesn't make you a good leader and more government is not the answer.
