Barack Obama's world tour scored big points back home.

The presumptive Democratic nominee jumped to a significant 9-point lead over GOP rival John McCain - his largest lead since the Gallup Poll began tracking the general election horse race in March.

Obama tops McCain, 49% to 40%, among registered voters nationwide, Gallup's daily tracking poll conducted from Thursday to Saturday revealed.

"So our choice is between a faux 'Captain America' who wants Mexicans to pick our lettuce"

If it were only lettuce, see that's the bait part of the bait and switch scam McCain and Bush tried to sell America. Dr Juan Hernandez, McCain's Hispanic Outreach Director, stated: “We must not only have a free flow of goods and services, but also start working for a free flow of people.” I only point this out to say when McCain revives Amnesty (and he will) conservatives shouldn't feign shock or ignorance.

Here I see an Obama advantage with women voters who will not be thrilled to have Cindy as first lady. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

And we should be thrilled to have Michelle as 1st lady?

I think that the polls are rigged by the media, and twisted in their sampling to maximize the number who support Obama, using selective demographics.

Other polls are showing McCain in the lead.

Americans are not as stupid as the Democrats think. We have that going for us.

They see Obama, his preening and manipulation, his unexplained media support, and they get the feeling someone is trying to sell them a "good used car."

Obama is a clunker. Buyer Beware.

And as days go on here, more and more Americans will know Obama for who and what he really is, a stone cold totalitarian , black power nationalist, fascist politician. Hillary is betting that the Dems will want Obama out by convention time. She could be right.

Obamamesiah. Save us! ( sarc. off)

Ooooh Cindy worked with handicapped children. Yeah, that's a real dealbreaker.

I'd much prefer Ms. Ballbreaker Obama.

Just wait until AFTER the conventions. I don't know.... Let's see... Watching a video of Barack the “Community Organizer” rising to serve only one year in the senate before heading off for his worldwide campaign tour.... OR... America viewing the the video of McCain in a prison camp and hearing his compelling story maybe for the first time and then comparing his 20+ years of experience in the senate.

Game, Set, Match; McCain

Funny.... this poll claims Obama widening his lead over McCain, while today’s USA Today poll shows the opposite - that McCain has taken the lead...

I guess you put out enough polls, one of them will eventually be right...

USA TODAY/Gallop poll: McCain pulls ahead 7-28-2008

Oh this is rich! With Obama leading I have never seen a ‘Warning’ disclaimer!

If McCain pulls out by much more the Old Media is going to have a meltdown!
