I know it is politics like Obamas that will send us ovrer the edge and dont know why the republicans are not shouting it from the rooftops. And wha tis the matter with Obama he can hardly speak today.
All these ups and downs......I’m feeling bi-poller.
LOL. Looks like the Midnight Ride of John McCain to Washington was successful.
And I just checked Rasmussen is putting McCain ahead of Obama 49-47 in New Hampshire
Obambi got an undeserved bounce when the voters blamed the GOP for the financial meltdown. Now that word is slowly leaking out that the ‘Rats were the primary culprits, Obambi’s bounce has faded. Add in McCain trumping Obambi by returning to the Senate, leaving the manchild twisting in the wind like the clueless whiner he is, and things should start to turn around.
They do need to run more ads linking Obambi to Raines, Johnson, Barney Fruit, Dodd, and Schumer, though. Then go nuke with Jeremiah Wright, William Ayers, Tony Rezko, and the other lowlife cretins hanging around Hussein Obambi.
A night by night analysis of interviewing results, however, does not suggest that McCain had a dramatically better night against Obama on Wednesday. Instead, the data show that McCain has been doing slightly better for the last three days than he had in the previous week, and with some strong Obama days falling off of the rolling average, the race has moved to its current tied position.
This pretty much matches my internal calculations. A huge Obama day (Sunday) dropped off today. The last three days were essentially even, except that I have McCain narrowly winning yesterday (offsetting Obama narrowly winning on Tuesday -- I had Monday as even). I admit to having been worried that initial reaction to McCain's announcements yesterday would have been negative. Not any more.
I notice the usual poll defeatists have skipped this thread. I wonder why - any idea, CatOwner?
WoW!
Oh for... Political races do not fluctuate this radically day to day.
I’m beginning to think people saying they don’t know how to poll this year are accurate.
I’m just going to average RASS and Gallop together. I’m staying with my opinion that this race is tied and the debates matter.
Excellent news.
Can you imagine the result if you got to vote separately for Prez and VP? McCain might still squeak in, but Palin would win 70-30 over Biden.
Sheeh! These polls are a manic-depressives delight. He’s up (Yay!). He’s down (OMG!). He’s up (whew!).
This and every election is all about motivation and *turnout*. I don’t know about others, but I’m totally jazzed this year about voting.
Let’s make a vow to never again second guess McCain’s shrewd moves, those that the rats call Hail Marys. Obviously, he has the BEST minds on his side, and his gut instinct is, so far, spot on.
The Washington comPost/ABC poll was so filled with crappola everyone knew it was phony.
Even so, the pollsters are still weighting the dems 10% more than repubs.
Just beware the addition of a special sauce, i.e; an extra percentage of african americans.
The scary thing is, the election is going to be decided by people who have trouble making up their minds.
These polls are making me absolutely nuts; can’t help watching them but the results are so baffling. I believe I will just have to wait until November 4.....
I believe a significant number of people who have in the past voted Democrat are not telling pollsters the truth when surveyed. Given the attempt by their own party to label them racists, they are currently saying they will vote for Obama but may well vote for McCain come November. We’ll see but, I’m getting the feeling that this won’t be as close as 2000 and 2004.
McCain’s lead in Independents and his competitiveness amongst women are major differences for Republicans this cycle and the big question is those Reagan Democrats and, as I said before, they may well break for McCain in the privacy of the voting booth. Given the unbroken string of insults Mr. Obama, his campaign and the DNC have hurled at them both lately and in the primary season, they may feel little to no party loyalty at this point.
I could be wrong (wouldn’t be the first time) but, I don’t think I am. We’ll see in November.
Rush is talking about this and other good polls now!
