Rasmussen showed McCain gaining 2 points as well.....
Do not waste your time and energy on polls even if it is good for our side. They are biased against McCain and they are not capturing what is happening on the ground. McCain is going to win.
G Man, the pollsters are playing rope-a-dope with Republicans. Watch. Soon, BHO will have another 6 point lead or so.
STEP 1 - Polls go up for Obama, down for McCain.
STEP 2 - McCain becomes concerned, shows some life
He gets some backbone and becomes more aggressive and conservative.
STEP 3 - McCain goes up in polls, Obama goes down.
STEP 4 - McCain looks at improving polls and says:
"The polls are moving my way so I don't need to be too harsh.
Democrats won't like me if I am too aggressive and too conservative.
I will just back off and take it easy so people don't get upset."
STEP 5 - Polls reverse course.
STEP 6 - Return to STEP 1
Repeat until November 4.
Please keep up with the prayers.
Let’s stop attacking our side and keep the focus where it belongs.
As for bashing the bailout. How about we bash how we got there. It’s like blaming the aspirin for the headache.
The polls of course will tighten.. Guys, no pollster wants to be horribly wrong ON election day.. they will get their sampling targets and statistical models more accurate to reality as the election nears.
Remember, in the late primaries time and time again Fauxbama went into elections neck and neck in the polls and lost and lost big in the primaries. Relax.
National polls mean absolutely nothing. McCain may be gaining in Texas for all we know. The only polls which matter are battleground state polls. And, for now, those are still very bad. McCain needs to have Palin step it up big time this week on Ayers, Rezko and Wright, and be more prepared for a more personable, more specific presentation in the next debate.
Poll up, poll down....
FIGHT FOR IT!
Doesn’t matter.
We don’t fight, we cannot win!
GIVE THEM HELL!
If you haven’t pissed a liberal off today, you wasted your day!
Donate, contribute, spread the word, volunteer, blog with effective and pointed arguments where undecideds can see, be civil always, let the Obamunists namecall. It serves them not.
We can win.
Do not let polls dictate your belief in that.
Fight, then you can look yourself in the mirror no matter what happens.
Has anyone considered that it’s in the pollster’s best interests to have the polls tight all the way?
Why bother with polls if one candidate is consistently showing 6-10% ahead? The pollsters stay in business by ‘predicting’ close races.
The polls don’t matter until a week out. That’s when the pollsters start being honest, because they want to accurately predict the winner.
