John Zogby said the race mirrors the 1980 election, when voters didn’t embrace Ronald Reagan over then-President Jimmy Carter until just days before the election.
“The Sunday before the election the dam burst,” Zogby said of the 1980 tilt. “That’s when voters determined they were comfortable with Reagan.”
Now voters are wrestling with two senators with opposite resumes - Obama, at 47, the unknown, and the established 72-year-old McCain.
Finally a little good news. Keep the faith. We’re gaining.
When this is combined with the other polls showing a gap of 2 to 3 points, it’s still for the taking.
All of the polls seem pretty tight including Zogby, but what’s with that Gallup Tracking?
Here’s what I want: a side-by-side of ALL the polls currently, and at this point, last election, with the actual final results.
Ras gave Barry a lead of 9 points just a day or so ago. That means that McCain must have had some really good polling.
The more voters learn about Obama’s RADICAL past and radical intentions, the less they want that kind of “change”.
Amen people,we`re having an impact!Keep up the REAL truth squad,keep hammering away.
i still think Rasmussen has a deeply flawed poll
but i do believe in seeing trends...and there is a sure trend back towards mccain.
Most polls have a large enough group of "undecided" voters to push one or the other over the top and through the margin of error. I have a tendency to believe most people find pollsters as intrusive and annoying as Jehovah's Witnesses at your door. Saying I'm undecided makes them just go away. I don't really believe there are that many people who have not decided one way or another. I also don't believe they're voting for Obama, either.
If McCain is gaining ground it certainly has nothing to do with Tuesday’s debate. I think emails being circulated on the internet with real information about Obama are starting to help McCain. I probably get 4 or 5 a day.
BTTT
It’s time to drop the “Raila Odinga” bomb. A real game changer when looking at Obama’s associations with bad people.
BTTT!
Momentum is very important in this point in time.
With economic chaos the voters want an adult in charge. Not some young punk. Plus racist will not trust a black in charge of an economy in chaos. They want a boring old white dude
I think what we’re seeing is any time there is bad news, it’s bad for McCain since he represents the party in power.
If the economy calms down to a generic worry, as opposed to outright panic, McCain can easily win this thing.
