Why bother with just 13% bias in the polls. Why doesn’t the MSM just set the Republican fraction to 0%, then they can produce polls showing Obama ahead 75% to 25%. But, I suppose they want to maintain a level of plausibility on their fake but accurate story.

Exactly, newsweek probably polled their editorial staff for this one and threw McCain a few points so it’s not obvious.

More GREAT News!!!!

Soon we will see polls that ONLY sample democrats because as we all know Republicans don’t exist, no one in the MSM has any friends who are Republicans, why poll them, they’re just a myth.

Drive by media is the equivalent of Hitler’s Gestapo. MSM is no better than Al Qaeda operatives attempting to destroy us from within. They’re doing the dirty work for their Messiah.

As Ohio goes so goes the presidency and as Chillicothe goes so goes Ohio.

Whatever. Ohio was NEVER in play 2004, nor was Florida. But thats all we heard about. Bush won both handily. This continued perpetuating of the Ohio myth is distracting, and it takes our eyes of the ball..

All the better for us. The mush brained folks who can’t figure it out are the people that zero is counting on.

McCain's winning independents and he's behind by 11, democrats have a +13 sample advantage...

Hehe....McCain gets all the benefits of being the underdog without actually having to be the underdog. And then many people here wonder what the heck McCain is doing in places like Wisconsin, Iowa, and Minnesota. I don't wonder about it.

The media is working overtime to promote a false reality that Obama is actually electable.

When the average American actually votes, it’s McCain who has the advantage. He has vast experience while Obama has almost none, unless we count being CEO of ACORN. McCain is qualified to be Commander-in-chief of our armed forces, while Obama has never served, much less been an senior officer flying fighter jets off an aircraft carrier. McCain supports freedom and capitalism, while Obama wants socialism and more government control over our lives. McCain can honestly swear to defend the Constitution, while Obama is clearly opposed to much of it. Obama and the Democrat Congress will increase taxes, while McCain knows that taxes must be kept low.

The pollsters are in bed with the media, and both want Obama to win. When “exit” polls are conducted, they will no doubt claim that Obama won before the polls have closed. Then the facts will be tallied, with McCain emerging as the winner.

Just wait till election day when MSM starts calling states for Obama with only 1% or 2% of the returns counted

You got it. I saw a Free Press poll that had McCain at something like 32%. Bama is probably ahead in MI but it isn't by THAT much! It's a set up in case he loses, they can scream voter fraud and racism.

What women find attractive about Obama is beyond me. Sinatra didn’t make me scream and faint either.

No thanks. I don't want to see the "mush brained folks" heading off to the polls. All they see if job losses, high gas prices, and their retirement accounts dropping (if they have one). These people usually vote for the candidate who is promising to "tax the rich".

Hey Tator, thanks so much for the report and it is good to see you. I hope and trust you are doing well. Quite the election this year, eh?

All these Obama pimping polls are going to lead to an ugly race riot if McCain wins.

“Better numbers than Bush had four years ago so I’d say this is good news!”

I agree. It will make the day after the election even more fun when McCain wins and all the liberals are crying in the streets like they did the last two elections.

Glad to see you posting. I’ve looked at your posting history, and you’ve been spot on so often.

I remember four year ago I was knocking on doors election day. The radio kept saying the exit polls had Kerry winning big by noon Pacific time.

I'm not that fond of Sean Hannity but he was begging us to get out and vote. Kudo’s for him for that. So, it's not over until it's over...we have been here before.

If he's not doing well in OH, then its safe to say he's not doing well in PA and in MN and WI. Obama needs to keep all the states Kerry won in 2004. Plus flip NM, CO and NV to win the presidency. I don't really get that stat about white male voters. No way the majority of white men will go Democratic this year when they haven't for a long time. The MSM/Drivebys have created the impression Obama will win the election in a cakewalk. What the campaigns are doing and where the candidates are at tell a different and far more instructive story about the election.

Yep, as part of a very ugly election aftermath.

The bloom is off the rose for “That One” if he was drawing Palin like crowds you would see it all it’s glory 24/7 on TV.

Democrats will abandon Obama in droves on election day, I’ve been saying that from the beginning. Even the cooked polls can’t hide that fact, many lifelong dems will stay home too.
