Columbus OH news: Palin in Ohio today, a crowd of 3500
Obama in Ohio today, a crowd of 65,000
This is BS. VOTE!!!!!!
Even if Obama wins, I sincerely doubt he will do so by 11 points. If this is their official prediction, they are about to be embarrassed.
BWAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
What utter crap.
HedgeHogReport.com rips this poll apart magnificently.
DJ Drummond at Wizbang breaks these up amazingly well too as does http://strata-sphere.com/blog/.
If this is accurate, then how in the WORLD would McCain be up in Ohio according to Mason-Dixon?
Some of these pollsters are going to have egg on their faces. I can’t wait. I am so damn ready to vote, and I know many republicans here in Virginia are fired up and ready to bombarde the polls!
The only democrat that has gone over 50% since 1964 is Jimmy Carter at 50.1%. No way Gallup can be believed.
If anybody had any doubt about Gallup being in the tank for Obama and wanting to create an outcome, then I think it is removed with this poll. There is not much doubt in my mind that this got put out tonight to be used throughout the day tomorrow to discourage our side, so don’t give into this. They are basically predicting an 8% advantage to the Democrats on election day in their writeup, no way.
I did a search to see “how accurate are Gallop polls?”. . .
The results for my question state they are pretty accurate??
I sure hope they are wrong on their current numbers.
Get out and vote: McCain/Palin
I was becoming concerned that everyone would converge in at 6. With polls all over the place, someone is going to be VERY wrong this time around. Perhaps so shockingly wrong that McCain wins this.. The differences cannot be chalked up to mere sampling noise.
Unbelievable. I thought Gallup would adjust to reality just before the election. They are so hosed, what idiots.
This is about the same news the pollsters handed the popular GA Jimmy in 1980, and he has been sore ever since.
The would be the largest landslide in the histoir of this Country. Not going to happen.
Pray for McCain/Palin and Our Troops
Gallup is drunk or stoned....this is going to be one of the most embarrassing polls ever....trash heap....
My cell has never been polled, as a matter of fact I haven’t been polled on anything but last month for “Card Check”
Why wouldn’t Gallup make there final numbers tomorrow night..perhaps they are trying to effect the election..
Obama up by 11%? Impossible. That’s approaching Reagan over Carter margin of victory levels, and that was a 400+ EV landslide for the Gipper. There are not enough states that are even battlegrounds this year to give Obama that kind of win, and even the cooked polls don’t give him enough of a lead in any of them to account for an 11% national PV victory.
This poll is junk, like the others, and will be shown to be such when we wake up on 5 Nov.
Gallup finally mentioned their party affiliation numbers in the article associated with their final poll. Here are those numbers:
Democrat - 39%
Independent - 31%
Republican - 29%
Here are the numbers from exit polling in the 2004 election:
Democrat - 37%
Republican - 37%
Independent - 26%
Here are the numbers from exit polling in the 2006 election:
Democrat - 38%
Republican - 36%
Independent - 26%
Do they really believe that the gap has gone from 0 in 2004 to +2 for the Democrats in 2006 to +10 for the Democrats in 2008?
