Bad News For Obama: Polls Show That 6 Million+ Pro-Hillary Supporters Are Going To Vote For McCain
10/28/2008 | Laissez-Faire Capitalist

Posted on 10/28/2008 4:46:09 PM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist

A poll was conducted back In June 2008, and it found that the number of Hillary supporters that were going to vote for Obama was 58%, with 28% going to vote for McCain. The rest were undecided.

In September, another poll was conducted, and it found that things were unchanged for Obama. This poll found that the percentages were still 58% going to vote for Obama and 28% going to vote for for McCain, with the remainder still undecided.

If the remainder ends up splitting evenly, that will give McCain 35% of Hillary supporters that will vote for him and 65% for Obama.

18 million people voted for Hillary in the Democratic primaries. 35% of those 18 million voting for McCain on Nov. 4th, 2008, will translate into about 6.4 million votes for McCain - votes that Obama will not get - and would have gotten had he chosen Hillary as his veep.

This may account for why the MSM pollsters have skewed their polls and rampantly oversampled Dems, and undersampled Repubs - along with tainting their polls with extra blacks and college students being polled.

6 million plus axtra voters for McCain...

Wow.

Since early voting numbers show that few college students are turning out to vote early for Obama, even though he and his campaign have been pleading with them to do so, and with some polls showing that Obama's turnout of black voters won't be much better than John Kerry's were, the Obama campaign is worried.

This election is far from over. The polls are much, much closer than many realize.

most of us would admit that if we had to vote for ONE of them, BO or HRC, we would certainly choose the devil we know and that would be HRC. Even Sandy Burglar as Sec. of State would be a welcome alternative to whichever radical BO wants to appoint...

and imagine the SC judges he will choose!! Several mentioned were commie law professors that he admires, from Harvard or Univ. of Chicago...

BO scares the shiite out of me.

My senior citizen mother, God bless her, is a huge Hillary Clinton supporter. This year she’s voting for McCain. She’s very bitter about what she perceives was Obama’s theft of the nomination from Clinton.

No problem, Obama’s got around 70,000,000 dead people voting for him.

The United States needs at least two viable parties to keep one another in check. RePO with the MSM and ACORN blessing have Hijacked/Stolen the Democratic party for an elite few.

The Moderate Dems are Pizzed and want their party back.

If BHO wins damage to the Dem party may be irreparable.
They want Join the Rep party but the Moderate Dems and Moderate Rep could join up into a Super party that includes the Ind.

After all the Republican party was created from disgruntled Democrats that had had enough.

No matter how much resentment I might feel toward McCain and his natural RINO supporters I would never vote for a Democrat. How could the PUMA’s vote for us?

Ever hear of Regan Democrats? Regan himself was a dem, and then "the party left him". So he switched. Well, different generation, but pretty much the same reasons; "the party left them", the kook fringe has taken over - thrown reason out the window. That, and I suspect a lot of them are voting for Sarah.

It will be a long 4 years to keep McCain in line, reminding him the Conservative base is his constituency; not the PUMAS and MSM.

That's what Sarah's for. To keep him honest. Or at least try. We have to do our part too.

Pardon me for being cynical about the PUMA factor, but my own experience with McCain suggests that Ol’ Crusty’s admirers might not vote against Big Ears in the numbers we’re hoping to see.

Like many freepers I was decidedly cool to McCain, and it was only when it became a choice of a GOPer I don’t particularly like and a Democrat I detest that the former became my choice (palin helped there!).

I suspect a lot of Hillary’s supporters will revert to party form when the time comes to pull the lever. For many, voting Republican is probably only a little less distasteful than rolling in dog dirt.

But we’ll see in a few days. Sure hope I’m wrong.

I almost posted a vanity tonight and thought of you and didn’t. Lol
I instead posted my vanity as a reply to someone else’s post. I was afraid, very, very afraid. Lol

There will also be a huge amount of PUMAs that will simply write in Hillary Clinton. She could get as much as 0.5% nationwide.

Ok. This statement about oversampling makes no sense. Why do pollsters oversample Rats, just because a lot of Hillary voters will vote for McCain.

This should not bring any more Rat voters than GOP. More than likely the Rats will have no more than a 3% Rat advantage in turnout.

If my turnout prediction is true, and a lot of PUMA voters are going to vote for McCain, then he will get much more voters for him than predicted.

>>A poll was conducted back In June 2008<<

A long time ago. Now a bunch of them lost their 401Ks and they blame Republicans. Low taxes did not cause Wall Street to fall apart, but in bad economic times it’s tough for the incumbent POTUS’s party.

I agree that most undecideds will go for McCain at this point. This is precisely why Ford almost beat Carter. He went from 30 points down to a narrow loss to Carter. McCain’s got one week left to close the gap that Gallup says is only 2% now.

I apologize in advance for sounding ignorant, but what does PUMA stand for? I have seen the term mentioned over and over again, but I haven’t found the meaning - something to do with Hillary voters voting for McCain? Thanks!

HRC supporter here. I’m voting for McCain because I trust him. I don’t trust O. I can speak for many democrats in my family and in my business— 90 percent are voting Republican, most for the first time in their lives.

And as for downticket voting, there’s only one Democrat getting my vote this time around. I’ve had it with that corrupt party.

Glad to have you with us this election. BO sure did some dirty tricks to “win” (ha!) the nomination. I know Mac really respects Hillary and I believe he will treat her honorably and work with her WHEN HE IS PRESIDENT.

I just have to believe that in the voting booth, Bill & Hill will NOT vote for BO - never.

PUMAs are the folks who voted for Hillary, but have come to realize that she was cheated out of the nomination by Howard Dean and Barack Hussein Obama.

As a result of this, they have become very angry and dissatisfied with the democrat party, and are now referred to as PUMAs (Party Unity My @ss). They refuse to assimilate and unite behind Obama because they know they were cheated.

They are truly needed for America's success next week.

Also, Puma is a good name for their group because a Puma is a big, hungry cat.

Their group is very considerably sized, and I am fairly certain it numbers into the tens of millions.

That is why I view these folks more as allies than enemies.
