Don’t go to DU.

[FReepaholic]

Don’t believe anything from them. Their strategy is to dishearten their opposition by making it seem they’re way in the lead. They did that in the primary.

[Rocko]

You expected to find the truth there?

These are only reporting large counties, i.e. counties containing Las Vegas (for NV), Chicago (for IL), etc. Republicans get their numbers from rural areas. This early chart is another attempt to demoralize Republicans and is garbage until it reflects the country as a whole — those numbers won’t be available until 11/4, probably late.

I cannot believe we have people that would just WALK into this...this is amazing. Complete rookie move.

[Windflier]

I hope they keep inflating the numbers, and call the whole shootin’ match for Obie before the polls close.

Our folks know better than to pay attention to the MSM, and will get to the polls anyway, while the DUmmies will slack off at home.

I don’t know why they don’t get the psychology of what they’re doing. They’re only going to cause their own to stay home. Our side ain’t takin no chances.

[Huck]

What difference does it make? It’s nothing you have any control over. Do what you’re going to do, and in a few days, we’ll all know what’s what.

LOL. No one does research on DU unless you are doing a thesis on mental patients.

Go back to troll school. You're too transparent.

So I went to go see what the DUmmies were up to... to give me an idea of McCain's place in polls.....

[zwerni]

anyone know which of the closer battleground states have early voting?

[Bubba_Leroy]

As of Monday, more registered Democrats than Republicans had cast ballots in the 26 early voting states where election statistics are available. Of 7.5 million voters who are registered by party in nine reporting states, Democratic voters outnumber GOP voters 57.3 percent to 42.7 percent.

Because these are statistics and not results, it's unknown which candidates the voters supported. Voters who register with political parties don't always vote for their party's candidates.

This may actually be good news for our side. All of polls of voters who have already voted show Obama in the lead, but none have shown a fraction (5 or 6 points) of the 15 point difference between Democrat/Republican registered voters who have voted. In other words, 57% of the voters who have voted so far are registered Democrats, but only 51 or 52% of the voters who have voted so far are telling pollsters that they voted for Obama.

What this means is that a significant percentage of registered Democrats are voting for McCain.

The polls of voters who have not yet voted and intend to vote on election day show McCain in the lead.
