Hey Newsweek, nice try!
LOL. Yeah. This poll is more like it.
Barry received little to no bump after receiving the Dem nomination. He is screwed.
B.O. should be way out in front at this stage of the game.
Hope. Change.
Oh no, now Newsweek will have to rush out another poll and show Obama up by 20 points. The Newsweek editors are freaking out.
Newsweek reporting is suspect. Gallup has Obama up by 2. Rasmusseen has Obama up by 5. Fox News has Obama up by 4. These polls are more in the ballpark of where the race stands.
Hey McCain. If you can’t beat this anti-American clown by double digits, you are a complete incompetent and a complete disgrace.
This is a duplicate post. One came out earlier today.
Obama can have a 60-40 lead nationally, but unless he wins enough states, he will lose.
He can even win the popular vote by a big margin and still lose.
Numeours analyses have shown over the years that this is an impossibility. If a person wins by more than 3 percentage points nationally, there is no way he will lose the electoral college.
Obama can have a 60-40 lead nationally, but unless he wins enough states, he will lose.
The above statement is absurd. Anyone who wins 60-40 is looking at a 500+ electoral vote sweep.
Assuming a national poll is properly weighted, a candidate who is far ahead in the polls and far ahead in the popular vote is the candidate who will win.
Not really. Can you provide the link?
My point is that a national poll is not as important at the individual state polls. I stand by that statement.
If that happens there WILL be riots this time. If the election is even close and bambi loses.....riots riots riots. McCain has to win by a landslide to keep the peace. This is a scary election in so many different ways.
Of course but this far out from the election this is just part of the game.
Hopefully this is a good sign being all the good work the media has put in for Obama. The resistance is clearly evident and that’s a good sign nationally.
People need to learn more about the real Obama not the propaganda spewing Obamanation.
Let’s talk about Rezko and Obama and the little energy business thing in Iraq.
Good place to start.
If election year summer polls really meant anything we would have horrific memories of President Dukakis,or President Kerry.

My favorite.........AOL straw poll.
Sure, that statement is quite correct and defensible. I agree with it also. I was just trying to point out that if national polls show a wide gap (say 5-10%) then the EC follows. In close elections, like we have had recently, nationall polls are meaningless.
Barry received little to no bump after receiving the Dem nomination. He is screwed..
...considering he has not yet received said nomination, which will occur at the convention and not before, a bump at this point should not be expected, nor should it be used as evidence concerning the candidate’s electability...
