A new Research 2000 national poll finds Sen. Barack Obama leading Sen. John McCain, 51% to 39%, with Bob Barr getting 3% and Ralph Nader getting 2%.
I expect the “big surprise” next month, something to take out Obama and replace him with Clinton, along with a built-in reason for Blacks to stay on board. Something like having a “love child” by a White woman.
You must be reading the wrong polls! /s
You’re both ignoring my qualifier of “almost”. Obviously mistakes were made, but as far as perception, it did its job. Those of us interested enough to look behind the headlines were not as impressed.
By the way it’s gonna get really tiresome if you people keep referencing the fact that I’m new here. I think you’ll notice I’ve mentioned it a lot.
Perception, no matter how the liberals want to spin it, is not reality.
The reality was that his trip was pure, unadulterated political opportunism and tripe, rife with gaffes.
That's the reality and it is a reality that is catching up with him...as well it should.
The whole idea of these skewed polls is to persuade fence-sitters and herd-followers to fall into the Obama camp, under the logic that “everyone else is voting for him, so maybe I should too”. Of course, it will work on some people, but as election day approaches and more of Hussein’s convictions and past is exposed, such an approach by the MSM will have lesser and lesser effect.
Bob f**king Barr. God I hate that ACLU assclown.
They've got 'till October to bring in bin Laden. When they do, the euphoria will silence the left and tank Barry's pimpularity.
I expect the surprise next month to remove Obama as the nominee in a way that keeps the Blacks on board. I expect the next big surprise to be some of the stories about McCain’s wife. The little nips and cuts on McCain will begin before long.
If osamaobama gets in, your tagline will seem like a lightweight....
“Obama’s leading McCain by some 25 points in California.”
Do ya’ think that’s just us citizens voting?
Wow, this is tough news, if true. I don’t really believe it though.
The MSM is in the tank for Obama. We have to get out there and tell people the truth - that Senator Obama is a liar and deceiver.
And this poll has Fauxbama getting annihilated by McCain by double-digits:

An internet straw poll of AOL customers is a horse of a different color.
Not comparable to traditional polling methodology and not a relevant sample of the attitudes of American voters overall.
That doesn’t mean that traditional polls running traditional samples of the population can’t be flawed...they can.
But it’s apples and oranges to throw in a completely different type of poll to compare with others...
sigh..as been pointed out about summer pres polls..ask Presidents Kerry, Gore, Dukakis and Mondale about summer leads..
“It pains me to admit, but what do you expect? Obama’s foreign excursion was almost flawles”
According to who exactly? The media grovels and revels in the crowds, the photo ops, the majesty of his empty speeches.
There was no substance to this trip to gain Obama international “credentials” and it’s no different than Hillary having teas in 70 countries around the world.
I tried to ignore as much of it as possible. The fawning media is creating its own post modern version of Peter Sellers’ “Being There” candidate.
And they marvel at their ability to do so.
I have never heard of this outfit. Is it a special creation just for this election?
Friday ... 7/25/2008 ... 9 am A new Daily Kos/Research 2000 poll of MS LVs, conducted 7/21-23, shows McCain leading Obama 51-42%. McCain led the previous poll, conducted 5/19-21http://research2000.us/
