Yet the drive-by media keeps telling us what a wonderful boost Senator Obama got from his "most excellent adventure" and how the world adores him, and on and on. Reminds me of 2004, when the left-wing English newspaper "The Guardian" ran a campaign to have their readers write to voters in Ohio on behalf of Senator John Kerry. The county they aimed at switched to President Bush that year! I see the same thing going on here. Never has a U.S. politician been so arrogant with so little to back it up!

Meanwhile, polls still show Kerry 17 points ahead of Bush...

“insignificantly ahead”
What a funny way to put it. Sort of like that old left-handed compliment; “You don’t sweat much for a fat girl.”

All these polls are manipulated. I put a +/-10% on all of them.

A blow out for McCain in November. People see right through Barak the magic negro.

SOmebody should gently break the news to Newport and the author that Obama underperorms his poll numbers when folks go into the poll booth. Not looking good for Barack.

I think we should have a election every day until November 5 and the candidate with the most cumulative votes would be the winner.
That way today's polls would have more significance.
Imagine how many votes there would be on November 5 if it were tight.

This is a weekend poll which usually trends left if I am not mistaken.

I’ll take it. But was the word “insignificantly” necessary?
To: 2ndDivisionVet
Why are you looking at, much less posting about, polls?
At this point, they mean nothing. Carter beats Reagan. Dukakis beats Poppy. Gore beats Bush. Kerry beats Bush.
Foolishness. Nobody is paying attention to this yet, and nobody's opinions will matter until October 15, if then.

...that old left-handed compliment; “You don’t sweat much for a fat girl.”Oh, I like that. I'll have to remember it for a special in-law.
I was wondering, did you get "EggsAckley" from an R. Crumb comic strip character?

Meanwhile, polls still show Kerry 17 points ahead of Bush...And CBS News is calling Florida for AlGore...

Its quite possible McCain had a real lead since May but people lied to pollsters or didn't bother to tell them who they preferred. That tended to make Obama more popular than he actually was and it also fit in with the MSM's template of Obama's election as "inevitable" in November.

If it was a Democrat, they'd call that a "sizable lead". With a Republican, its always the other way around.

So Gallip found out when you poll Germany Obambi wins? I wonder why they did that ... LOL.
Obviously, someone had to draw the short straw for the Obambi bounce poll news.
