Is this Obama’s bounce, or Gallup turned cheerleader for Obama-bin-Biden?

I thought other polls show the Obammunist tanking.

Biden...Bentsen...Biden...Bentsen...NAH, Bentsen wasn't an appeasing, lying, nepotist, plagiarist blowhard.

Sen. Biden, you're no Lloyd Bentsen!

It’s based on “national registered voters”. Thus, Gallup can skew it leftward as much as they want, but reality (remember the “silent majority”) is different. Nice job of Obambi damage control, Gallup.

We thought we could leave the FR sandbox unattended while we took a nap. But now we see there's a bunch of whiners wrecking everybody's fun- 'McCain's a RINO... I'm voting Keyes..' and the rest of it.

We had to get up from the Lay-Z-Boy and we're not happy.

“I thought other polls show the Obammunist tanking.”

Likely voters versus general population of voting-aged people.

Obama, the first candidate to ever get a bounce when his opponents VPs 17 yr old daughter was attacked....(by his own campaign reps and party)

Must be incredibly proud....
