Sneak Peek: McCain Up in Ohio & Georgia Another sneak peek from Strategic Vision, which will be releasing polls in Ohio and Georgia tomorrow. Both surveys were conducted from Sept. 7-9 with MoE's of 3.0%.
In Ohio, McCain leads Obama by four points, 48-44, with 2% for other candidates and 6% undecided. This is SV's first poll in Ohio.
In Georgia, McCain is ahead of Obama by thirteen points, 52-39, with 3% for Barr and 6% undecided. Obama has dropped four points and McCain added one point since SV's last poll in Georgia at the end of June.

This is not true. I heard Obama already won Ohio. /s

Oh yeah, I think he won it “handily”...from what Bill Clinton said.
Nooooooo, Obama & Co. still have 3 more cases of ballots to fill out.
Strategic Vision is a Republican-leaning polling firm, but still a reputable one. This is good news overall.
Good.
National polls are trending good.
Lets start seeing some electoral numbers trending our way.
“Lets start seeing some electoral numbers trending our way.”
They usually run 1-2 weeks behind tracking polling.
Have no fear.
Many states haven’t had a poll since mid-early August. Like CALIFORNIA...
Interesting. I wonder if they brought this out early to counter that Quinnipiac poll of OH that is making all the news. (Still very worried about CO).
Good news from Ohio. McCain-Palin still need to pull VA, FLA, and maybe steal MI, MN, and take CO. The electorial break down is important. He must win those states. We know he is not going to win NY, CA, NJ, etc. He needs the others.
I think the Quinnipiac Poll has Obama ahead in Ohio. All of the other polls I’ve seen has McCain up 3-4 points.
Interesting. The McCain / Palin surge is starting to dig in deep into the enemy’s advantage. The tide may really be turning already.
A 3.0% MOE for a state poll is pretty good. More reliable than the Quinnipiac crap that came out today. The paradigm in 2004 was for W to hold OH and FL and he wins. Well in 2008 McCain is already looking good in those states and now we are talking about MI, WI, MN, NH, and PA...ok, CO too...but what does that tell you people?
Most here may dislike Obama (I loathe the man), but he has a shrewd campaign team and you have to be concerned about that. They probably have done the Electoral math and figured out how to almost guarantee themselves the narrowest of victories.
CO should be in McCain's column, but isn't yet. This is my biggest concern right now.
“you may be republican when you’r alive, but once your dead you’r a democrat”,..Old 3rd ward saying, Chicago.
The Zer0bama campaign does not have an effective response showing the ineffectiveness of the candidate himself. 0Biden thinks he is the wrong pick and as a seasoned politician with the whopping 8,0000 votes this year, he should know.
As McCain/Palin's numbers continue to increase beyond the scale of the Zer0bama's tire guage range, more money will be pulled from state where Zero has no chance of winning....
538.com (DEFINATELY a leftist site!) has McCAIN leading Obamamessiah in ELCTORALS!
OBAMA-266 McCain 272
Win Percentage:
O= 49.6%
M= 50.4%
Popular Vote Prediction:
Obama = 48.7%
McCain= 50.0%
CNN has Obama up in Ohio 49/44, but Real clear politics shows the opposite.
Remember the game changer started 13 days ago.
2 weeks ago, we had the Messiah give the speech and it was a foregone conclusion by a lot of people including Freepers that he was going into waltz into the WH.
McCain picking Palin changed that and its going to take some time for everything to percolate down.
Would you be in McCain’s shoes right now or Obama’s shoes at this stage of the game. Thats the question to ask and right now would be better to be up in CO but its definitely not over yet, by a long shot.
I wouldn't be. I'm somewhat familiar with the state, you've got one major metropolitan area that isn't even that die-hard Democrat, a major leftist stronghold in Boulder, and several liberal enclaves in the ski towns, but outside of that the whole entire rest of the state is solid conservative, not much different than the states that border CO. Not to mention, a Republican ticket that is very much pro-Western state that compares very well with a Chicago political hack.
I'm afraid Boulder and metro Denver won't be enough for Obama this year.
