More often than not, a person categorizing themselves as ‘independant’ tend to be nothing more than liberals ashamed to say they’re Democrats.

We need to look at the true internals. How much support does the respective candidate have in each demographic? Without being able to compare apples to oranges, this is a junk poll!

The results from a sampling like that makes no sense... I’m certain there was some lying and fudging going on... if the intent was to demoralize the Conservative voters... forgetaboutit!

and if talk-radio is any indication, liberals frequently identify themselves as “life-long republicans”.

The left and their willing abettors try very hard (as they have done for years) to spin and work the numbers in any devious and tilted way they can to say that their candidate is ahead...so as to discourage other Americans and try to get them to "join the crowd".

With the differences in this election, and particularly with the selectionof Sarah Palin on the McCain ticket...that simply will not work...and they know it. Thus the all out, vicious attacks on her in concert with their junk-science polls.

But the more the MSM and DNC try to either smear, besmirch, or twist Sarah Palin's words and experience, the more people all over the country will be drawn to her.

It's because of something the left and the elite cannot comprehend and are blind to.

Sarah connects with everyday people. She was mother who wanted to make a difference in her community and joined the PTA and it went from there. She didn't need an ivy league degree in Political Science, she didn't need a law degree, she didn’t need rich connections, she just needed honesty, integrity, her faith, and a desire to serve.

She didn't seek wealth, power, or high position...it just happened and that connects with most Americans of all stripes (outside of the leftists and elitists whom she threatens) who in their hearts want to try and help their communities and improve things for their kids.

As a result, Sarah Palin is shaking the Democratic leftist-liberal house to its foundation, and bringing it down. She and her family, their faith, their values, and their story represent the absolute refutation of all the tired old liberal mantras and victimology that they malignantly use to mentally, pshycologically, and financially enslave whole classes of people.

From women's rights, to family values, to gun rights, to abortion, to energy policy, to taxation, to envrionmentalism, and on and on...she is a wrecking ball to the leftist, liberal, socialist house.


SARAH PALIN TRUMPS OBAMA-BIDEN

C-->BS appears to be engaged in trying to prop up the poor widdle feelings of Obamassiah and his minions.

An Independent is also someone who lives in the midst of liberals... and doesn't want to take the heat liberals emit when they find out a conservative is in what they consider their territory.

The truth is, the only polls that matter now are battleground state polls like those from florida, ohio, michigan, pennsylvania, virginia, etc. National polls are meaningless.

Today’s polls should give a better indication of any true movement.

by about 2-3%.

People here seems to always forget that there ARE more democrats than republicans. So the polls will reflect that.

That’s the way I took it. Not sure how you could take it any other way.
