Today at the office I (the secret office conservative) have taken this tack:
I’ve been putting a sad, hurt look in my eyes and saying, “I don’t understand what Barak” (always call him “Barak,” it makes it sound like you adore him) “what Barak is doing. He should be in Washington, doing his job. He should be Helping the People. Instead he’s getting ready for his debate. That debate could take place anytime, it doesn’t have to be tonight. He’s acting like an old-time politician. I don’t understand, I—I just thought he was better than this. I’m so disappointed.” Followed by heartbroken shake of head.
It’s getting results. It silences people who support him. You can see them thinking. Helps that as a mother I’m good at expressing exaggerated disappointment. ;-)
This is the same pollster who did Portait of America polls back in 2000. Sorry - not buying. He was way off back then. Had us thinking W landslide.
I’m sick to these stupid polls. Every day they flip and flop around, one in the lead by 4% points, the next day behind by 5. This is stupid. Nothing changes this much every day.
Scott’s is a tracking poll that lags the daily changes we see in others. Remember the 52-45 Obama lead a couple days ago? I believe that was Gallup.
I can always rely on you to post the ONLY POll hurting McCain. McCain Hater !You will never be posting Battleground Poll. Troll.
In addition to what I have already said, it simply isn’t possible that Rasmussen has Obama leading by 5 points nationally, but only by 4 points in Pennsylvania. If Obama was really leading by 5 points nationally, he would be ahead by 8-10 points in Pennsylvania. Again, the primary culprit here is a huge outlier Tuesday for Obama, which drops off tomorrow.
This is why I want McCain to go to the debate. He could clean Obama’s clock and take the lead back.
I guess my responses to a Rasmussen phone poll last evening (South West Ohio) didn’t show up yet.
Must be my lucky week, that was the second polling organization that’s called me this week. The first one was focused on the local Congressional race, but did ask about the Presidential race.
People forget that this is a 3 day Rolling AVERAGE, not a snapshot.
Again, McCain WON last night by 1.25%
I’m gonna spew...
The way I'd view these polls is the way RCP does it, but discount the blatantly biased ones, like the MSM polls... So... as of right now, with McCain +2, Gallup even, Ras -5 (Diageo/Hotline is Zero up 4), it's safe to assume that Zero is up about 2 points... Nothing to panic about right now.
I'm not voting for either of these candidates if they let people get raped across the globe.
