Headline I posted is on front page, headline at top of article reads: "Poll: Voters souring on McCain, Obama stays steady".

This article is a thinly disguised self-congratulation of the press for successfully smearing McCain thus far. What a bunch of lying, traitorous, unethical dirtbags.

Q: What do you call 100 drivebys at the bottom of the ocean?
A: A good start!

This explains perfectly why John McCain continues to gain in every single national poll.
Hell, imagine where he would be if he was just more popular...

Setting up us to be called cheaters, racists, etc., etc., in the case of a McCain/Palin win. The Dems are cheating all across the country but Big Media will not hold them accountable and, in fact, cover up for them. I can't believe my countrymen are behaving in this manner. No conscience at all.

The AP is making a full court press for Obama in these last weeks. Their assault on “Joe the plumber” is unbelievable. It shows that to go against Obama could result in grave consequences (just ask Joe...).

Is that why the polls have tightened?

Is that why McCain has gained with Independents?

These guys just make this up as they go along!

I saw this on yahoo’s main page but didn’t read it. Who did they poll,themselves? I think they may have a rude awakening on election day.

It’s a pretty broad incrimination of the gullibility of the American public, as well.

The more this type of stuff is put out there, the more lazy libs might stay home on election day. Not a problem.

I was in my local gun shop yesterday afternoon. You know, the one with the big McCain/Palin poster in the window and the picture of Sarah leaning over a dead caribou.

They are selling guns, ammo, and accessories like there was no tomorrow. The owner said my gun purchase was the ninth that day. The other guy working there said, “Everybody’s looking to buy ‘Obama Insurance.’”

.....Of course, as I say that, I don’t really believe it, either. This whole story stinks of the rotten propaganda the media has been shoving down our throats for months on end.

If more people would watch the two performances here, maybe we would stand a better chance.

This is why it's a good idea to use Search and use the correct title.

These media folks are McCain’s buddies. He must be longing for the days when he attacked Republicans and praised democrats and these media guys , his buddies, told us we need to nominate him, because he will pull over all the moderates, and democrats to his side. Guess what?? the media picked McCain because he was a loser. I guess if we have to have a candidate lose, McCain’s the best choice, very depressing.

LOL, did any of you bother to read this article? It's an Internet poll and the numbers are beyond stupid if you look at them closely.

Negative campaigning and a month of intense public focus on collapsing global economic and financial markets have not been kind to McCain. The new AP-Yahoo! News poll of likely voters, conducted this month by Knowledge Networks, shows more people viewing him favorably than unfavorably by just 5 percentage points, down from a 21-point difference in mid-September.

Notice they do not cite WHERE this alleged McCain 21 point + in past favorability number comes from? I have never seen these two candidates separated by more then 2-3 points.

"During the same period, Obama went the other way, increasing a 5-percentage-point net favorable rating to 15 points. Now, Obama is seen favorably by 57 Net difference in this "poll" is now 5 points, well within the margin of error. Then look at the demographics of this poll and get a good hoot while doing so:

"The AP-Yahoo! News poll included 841 likely voters was conducted from Oct. 3-13 and has an overall margin of sampling error of plus or minus 3.4 percentage points. Included were interviews with 373 people who initially said they were Democrats, 252 Republicans and 214 independents, for whom the margins of sampling error are plus or minus 5.1, 6.2 and 6.7 percentage points, respectively.

" "The poll was conducted over the Internet by Knowledge Networks."

LOL, check out the sampling:

Republicans-29%

Democrats-44%

Ind.-27%

And take a look at the sampling error!! In a world of garbage polls this one would take the Nobel Prize if there were one in the category.
