I can believe most of the numbers they report except for that 74% for McCain among 18-24 year olds?? Can’t be. Please tell me that is a typo and we can believe this poll. Otherwise I would reject it as being seriously flawed.

It’s not a typo. They explain that this age group is severely undersampled. That’s why the asterisk is there.

Maybe these kids aren’t as stupid as people think.
Maybe some white kids don’t want a black President.
Maybe some kids are christians and don’t want a baby killer President.
Maybe some kids are worried about the war and don’t want Obama surrendering to terrorist.

Look at the data again and you'll see an asterik next to the 18-24 year old age group. Then scoll down to the bottom of the data and the asterik says: "Age 18-24 has much flucuation due to small sample size"

I don’t trust any poll. I do have hope that those who pay federal income taxes are starting to realize that a President Obama with a Democrat controlled Congress will royally screw them.

Seriously, they’re thinking about getting rid of the 401(k) deduction and forcing us to invest in government debt instead of equities. Yeah, that’s a great plan for the economy and for the taxpayers of America.

I also would hope that the taxpayers will see through this arbitrary $250K threshold for tax increases. If he’s talking about raising somebody’s taxes today, it’s highly likely he’ll be raising yours tomorrow.

CBS, I think ran a poll saying that McCain had become 'negative'. Well, hells bells, Obama doesn't need to go negative because he has CBSNBCABCCNNPBS do it for him. Anyway, the truth about Obama is coming out and he is starting to tank. You can sense that he is starting to grip. It is starting to slip away for the ONE.

I remember a few weeks ago when there was a YouTube video of “the bunker” where Hitler whines about Palin kicking his butt.

Seems so appropriate now.

“Carribu Barbie” punks the “chosen one”.

Only in the last few days have I started to think that many people might at last start having reservations about Obambi.

Do they really want this guy to be POTUS? Do they really want him with the keys to the kingdom, the launch codes, the football, our national security secrets?

Good God, think about that. A naive, black racist, Marxist traitor with our national secrets and nuclear launch codes? God help us if this pathetic Marxist traitor doofus wins.

Obama is the end of freedom, America, Western civilization and the world. Doomsday and the Apocalypse all rolled into one.

I hope that is right. Why such a small sample for that age group? I would think that would make the poll less accurate. Maybe it’s time for McCain or one of the indy groups to run an ad saying only one party proposed a draft in the last 4 years. It was the Dems, and their hero Charlie Rangel!

McCain seems to be closing strong, but if he doesn’t answer Hussein’s prime time network TV infomercials, he’s finished.
