I saw a poll today from John Butsmelliberal that had the race at Obama 120% McCain -20% with a margin of error of nothing.

[beethoven]

They probably used the cell phone list from the Obama Camp which lists people who signed up to receive the VP Choice via text message. More corrupt garbage. I do believe most of the current news is an attempt to discourage the Republicans from voting.

Exactly so. They wish to make it seem sooo inevitable that The Zero will win, that we should not even try............

[longtermmemmory]

this is important for the CNN “poll of the polls”

they need to have this wrong one from a “reputable” source to keep the “average” consistent.

this is propaganda.

[glennaro]

This is a last-ditch, all-out effort by leftist pollsters to discourage Republicans before the pollsters need to salvage what little is left of their credibility within a day or two of the election.

Remember the point Rush made in his newsletter:
"a united, committed, enthusiastic, can't-wait-to-get-to-the-polls, grassroots willing-to-do-whatever-it-takes-to-get-out-the-vote, Republican conservative base does not lose. They only lose when they are dispirited and don't show up. We outnumber the left. Don't dispute it. According to the Battleground Poll, 60 percent of the people in this country describe themselves as conservative or very conservative, and they have for the past 13 polls. It's just a matter of getting them out. Our base turns out when they are all fired up -- and the left has reignited the culture war, something everyone thought would not be a factor."

Why the HELL are they allowing ANY Republicans to be entered in that poll?

It might skew the results they want!

[Aria]

The PEW Republican vote suppression campaign.

I hope it backfires and makes the rats stay home because they think it’s in the bag.

[nfldgirl]

Oh Great! As expected, the local news here in Greenville SC leads the news at the half hour mark with this “latest poll” showing BHO with a 16 point lead over McCain. What garbage! How stupid, imbecillic can people be to spew this nonsense!

[Minn]

why does he need to spend time on an expensive half hour infomercial this week to make the sale?

What would you do if you had a few hundred million in laundered foreign donations burning a hole in your pocket?

[padre35]

Now that is a good point, how anyone can believe, let alone poll that Obamao is up by 16% is beyond me.

Basically, that would put McCain at Bushian approval numbers, and his negatives are nowhere near that high, this poll is les garbage...

[GWMcClintock]

Wow, this must be the first poll conducted entirely of Democrats!

[dools007]

Yes, I find it interesting that the McCain strategy to get out the vote is to make his election seem to be in a little doubt. The dem approach is to convince their voters the Marxist Onada is winning by blowout. Do you think the lazy little dem voters will be motivated to tear themseles away from some dumb soap to go vote—if they think their vote will not make a difference? I think many of them will opt for the couch and the potato chips.

It’s what happens when your version of reality is what you want it to be and not what it is.

If Pew gets govt funding, President McCain will cut them off on Jan 21....
So if RCP puts them in thier average, I will now have to remove it to get the real average...

Lemme see Gallup 2% IBD 2.8% GWU 3% Zogby 3.2% Rasmussen 5% Pew 16%.. Works for me... LOL

New Poll. Obama has 50 point lead over McCain!
Obama 70%, McCain 20%

A new NY Times/MSNBC poll of 'people' working at the New York Times and MSNBC give Obama a 50 point lead, and the elction is now a formality. Ten percent of the 'people' polled who work at both corporations were classified as 'undecided' -- as they didn't speak English. But the pollsters believed they leaned for Obama.

This is follow up of an earlier poll of NYT/MSNBC employees who were registered voters. That poll only had Obama by 40 points over McCain.

[Purrcival]

How long did it take you to wait in line today? I’m thinking of voting this week (I’m in Cobb County).

[NormsRevenge]

Is Nader pulling 5% ? I haven’t looked at down ticket candidates at all including Barr ;-). Cynthia McKinney must really be surging about now..

Please pray that the fix isn’t in. I know I am sounding paranoid, but the Democrats have worked overtime to put themselves in the right positions around the country.

There goes Pew polling CNN registered Democrats again. :-) Speaking of Pew, isn't that what people say when a skunk happens by?

[piytar]

They’ll try...
