RASMUSSEN Shock: Obama Lead Down to 3 Points... Developing...

[nhwingut]

Heads exploding at MSDNC... Watch the propaganda ramped up.

[itsthejourney]

Never fear, they’ll correct the typo by tomorrow.

[Liberty Valance]

Isn’t this the one that had him up double digits just the day before?

[Perdogg]

ping

[Terpfen]

Shocking only to Rasmussen.

Get rid of the oversampling and selective methodology, McCain is probably up 3-4 nationally.

[Bahbah]

Jeepers, I’m listening to Chris Matthews right now and he has Obama winning 340 electoral votes. LOL.

Are they going to self-deceive right through Nov. 5th?

[chet_in_ny]

They are getting worried about Rat voters thinking it’s in the bag and therefore not voting.

[RDasher]

Important reading on polls:

He’s only down by 3 nationally, while Ras’ battleground numbers still have 0bambi up by 5-10 in swing states. Since states numbers usually lack the national poll by 1-2 weeks, it means the numbers will show up nicely for McCain by Nov 4.

[jrooney]

This is WITH THE OVE-SAMPLING IF DEMOCRATS TOO. That means McCain is ahead nationally. With all of our continued hard push, McCain will win. Let us send the false propjet, terrorist appeasing Marxist Acorn invested Chicago politics Obama packing.

[The G Man]

Obama's chickens ... coming home ... to roost!

[LibLieSlayer]

I guess little scotties daddy told him to get it right by election day or he would put him in the sandbox for the next election. a$$mussen smells... not good... like a septic tank.

LLS

[kempster]

This is the time for you to convince anyone you know that is voting for a third party candidate as punishment to the RNC that the stakes are too high to be that dumb in this election.

Help drag John over the finish line. Rush should push this on his show today and tomorrow.

[No Dems 2004]

Very good. But get out and vote, folks. I have gotten my whole family to vote and I have voted via absentee.

[HerrBlucher]

This is prep for tonights Obamapalooza egomaniacal freakshow. Tomorrow Rass will show bambi up by 30 points all because of the half hour infomercial that will thrust the self important moron into the white house.

[conservativepoet]

This is going to be fun.

[CaptainK]

Scott was just interviewed on WOR radio and didn’t mention this. Wonder why?

[jilliane]

And on Nov. 5th they’ll persist he won 340; damn the Republican voter fraud and intimidation

[TexasNative2000]

But....but....but....the AP said he was 'gunning for a national landslide'......

/s

[Dawn531]

So Gallup and Ras are reflecting the same thing.

[careyb]

And that’s with oversampling Dems by 8 pts.

[gov_bean_ counter]

They are getting worried about Rat voters thinking it’s in the bag and therefore not voting.

... and well they should.
When it is "Broken Glass" vs "Lazy A$$", BG wins every time.

[tbpiper]

he has Obama winning 340 electoral votes

Well, he's right when you factor in all 57 states.

[Nicojones]

YEAH BABY! The Trend is our Friend!

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Crissy Matthews will need this :



And it won't be the tingling up his leg, but, the flow down his leg.

[gridlock]

Two weeks before an election, the polls report what they want. Going into an election, though, they have to report something close to the truth.

Two weeks out, there is no objective data, so they can’t be “wrong”. But if they are “wrong” on Election Day, people will remember that, and it will effect their future credibility.

Since they can’t report a 16-point shift the day before the election, the report it six days before the election, and hope nobody notices.

[Nik Naym]

“Let us send the false propjet”

That is one of the funniest spell check induced errors I have seen in a long time. Thanks for the chuckle!

(And yes, I know you meant “prophet”)

[Cedric]

At this point, I'm praying Obama changes his mind about his half-hour infomercial.......

my prayer is that, at the last minute, he decides to go for a full hour!

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Alex .. I’ll take “ they are all knowingly LYING to us! “ for $ 200 please.

[nhwingut]

Since states numbers usually lack the national poll by 1-2 weeks, it means the numbers will show up nicely for McCain by Nov 4.

I love the smell of liberal panic in the morning.

[wolfcreek]

That would be SWEET!

[HerrBlucher]

LOL!

[jrooney]

Lol. I missed that. ;) We could all use a good morning laugh.

[Michigan CD]

Does anyone know what’s up in Virginia. AP is showing Obama leads 49-42 in Virginia.

[mylife]

Ruh Roh....
Trouble in Baramadise?

[Prophet in the wilderness]

Is the info Obama freak show taped or will be be aired live ?
Let's hope Obama will say something revealing or something really bizarre

[jrooney]

Trust the AP at your own Peril. Obama will lose Virginia.

[jilliane]

The polls are all over the place and, as freepers have discussed, it does have to do with race and gender. The demographics sampled can reasonably predict a typical political race with “typical” white male candidates; but in this race, the pollster can miss the person next door who may have met the same demographic sample to be polled but holds prejudicial views for/against blacks and/or women.

As for this race, the range is all over but I’d feel better if McCain were ahead in them once in a while. By tomorrow, we should know.

[LonePalm]

Thanks for remembering.

With Democrat oversampling... McCain is going to pull this off and they know it. They can produce all the polls they want with Obama up by double digits, but it won’t fly come election day.

It’s about time that they started preparing the news media and the left-wing for a big letdown on election day. I’d hate to see any of them jump out a window.

[paudio]

RCP average, of course, still has 0 +6.3 because they still use the disgrace Pew +15. Take it off, and replace Ras’ number with +3, the average will be 4.9. How do you call a presidential race where the average difference in poll numbers is less than 5 a week before the election? According to the Dims and their media minions, electoral blow out with the journalist sleep early on election night.

[HerrBlucher]

I am sure its taped, can’t imagine that dippy would do a live show with all the risk.

[Dog]

Ole Ras is trying to save his polling ass.

[gridlock]

Anti-War Democrats should not waste their votes for Obama. After all, Obama has this thing in the bag, anyway.

Obama has backed away for his call for an immediate withdrawl from Iraq, and is even talking about increasing troop levels in Afghanistan. Now Joe Biden is saying we will probably be involved in a whole new war within six months of Obama being sworn in. A vote for Obama is a vote for more war.

Now, if Obama needed the votes to beat John McCain, an anti-War Democrat might be justified in picking the more anti-War candidate of the two. But Obama is up by twenty points across-the-board, so there is no reason to pick the lesser of two evils.

Anti-War Democrats should take this opportunity to cast a strong symbolic vote for the only truly anti-War candidate in the race, Ralph Nader. Nader is calling for an immediate withdrawl from both Iraq and Afghanistan, and would reduce the military budgets to the point where fighting future wars is not even an option. Nader would put an end to American adventurism and imperialism, once and for all.

Tell you anti-War friends, don’t waste your vote on Obama. Vote Nader in 2008!

[igoramus08]

And that’s with oversampling Dems by 8 pts.

With oversampling of Dems by x2 a more realistic spread, Bambi must be tanking if its only +3 Bambi.

[conservativefromGa]

I fear Obambi’s infomercial tonight will hurt us. I hope I’m wrong.

[GoCards]

SHUT UP/s

Woo Hooo!

[popdonnelly]

Matthews is a loon, working for a network that is watched by loons. MSNBC has no credibility. Shun it.
