Agreed. I don’t think the answer passes the “smell test.” I find it hard to believe voters trust Obama in every category. Something isn’t right here.

Yes, what “isn’t right” is the POLL, LOL!

What makes anyone think that ABC, being a powerful network that is totally in the tank for Obama in every second of their coverage on radio and TV WOULDN’T commission a biased poll to trumpet their message home?

I see this as a sign of desperation. I’ve read older polls that Obama was WINNING where he was losing by a good margin on the War in Iraq, and International Crisis, etc.

I’m supposed to trust a poll that shows him close and WINNING on these issues? Please, the MSM is trying to CREATE the image of him winning, they are attitude channelling. I look at that polls internals and I find it to be WORTHLESS, since they are 20-30% off on the internals compared to the big pollsters.

The story was written before the “poll” was taken.

Does anyone know who does the poll for ABC/WaPo?

No doubt. Its just an opinion poll of the kind Rush warned about and you shouldn't read anything into it. I remember back in 2004, the panic on here with polls showing Kerry was going to win big and I left this forum because it became like DU. I hated it and I loathed Freepers for being overcome with negativism and defeatism. If that happens again, I'll stop posting. We know how that turned out. Let's remember the old adage not to believe everything we see on the TV news or read in the papers. Its mostly designed to sell copy, whether that's airtime or print copy and gain revenue, not to report the truth.
