Obama 50%, McCain 43% (Obama +5 since Friday)
(Excerpt) Read more at realclearpolitics.com ...
What I have a hard time believing is:
1.) The assumed turnout gap.
2.) That even at 50%+ in the polls (allegedly), Obama is still increasing in the Polls?
Are we still going to believe the polls when Obama hits 60%?
Battlegound went from using a DEM+3 model 3 weeks ago, to now using a DEM +8.
How McCain ever show an uptick with that bias?
Today’s economic news isn’t helping us any.
They NEED to come up with a strong economic countermessage for the debate. Simple as that.
Well, let us maintain high hopes, without entertaining false expectations.
According to these polls, if the election were held today, 0bama would win.
How? Easy.
Act like a fool, refuse to direct any attacks against your opponent, and offer no plan of your own.
A commie with a mandate. How exciting!
Is Battleground oversampling Dems?
Did you ask President Kerry about the accuracy of the polls?
Titan, there is no doubt the polls are cooked to help Obama.
But if it comes out that Wall Street was set up by Left Wing forces to tank the markets and Help Obama, there will be a Civil War.
If average people got their pensions screwed to help Obama there will be anarchy.
exactly.
It isn’t over yet.
Manipulation, just like everything else in the media.
If you want it to say that way, do nothing.
If you want it to change, get off your butts and do something.
Go to or call RHQ in your area today and ask what you can do!
I live in Michigan and I haven’t given up hope yet!
BE NOT AFRAID!! God helps those who helps themselves.
Finally, we have hope for a President who will take responsibility for his actions, unlike the multiple failures America has endured over the past 7.5 years.
do you have a link to the sampling data?
Contribute and volunteer plus stop reading polls. Other polls should McCain tied in CO and Zogby said McCain is down 4. Let’s stop whining and get to work.
Yes. A +8 Dem model, that went from 3 a couple of weeks ago.
The DEM pollster, Lake, said they did it for the Youth Vote.
Are we sure about the change in sampling, I don’t recall battleground mentioning they changed sampling to a certain percentage.
Do you all not remember 2004 when the polls did the same thing in October for Kerry? How about exit polls showing Kerry was winning. Short memories around here by some folks.
Turn out and ignore the polls. Even the Dems are not believing the polls in favor of Obama in talking to some of them.
I am so sick and tired of seeing polls I could scream and I would say the same thing if McCain were ahead because then I would be very worried. I talked to a leading Dem in my State at the post office and he said the polls are scewed for Dems and they are not taking into consideration the Hillary supporters who will NEVER vote for Obama and the Bradley factor which he said is real.
As a Dem he said the MSM is trying to elect Obama and they know the truth about him. Learned a lot talking with him last week.
Start making calls for Sen McCain, work your email list to make sure people vote as the only poll that counts is the results of election day.
