This poll game is all bogus. It still comes down to the electoral votes and these eight battleground states. I think those states which Hillary took over Obama...are going to be the swing areas that Obama thought he was going to win but doesn’t.
I think I’ll just go early vote before all these polls drive me totally insane...
Yea I have never seen such manipulation of poll numbers. It’s just another way to demoralize us. We can’t let them succeed.
If McCain pulls this out you will see riots across the major cities.
obviously they need to increase the D sample from 10 to 20%.....
Curious isn’t it — that the Zogby Poll isn’t the SHOCK POLL, but the AP one is. What’s Drudge doing?
Until tomorrow or the next day when they say that Obama is up by 15. They don’t know what the hell is going on. It’s all just guess work at this point.
Nice
HUSSEIN OSAMA peaked prematurely. Mac is going to peak at just the right time !
Rush just said that now is the time pollsters want to get it right for their own reputations. This AP poll may be closer to the truth. Rush was happy with the news. Also, Obama is going down in latest Gallup. This is a for real trend.
I know. I’m armed and ready for whatever happens.
I predicted this tightening would be reported by the media and poll players. I also predicted that they would then show an Obama rebound in the week before the election.
They are desperate to show Obama with the big mo headed into the election.
Don’t buy into any of this.
McCain/Palin are no better or worse off today than they were last week IMO. This is all manipulation.
I believe McCain/Palin will win.
In this case, it might not be over ‘till Chief Justice Roberts says it’s over.
(Unless he has one of the other Justices write the majority opinion[s].)
Internals. What is the weighting?
McCain hammered on this this AM on Imus.
That’s funny...I thought he was something like 25 points behind according to all the other polls. /s
Like many, I'm baffled by the scatter in the polling results.
Has anyone been called by a live pollster -- and answered the phone? If so, was the accent of the pollster "middle American" or identifiable as an ethnic or racial accent?
I do agree a game is afoot, but these polls show that Obama’s huge lead can’t be substantiated by “all” the major polls. Every time the MSM shouts their poll results, along comes a major poll seriously challenging the MSM template.
I suggest that Biden’s comments will have an impact on the next round of polls.
