WTF?

[ScottinVA]

Ouch.

[lexington minuteman 1775]

This is WAY above the lead of other polls so I am not in denial that Obama is in lead but there is no way in hell he is going to win by 13 points.

[Lucius Cornelius Sulla]

BS!

[Genoa]

I believe Battleground recently had to change its party weighting to favor a higher percentage of Democrats due to the anticipated “youth vote,” at the behest of the Democratic partner.

[mcshot]

Unless this Kenyan gets pitched off the ticket we are in for many pitched battles.

[snarkytart]

Woa!

[LikeLight]

Nowhere to go but up?

[Jeff Head]

This as Palin draws 30,000 in Virginia, and will be drawinfg 24,000+ in Indiana.

IMHO, these are push polls, heavily weighted in sampling to the dems and meant to supress the GOP vote.

OBAMA-MCCAIN ISSUE COMPARISON CHART

[HerrBlucher]

LOL! Palin is raking in crowds in the 20,000’s and O can barely eke out 3 grand and he supposed to be leading by 13 points....yah right.....complete garbage.

[Harry Wurzbach]

Funny. My poll had it McCain 85%, Mickey Mouse 15%.

[Allegra]

Wow. What a huge load of crap. Why pollute FR with this?

[bcatwilly]

I don’t think that this poll is a case where it is slanted so much as Battleground is starting to look like they have no idea what they are doing to obtain decent sample data this election cycle. Now this may be a problem with all of the polls, but I think common sense says that this is a serious outlier when you consider the rest of the polls.

[wbill]

Any idea what the sampling internals are on that poll?

[tomkat]

Yet another rigged bullsh!t poll

[Proudcongal]

This is really getting ridiculous. So we’re to believe that with the market up and all the Obama dirt coming out that he’s up 13 points, 5 points from yesterday alone. The dems must really be putting pressure on these pollsters to increase the dem weighting. Look what they did to Gallup.

[kesg]

This used to be a good poll (not a great poll) when they controlled their samples by Party ID and used a turnout model that reflects actual data from recent past elections. But now....

[what's up]

Welcome to FR.

[BornToBeAmerican]

Humans have a bad flaw and democrats are a prime example of this.

They judge everybody as themselves. Therefore the think if it is in words, it must be true.

The reality is, most of us know that there are more untruth written than truth, so we treat everything as untrue.

Liberalism is a mental disorder

[jveritas]

This stupid poll is telling us that Jeremiah Wright apprentice is getting more popular vote than any other democrat candidate since LBJ got in 1964. Biased is not anymore the right word to describe these polls, they have gone totally insane.

[italianquaker]

Among a measure of “likely” voters that takes into account the individuals’ past voting histories, Obama leads 50%-46%. (Margin of error: +/- 4 percentage points”

gallup/USA today poll saids it is a tie
