Anyone who was for Clinton and now is for McCain is either a flat out racist or is ignorant and simply does not understand the issues. Simple as that!

For the CNN basher! This is how they make they money. They are only telling the news and keeping us informed.

This is why the Republican was praying Sen. Clinton would have been the Democratic Candidate (because they had more dirt on the Clinton's and it would have been so much easier for the Republicans to play the dirty politics game). Since Obama doesn't have as much dirt, the GOP do not know how to deal with him.

It seem they are bias towards Barack Obama because, Sen. McCain keep screwing himself by saying the wrong thing, forgetting information, and/or just making incorrect decisions. Believe me, when and if Barack Obama makes a mistake, they will drive it into the ground.

"of 822 adults nationally, aged 18 or older. " This is a weak poll. Very small sample rate.

I am sure that the majority believe Obama will be elected but I am more than sure that when push come to shove they cannot bring themselves to vote for a (half) black man.
Remember these are the same millions that voted for Bush twice so do not underestimate their stupidity.

Asian4Obama

Clinton supporters are not racist and I beg to differ, we do understand the issues. However, let us not forget that Hillary was thrown out by the media because of her gender. We feel she was an excellent choice and that will not change. Twelve million people voted for her, nobody can forget or ignore this fact. Can you say that Obama will receive the twelve million supporters of Hillary? It is very unlikely that he will.

Has anybody noticed that comments of Obama supporters are more intelligent than McCain supporters? Me neither.

OBAMA IS PREDICTED TO LOSE FLORIDA!

ALL YOU OBAMA FREAKS JUST HANDED THE RIGHT WINGERS THE WHITE HOUSE!

IN FOUR YEARS SLAM SHUT YOUR PIE HOLES UNLESS YOU HAVE A CLUE!

David Letterman said it best, "George Bush was a mistake". A vote for McCain is the same mistake for at least four more years. McCain will keep the policies because the GOP will make him and lobbyists will line his pockets.

Call Obama all the names you wish, but please don't be blindsided by McCain.

All Hail president Obama!!! Hoo RaH

if he does win, will he take oath in WH as Barack Hussein Obama , or will remain Christian ?

CNN, I love how you delete comments that are against Obama.

I am one of Millions of women and MEN that will not vote for Obama!!!!!!!!!!

If obama does get elected, God help us because this country will be doomed, he will NEVER EVER be my president.

If McShame can't explain what victory in Iraq is , he certainly won't win the GE

I guess America will get what it deserves. Can't we ever get anything right???

Beth - Florida June 16th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

The beginning of the end…

The land of opportunity will become the land of affirmative action.

Sad that for most Americans.
###################################################
Clearly the most racist and ignorant comment i've read in a long time….Sad!

We can now see clearly how a lot of Non African Americans look at African Americans that are competent. If one more person posts a comment about the so called "affirmative action" candidate, I'm gonna scream. I guess that it is unlikely that he ran an excellent campaign, raised loads of money, motivated millions of Americans to get involved, and beat the sure win Hillary Clinton because HE was the best. Everyone is talking about the nearly 18 million people who voted for Hillary, what about the nearly 18 million people that voted for him? You just don't like him because he is who he is. Let's just be honest here people.

**************************Please post*************************************

This poll you're mentioning is pretty pathetic. Not a good result for the majority of the remaining 18+ million Hillary supporters. 822 people? Give me a break. I am still hoping for a miracle here and that we will see Hillary Clinton back before Denver. STILL WANTING AND WISHING THAT HILLARY CLINTON WILL BE OUR NEXT PRESIDENT. GO HILLARY. STILL SUPPORT YOU AND WILL NOT DONATE TO OBAMA CAMPAIGN; ONLY TO YOU. GO HILLARY 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Affirmative Action IS racism

The picture shows it all. McCain looks like he already has 1 foot in the hole.

What is sadder than $4+ bucks a gallon??? The fact that everyone want something for nothing and they think that Obama will take away their need to pay income taxes and give it all to the top 1% or the ones making over $250 a year. What will happen then??? All those that have actually made it will close up shop and put you out of work. Because why should they have to pay your dues?? Then what are you going to do???

We are hated because we are a superpower. We have been hated for decades. 9/11 is absolute proof of that. That wasn't this Presidents doing-that had been YEARS of planning. Sorry making nice with these people is not going to change that hatred.

Obama says CHANGE. Other than making this a DEFEATED country by pulling out of Iraq, and taxing only the top 1% and making you jobless in the same breath…What else is he going to do??? Someone please tell me. All he is is a pretty voice with pretty words and a whole lot of nothing.

To Beth - Florida: You don't have to say anything else for people to see where you're coming from. Please read the comment written by Seth in Jacksonville, FL. Thank you.

Your racist life, as you have known it, is over. From this day forward, you will service HIM.

Any body who loves this country cannot vote for McCain. I cannot vote for a President who:

McCain opposes equal pay for Women

McCain supports torture

McCain has an anger management problem

McCain wants to give more to the top 1% of Americans where he belongs

McCain's takes delight in vicious songs like his Bomb, B…, B… Iran song

McCain admits has no clue on getting us out of this Rethuglican economic mess

McCain wants to spend another 10 billion dollars a month for 100 years in Iraq

This is just a tip of the iceberg .
Guys WAKE UP and save us from mediocrity.

No doubt obama will win. Women are the largest voting block - after reading "The Geldings" voting record on womens issues, any woman that votes for McCain would seriously need to have her head examined. any man that calls his wife a cun* is not respectful towards women and shouldn't expect their vote.

This is responding to Andy J,NY… LOVE CNN,AND DO WHATEVER TO SUPPORT THEM IN EVERY WAY!!!this is not that CNN loves OBAMA,and it doesn't make any difference.FOX loves McCain ,and it's always saying positive things about him when the whole world knows that he's been working with Bush for the past years and more.He is one of the bright,old ideas that got this country,this world into this mess.It's not CNN.CNN is great!!In 2000 they warned us about BUSH ,and look what we've had!!!I think that if your girlfriend cheats on you,and you take her back,she'll do the same thing again sooner or later!!!that's what's gonna happen if we are so stupid keep this country in the wrong direction we've been following.OBAMA 2008!!I am a republican,but I don't think we are what we need right now in America!!Obama is!!We need to heal the world!!!

Senator Kerry would you like to explain to Senator Obama's cheerleaders how accurate these polls are?

I'm liking Obama more and more every day. Did you see him shoveling sand into sandbags on TV?
Cool!

OmenBama camp, so arrogant, first disenfranchised in Florida, then counted as half, now that king Hussein is going to be crowned by the DNC, they think they can win without Florida, see you in november.

It is so funny how many people post their opinions using blogs. I think it''s great. A note to the Republicans–here are the facts. Whenever, we have a Republican President in the White House, the economy and budget go out of control. It's a cycle–the rich gets richer and everyone else get poorer. This is worst I have ever seen the GOP screw this country up in my 46 years of life. This is a typical cycle. When a Democrat gets elected, they have to spend two years fixing what the Republican has done to the economy and the world.

Do some research and you will understand what I am saying.

CNN, you can take the polls in New York or Chicago or LA and then say Obama will win general election. We will make sure that he loses miserably. We will see that he loses the election because he is a fraud.

Barack the Vote!

Andy J–

We get it. Yu don't want Obama.

Frankly, I can't see how anyone can look at the misery of the last 8 years and think voting for McCain is a good idea.

Asian, what are you… for Hillary or Obama? Sounds like your just an idiot trying to get people upset. … Republican?

Excuse me Vote 08!!!, it was 20 years since Republican got wrong. Don't forget four years of Bush Senior. He was totally off mark from Reagan already. He was the Washington insider. You are correct in putting Clinton on the wrong side, but economically, he did good.

Usama and Obama will win. God save us all from "change" and a nuclear Iranian madman. Obama makes Jimmy Carter look like a commander in Chief.

While this is good news TODAY…tomorrows poll with another bunch of voters and same question would be different. Polls have many variables an all we can hope for is that Obama gets himself out an known to more people so that come November..THE last poll shows him as POTUS!

As long as Obama's cults keep a "Typical White Person" out of the White House I guess it's all good. In the mean time I will be exercising my 1st and 2nd Amendment rights by clingning to my guns and religion because you never know when you'll have to rise up to protect the Constituion of the United States once Obama get's in office.

Beth: The "Land of Affirmative Action", eh? So if Obama wins, he's gonna make everything more cushy for all the coloreds? Be a little more realistic, please and stop being afraid that all of the brown people will take over! Bah, you'll never read this anyway because CNN doesn't post responses like FOX news does.

This article and the polls showcased in the article are biased. most of the margins are within the gener statisical margins of accuracy BUT they leave out the most important group of voters: adults 55+. This group is generally the kingmaker and given their cultural biases will lean more towards McCain - like it or not. This really is a poor piece of reporting especially given that only 822 polls were taken for it.

Look, we're Months away from the election and the real battles for the general election have not even started. I totally get it that Obama's a newsmaker and the press like him. BUT if Obama wants to win he should actually keep the momentum going and ask the media to stop reporting on polls they'll just get people tired of hearing it or complacent - like the Clinton supporters became for a while. keep your powder dry or do something meaningful…

BTW did Bill Cosby write your father's day speech Obama? I get it that your a "good guy" and want to empower your people, but the more you sound like a public service announcement the less you sound like a president. FOCUS

NOBODY can tell who's gonna win each side can ONLY make wishes!!!!
so please stop these"polls" that can change everyday…But since Mr Pluffe considers that they are able to win without OHIO and Florida…

Imagine if McCain did win, how stupid we would look to the rest of the world. Every time I travel, people tell me they love Americans, but not America. How could Americans be so stupid to vote to put someone like Bush in office, they ask.

The problem with Americans is we have no perspective in the face of the world. People don't travel internationally enough. Vacations consist of Disney Land and Hawaii. Nations can't live in isolation anymore, and we can't live in isolation and lead the free world on our own. We need partners around the world and we need a President who can manage those relationships, not bully other nations.

Sooo, the votes of the Citizens of the Great States of Florida & Ohio don't mean much to the obama camp. According to the article on the CNN tincker, they believe they can win the Presidency without your votes! Sooo, Good Folks of Florida & Ohio, tell your neighbors of this news, found on the CNN Ticker. Remember the thoughts of the obama camp in November On Election Day. McCain served his country during time of war. He did not hide out in Canada. He went through hell for his country, AMERICA, and he left the hell he was put through with a coating of good old American 440 Steel. I believe the Citizens of all the States of America, the Greatest Country on the planet, should remember how the obama camp were sooo sure they would win in November, and surprise the obama camp with a Landslide Defeat! Landslide McCain will keep America, America. Why would someone wish to change America? Standup for America Americans! Now is the time to put all party ties aside and stand for the country our forefathers built and fought for! Now is the time to stand with "The Man" LANDSIDE MCCAIN!

BY THE WAY, Obama-ites, if Barack Obama loses it is NOT because of Hillary Clinton or her supporters. It will be because a great number of people did not think he has what it will take to be president. PLEASE do not start the blame game early or without blaming the man in question.

If he loses it will be like this:
Hillary supporters did not come out for him
Race
Stupidity

He will lose because he would have not connected to certain people and that is not their fault, it will be his. IF he loses.

I love it! GOP idiots are now posting on message boards disguised as arabs — praising Obama!!! You are SOOOOO DESPERATE…

That's your brilliant strategy, eh? A vote for Obama is a vote for terror? Duh. Go back to grade school.

What sociopath actually thinks McCain will win?

Obama goes to heaven and is talking to St. Peter.
Obama tells him that things have really changed in the USA,
that they have even elected a black president.
Really says St.Peter,when did that happen?
Obama replies, about twenty minutes ago……good luck

Anyone who was for Clinton and now is for McCain is either racist or simply does not understand the issues. Simple as that!

I totally agree, with the polls and as the elections draw near, these numbers will only go in Senator Obama's favour as Obama has yet to be seen and heard clearly by the so called conservative republican base. His message has resonated with people only when they were able to see him often and hear him him out. There is no doubt when he takes his stand on the platform with McCain, even the die hard republicans will have changed their minds on McCain.

Yes! Thank you Republicans, for inspiring so many many young folks to vote and distrust your party enough to last an entire GENERATION!!

Conservatism is dying. Politics in America will lean towards the left from now on, because it is already happening. Regime change has begun!

blah, blah, blah,
We will see this in the fall, in Nov.
Majority of Clinton democrats are agains Obama, and republicans event didn't start play now

Yes, he will and May God guide him cos he has a good sould. I have seen hateful comments on here, this shows how ignorant many still are in the United states of A… well the world is watching, they are watching to see the fundamental principle of your so called democracy which you try to ventilate and force on others. They are watching if he will be judged by his name or by the colour of his skin. The world has changed, we live in the 21th century and not the 16th century, stop ranting and face the facts!!!!

If Obama loves Illegal Aliens so much, why wont he just say so ,and then he can be soundly rejected in the general election by those who believe in the rule of law,and the soverignty of our nation.

As a democrat, I believe that democratic politicians have me more on their minds than Republicans. But with Hillary out of the race and her experience with it, I do not believe that my ssecond choice will have what it takes to do the job. Barack Obama has the same use of words and rhetoric that Bush, jr. had and still has to pain a bad picture rosy without actually doing anything. I believe that Barack will not be able to make the tough decisions without a committee of voices telling him to do so.

I believe John McCain, for all his faults (and he has many), has the experience and the strength to make calls that will be required of the leader of the United States. It is why when it comes time to vote, I will vote AS a democrat but FOR a republican.

Good Luck, John McCain'08

I do lovvvve the way the progressive media is setting the American poor up for another fall. Now just watch them give the Republican's the Presidency and Congress for 8 more yrs after Obama is elected and then branded a failure like his democratic predecessors..

@ Seth from Jacksonville

You, my friend, are what is wrong with this wave of Obama support.

It is ok to vote for a black, and i would happily do so, so long as he holds the same values and belief system as me.

Fortunately for me, im not a socialist, nor a racist, nor do i feel guilt just because Im white. For all these reasons, i will not vote for Obama. This guy has attacked oil company profits (which are about %50 owned by Americans retirement and pension funds), he wants to redistribute wealth by taxing the rich and giving to the poor (who are too lazy to take a job at McDonalds b/c someone put the idea in their head that they are too good for that), he doesn't want us to drill for oil here in America and wants us to get it from countries who dont like us, he wants to expand the size and spending of the Federal Gov't, which is never a good thing, and the list goes on and on.

Stop trying to make white people feel guilty if they dont vote for Obama. I don't support McCain either, does that mean i hate white people? Obviously not. I am a huge fan of Louisiana Gov. Jindal, does that mean i only like people of Indian heritage?

Get over it. Not everyone likes Obama, not everyone is a socialist, and not everyone is a racist. Some of us, as opposed to people like you, vote based on our beliefs and values, and not out of racial loyalty or guilt.

I say McCain will win by a landslide. Why would anyone choose a wildcard like Obama when a true patriotic American here is running - John McCain. Obama wants to raise taxes and have a hasty exit out of Iraq, that doesn't so so great to me. Anyone notice the headline in Irag are that they are celebrating their soccer victories, and how the schools are coming along. God forbid the media have a blitz on the positive stories.

CNN - Why not ask people how they feel in regards to Obama smoking again. This is an important issue which begs discussion.
Obama appears to have a problem with judgment in many areas.

And you conduct your own surveys, Illinois? I think Obama's a politician with a progressive platform who has a good chance of winning the general. Who do you think he is, Illinois? What's your conspiracy theory?

Jukebox hero, with stars in his eyes! Go Obama

Thanks for the oppertunity cnn,let me first say congrats to the American people for opening up their eyes to smell the time as for the last two GE the Republicans have been playing on fear and war to let it's people afraid of the middle east and so on,
being an outsider and the way that Americas politics is been run the Democrats in office will be and is what America needs right now and to make it be what i knew it to be and where this beauitful country(AMERICA)has to be the best last country on planet earth,the Republicans has BADLY distroy the image of the country abroad but you all Americans have the price oppertunity to do the right thing in November to put them out,note i am not takin no side but just saying it as i am seeing from the outside looking in.love you people of America.
i am from the beauitful country of the commonwealth of Dominica,cnn please post.
I listen to CNN,FOX and ABC 24/7 to get my starts plust the internet so i am well imformed,bye.

It doesn't matter what people believe, it matters how many of these beliefs translate into votes….

remember that Mr. Obama overpolls in pre-election day polls and exit polls on election day b/c some people are afraid of telling a pollster that they won't be voting for the African-American candidate out of fear of being perceived as a racist

To bad we don't live in a mob rule world…

STOP RACISM!!!

illinois…. you have obviously been paying very little attention these last several months… barack obama has gotten more votes this year than ANY candidate, in ANY primary season, EVER. and his lead will only grow once the less partisan voters who do no take part in the primaries get a chance to see obama go head-to-head with mccain, and blow him away in debates.

you say that obama's numbers did not go up after hillary dropped out… that isn't true. obama has had a bounce of 5-6 points in several states, and as large as 15-20 in others, such as wisconsin. if anything, cnn stands to gain from making the race look closer, in john mccain's favor, than it truly is.

if you don't want obama to win, perhaps you should talk about why john mccain is better, rather than spreading feeble lies about the unelectability of his opponent.

obama is gonna lose marginally!!!! oh my god … see what he has done to you guys … ie making you believe he is a man of change????

I got bored of reading the news that obama brushed his teeth, has completed toilet, hugs his children…

you know how much he pays for CNN,washinton post,NY times etc to keep his name coming in everyday newspaper… you know why he does that bcoz he is scared that he is gonna lose the election…. America knows and finds out people who fake their experiences lol….

I think in favour of experience MCcain should win… if hillary is there in the race she would have won by a landslide…

He is not going to choose hillary as VP… that is the moment every hillary supporters are gonna change to mccain.. you guys know how much he hates her and he will not choose her … he is taking sometime for the hillary tide to reside , to pick a different VP candidate…. hey come on dont you give the critical situation of america to a inexperienced senator….

Studies show that racism is alive and well. Affirmative actions helps to level the playing field.

PRESIDENT HUSSEIN!! I LOVE THE SOUND OF THAT
YES WE CAN!!

I've already forgotten the name of Bill Clinton's baby mama.

Illinois June 16th, 2008 1:05 pm ET

"Well, it's obvious you're polling people in demographics that are favorable to Obama because most people KNOW that he won't win the GE. The guy is unelectable. Almost everyone knows that…..even his supporters in Washington.

You can keep trying to elevate his poll numbers and try to present him as a much better candidate than he really is, but it won't work in November. His numbers keep plummeting and most people are not going to vote for him. Everyone kept saying that his numbers would go through the roof once Hillary got out of the race. Well, guess what, that hasn't happened at all. If anything his measely little lead he had over McCain for a few days is now gone.

Take the stars out of your eyes, people. This man is NOT who you think he is……"
______________________________________________________

Your statement is without fact of any kind.

The only way Obama can win is if enough people are deceived into voting for someone offering a "change" for the worse Obama is the most liberal senator we have. This country is in for some "changes", if he gets in, and they won't be good ones. His experience with fighting the enemy is so lacking that he's afraid of town hall debates with McCain! His policy is, tax the rich and give to the "poor". Well, why bother working hard and trying to get rich if the government is just going to steal it and give it to the "poor"? I'm all for charity, and contribute voluntarily, but this should be voluntary. Some people are poor because of circumstances beyond their control; others are poor because they won't get off their lazy rear ends and work for a living. Believe me, I know, I live in New York - tax and spend capital of the U.S. These are my views and our family lives on less than $60,000 (gross) a year. Obama will help to destroy this country. I'd vote for Condi Rice any day, but not a liberal candidate. McCain may not have the best policies but they are better than Obama's.

People of all demographics are seeing the light and supporting Obama. Those who read and believe the despicable blogs about him and his wife are the victims of hateful propaganda.The election will be close and very exciting, but Obama will be victorious in November and the next four, hopefully eight, years will prove him to be the leader America needs after the disastrous Republican administration.

Beth "the land of opportunity will become the land of affirmative action"… Affirmative action provided opportunities for females and minorities to have a chance in the working world.

If the world were run by a black woman majority and they held ALL the power…you don't think there should be a mechanism in place to protect the white minority or men?

300 years of slavery, jim crow and years of the rule of thumb (a man can beat his wife with a stick no larger than his thumb) have changed!! We're no longer living in the 50's.

WE DON'T WANT THAT MCCAIN LEADING OUR COUNTRY!!!!HE'S BEEN THERE FOR 20 SMTHING YEARS,AND HIS PARTY HAS BEEN THERE FOR THE LAST 8 YEARS AND LOOK WHAT HE'S BEEN PART OF!!??NO WAY MCCAIN CAN POSIBLY WIN THE ELECTIONS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IF MCCAIN WINS ,I TAKE A BOAT AND SAIL DOWN TO CUBA AND WAIT UNTIL HE'S GONE!!!!!!!!!!11

McCain is toast.

There is no way a Repug can win in Nov. Every few years, the political winds shift the other way. We vote in someone different. That's how it goes in this country. Awesome !

I also believe Obama can win, and he will make a great president for all Americans based on the issues facing our nation.

Si se puede!

of course he's going to win.we need to restore integrity to the white house.barack obama and family are the only choice.republicans have let the american people down,with so many lies and half truths,that have cost so many lives.

yes we can..and yes he will!!!!

OBAMA 08!!!!!

YOU ARE A SMART MAN TED!!!

McCain as president is just too scary to contemplate. 4 more years of Bush economics (which got us to where we are today.) 4 more years of not being prepared (no energy policy, no policy to extricate us from the Iraq war, no plan for when disasters hit like Katrina. Well, Iowans will probably say we're a little more prepared, but I should HOPE so!).
Oh, and 4 more years of tax cuts for the wealthiest of the wealthy, which McCain used to say were unconscionable. But he has FLIP-FLOPPED on that, too.
I have nothing but respect for all the former supporters of Sen. Clinton, who have gone to work fighting for Obama to make sure we end these Bush years/policies. I only wish the election were in 5 days rather than 5 months.

Avoid the trauma, stop Obama!

Goodness another poll! The media loves these polls! With the election in Nove, a poll in June will do anyone any good. Please stop with the polls!

CNN-

Stop shoving Obama down our throats. You are so pro-Obama, you should really ease up because every day i read these blogs, more and more people are waking up to your incredible bias.

Something is rotten in America, and its bias news networks like CNN and FOX.

Because the needs of the many, outweigh, the needs of the few.

These types of polls are truly meaningless…

The only "poll" that is going to really count is the actual vote and that is quite a way off… keep in mind… conventional wisdom had it that Hillary would win by a landslide over Obama… didn't happen did it?

So, for those of you that won't vote for Obama is this over the "bitter" comment??? Please tell me. I would like to know an American right now that isn't bitter about these ridiculous gas prices, foreclosures, and expensive grocery prices. I for one am very bitter about all of this!!! Gas was about $1.50 the day before Bush took office!!!

It seems only CNN and Spitefull Hillary supporters ( or those GOP Bloggers who pose as them) Think MCain has a chance.

This man has more Baggage than Samsonite and has "Flip Flopped more than a Flounder on a hot Dock!!" (the latter is copywritten)

Beth - Florida,

You obviously don't know the candidates. Your quote:

"The beginning of the end…
The land of opportunity will become the land of affirmative action.
Sad that for most Americans."

Please tell me how knowing the history of Senator Obama that he will hearald in the U.S. being the lad of affirmative action? Especially when that's been going on for years in this countyr and not only for African Americans?

Yes We Can!
Obama 08′

CNN, please stop with the propaganda. I would like to see Obama win too, but the frequency and slant in your reporting is sickening….It will only polarize the republicans.

Yes he will win, and more importantly, he will be one of the greatest presidents ever!

Just watch.

Obama/Nunn 2008

CNN

ENOUGH WITH THE OBAMA BIAS.

You put out story after story, and if you didn't see the polls (not that i put much faith in them), you would think that obama has already garnered %90 percent of the vote.

But, he is only 4 points ahead in current polls, and thats not even with the margin of error.

Stop trying to portray Obama as the inevitable President.

We understand you think Obama is perfect, but the fact that you shove him down our throats with 15 articles a day, and about 3 featuring McCain and 1 every month featuring Bob Barr, shows that you are in Obama's pocket.

Obama will win if former Hillary supporters like myself would get over it, realize she is not the Democratic nominee, and not vote for McCain out of pure Stupidity.

No poles showing Obama winning so we will show you that most Americans think he will win. Not that he is doing better in polling but that people think he will do better in polls.

Lets sum up. CNN is trying to show you that Obama will win. I believe in was CNN that told the world that Kerry was beating Bush in the 04 election even telling you that the exit polls show Kerry winning by 11%.
CNN Stop supporting Obama .

The real reason bam says he can't win in Ohio and Florida is because he can't . Ohioans and Floridians are too smart for this smooth talking candidate. He can wow the people in Montana who sleep most of the year and he can wow the people in Iowa, but he can't wow us.

He is a quitter as well. And did you see the girlie picture of him shoveling sand into a bag. and he had on a dress shirt and gloves. The real men didn't wear gloves but this girlie man did.

We don't need a girlie man in the white house.

I certainly hope so! And I have a comment in regards to the article about black conservatives potentially switching their vote to Obama. One conservative said that he did not agree with most of Obama's policies or much of anything he had to say, but may vote for him due to the historical factor. That angered several bloggers (several of whom were Hillary supporters). But tell me this: how does this differ from spiteful Hillary supporters voting for McCain, who offers stark differences from Hillary on just about ALL policy matters, while Hillary and Barack share almost identical policies on just about everything??? They're clearly not voting on policies either, rather out of spite, bitterness, and in some cases race (the race factor is in the black conservatives as well).

Do what's best for your country, and the future generations!

Obama/Clinton '08

Illinois, you are stupid along with Beth.

I think it will depend on how effective a smear campaign the Republicans wage. I think Obama is the better candidate on issues that are important to me. I don't agree with McCain on just about everything, it seems. The fact that he found the recent Supreme Court ruling "worrisome" is just the latest in reasons for NOT voting for him. McCain = Keating 5 = POOR JUDGEMENT!

Amen to that!

It is really sad that he has to be the democratic nominee, so I guess we just have to buck up and vote for him if we want a democrat. I hate it.

NOBAMA is good for MSM, they make MILLIONS of DOLLARS out of him.

Sure NOBAMA will win, IN YOUR DREAMS!!!!!!

Regarding comment by Beth – Florida, posted at 12:53 pm.

No where in Obama’s platform is an agenda of Affirmative action. Your comment makes you sound Racist, because of the lack of substance in your criticism in combination with your use of the buss word “affirmative action” absent any qualification that would give meaning to the word affirmative action. Unless you state who is to be favored and for what selection process- the word “affirmative action” alone has no meaning. For example, “affirmative action” could refer to selecting only white males as possible candidates for positions of national office even when a non-white or female is the better candidate.

If the Democrats want to win the November election they must be one united front. It is happening but very slowly. Meanwhile, the Republicans have been united since the beginning of the campaign and I consider that an advantage right now although the polls do not show it.

Win what a cell next to Rezko?

Of course he'll win WITHOUT any state of the Union voting for him. The DNC will SELECT him as President of MENTALLY IMPAIRED AMERICANS.

McCAIN 2008!!!!!!!

PUMA

The very fact that McCain had 3 months of free campaigning to shore up his support, before we even had a Democratic nominee, yet he is BEHIND in the polls, is VERY telling. He talks war, war, war. And unless Leiberman is standing near to tell him the right things to say, he would be lost. It is sad to see that this McCain is surely not the McCain of 2000. He needs to retire.

Obama will not win! That's not what the electoral map is saying, maybe the popular vote, but then this country doesn't choose its leaders by the popular vote. McCain shouldn't be doing terrible given the unpopularity of the GOP. That he is doing really well, even neck and neck in the polls, forebodes trouble for the democrats.

I feel like I am at an Obama/McCain basketball game and the news media are the cheerleaders: Gimme an O. Gimme a B. Gimme an A M A. Go Obama! Go Obama! Go! Go! Go! Well, news reports are not votes. Obama is going to go down. Hard. And it is going to be a pleasure to watch. The media did a disservice to Clinton during his presidency. They did a disservice to Gore during his run. They did a disservice to Hillary during the primary. And they are still doing a disservice to the American people by promoting this novice. Obama is an illusion promoted by a delusion. Sad.

Only a fool would vote for McSame as bush. He gives me the CREEPS. Looks like the walking DEAD in the Night of The Living Dead. Do we really want to have that old geezer represent us for the next four years? We already had a clown for the past seven, now do we need a zombie?
Michigan you better get on board and stop the foolishness. The red states are the reason that we are in this mess. Time for a change don't you think?
PUMA people and the rest of the BITTER ones go do what you want but don't cry after the fact. We really don't care what you do with your vote so you can stop telling us. Our man is going to win with or with out you.

"Well, it's obvious you're polling people in demographics that are favorable to Obama because most people KNOW that he won't win the GE. The guy is unelectable. Almost everyone knows that…..even his supporters in Washington.

You can keep trying to elevate his poll numbers and try to present him as a much better candidate than he really is, but it won't work in November. His numbers keep plummeting and most people are not going to vote for him. Everyone kept saying that his numbers would go through the roof once Hillary got out of the race. Well, guess what, that hasn't happened at all. If anything his measely little lead he had over McCain for a few days is now gone.

Take the stars out of your eyes, people. This man is NOT who you think he is……"
———————————————————-
Wishful thinking on your part.

The fact is that, for the past five or six months, Democrats have been out-voting the Republicans 2 to 1.

You're gonna be really pissed in November!

Maybe his numbers will go up when Hillary starts to go across the country and campaign for him.

I still think McCain can win this thing, though.

I agree with Beth …

America will no longer lead the world, we will become a divided country.

How Sad.

Was Clinton a Republican or just the 1st Black President–
16 Years—what are you talking about—
You must be on federal subsidy's–

NO MCCAIN

How can Obama lose…

With the MEDIA working for his campaign and trashing everyone and anyone that criticizes Obama.

The media won't touch the Messiah and his wife- for fear of the RACE card.

It no longer matters if you are qualified or not. The only thing that matters is who the media PUSH and who the celebrities have a crush on.

He better - or we are in deep hockey pucks!

If PUMA has its way there will be a third Bush term! YAY! GO MCCAIN! Do us proud! Give us a third Bush term, just as you've promised! I'm not miserable enough yet! I need to pay higher gas prices and let you control what I can do with my OWN body. And we don't need those pesky gays getting married. And we relish another 100 years in IRAQ! Because we love being miserable dang it! Our queen Hillary didn't win (and we're sore losers) so now we have to spend the rest of our lives being as miserable as we can and bring the rest of the country down with us. Who cares about all the lives lost in Iraq….certainly not us! All we care about is the fact that WE DIDN'T WIN! And we must have been cheated…..there's just NO WAY we could have lost fair and square. That dang DNC was out to get us from the start. NO FAIR! WAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaa

Obama!
When Virginia turns blue, the nation will be shocked, and so will the world. I think he's probably gonna win, but McCain has a shot.

@Glenn in TX: Thank you for showing that the pollsters aren't all knowing. White men can vote for Obama, blacks can vote for McCain.

Be Careful not to wake those sleeping dogs—
Don't alert them–
Every Race has shown the Dems out to a lead at this point—An Underdog at this stage is very dangerous–

Polls don't mean as much. If these poll results were consistent in Obama's favor between Aug and Nov, then I would believe he has a chance to win the presidency. I'm for neither candidate. People need to be aware of the "Wilder Effect" and "Bradely Effect" Unfortunately, there are pocket of white voters who will lie to pollster about who they support in an election if there is an African American versus a White candidate. The response from Beth from Florida shows ignorance. Just because an African American may win the presidency doesn't when black people and other minorities have taken over or there will be affirmative action for every non-white or non male person. Whites will still be the dominate power in our country and racism will be a huge factor, so don't feel so bad! Comments like yours shows that this country has still along way to go on race relations and electing a person of color to the highest office in the land. You must be an angry white women republican who lost your job to an illegal alien or a black person because you weren't qualified. You probably felt that your best qualification is your white skin.

He is the self-proclaimed Messiah, after all.

How not to win?

The Oprah and the Media control public opinion in this country- and they have already coronated the KING.

For those who have reservations about a black man leading our nation or the gall to call this "affirmative action", do not be arrogant and forget two things:

(1) Obama is the most talented, thoughtful and inspiring politician to come along since Clinton, Reagan, RFK and JFK, regardless of his color. We need his kind of vision and world view in the white house right now.

(2) African Americans came here when the whites did and helped build this country brick by brick. We should have no qualms about electing someone qualified.

quit trying to influence the general electorate with faulty, meaningless polls. Thgis si the same thing CNN did to Hillary Clinton. I thought the Nazis had the market cornered on propaganda, but CNN has them beat hands down. No wonder we really have no choices, the media makes them for us. Since CNN knows all, will I ever find true love?

Obama is the only choice for a thinking American. I don't understand anyone who would vote for McCain. He's still fighting Vietnam, another failed war that should never have been fought. He wants nothing but war and more war, 24/7. Go Obama '08!!

Let's hope America can put race bias behind, and choose a person that will clearly change the direction of the government of this country.

The reception Bush received in Europe is a strong evidence of how the Republicans as perceived there. McCane will only widen the rift between the US and Europe.

The whole world is watching the united states and this is your chance to win back the trust that has been lost,it is going to go down in history that you had the chance but decided to blow it if you guys vote for republicans again.we need peace in the world and not war,you don't have to be a rocket scientist to know who to vote for just looking and listing to the candidates is enough and i feel bad that people are still talking about race in the 21st century and you always say " IN GOD WE TRUST" Is GOD black or white?It is such a shame….

I think Obama is getting too big for his britches.

He seems to believe that he can control everyone and everything.

The media helps foster this Messaih complex that Obama suffers from.

I think Obama has fallen for his own spin and hype.

he is now convinced that he is entitled to be president and that he is infallible.

OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE DREAMING. MCCAIN WILL PREVAIL TO WIN IN NOV. NOBODY WANTS TO BE O.B'S VP. THEY ARE STARTING TO SEE WHO HE IS. OUR REAL CHANGES GOT KICKED TO THE CURB WITH HRC. YOU O.B. SUPPORTERS WILL WISH YOU NEVER GOT BRAINWASHED BY YOUR CANIDATE. IF ELECTED HE WILL BRING AMERICA DOWN WORST THAN IT IS NOW. THIS COUNTRY IS HEADED TOWARD A WORLD WAR. FIRST THERE WILL BE A CIVIL WAR OVER RACIAL DIVISION.. THATS THE CHANGES O.B. BROUGHT ,HATE,RACIST, AND DIVISION. NOSTARADAMUS PREDICTS THIS IN NOSTRDAMUS THE CODE ,WORLD WAR 111. IT ALSO IS IN THE BIBLE. AMERICA GETS WHAT THEY ASK FOR.

The man is a dictator people…
You would be in for four years of speeches diverting you from all of the screw ups!!!

Remember when he PREACHED about not wanting POLITICS as USUAL?

And… What is he doing? Spending 40 million dollars on a party with the DNC when we could be aiding the flood victims… We already know who the nominee is, why do we need a party????

He is a liar just like the rest of them… Get used to it!!!

There should not be one woman in the United States to vote for McCain if they actually looked at his record towards woman's rights and equality.

He has proven time and again that he does not support a female's right to equal pay, quality health care, and a right to making a decision about their body.

I challenge all women and men out there to look with open eyes about what McCain will do towards the health and well-being of the females of the US.

Do not allow McCain to harm the progress that females have made in this country.

They say perception is reality, but I'm not so sure this time. While I hope they're right, I think it is actually a much closer race than that.

Us Youngsters are split about whether we think Obama could win because we do not trust America anymore. So much BS has been thrown at us and I personally wouldnt be surprised if Obama is not given the presidency despite being capable of winnning an overwhelming majority of states in the general. Refer to 2000 when Yee Haw Bush stole the election from Al Gore. Well I'm not that religious but I guess Im gonna hafta put my trust in God on this one.

We need change no matter what type of change it is!

I have been in Berlin when JFK paid a visit there. Welcoming President Obama will be far more impressing. Not only because of his policies but even more because of his character and honesty. It will cost us a fortune to take care of him not because he will be in danger but because people will adore him. Give him to us and we will be grateful the rest of our life.

Thats pretty funny… Is this the media "telling us" that he would win the general election? Because 16 out of 20 people I know do not want him in office and most Clinton supporters, at this stage would swear to NEVER vote for him… So, in all honesty, these facts seem a little made up!!!

While I support Obama I suggest people not get comfortable with these polls, they are nothing more than a snapshot in time. The polls that come out in October will be a better reflection of who will be the next President. I hope it will be Obama but he has a lot of work to do, there are still a lot of people who have their questions about him. It is going to be close either way.

Michigan vote for HILLARY CLINTON ON independent ticket. WRITE HER NAME ON TOP IN LARGE LETTERS AND YOU MUST VOTE JUST 1 REPUBLICAN ANYTHIN YOU WANT EXCEPT PRESIDENT. HILLLARY STOOD UP FOR YOU LAST TIME, THEY JUST WOULD NOT LET HER DO ANYTHING. SHE WOULD HAVE WON BUT THE DNC GAVE YOUR VOTES ON SUPERDELEGATES AND ALOT OF OTHERS TO OBAMA. THAT IS NOT FAIR. WE ARE WRITING HILLARY CLINTON IN AS INDEPENDENT. IF SHE IS PRESIDENT SHE CAN DO WHAT SHE PROMISED BEFORE. THEY RAN HER OUT BECAUSE "OBAMA IS AFRICAN/AMERICAN, SO WHO CARES WHAT HE IS. HE IS 1/2 WHITE AND 1/2 BLACK WHICH HE WON'T ADMIT. I AM SENDING THAT TO OUR LARGE LOCAL NEWSPAPERS ALL AROUND THE UNITED STATES; OBAMA WILL SAY ONE THING AND DO ANOTHER. I HEARD HE MOVED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY TO ILLINOIS. IT HAS ALWAYS BEEN IN WASHINGTON, DC. IS HE ALREADY ELECTED PRESIDENT. ID DON'T THINK SO. HE SURE GOT SHOT OUT OF THE SADDLE ON THE BRADY BILL; HE THOUGHT HE COULD CONTROL EVERYTHING AS HE SAID IT IS MY WHITE HOUSE, I DON'T TAKE MONEY FROM LOBBYIST AND I WILL DO WHAT I WANT. MICHIGAN , I KNOW I FOUGHT FOR YOU AND FLORIDA REALLY HARD AND WILL AGAIN. JUST DON'T VOTE FOR OBAMA, VOTE AS WE ARE DOING IN TEXAS, VOTE INDEPENDENT AND WRITE HILLARY'S NAME ON IT. THANKS, FRANCES

McCain says "Obama" is wong re Iraq, and that we are winning. Tell that to the 4090 families mourning the loss of their son or daughter or father or mother. Tell that to the American taxpayer who will see over $2,000 Billion dollars siphoned away from hospitals, schools, highway and bridge safety projects, construction and job creation, higher taxes and higher fuel costs - all caused by this war. If the war in Iraq is a success - why can't the troops come home. McCain's statements militate against his own positions!

Re Obama, I thought Christians were pro-life!

Mike

i dont know what to say

No one I know supports Obama anymore.

He lost our votes by the way he conducted his primary campaign.

So who is still voting for Obama?

I THINK IT IS BECAUSE OF THE LACK OF ENERGY MCCAIN IS PUTTING INTO THE RACE. HE HAS HAD 3 MONTHS OF BEING UNAPPOSED 1 ON 1 BY OBAMA. STILL HE HAS NOT FULLY DEPLOYED HIS CAMP. ALSO, HE ALWAYS SEEMS LIKE HE IS ON THE ROPES. IS THAT THE ROPE A DOPE OR JUST THE DOPE PER DOPE PLAN? CAN YOU BELIEVE HE IS PLANNING TO TAKE THE REST OF TODAY OFF?

I believe Obama is sent by God to rescue US from the hands of the republican. If Americans allow this opportunity ti slip away. Then the Country definetely be sold to the Asians by the Republican. This election should be about America gaining back his leadership position.

Yes, he will win. I voted for Hillary Clinton in the primaries but will never give in to the other side.

We know how Obama cheats and how he manipulates the media to his full advantage.

So we may think Obama will win, but many are hoping that he doesn't win.

Perception is strong… but the vote may be stronger.

Why am I not hearing anyone mention that Mccain said it was tough to be proud of America only 2 days ago. In a town meeting on saturday, June 14, Mccain said it was tough to be proud of America while responding to a question.

Isn't that Un-American? Why is no body talking about it? CNN, what is this cover-up about? We all know that if those words had come out of Senator Obama's mouth, there would have been no other report today than that.

Shout it loud. John Mccain says 'it is tough to be proud of America'

O LORD A BIG DECISION.

A SUPREMELY, INTELLIGENT LOVING HUMAN BEING,

OR

AN INCOMPETENT, INSANE, WARMONGERING BIGOT.

Sylvia Brown , the psychic on Montel Williams show predicted that Hilary will loose and Obam will win the nomination and that the Democrates under Obama will win the general election. Obama the next president in 2009 .

Well we have all learned that Obama will do anything to eliminate his competition.

So we are pretty sure that the race card will be pulled and the age thing brought up until Obama has secured the presidency.

Obama will steal the presidency with absolutely no qualifications or merit. Isn't that a sorry day for American.

We may THINK he will win but we don't WANT him to win. Where are the results of that poll?

The reason this gap will grow is due to the fact that on every major issue facing American McSame is on the wrong side. Even some prominant republican say he is on the wrong side and that side is George Bush's side. Fact Check
1. Claims to know nothing about the economy
2. Wants to stay in Iraq for 4-100 years and think's "its not too important when the troop come home"
3. Does not want Universal health care
4. Will over throw Roe Vs. Wade
5. Has a horrible voting record for womens health issues
6. Support the failed no child left behind act.
7. Does support the G.I. bill that helps our soldiers when they come home( but now I know why he doesn't support it because it's not too important when they come home)

Yeah baby!

Down with John McBush and the right-wing anti-woman Republicans!

The math is pretty simple.

During the primaries, Democrats voted 2 to 1 more than the Republicans. Even if that ratio doesn't hold up for the next five months, Obama is the odds-on favorite.

Of course, anything can change until then.

Please let this poll be wrong-oh please oh please!!!-America can't afford another 4 years of a novice in the White House!!!

The majority re-elected BUSH..So what do they know?

Beth - Florida June 16th, 2008 12:53 pm ET

The beginning of the end…

The land of opportunity will become the land of affirmative action.

You Beth are so out of touch with America, the only action that should happen is your vote being taken away, you inject hate! and fear! you are no true American! BLACK, WHITE, LATINO,ASIAN, NATIVE,… WE ARE ONE RACE, THE HUMAN RACE!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mccain does not need the polls to know he is knocked off. He should prepare his lose speech which must include his regret that the war in Iraq was a mistake, that his tax plan is flawed and that America needs to talk to free nation for peace to reign. Everyone inthe world would want America to succeed if it recognisesthe right of other nations which does not include them having nuclear power. Iran must be stoped by any means necessary but first there should be dailogue. If that fails the answer is hit the nuclear site.

God bless America

Nicholas from Nigeria

I am a vet voting for McCain if I cannot write in Clinton.

Neither candidate is giving specifics on anything. Obama refuses national town hall meetings with McCain because he is too afraid he will look bad without a teleprompter or pre written speech.

None of the media is vetting the candidates, so that only leaves me with one experience vote if I cannot write in Clinton. That would be McCain.

Obama '08. we dont need another president Bush on our hands, highest unsatisfactory rate ever, for US presidents. Thats why Obama will win in the november election, because we need change. we are the change

Mccain does not need the polls to know he is knocked off.

Why do we even bother wasting so many millions of dollars on campaigns and debates?

Why bother with going to the trouble of holding elections?

Why bother to vote?

Just take a poll and let the media spin it and voila- you have your next president.

People think this is " some game" or something. The stakes, at risk for this Nation are very high. I really don't care who wins the Election; per se, but "whoever" that does,please make the necessary "Changes" that will secure our Country from our :enemies", and do something about our bordersand those other issues that we face now.1/20/2009 is a long ways off, isn't it……………………………………….til then, I guess it's "Just Words", that we will hear, ……………………………..

I just can't see how McCain has any chance of winning the GE. The American people are tired of what the Bush policies have done to this country. We were led into a war on lies, and all through out it has been one lie after another. Can anyone (aside from the rich) say they are actually better off because of the "leadership" of the last 7+ years ?. We have gone down hill and it is time for someone else to take the reigns. McCain will just be a continuation of the Bush years. I for one have had enough.
This middle-aged white woman is backing Obama, and I'm proud to do so !

@ Betsy,

The real sad thing is that due to people like you affirmative action was created in the first place. Also ironically, a President Obama could be a nail in the coffin for affirmative action because it would prove that the big majority of US citizens have finally learned to see past the color of the skin. No more of Bush failed policies, Obama in '08!

SEEMS CNN HAS ENDORSED OBAMA FOR PRES. MCCAIN DOESNT GET NEARLY THE AIR TIME OBAMA GETS. AND THE WINNER IS………….WELL WHO EVER GETS THE MOST SUPPORT BE IT GROUPIES OR COLD HARD CASH. THE GENERAL POPULATION OF AMERICA IS SO BUSY WITH LIVING IN SCARY DIFFICULT TIME THAT ANY CHANGE IS A GOOD CHANGE. SOME FOLKS ONLY WANT A PRESIDENT THATS UNRELIGIOUS AND ONLY LIKES FOLKS THAT LOOK LIKE THEM. WHERE HAVE I HEARD THAT BEFORE????? ANYHOW THE SCRAPING THE BOTTOM OF THE BARRELL CHOICES WE HAVE IN REAL LEADERSHIP ABILITY REMINDS ME OF THE BEANNIE BABY CRAZE A FEW YEARS AGO. ONE WAS MOST POPULAR AND VALUABLE AND ANOTHER WASNT. NOW WHO KNOWS WHAT A BEANNIE BABY IS NOT TO MENTION ALL THE INVESTMENT OF TIME AND MONEY IN THE FIRST PLACE. YOU KNOW LIKE THESE CANDIDATES……..A SORT OF BEANNIE BABY BUBBLE….. YEAH, ONLY EVERYBODY PAYS WHEN IT BURSTS. WILL THE REAL " ABLE" LEADER OF THE FREE WORLD PLEASE STEP FORWARD. GOD HELP AMERICA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

PS IM AN AMERICAN FIRST WITH NO OTHER CONSIDERATION FOR OTHER RACIAL DESIGNATION. IT WOULD DO YOU DIVISIONARIES GOODTO TRY BEING JUST AMERICAN NOTHING MORE OR LESS. BUT WITH OBAMA LESS IS BETTER…RIGHT?!?

* A LANDSLIDE VICTORY FOR OBAMA YOU CAN BELIEVE IN! *

I'm not surprised but disappointed in the amount of anti-Obama stuff I see here. I supported Edwards and still think he would have been the best president. When he dropped out I voted for Hillary in the California primary because I thought she has the most relevant experience. Now that it is down to Obama vs. McCain, it isn't even a tough choice. Eight years of failed foreign policy, failed economic policy, failed environmental policy, etc., etc., etc. are all I need to reflect on when McCain says he wants to continue most of the current policies. I admired McCain in 2000 when he was actually somewhat of a maverick. Now that he has bent his message so Rush, Hannity, and Ann Coulter will support him, he has lost the little bit of credibility he had.

Media is already trying to create the illusion of strength for Obama.

The media knows all about self-fulling prophecy.

All they need to do is convince people that Obama is inevitable and that is MOST of the battle.

You all saw how the media selected the democratic nominee. Now the media is starting to select your president.

THE CHOICE IS SIMPLE.

AN INTELLIGENT MAN THAT LOVES ALL OF US,

OR A GERIATRIC VERSION OF GEORGE BUSH.

YOUR PICK, AMERICA.

Lets All Take A And Breath And Say It Out Loud! . . . . . YES WE CAN!

The problems are this…

The Republicans had a great candidate in RON PAUL, and they blew it big time…

The Democrats have the easist road to the White House in history, and they are close to blowing it with Obama.

either way, these candidates are not worthy IMO…

Lord help us all if the polls are right.
