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.

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.

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.

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!!!!!!!!!!!!!

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

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

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 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.
