CNN LIES: THIS IS USATODAY(6/19/08) HA/HA OBAMA HATERS!
By Susan Page, USA TODAY
WASHINGTON — Illinois Sen. Barack Obama hasn't gotten much of a bounce among voters nationwide since clinching the Democratic presidential nomination, a new USA TODAY/Gallup Poll shows.
Obama leads Republican John McCain by 48%-42% among registered voters in the survey, taken Sunday through Thursday. In a survey taken May 30 to June 1, Obama held a three-point lead over the Arizona senator.
Among likely voters, Obama led McCain by 50%-44%, an insignificant change from his earlier standing of 49%-44%.
Obama claimed the nomination on June 3, when primaries in Montana and South Dakota gave him a majority of delegates to the Democratic National Convention, meeting in August.
The survey of 1,625 adults — including 1,460 registered voters and 1,310 likely voters — has a margin of error of +/- 3 percentage points.
lol @ an "AOL straw poll" ever being even KIND OF accurate in judging anything.
Obama up FIFTEEN according to NEWSWEEK.
Obama 08'
> By the way, the June 20-27 AOL straw poll,” with 20,685 votes, shows
> McCain 64%, Obama 36%.
> These are REAL people voting,
Wow, your argument has to be the most inane thing I've read all month. Heck, Sanjaya would've beaten McCain 99% to 1% in an AOL straw poll.
Con'on Chuck, the Newsweek poll is not representative of the electorate. It only includes people who can read. That means most of the shameful 22% in certain states were not included.
Most of the polls have been remarkably consistent over the past 10 days, with Obama up by 4 – 5%. Must be a slow news day to report a 1% change like it was indicative.
What great polls??? Why don't you just talk t Republicans only???
I saw that newsweek poll just now too that had Obama leading McCain by 15 points nationally.And oh yeah,they asked real people.On AOL one person can vote as many times as they want.
I don't think Obama can win the election when cnn only reports down stuff about him.So all you Obama haters have nothing to worry about.
Cnn is on your side.
Obama is an obviously self impressed man.
He is so full of himself that he turns my stomach.
Give me Hillary back.
I will never vote for Obama.
Even with all that money and fancy marketing, Obama can't beat an old man telling the truth.
McCain 08!!
LOOKS LIE CNN IS LYING TO ALL THE MCDRUGGIE SUPPORTERS!
USATODAY IS MORE ON TOP OF THINGS!
OBAMA 08!
Well within the margin of error. Meaningless. Waste of an article.
C'mon CNN – 1% = "race tightening". That's pretty ridiculous. And, I guess that Newsweek poll is completely off: Obama 51%, McCain 35%. Sure looks like it's getting close.
CNN-.............Obama now leads McCain by 4 percentage points – 45 percent to McCain’s 41 percent. In the previous CNN poll of polls, Obama’s lead was 5 percentage points..........A LEAD is a LEAD!!!!!1
Give me a break, a 1 percent change in a poll with +/- 5 percentage points is utterly meaningless. Stop trying to make news and go read a statistics book.
Actually-OBAMA IS UP BY 15 POINTS OVER MCCAIN.THAT POLL CAME OUT TODAY.NOT ASKED TO ROBOTS BUT TO REAL PEOPLE!
And women who are for mccain are just plain nuts.Mcain doesn't even think you should get paid as much as men and voted against it,and yet you'll vote for him.You must be sick in the friggin' head!
You have to follow the money trail to find out the where the real power is, not the polls. Surprise, surprise in this campaign the money actually leads to citizen Jack and Jill. This time the citizens and not political action groups or lobbyists will have their way.
A pole is not necessary every day. Once a week or so is enough. Not much to write about on a blog with a drop of l%. Can't you get any more interesting subjects to talk about – like McCain's trip to my country, Canada today. We'd have a lot to say about that., as would Americans I'm sure.
Are more people deciding to support McCain, or are fewer people supporting Obama? I keep trying to convince myself I should pull the lever for Obama, because I think he'll be better than McCain, but each day I read and learn more about Obama, the more difficult I find it to say I'll vote for him in November. I'm starting to feel a little sympathy for, rather than anger with, the people who who voted for Nader in 2000, for people who felt compelled to vote their conscience, rather than for the better choice of the candidates who had a real chance of winning.
- Seriously considering writing in my vote
Why would any woman vote for McCain when he voted against equal pay for women.He doesn't even think you're worth getting paid for doing the same job as a man.I guess you agree that woman are not as worthy as men.Unbelievable.
This just in: CNN is manufacturing news!
A 1% drift in poll data does not mean the race is "tightening". 1% is probably well within the margin of error of the polls, meaning that really nothing has changed. Nothing at all. Shame on you CNN for trying to create artificial news where there is no real news to be found.
Obama is constantly dissapointing me, I still support him but after the Muslimgate incident with the 2 ladies sitting behind him, now the arrogant "presidential" seal, I DONT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING, he should just fire axelrod, plouffe everyone and get a new campaign.
I REALLY BELIEVE WHITE FOLKS ARE HAVING SECOND THOUGHTS ABOUT VOTING FOR A BLACK MAN FOR PRESIDENT. NOW THAT THEY SEE ITS POSSIBLE FOR OBAMA TO WIN THEY ARE SAYING NO! NO! – VOTE FOR MC CAIN. HOW SAD IS THIS
