Rasmussen, a more reputable poll has them within 2 point for over 9 days. 25% of dems are not falling in line behind BO. They are afraid his only real example of proven success is self-promotion.

What makes you thik Obama will end it? He originaly said he would, now he has come out and basically said his "timeline" will be subject to preconditions on the ground. That sounds very familiar. . . .ya, I know why. . . . .McCain has said this from day one. ____________________________________________________ I hate to burst your bubble but Obama has ALSO said this from day one, he just has been misquoted, if you go back and see what he actually said you would see that he stated that he would START WITHDRAWING THE TROOPS IMMEDIATELY (or tell the generals to devise a plan for immediate withdrawla) but that the rate of withdrawal depended on the conditions on the ground but that is should be accomplished in 16 months. idiot Finally for those of you who tout experiance over judgement I simply point out that in the 1970s and 1980s IBM was the WORLD LEADER in computers, they were the undisputed industry standard. they ahd the experiance, the knowledge, the people, eeverything that should keep them on top and a couple of guys in a garage, with NO EXPERIANCE, NO DEGREES, NO MONEY nothing but an idea and good judgement were literally laughed at by IBM. Now me I wish I could have sent Microsoft some money and bought into them then... I am doing that now by buying into (with my donations to his campaign) my countries future and Mr. Obama's win. So go out and support Big Blue me I will take IBM (I could have used the same story and told about Ford or Chevy or Chrysler and compared them to Honda, Toyota, or Datsun (who has undergone a name change since the 1970s!) but I am sutre you will see the point the old, traditional, the failed, must give way to the new, the untried, the next generation of leaders JB, Boston August 13th, 2008 2:12 pm ET

In fact, a month ago he led by 8. This should be a blowout. Could it be that many Americans see through to Obama celebrity dazzle and see there's no beef? Remember how Obama froze in the debates with Hillary, especially when George Steffanopolis asked some tough questions? One big mistake by Obama and he's toast. Democrats, be afraid, be very afraid.

I think he got a lot from being the Dems nominee, it's their year, but many of the people supporting Obama really dislike the man. Like me. I keep looking for reasons not to support Obama, and I will find them. Come November, Obama will loose because of people like me.

All that's missing is Hillary bustin' into the room and being like 'Aiight, who's up for some drinkin'?!'. Show me the polls after Labor Day Love the picture.

It really seems like 2 countries at times. Interesting that the educated people in this country are heavily favoring OBAMA. The right keeps doping everyone else with fear and lies.The choice is easy . The future vs the past. Wake up America. Really amazing how far apart this country is.

Continue your dream until November 4th. Then, like all the Obamatrons, you will have a rude awakening. Sleep tight!

This is not a traditional campaign and Obama is not a traditional candidate. McCain is expending alot of energy right now while Obama is expending none, yet he continues to hold on to his lead. Until McCain can find the right negative campaign line of attack that actually puts him into the lead, I think the Obama camp wil just coast until Sep/Oct then go into high gear for a sprint to the finish. Obama is trying to shorten the game. McCain can only change this if he can show that he can take a lead. So far his fierce attacks are having little impact over the last several weeks. I think that what is being missed is that the Obama camp is never going to win by a landslide. I think they are perfectly comfortable winning by 1 or 2 percentage points. I don't see any panic in the Obama campaign apparatus. This is going to be interesting. McCain has to shake him up and it has not happened yet. McCain has to go more negative, but right now he is right on the crest of going so negative that it is going to hurt him, so he has to be careful. I know that the Repugs try to reverse the argument that Obama has something to prove, but in fact, it is McCain that has to prove that with all his experience and referring to Obama as a young man (age card) that he can stop this upstart that supposedly should not be on the same stage as him. I love the way that McCain always suggests that he can teach Obama something or that Obama needs to learn and understand. McCain needs to learn and understand how to beat Obama period. I have a feeling that McCain is going to learn the same lesson as Hillary. They both underestimated Obama and they are both going to pay the price or being so dismissive.

The daily tracking poll is from likely voters, not the type that Obama's ground forces have been recruiting this year. If you want to quote that poll then look at the others that poll registered voters. Obama's lead goes up to 6 points and doesn't drop below 3 for almost all. Factor in the other candidates and its in low double figures or high single digits. Not a bad lead before the debates.
