McCain is a complete failure in Senate whether it is Campaign Finance or Immigration. He has flip-flopped on Bush taxes, oil drilling and immigration. He was a big supporter of Iraq war, the biggest foreign policy blunder and now is covering up with his support for surge. If people can not see through; I guess we deserve four more years of Bush (at least).

I'm from Illinois and I knew eventually every one would see that the Emperor has no clothes. Maybe he should spend less time giving interviews to People Mag. and other fluff mags. that feed his ego but does little to address the problems of the nation and spend more time trying to prepare himself to be President. Oh! wait a minute when ask upon election to the senate he said he wouldn't run because he didn't have enough experience and would have to spend the next few years preparing for the job. He didn't spend that time preparing but it doesn't stop him from running. No doubt Cafferty will find some way to make this fall in the polls HRC's fault.

With many people using cell phones as their personal lines and with most on the do not call registry how is this reliable? I know if I get a phone call that I do not recognize the number or suspect it is a telemarketer I do not give them the time of day. Let's also factor in a time which this could be occuring... dinner? No one picks up the phone then, later? You get angry people trying to go to bed or put their children to sleep. Earlier? People are working. I'm sorry but I don't trust these polls. How about people just judge for themselves. Polls always have a bias, think of the people who don't own landlines, either for cell phone use or just for the fact that they can't afford them. Nope, don't trust polls. Polls are so unreliable in this day and age. With many people using cell phones as their personal lines and with most on the do not call registry how is this reliable?

THE MAJORITY OF AMERICANS ARE SUPPORTING OBAMA. If Obama were really down in the polls, it would show in his contributions. Obama has raised more money than any candidate in US history. Also, for those that do follow polls, Obama's numbers may have slipped a notch or two, but McCain's numbers have not risen at all. McCain is stil in the lower to mid 40%. Also, let's not forget Obama has over 20,000,000 energetic, enthusiastic, youthful foot soldiers who will be working the ground on election day getting out the vote.
