CNN

THAT'S IT ? LOL
THAT'S ONLY COUNTING THE 2004 VOTERS HAHA

OBAMA WILL WIN !!!!
HE HAS 87 PERCENT OF NEW VOTERS !!!!

Those who inflate hardship must pay the price.
This election is all about issues. the few that have care little about those that don't and those who are hiking Mc cain's poll are those that have and afraid that Obama's coming to power will mean very little for them. What we all need to know is that while it is true that everyone can not be well off, it is important for everyone to be able to afford their daily living. Prices from food, shelter (mortage), gas,etc have sky rocketed but salaries remain unchaged. People who came to America like our fore fathers did in search of American dream are now having American nightmare. A change is necessary. Those who inflated the hardship on us cannot claim that they can bring a change that we want. Wake up America and Americans. We cannot continue to live in this misery.

Wow, Americans are truly idiots! * years of garbage isn't enough! Let's see, Palin has foreign relations credentials because the state in which she is Gov. is close to Russia? That's like saying because you live in Florida, you have Foreign relations with Cuba! McCain is touting change after 26yrs of no change, yet just hired another lobbyist to help him transition to the White House if he wins. Yeah, that's change. I have already begun to look for jobs in other countries. I'm sick and tired of people being so ignorant that they are about to do again what they did for GWB two times.

Don't worry about the polls they only poll about 2000 people or so that is where they get the numbers. Every one I know are for OBAMA.

No wonder the poll figures shifts. The stake is veeerryy high, not for americans : for bush and his cronies. Republicans will fight soo hard to win this election, otherwise their crimes will be under investigation especially 911.

I always wonder does american people REALLY IS SO STUPID, with all information unleashed in the internet seems only few people can see the clear picture ?? Look for youlself in YouTube "official story of 9/11". I'm not even an english speaker but comparing the government's 911 comission's stupid statements with those eyepoking evidence makes me hard to believe how MORON americans are, buying all those craps.

Billions lost, thousands of american people were killed BY THEIR OWN GOVERNMENT run by the rotten republicans only for mere bussiness purposes, and yet they still believe in them republicans as a commander in chief ?? Saving you from the terrorrists ?? As hillary said earlier, you can't ask the iceberg to save the titanic !! The iceberg WAS the problem - the government WAS the terrorrist !!

See for your self.. Vote another republican. Another "pearl harbor" event will occure to again justify those war mongers then see your beloved country dive into ground.

Whatever, i couldn't care less..

Democracy produces the government we deserve.

Just remember Palin's not the issue here. McCain's the one running for president, and he's more dangerously bellicose than Bush.

If this ticket gets elected many thousands more American lives will be thrown away in counterproductive wars.

If this ticket gets elected, the American standard of living will continue to decline.

If this ticket gets elected, force will become the option of choice, rather than the last resort. With additional conflicts will come conscription.

Aggressive....not at all. She is a symbol and nothing more. I have seen stronger, more believable SOCCOR MOMS in the supermarkets and train stations. Please again I dont understand what is going on.....we are in debt up to are grey hairs and still have third world policies -"make the rich...richier and F the poor." Again I challenge you to use your noggins and think what do we need to do???? It is not about race, gender, creed....and so on...its about who will do the job! I personally want to know that my(future) children, relatives,pets, friends, co-worker and country will survive....I am not interested in if a candidate made the right choice on his running mate or if they are dual-status citizens(please some years ago we elected an actor–HELLO! What was the purpose then) we need to make logical decisions on what is said . I want a fair but equal government. I want to know and feel GOOD that I did my job. Now maybe I should ask what are you looking for.....are you looking for change and success for this country or do you want everything to stay the same....are you happy with what America is doing and have we treat each other or do you really thing we need a wake-up call to reality and see what and how we really look! People its time to do what you know is right.....Please I can't stress it enough get those votes......if you thing Bush cheated wait and see whats going to happen in November........

Wake up and lets push this brotha across the line. I want my piece of the american pie and Im tired of old white men running the country.

McCain's running mate, Sarah Palin, openly showed in her first interview since her nomination, that she just does not hold truth and integrity to be of importance. She took earmarks last year, and yet stands as the "Earmark Reform" co-candidate. She claims to have "stopped" the 'bridge to nowhere', that would have served a city of just fifty people, and yet she did not. Alaska, where she has been Governor for only 20 months, udsed the money elsewhere. The Alaska Governor's airplane she sold, was for a loss. It is one lie after another. She is just like her running mate, no ethics, no integrity, no absolute truth. just what everyone doesn't want, more Bush policies. I wouldn't even call her Honorable, as everyone puts her running mate, the quiet one behind the distractions. They most likely are thanking "Ike" for buying them some time to regroup.

how can anyone watch that sarah pallin interview and not be disgusted? i think keanu reeve's character from bill and ted's excellent adventure would have done a better job answering those questions. she is a complete air head and it couldn't be more obvious. wake up america and realize what you're getting yourselves into! the republicans have zombified this nation. if obama chose her as vp i would not be happy camper. enough with these biased opinions and think rationally for the sake of our futures people!

President Bush must have done very a good job..

Obama who doesn^t vote, who doesn^t do anything but by just talking can get so many votes...

Its really sad vp candidate Palin has done more than president candidate Obama....

McCain should be ashamed of his millitary days as a POW by taking us 40years back. Why is it relevant for McCain to constantly refer to his POW days is because if you strip McCain of that part of his life story, he has no story whatsoever to tell as reasons for his bid for the White house. HE HAS NO STORY TO TELL. A big evidence in support of this has been the numerous lies about Obama and misrepresentations of PALIN's record. He is not a Maverick but a confused senile person.

newsweek poll Obama 46 percent and Mccain 46 percent !! it was just realeased...

Yes, the mainstrem of voters are gullible – thats what the GOP is counting on, just like last time around. Their target audience are people that don't undersand their own rights and don't know any better.

For those of you who don't know what "gullible " means: it means easily persuaded to believe something: credulous (credulous means having or showing a great readiness to believe things).

Please stand up with pride and vote in this next election. We have a choice of two qualified candidates. One is John McCain (old guy, doesn't know what the Internet is) who wants to fulfill his own destiny and become "President" , doesn't know that Czechoslovakia hasn't existed for 20 years and has no clue that the world couldn't care less about what he might have to say,. The other is Senator Barack Obama (middle aged brilliant guy) who thinks the USA could improve her image world wide and might be respected world wide again and seems to recognise in-as-much that the USA is a great country, she seems to have some shortcomings that are unacceptable to modern society. He suggests possible improvements.

Please vote for your wishes. Abe Lincoln said "...of he people, by the people, and for the people..." Thank you.

I thought this Country wanted change, 3 months ago!...............looks like "we the people" and the Democratic Party are going to get it; if this "Republican Palin Madness" keeps up!.............A "change" in thought and direction, that is!

democrat's, myself and family who are part of the base democrats long before all you wippersnappers crude and rude, disrespectful antics
arrived on the scene, know this , we vote country first, party second.
this democrat votes mccain, btw, we voted clinton in feb. mccain this nov.
scott bowling green,mo.
ps: we have cell phones too. we never get polled either, so lets see who is the winner on nov. 5th, bet my disability check it's mr mccain

Obama should challenge john mccain to only talk to the camera in ads and tell the people what they stand for without distorting the other candidate. That way the people of this great country canhear these candidates on the real issues of the future. CANDIDATE POLICY ONLY ADS.

Georgia, . . . . .I think you are REALLY Karl Rove playing on the computer.

Hey lefties! Quit your whining about not polling cell phone users. The Gallup poll says they poll cell phone users. And just for grins, let's say no cell phone users are polled. What percentage ahead would McCain have to be before you would shut your yaps. No doubt McCain will get there before the election!.

Must only poll the south!

McCain is proving that if you keep telling the same lies over and over, people will be stupid enough to believe you. Sarah never mentions that she DID NOT RETURN one penny from the bridge to nowhere. She doesn't mention that as mayor, she got American taxes to pay an average of $1350 to each person in her town for earmarks for FOUR YEARS.

We need intelligence, honesty, integrity, and no hypocrisy in a president. We need Barack Obama for president.

Palin has taught us a lot about politics these past few weeks.:

1. If you're willing to lie about nearly everything you've ever done, you can be successful.

2. If you can repeat a single response to multiple questions, you will trump all competition.

3. If you can mispronounce important words which may seem simple, like "nuclear" over and over, you can relate to the common-man and innevitably be successful!

4. If you have no issue using your soon to deploy child to a meat-grinder occupation as a voter-chip, you can surmount the opposition.

5. If you can convince the media that you don't believe in dinosaurs and that science is a sham, well, you're in for a free ride provided purely by the extremist right!

6. Finally, if anyone gets in your way, feel free to use your power of possision to pressure them out of a job!

Thank you Sarah Palin, you're an inspiration to us all!

Obama/Biden 08

After watching the interview with ABC, I'm in the McCain/Palin camp now. Palin was treated with contempt, and it wasn't that subtle.

Ater reading what Pamela Anderson ( the chick with the unnatural looking chest) said about Palin , following the jab to palin by Matt Damon yesterday.......I am totally disgusted .

I wasn't sure before, but I am now. I was a strong supporter of hillary but I just can't vote for Obama. Hillary must be puking.....quietly.

He's further ahead than that in qualifications and patriotism. I thought Obama would go to Texas and turn back the storm. Or at least organize the evacuation.

Obamas big mistake.........................NOT PUTTING HILLARY ON THE TICKET..............!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Democrats don't care what the polls say. There are more of us than
republicans, and we are voting for Senator Obama.

(He is leading in electorial votes, the only poll that counts)

McCain will continue to inch up.

If I was on the fence before then I am certainly not anymore. With all this all out attacks and bias against Mccain Palin, I'm voting Mccain Palin just to spite the media. I can't believe my ears when on Campbell brown, I just saw 3 out of 4 pundits called Palin ignorant. Imagine, a small town woman with 5 kids being mayor and governor is ignorant. I guess you have to live in a high rise urban center with nannies to be sophiscated for the campbell brown crowd.

ridiculous and outrageous. CNN should fire campbell brown cuz she's giving working women a bad name!

Obama/Biden 2008 = Jimmy Carter/Walter Mondale 1976

Carter Presidency:
Oil Crisis, Iran Hostage Crisis, High Inflation, 21% Interest rates. Soviets invade Afghanistan.

Obama Presidency ???

Be afraid, be very afraid.

A friend of mine brought it up to me that Hillary won in the states that usually go dem. She said that Repugs crossed over in the red statesand voted for Bo to keep Hillary from getting the nomination, so they would not have to run against her in the election. What do you think? Possible or not?

Reading theese comments disgusts me. You are all a bunch of left or right wing freaks that ignore the lies told by the one you support and cry about the lies told about the one you support.

Develop some honor, please. Even a little bit to start, so you can get used to it.

Sad. All I can say is "sad". It is sad that a considerable number of Americans are willing to elect McCain knowing in their minds that he will not only continue Bush's failed domestic and foreign policies, but actually make things worse. Hopefully, my faith in the rational splendor of the American People will be restored come Election Day. Obama will deliver on the promise of the American Dream. I hope and pray that Americans give him the opportunity to prove his leadership to them. I have been a lifelong Republican who voted for Bush twice. I am willing to vote for Obama. If I can do it, anyone can.

Long term Republicans in my family are changing their registration right now from Republicans to Democrats or Independents, friends also, is amazing how mad they are with Republicans choice of Palin also because they are not standing up really for the values and issues that identify Republicans.
I believe polls are not taking that in consideration how mad some people-republicans are with their own party.
Theses polls are wrong.

The curtains are about to close on Obama. The show is ending and the credits will start to dissappear and the star will have to bow out and find another theater to prance around in.
MCCAIN PALIN 08 ALL THE WAY!

Linda in Europe,
Saddly, the people who vote republican, not all but most do not travel outside of the US. The people who put Bush over the top are unawre and indifferent about the rest of the world.

Polls are irrelevant. Most people "polled" are talking on princess
phones. They have no way of polling the thousands of Obama
supporters who have cell phones. And make no mistake. There won't
be enough polling places in November to hold all of the Obama
democrats that are going to turn it out for the business of ridding this
country of republican destruction.
As Bill Clinton said, Senator Obama will win by a landslide.
I can't wait.

Democrats 08.

the constant persecution of gov. Palin on CNN will definitely not help sen. Obama. Campbell Brown especially. in our circle she comes across like a jealous, vindictive, shrew and most of us can't watch her program for any length of time. I'd be interested in her ratings to see if she turns others off as well. this does not seem to be a pro Obama thing, but a,I hate you cause your pretty type of thing .

It's really disappointing to read such bigoted remarks from the non-Obama supporters. One of the problems with our education system is that it’s producing so many illiterate and misinformed people. Based on the many negative and hateful comments from non-Obama supporters; it’s a truthful fact. The Republican VP candidate has been sheltered from answering any questions from the media because her party is well aware that she isn’t ready for the position. Ask yourself; are you better off today than you were 4 or 8 years ago? If so, then you deserve another 4 years of Republican leadership. On November 4th, I pray that “we” do the right thing and vote for “real” change in America.

There is no way America will ever elect a non-white for president. The sad thing is the republicans know this. The sadder thing is its true.

wait till obama finally agrees to debate mccain in a townhall (if he actually will)....no teleprompter, no script, unsure of the next question coming....it will be like watching a train wreck, obama stumbling over his words, claiming he has been to 57 states, and that asthmatics use breathalizers...he's the emptiest of suits....he said in his acceptance speech that he would debate mccain anywhere...put your money where your mouth is senator!!! mccain's lead would grow to 10 points!!

NoHow, NoWay, No0bama!!

To anyone who harps on Obama's decision not to select Hillary Clinton as his VP. You are either a Repug troll or sadly misinformed. Palin's selection is a slap in the face to all competent women like Hillary, who had to work hard and prove themselves through their own initiative. Palin managed to get herself elected by talking tough and batting her eyelashes (I wish I had a buck for everytime I've heard a man comment on what a looker she is) and is being used as a pawn by McCain's campaign so they can cry "Sexist" anytime anyone questions her qualifications. Pathetic.

Who the hell is conducting these polls and who are they calling? I've never been called, and I don't know of anyone who has.

I think it's time for a Saturday Night Live skit!!! (Help is on the way, Obama!) LOL!

lol
let mccain/palin have this one. the road will be paved for hillary in 2012. the sexist dnc, and obama camp deserve to lose! mccain/palin 08, hillary 2012!

These guys always make me laugh. Mcpain/Palin 08, Hillary 2012. Do you really think Hillary would stand a chance to "incumbant" Sarah in 2012? Really? Cut off your nose to spite your face!

GASP! (Obama: "better go on the offensive...") "Obama's a new breed of politician".... Ummm, I don't think so!

"Obama: Change you can ..." #@%^#$$$ ... yeah, yeah, whatever...

Not news, if he were that great he would be up by more.

After the RNC, McCain's was leading by 9pts. Now he's only leading by 2 pts. It seems to me that MCCAIN is shrinking in the polls, not Obama.
The more Sara Palin is "interviewed", the more McCain's lead will
be diminished as voters will soon come to realize that Sarah Palin
is not qualified to be president.

Ahhhhh-the sweet smell of victory in the air!!!-Bye Bye Dems-you could've had this one all wrapped up by now-but DNC wanted a novice at the helm.

Electoral college. Obama will win! FOR SURE

It is clear that campbell brown, roland martin, jeffrey tubin, gloria borger all voted for obalma. Their bias is really coming through in their commentary. I hope mccain never grants a palin interview with cnn. These people are hypocritical. They criticize palin for not talking. And turn around and criticize her when she talks. Yet, cnn did not even say a thing when obama said that his faith is muslim on this week last sunday.

You can take it the bank. Sad but true.
Trust me Linda, the U.S. is stupid enough to vote for McCain in spite of being a Bush clone and the intolerance of Palin.
I have had many people tell me, my entire family included, that they will not vote for a black man. Half black or not. No matter the circumstances. It is just a fact and in their nature. They can't help themselves.
The U.S. should prepare itself for 4 years of McBush and probably 8 years of Palin. The Democratic party should take a few minutes to reflect and select a more acceptable candidate next time. It probably won't make any difference but they can try.
Roe V Wade will be overturned. The U.S. deficit will be $20 trillion, we'll probably have a Department of Homeland Religion and we'll have no ally that we haven't bought but we won't have stem cell research or abortions.

The nightingale sings in Berkley Square

Take it to the bank Obama will win!

Real Republicans must laugh when they get together, and talk about the wannabe republicans who support them. They talk about lowering taxes, and spend a trillion dollars on the bush/mccain war. Hmmm. Any working person who votes republican has to have self loathing, low self esteem issues, and/or be racist, or welfare haters. Republicans love you people.

How can a poll from Fox be counted. It is naturally going to be biased toward Republicans. By the way Robert from California: John McCain was born in Panama in 1936. It was not then nor is it now a state. Barack Obama was born in Hawaii in 1961. Hawaii was made a state in 1959. Shouldn't the fact that John McCain was born in Panama automatically disqualify him from running for president?

Polls schmolls....

How can anyone vote for McCain ...how many times do you need to be hit with a stick . We have had 8 years of BUSH/McCain policies 6 years of a Repub. congress and voting McCain you get 4 more. Is it that Obama is "BLACK" he has a funny name? What is it that you (REPUB) vet Palin in 1 week fly her to the convention that same week and treat her like she is the greatest thing since popcorn and you know nothing about her. Go outside look down your street , do you see the for sale signs on the homes how do you think we got there. Take a look at who is running McCain campain and who do you think they really work for... the american public ..NO they work for big companies the want the same deal that they have had with Bush.

Sarah no, you keep drinking the kool aid cause anybody that believes anything a Rethuglican says is a complete and utter moron. Go Sarah Go around the bowl and down the hole!!!

Has anyone else noticed that the Obama supports have the habit of talking over their opponets, it happened in the primaries against Hilary and it is happening against Mc Cain. I notice it does any one else

Don't believe it...Nov. 4th is the only day that's going to count.

I find it HARD to believe that MOST Americans are happy with the directions this country is going – not to mention with what the McCain/Palin ticket has to offer. I truely believe that Sentor Obama's supporters will deliever the Obama/Biden ticket a VICOTORY on Nov. 4th.

Anyone remember how Mondale had big lead over Regan
& he lost by a landslide or how about Dukakis

It is about the electoral college....The newness of Palin will wear off....right now she is new and lots of folks are looking.

It will wear off.....Wait till she debates....That should be a beauty....

THE POLLS MEAN NOTHING.........NOTHING. THAT IS JUST A SELECT CHOSEN FEW, IT MEANS NOTHING.

Jeffery toobin is a loud mouth and is hurting Obama, keep up the good work Toobin

If McCain gets elected we will be invaded by the new world power coalition. Thats where we are headed. Invaded means that they will charge our beaches!

I agree with Stephanie. The focus needs to be on the issues and not on Palin shooting a moose from the air. Palin has no clue about foreign affairs.She contradicts everything she says. Do not be fooled into thinking
Palin is representing women. She is representing her politics.

i don't know how to say this any more clearly...WAKE UP AMERICA!!! mccain and palin are incompetent!!! we can't suffer thru 4 more years of people bumbling their way thru leading this nation. they are LIARS and the sooner people get past the personal story crap and realize that what's coming out of mccain and palin's mouths are lies the sooner we get on the right path. i'm just stunned that these two even have any credibility left with some of you people! quite frankly it is depressing.

7:33 pm central time just watching Campell Brown NO-BIAS-NO BULL how can she say this and have 3 dem punits making statements agains Palin. Is this bias or not?

The reason that McCain is ahead is he and his campaign have been lying and republicans are looking for anything that resembles Bush tactics,in fact Palin is worse than Bush.She babbles on and on about much of nothing.She will have us in a war before we blink.Well I hope she sticks to killing her moose and not getting us killed with her tough talk. W

Robert from CA September 12th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Isn't Barack Obama A dual citizen of the U.S. and Indonesia? How can he be president and be a dual citizen?

John McCain was born in Panama how can he be elected president?

Blah, Blah Blah. Who cares about national polls when the states are actually what counts. It'll only be interesting if there is divergence between the two on November 4th.

Can someone please explain to me how these polls work? How many people are surveyed? I read somewhere that it was 1000 by land line. Larry King's online Quick Vote, where the question today is "Who will make a better VP?" Out of 4457 votes so far, 81% say Biden....19% say Palin.

I'm watchin the interview with Palin and what in the heck is she talkin about? She is crazy..... She looks nervious – so uncomfortable and I don't understand why..... My vote goes to Obama/Biden

No ticker on Palin's interview?

Why are the Republicans avoiding talking about the issues?

Because they would lose. Instead they go for character attacks and lies and there are enough racist in American who want to feel justified in their racism, so they pretend to believe the lies.

America must not be ready for a Black man to be president. Because even though he is clearly the better leader for the job, he wont get.

Here's a question for those who are supporting Palin – how do you think any random other governor would have done in that interview with Gibson? My guess is that most would have fared way better than she did. And I'd guess that none of the others would have had such a hostile attitude (really comes across when you see it, but not as much if you just hear it or read the transcript). So again – what does this tell you about McCain's approach to picking a VP? It tells me that he was willing to put the entire country at risk, if it could maybe help him win the election.

Palin's luster will fade in the next few weeks, and McBush's prospects with it. There are too many Repub lies that will not go away, while Obama and Biden maintain the high road. Oh, they are fighting back now, but with simple, documentable truth.

One morning soon, "we the people" will have a strong cup of coffee and see the 'Cuda for what she is and ISN'T, and McBush for the dishonorable man he has become.

As a woman I'm afraid. We are falling into the republicans trap by following McCain blindly just because he chose a female v.p. Everytime I see woman having to defend Sarah Palin because the press are asking tough questions it scares me...if she can't handle the tough questions from the press, then what makes you think she can stand toe to toe with Russia, China, Iran and etc.? When we are more concerned that Oprah won't have Sarah on her show instead of where this country is heading then I get scared...As a woman I want to know how this country is going to survive, not if Oprah is going to have her on her show. Right now the Republicans are laughing at us because we are taking up time defending Sarah instead of asking the tough questions. As women we need to ask ourselves who we will trust our futures with, I personally want someone in my corner and not because she's a woman (any woman won't do) wake up America before it's too late. Next time you pay over $5 for gas,or $6 for milk or you have to say goodbye to a loved one off to war or your neighbor loses his house think about who you REALLY want running your country. Do you want someone just because they are a woman or do you want someone who can take care of this country. We need to ask ourselves who we want staring down Russia, China and etc. Sarah Palin or Joe Biden.....PLEASE think responsibly....I'm asking for our children's sake. Since you couldn't have Hillary, do you really want just any woman? All I'm asking is to really think...so don't vote just to have a woman in the white house, vote for who you honestly feel will be best for this country...the Republicans are hoping you don't think, they're hoping you jump on their bandwagon just because he chose a woman, let's tell them we can think for ourselves and the best way to say it is to vote Obama and Biden in the white house. Thank you.

we pray for Mc cain and Palin,they already win,they already choosen! they are the next american president!

is it still 243 -189 on the electoral map? that's what counts. if mccain gets more 'national' votes,but they are from red states,then it doesnt matter?

It's just amazing to me that after the way the Republicans have RAVISHED this country the past 8 years, anybody with an ounce of sense could even consider voting McCain into office. Even with all of Obama's PERCEIVED shortcomings we'd be better off with him an Biden in office. Besides...how much worse could they make things?? We're already the laughing stock of the world, spent BILLIONS on an ill conceived war that cost us more in lives than it was worth, an economy and unemployment at RECORD lows...and on an on. What can those people be thinking??? Oh I know...he's BLACK an McBush is a POW. Heaven help us!

So sad that the Democrats picked the wrong candidate. If HIllary was there, this thing would not even be close!

I can not believe that the American people are stupid enough to vote for more of the same- If you have lived in THIS Country the last 8 years- the LAST thing you want is more of the same.
This poll just makes me work harder for Obama's victory on November 4th!
EIGHT IS more than ENOUGH!

Women are so excited to finally have a woman in the white house. However, has anyone realized the damage she could do if she is a lame duck. Women will be set back and viewed as a gender that couldn't get it done. If Palin isn't exceptional, it may even damage Hillary Clinton's chances in the future. Women activist probably should wait until they are sure they are putting a strong female into the white house. They should wait for Clinton.

Brandon McMullen

Don't ever forget – a huge number of Obama supporters – those under 35,- are never, ever contacted by these pollsters because they don't have landline phones. Pollsters cannot call cell phones. You can bet that Obama is really ahead...........no doubt about it. And don't believe for one minute that these younger voters – knowing that it is their future being decided here- won't turn out. For sure they will turn out, in droves. But all you McSame people, go ahead and keep your brains in the dark ages (after all Johnny doesn't know about modern technology either..)

IT'S ALLLLLLLLL ABOUT THE ELECTORAL VOTES YOU BIG RETARDS!!

I mean this just proves just how STUPID the Republican truly are....they think they're winning when they' are really LOSING!!!

Talk about the "cattle syndrome".... I guess George W. Bush has them really trained on ignorance.

Dear Mr. McCain,

I met you at the Naval Academy in the late 90's when you held a small forum about your time as a POW. Your entire persona exuded courage and integrity; I could not wait to have someone in the White House with your character and values. Today, I saw your interview on the View and I must say that you have totally changed my opinion of you. You lied AND you lacked the courage to admit that your ads where clear distortions of Mr. Obamas Policies. After the Rove tactics used against you in 2000 I would not expect YOU to sink so low. Barack has my vote "for sure" NOW....

Respectfully,

A Navy Veteran for Change !!!!!

Wow, two points??? and your point is???

> It's time for someone to ask Obama the tough questions, and not except his beet around the bush answers.

You mean like Bill O'Reilly? Oh that's right.. HE ALREADY DID! And Obama didn't come off like a deer caught in the headlights.

Anyone here get polled? Anyone here know anyone who got polled?

McCain is a power monger. He is out to win the Presidency at any cost – even putting a dumb woman who knows nothing a heartbeat away from Presidency

A lot of people I know are nervous as to what will happen to this country if Palin is the President (when McCain dies in 1st term)

Please go check out Charlie Gibson's first interview with Obama. What a cheesecake interview. What a joke! "Who is Barrack Obama?"

Why such hostility towards Sarah Palin, VP choice, yet Obama gets a cheesecake interview running for President????

Einstein defines insanity as doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result.

Anyone voting for McCain and expecting anything different than what we have gotten over the last 8 years is patently insane.

thank god America is waking up to the phony that Obama is. He's also not doing himself any favors with his constant attacks on working women. News flash Mr. Obama, you can demean and insult all you want, we are still equal, well equal to everyone but you and your nasty supporters.

People are finally waking up and seeing the Obama is the worst thing for this great nation.

I still can't believe so many were duped by this charismatic phoony.

These polls are totally irrelevant and the methods don't represent national opinion anyway. It's the electoral votes that matter and Obama has more of those locked down.

can somebody poll me or my friends that are for Obama/Biden.........please!

Who cares about the "View"? No one watches them.

I bet the pollsters never asked a black person. As a white person, hell I was never asked my opinion of McCain. I find it ironic that there are polls taken daily or weekly, that changes the percentage of the rating to one side or the other, but they never mentioned if it's by zip code, phone extension, state, businesses or the like. Are they afraid of transparency? If you want to influence our opinions, do it with nake thuths, and not by any hidden agenda.

I am a huge Obama supporter. I was an independent before this year but after 8 years of misery, I will never vote Republican again. I really believe Obama/Biden is a better solution than McBush. I also believe that bigotry is alive and well. I think it will come down to that...RACE. It makes me sad that people are so ignorant. Fear and Smear, it's what the GOP does best. I hope I'm wrong.

Hillary is a pig. Palin will be president in 2012.

Palin 2012

Why is Obama sinking in the polls? Let's see......People are finally learning the truth about Obama. He's an empty suit with a tax plan that will kill the economy. He's an absolute zero on international politics and national security issues. His running mate is a complete dud that managed to get a grand total of 7000 votes from his own party when he ran for Pres. He hangs with folks like Ayers and Wright. And, he's got less experience than the Republican's VP candidate!

I believe at the end of the day people will go into the voting booth and they will think about voting for the "Leader of the Free World" and they will vote for Obama. Why? 18,000,000 people voted for Obama in 50 different states! Dems have a deep bench.

McCain is weak and people will see that his VP pick is stronger than him (which doesn't say much). They will vote for Obama and try to run Palin in 2012. It's just that simple. They don't want the Republican future tarnished by a McCain failure (remember the Neo-Cons aren't impressed with McCain, they don't like him). The true Republican base want Palin not McCain. They don't care if McCain lost, in fact they can't wait. They will run Pain in 2012 by then she will have more Governorship experience.

Dems on the other hand need Hillary to be the VP pick right now so she can run in 2012 against Palin by having had VP experience. You will see Biden bow out and Hillary come forward just in time for the first VP debate. Watch!!!!!!

i'm sure Mcshameless is ahead by 2 %

amongst your senile know-nothing racist redneck southerners and

loan-sharking war-profiteering neo-cons, LOLOLOL

Ever hear of the silent MAJORITY, McCain's lead hasn't anywhere near peaked !!!

McCain / Palin

I am Hillary supporter (still). I remember that Bill Clinton had predicted his wife big win. But what happened to Hillary? Heartache to me, more so when she was not picked as VP.

I switched to McCain/Palin ticket now. Not because she is a woman candidate, she shared a lot of common problems/thoughts with us.

I see the change sign a little more in McCain / Palin ticket than in Obama's with Biden, a recycled product of old Washington insider.

When I got to know he was notorious for GOOD TALK, I said: come on, switch.

Will some one please answer this. If McCain & Palin are such christians WHY ARE THE TELLING BALD FACE LIES? Even after being called on this issue they don't stop. If this is how the White House is going to be ran what makes them any different than Bush.

McCain/Palin ticket

The same product with different packaging

Palin .... The smoke screen

where is mccain in the polls obama

2 points up and rising

The fact that McCain is even close to Obama, let alone leading by two points, makes me despair of Americans. What kind of blind, non-questioning idiots would continue to support a Bush clone after the last 8 years? What kind of morons are you people? Have you even been paying attention to what's happened to this country? If America elects McCain, America gets exactly what it deserves.

people, wake up and get informed, that is one scary alaskan woman.
get invoved, grab your neighbors, dont let lies and distortion beat ideas and change

obama biden all the way

Thank you!

To Obama supporters who vilified anyone who did not agree with you. This is the backlash of your cruel and demeaning comments. Your childish rampage against Hillary and her supporters has driven a wedge into the Democratic Party. Your arrogance has kept them away, and your condescending attitude will be your karma.

McCain/Palin '08
Hillary 2012

Polls are meaningless it's the electoral votes that count and Obama still has the lead! Mccain ain't going anywhere accept one of the seven houses he owns!! Wonder which one he'll retire to!

Obama/Biden 08!

nice, proves my point that Americans are clueless, they like being lied to, they like wars, they like not having enough money to put food on the table...they like not being able to pay for gas , they like no healthcare...they like going into debt just to be able to pay for education, they like losing their homes, they like having no jobs...

If America doesn't wake up they will get what they deserve and please don't cry foul for 8 more years...dont say a thing!

Kathryn, Nevada.....

I bet you can wait for McLiar to become president. He'll be sending you all the nuclear wasted from the 31 plants he's planning to build. You won't need lights because you'll be glowing in the dark – How bout that Sparky?

Its such a shame John McLiar appeals to "low intel" voters. He has such a large following here in America

I HAVE VOTED IN EVERY ELECTION FOR THE PAST 36 YEARS, AND I HAVE NEVER BEEN POLLED.

OBAMA 2008

These kinds of topics just goes to prove how myopic republicans are. News outlets can post anything and these idiots will buy it without digging deeper into the facts. They need to stop just polling land lines.

McCain was born in Panama, let's check his birth certificate, yes he is panamian, how is he running for president when he wasn't born in US main land. another double standard. Next, Arnold Schawarz will be running for President.

>>>>Obama 08>>>>>>

The majority of America would rather put this out out of touch white man and gun toten, extreme conservative woman than to put a Black man in office.

Why won't the elephant in the room just be pointed out. There are more racist out there. People are not answering these polls based on issues, they are deciding based on race.

Poll of Polls???
what... ever...

Polls don't make elections, and they don't win elections.

If the Democratic Primary counted like the general Election electoral college, Hillary would have been the Nominee. And all those States would be Blue right now. All you college Educated children better do your homework. Red state Caucuses may get you nominated, but they don't count for a hill of beans come election day.

Women of America – Stand up!

Why do people believe the republicans can change? Who has controlled all of DC 6 of last 8 years? Who fillibusters every bill they don't like or think that might be percieved as good for their opponents?
REPUBLICANS
Who said "We will block every significant piece of Democratic legislation, then run on a platform of a do-nothing Congress"?

Do you believe?

There is another way! Change You Can Believe In!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08

How on earth, could anyone who cares about this country, and puts their country first, vote for four more years of the same. Over 80% of the country believe we are on the wrong track. Are they so easy to fool? I would like for one McCain supporter, to give a real example of where the senator differs from the Bush regime.

Anyone with any statistical background knows these polls are conducted without adhering to all the rules of an efficiently statistic sample.

They are polling ONLY landlines. Think about how many people nowadays don't even own a land line and just use cell phones?

The majority of the 18-35 year olds don't even own landlines, this poll is basically stating that 46% of old people are voting for McCain, not that high of an amount.

Look for Obama to win big.

Aw, and lets not forgot our fellow American's and soldier living abroad. McCain is going down!!!!

In our office of approximately 200 we did a mock election. All genders, races, nationalities and religions are covered here. The end result? Obama 72% McCain 21% 7% undecided...and I live in Republican SC. I don't believe the national polls.

Notice how they don't even say how many people they polled?

If you poll 1,000 people I hate to say that doesn't make up the minds of 300 million. Also you need to look at the questions being asked.

Example: Do you like the way McCain parts his hair compared to Obama. 50% white men says yes and 40% say no, 10% undecided 4% = or -.

See McCain is leading against Obama, HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

NOV 4TH then take your poll........

I know of no one that has been polled as of yet. So who are these people they are polling and where are they.
Obama will win anyway

Clinton Fans 2012 lol

This is a joke. Elect Mccain if you wish but your ignorance and hatered will only hurt you and your family. Why do you think they stress the word Conservative. It means they are trying to conserve theyre way of life. If your not in the 10 million dollar plus a year club you cannot even serve the food at the table let alone sit at it. Here is a person that they have yet to let the media talk to her. Here is a person that they are giving on the job training to take the place of this telepromter idiot once he crokes. Vote for Mcsain and Gun Slinger Annie and when your sleeping with your family beneath a bridge or in the woods with your old girl scout or boy scout tent, then your going to realize that it does'nt matter what the package looks like that will bring you the real change that you and your family need to survive these hard times.

Hope all the Obama cultists are happy now. They threw away the Whitehouse again. Any fool could see that he was not qualified. Hillary would have mopped the floor with McCain/Palin. The DNC holds a lot of the blame too. Do they WANT to lose or something?? They could not pick a winner if their life depended on it. Thanks superdelegates, we will remember this on election day.

THANK GOD! Finally, change I can believe in!

Unlike McCain.. Obama chose a VP for the purposes of a stronger executive office. McCain choses a VP just to get more votes. Obama could've easily chose Hillary and ran away with it.. but he was thinking about who would compliment him best in accomplishing goals.

None of these polls matter. After the debates.. Obama will win with a 20 point lead nationwide.

The novelty is wearing off, as the lies are exposed. Back to the issues important to Americans. Obama '08
God bless America!

Victory is within sight!

________________________
Feel sorry for yourself. Obama will go on to do great things. I am glad that you Democrats that use blacks to further your agenda, just like the womens movement but would never stand up with them on race relations have shown youf true colors loud and clear. If Obama loses, thats fine, only Obama thought America had change but don't count on black folks to help you guys win another election.

Its too early to start relying on polls...we still have 50+ days left in this marathon of a campaign. Supporters of McCain and Palin, let's keep the pressure on Obama. He is showing that he can't respond to pressure. Get out the vote folks!!! Make sure you vote on Nov. 4.

Do people understand that when polls are taken they ask only a few thousand people. There is a poll that gives the actual number of people they call. 1500 and out of 1500 people maybe 751 say they will vote for John Mccain so we go to another poll and that's about another 2000 people and maybe 800 decides now that they are going to vote for Mccain, polls don't mean anything. It is the way media and others keep us the Americans in suspense. What really matter is the Electoral College. Get real People.

The polls may show a slight lead right now but I really don't think it will continue in McCain's favor too long. I've watched part of the interview with Charles Gibson last night and Palin has been schooled and she sounded very scripted. She had no idea what the Bush doctrine was, and she tried to play this off like she knew the answer.

She scares the daylights out of me. John McCain wasn't thinking about Country First when he picked this woman. Obama was thinking about the country when he picked Biden who has more foreign policy knowledge than Hillary. This to me is the difference in judgement between the 2 candidates, and also that fact that Obama does care about the safety of American people when it comes to national security by picking Biden.

It is up to the american people to make the right voting decision. My question is to all the people who think this woman is qualified to be Vp or President if John McCain does not make his full term if chosen. Do you feel safe with this woman who sounds like she would be "Reverend in Chief",and the fact that she is shucking and jiving the American people into believing she is qualified to be VP, or the next president? I really pray you folks are more intelliegent than what the polls are showing .

You reap what you sow Howard Dean. You got what you wanted. You manipulated the primaries and loookey!!!!!

Go John and Sarah,we love you,cause Rush Limbaugh, our mentor told us to.

Sen Obama has been complaining a lot these days.
Does he know this is politics.

Does he know there are lotta things yet about him still wrapped up, and not public yet.

The latest pole shows that in general, LIES do work. However, every day we hear more and more that proves the McCain ads ARE indeed LIES. The American people are beginning to wake up and smell the coffee and the LIES. All of McSame's lies won't work this time, Not this Time. Our country is in too much trouble to be side tracked by Lies, sorry, McSame, not this year, not this time.

I really feel sorry for McSame and Palin, they have absolutely Nothing, nothing but Lies that is.

If Obama can get to Texas and demand the hurricane to go away and it does then Yes he will win in November.

Sorry but I dont buy these polls... they only call 1000 people and base it on that.

Stick a fork in Mr. Change and his dog Joe too

You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.

* You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.
* You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.
* You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of experience.
* You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.

BUT....

* 'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.
* That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
* After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln,FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days?

We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is – a start.

AND, sadly, a large sector of the American public seems to feel comfortable with this and campaigning for him.

We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are OK with this for the President of the United States of America ?

Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol.

I am an Obama supporter and have been from the start, as have my elderly mother, my husband, my sister, my children who attend the University of Michigan, my brother and sister-in-law in Ohio, my 5 best friends, my 7th grader's teachers, my ex-sister-in-law and her new husband, my UPS delivery lady, etc., and guess what? Not one of us has been polled-ever! Don't lose hope Obama/Biden supporters, we will win in November, and we will win big!
Keep the faith, keep the hope, Obama/Biden 08!

In my view, the evangelical voters are attracted to a Palin Administration because they are hurting with this economy and want their pain to end now. I think those people will be disappointed and disillusioned.

Many of the Republicans struck me as angry people (Rudy G and Tom Delay)

Hopefully, McCain,72, will finally retire.

It 's about the electoral college, stupid.

stephanie.....drink more kool-aid...lemming.

Ask McCain about his plans to reinstate the draft.... I dare you.

This just goes to show that nearly half the potential voters in the US are either really stupid or really gullible.

Just a sign of what's to come! Obama is going Down! It's time for someone to ask Obama the tough questions, and not except his beet around the bush answers. He gives answers that are open for interpretation! I guess so if he flip flops later, he can say, "you misunderstood me"! His empty suit is showing!

Robert from CA September 12th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Isn't Barack Obama A dual citizen of the U.S. and Indonesia? How can he be president and be a dual citizen?

Do you realize that you are a moron?

I find it hard to believe that these poll numbers took such a jump for John McCain. I'm amazed that people believe his negative campaign lies and attacks.
I personally don't care who votes for who, but, why does anybody want liars like McCain in the white house?

Wait until all those newly registered, young voters that don't get polled and who aren't afraid of change make their voices heard in the voting booths. McCain is going to look at the television and scream, "Avalanche!!!! Run, it's a landslide!!".

Just wait for all the Pallin hype to settle and for us to see the vacuous candidate for who she is.

I keep reading and hearing about Obama being black. I am a little confused by this, as he is as much white as he is black. Actually it shouldn't even be about race and those who are not voting for him because he is biracial are certainly showing their ignorance. This is an intelligent well educated man who has worked hard to get where he is. The world is watching this election very closely as the outcome will have an impact world wide. I hope the polls are wrong. Americans have lost the respect of the rest of the world with the Bush administration. I don't know how Bush was elected the last time, because any Americans who travel in Europe and are asked about him, all deny voting for him. So who did??? Surely the American people are smart enough to not make the same mistake again and then deny they are the ones who voted for McCain when things continue to go tragically wrong.

Are voters really going to elect another president based on the lies they tell during the campaign? Palin/McCain have not told the truth about 1 thing since she was chosen! McCain claims she is an "energy expert" but she either lied or didn't know how much energy her own state produces! Check the facts before you vote!
She was FOR the bridge to nowhere & then kept the $$ when she decided she was against it, she has gotten more "ear marks" per capita then any other state! She has no clue about foreign policy & would quickly start a war with Russia. McCain wants a war with Iran & agrees with the Draft. They both lied about the plane that DIDN'T sell on ebay & DIDN'T make a profit. If they would lie about the trivial things, how will they deal with the tough issues?

Turn about's fair play. You played all these games with Hillary – Called the Clintons Racists by pulling their comments out of context. Meanwhile you showed all your Sexist values – telling Hillary to Iron your shirts, Calling her "Mrs." Clinton, rather than using her title of "Sen." Disrespect. Did you think we would be misled?

Did you think we didn't see the truth when you called the reporter "Sweetee?" Now you attack Palin on the most Sexist rationale I've ever heard. We see your true colors. We will never vote for you. The New Republicans will bring change to the Whitehouse and we will elect more Democrats to the House and Senate to keep them in check.

Then hopefully the DNC will realize what fools they were, come to their senses and nominate Hillary in 2012. Hopefully, the Nation has seen what happens when you vote race or gender vs. Qualifications.

Don't let them tell you to sit down and shut up. Woman of America – Stand Up!

Obama has met his match and she wears lipstick and flip flops! Please people wake up, she is just another aggresive polititian with her own interests at the top of the list.

the polls were way off in primaries.. Wonder if they changed anything to adjust for what the problem was?? There was several states that the polls were more than 20% off in one direction or the other.. Has to be something that was causing the poll issue.. Might be cell phone number issue?? or new voters coming out that are feed up with last 8 years, that polls can't account for...

Don't believe it.....the real polls on 4 November. Thanks Barbara (the View), you did great! and i seen the WHOLE thang. Elizabeth looked like she wanted to jump, jump, jump, jump, jump, jump. Am so happy that mcsame/sweetpolly will sink them selves over lies, lies and more lies and i hope that i get to see the WHOLE Thang!

Sarah September 12th, 2008 6:38 pm ET

Obama doesn't seem to do too well under pressure

Apparently you did not watch the Palin Interview on ABC. She looked like a moron. As did McCain when pressed by that hard hitting (snark intended) Barbara Walters. The only thing either one of them have going for them is their ability to stand up in front of the America people and lie

The polls reflect a close race because we are a divided and not a homogeneous nation, divided by social values, cultural tastes, rural-urban-suburban neighborhoods, Sunday churches, abortion views, liberal/conservative philosophies. incomes, education, ethnicity, race, etc. Republicans have expertly exploited those divisions since at least 1968.

But I know 90% of Americans must agree on one thing: no more Bush/Cheney policies and NO THIRD TERM!

I challenge anyone to name a single important policy on which McCain/Palin differ from Bush/Cheney!

NO THIRD TERM was the Republican slogan in the 1940 election. Franklin Roosevelt deserved a 3rd term, but Bush/Cheney/McCain/Palin do not.

There really is a sucker born every minute. And as usual, the rest of America is going to pay for it.

whoever is moderating this, please listen to your conscience and think about what you are doing.

HEY BEVERLY

THEE POLL NUMBERS ON ELECTION WILL EVEN BE FAR WORSE THAN NOW.....BLUE STATES ARE IN THE PROCESS OF TURNING RED....

I HATE TO BREAK THE NEWS BUT A LANDSLIDE IS A COMING FOR MCCAIN.....

Well, I was leaning toward voting for Obama, but with all the nastiness and heartless vitriol being spewed here by the "Yes we Can" crowd, there is no way I can in-good-conscience vote for this party in November.

It's sad, you know? I am one of those republicans Obama had referenced in his speeches who actually switched over to the other side because I actually thought that he was a true beacon of hope and coming together. However, when I peek behind the exterior, the curtain...and I see how cold and heartless his "supporters" are (as evidenced by some of the comments on this board), and I see it's all smoke and mirrors.

Shame on all of you! Your heartless and small-minded comments show who the enemy really is.

Obama '08 <- Scratch this out!

McCain '08!

Don't all the McCain supporters realize that this poll indicates s DROP IN McCAIN'S NUMBERS??

You're all out there cheering, saying it's over for Obama, yet fail to reralize that Obama is getting back the lead he lost during the RNC.

The McCain campaign is imploding and nobody has a inkling. I will enjoy the next couple of weeks; it will be so much fun to watch the tide make its final–and fatal for McCain/Palin–turn in Obama's favor!

Robert from CA September 12th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Isn't Barack Obama A dual citizen of the U.S. and Indonesia? How can he be president and be a dual citizen?
For gods sake will you people quit spewing this CRAP? No, he is not a dual citizen, no he is not a muslim. Is it possible that the voters of this country are this effen stupid?"

how come nobody is saying anything about palin's husband saying on ape that he hates this country, they dogged michele for months and in sone places they probably still are, and she was weak once again on her interview tonight

Did someone say Bradley effect?

Those who say Obama should have chosen Hillary, must remember the Clinton baggage she would have bought with her. Nonetheless those who would have said Hillary forced her way onto the ticket and thereby challenge Obama's ability to be tough and strong.

Obama chose Biden. Biden is a good choice. The bloom will soon be off the Palin rose.....

Fox is a biased news source. They get talking points from the White House. Please do not include their polls in your reports.

You Hiliary supports are delusional. Palin nor Mccain have polices that resemble that of your candidate but you'd rather see them in the white house the Obama? Strange.

And you scream sexism? Did you not see how negative her campaign was? Why would her chose her? What makes you thinks he wanted to be his VP? Good help the dems, their own voters iare going to lose it for them.

November polling will tell a differnt story. We the people of this great nation will elect two great people to lead this nation 11/4/08 niether of which will be a truth twister or a moose shooter. Thak you

Oh how I love to see all the Nobamanots crying and whimpering. Didn't they see that they are backing a weak girlie man? Take away the stage, take away the teleprompter, take away the rhetoric and all you have left is a empty size small suit.
McCain/Palin 08 all the way to the white house!
YES!

Why is McCain's wife always glued at his side is she going to be at his side when he has major decisions to make as president??? Is this because he's so old or because he might get side tracked by another woman like he was when he was married to his 1st wife???

Obama's "change" is having old style politics by bringing in the Clintons.

Remember, one can win the popular vote but lose the election! Happens all the time, right Republicains? Obama is not out of the race just because he's dropped 2 percentage points on the popular vote. Ultimately, it's the electoral collage vote that matters. Use your brains folks!

Obama/Biden '08

I have never been polled not any of my friends and family . So where are these people? I wish they would put a poll on line and see what they get.
I believe there are more for Obama than what the polls show.

The poll numbers will chang once people see the Palins for what they are ,"More of the same".
I hope cnn will post my article and stop deleting it.
Palin=lies
ear-marks
lobbyist
war
tax-breaks for the rich.
P.S.Didn't palin say she would cooperate with the investagation into,
her administration,so why is she fighting along with her husband those Federal "SUBPOENA'S" sounds like more of the same,she is a roll of the dice can we take a chance on her and MCbush ,
Do we really need more corruption,ithink not
OBAMA-BIDEN08'

just as long the electoral map STILL remains in favor for obama...who CARES???

you think bush beat gore because of popular vote????

The only factor in deciding who to choose for VP is "who would be a good president if I were to DIE." It's not about who wins the support of this group or that group. Obama didn't pick Clinton, even though it would have helped in the polls, because he believes Biden was a better choice for PRESIDENT. Consider how McCain chose. A woman who doesn't understand the Bush Doctrine that led us to Iraq. That means she hasn't considered her opinion on the most important decision any potential president faces, which is "when is the use of military force justified.?" If she had, she wouldn't have sounded like a babbling pageant contestant when asked about this critical question.

by the way thats national polls, thats not the primary season anymore, so look at the battleground state, ohio and penn, obama winnin the major states right now so

As a Hillary Clinton Democrat, I find the fact that McCain ahead amusing.

Hillary 2012!

SORRY....THE POLLS CAN'T PERSUADE ME TO LOSE FAITH IN MY CANDIDATE BECAUSE THE SHOWED HILLARY WINNING BY A LANDSLIDE AND LOOK WHAT HAPPEN TO HER.

SO I AM CONFIDANT. I AM NOT WORRIED ABOUT OBAMA WINNING OR LOSING. HIS PRESIDENTIAL RUN IS NOT IN VAIN. HE HAS GOTTEN THE MESSAGE ACROSS TO THE AMERICAN SOCIETY AND THE WORLD THAT WE AS HUMAN BEINGS NEED TO WAKE UP AND DO THE RIGHT THING ABOUT OUR CHILDRENS FUTURE.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008-2016

People ought to go to the huffington post web page and look at the video of killing wolves from an airplane like Palin is so proud of doing as part of her crusade against nature.

The McCain camp then put out a video showing wolves killing a moose to justify the slaughter of the wolves. Talk about being out of touch with reality and their warped anti social views this one takes the cake.

Imagine comparing natures plan to wanton killing of innocent animals and expected dumb voters to accept this as justification. I suppose annie oakley also kills bald eagles because they kill and eat salmon or shoots and kills owls because they kill mice etc. ect.

This woman is crazy completely and totally out of touch with the normal and Americans should be very very scared. A mentally challenged senior citizen and a radical religious wacko with absolutely no idea about doing anything outside of retalliation.

A man who can leave his crippled wife after an accident and go for a rich lady is not trust worthy. Besides, this woman took care of your children whilst were a POW in Vietnam. Shame. Opportunist. American made the same mistake by electing Bush not once but twice. They are going to make the same mistake again. Einstein described insanity as someone who does the same thing over and over again and expects different result.

Are you serious....people grow up! All i see McCain and his play toy do is bark and state what they see wrong in what the other party is doing, wearing, eating and so on.....this is not what I want to hear. What are you going to do and how, PLEASE get to the point. These crisis in America are why to deep and important to sit here and listen to a elementary fight. Please are we not all Americans and want the same thing, then why not talk about the issues and pick who you think will do the right job. I am just tired of this BS........please America come out and vote- people do you part. Rally, talk, e-mail everyone and make sure they are registered. And to all you McCain supporters GOD Bless you , but I dont see a president or a vice president who will bring America back together.

Osama family (barack and bin laden) are whining every day looking at the polls that are keep falling down. Barack ask you brother bin laden to attack America so that you can win. Oh ya, don't forget to ask oprah to do the suicide bomb, she is willing to do everything ya tell her. Let her have her show in hell where only the liberals will watch...hahahahaha

It's beginning to feel like American Idol every day.

Failed decisions, failed leadership. Senator Obama's pride and ego will ultimately keep him from his presidential quest.

Senator Hillary Clinton and her 18 million supporters would have been a slam dunk for Senator Obama. He has shown poor judgment!

Democrats for McCain!

I hope the polls continue to work in mccain's favor because it will motivate democrats to vote in records numbers! Thanks! Has anyone else seen the video of the young articulate black man who is claiming to be the father of Bristol Palin's child? Will the scandals ever end? This family is worse than a soap opera.

Still have people out there pimping Hillary. She lost. She ran an inadequate campaign. Put herself millions in debt (what would she do with a large budget?). She's out. Gone. Get over it. Now you'll vote for old warmonger and Satan disguised as a woman from the Neo-Con state of Alaska. Yeah, makes sense. Screw the country because you're upset that your candidate did not win.

Gotta love the individuals out there who still say Sen. Obama is a muslim, not a citizen, call him Osama (you are just absolutely brilliant Nightingale, an unintellectual putz).

CNN is suffering from journalistic dishonesty. Since when did a difference of 2% with 10% undecided become a statistical difference? Are the polls conducted by statisticians who came from the same mediocre academic background as Palin? Do these statisticians know that there is a reason why the margin of error is included in statistics? Or is the entire establishment hell bent in keeping the American people ignorant about everything? Is it really that bad that a black man has made it so far that the whole system has been shaken into ignorance and fear? It's just mind boggling!

This is great news! I used to support Hillary, and am now on board with McCain. Two years as a senator just doesn't stack up against McCain.

I can't wait to see Sen McCain and Sen Obama debate the issues that Americans are focussed on. For a man (John McCain), who has thrust his "character" into the national spotlight rather than focussing on the issues and his specific plans for America, what does it say about his integrity when he goes on a national TV show (the View) and flat out supports the lies his campaign has advertised about Sen Obama? I'm an independent voter, a veteran of the First Gulf War, a father of two, and I would rather lose a war than sacrifice my integrity as John McCain has done! He may have solidified the Republican base with his VP pick, but he sold out the American people who once supported him. SHAME ON YOU JOHN MCCAIN! I'm curious to find out out if a poll was taken to show if Sen McCain hadnt picked the Gov from ALaska, how many people would vote FOR JUST HIM?..hmm

I wonder what is wrong with americans, BBC world poll conducted between september 10 and 11 suggest that over 90% of foriegn countries prepare Barack Obama. This is because the entire world is tired of Bush Administration and MCcain is no doubt another 4-years of Bush administration. And Republican in-effective foreign policy is seriously affecting the US economy.

Dear Friends:
Hijacking in Alaska drama! She has too big a mouth who wants it or her! Guilty she is shouting over the truth!

So Lehman Brothers needs a buyer. Are you kidding the best in this nations retirement investment and how many in the baby boomers is about to be transferred? Buy it and capitalize on Bank of AMerica and all others asian investments into AMerican and it is a good deal.

A Group of investors what a deal! Here in AMerica!
Any good stock brokers out there? ONe two three or four?

Everyone knows the polls are way off...you should probably keep track of the AGEs of the people being interviewed, and I'd be that not many are under 30. Young people will get out there to vote in DROVES, and that will be the most important thing. We're all too smart for being suckered into accepting Palin.

why does the poll of polls have no sampling of error? every poll has a margin of error, unless you asked every single registered voter. to be honest, neither party should get too excited about this poll, since its accuracy is clearly questionable.

on a side note...was anyone else expecting Palin to start insisting Charles Gibson go to candy mountain with her?....Charlie....Charlie...

Democratic voter registration is through the roof some I think asking 548 people what they happen to think on any given day is a bit of stretch in predicting victory. We are one John McCain heart palpitation away from an Obama landslide.

Its amazing that Republicans proclaim victory with the announcement of these polls–its incredulous really. As Americans begin to get over the excitement of a woman being named as VP candidate and begin to get angry about the joke she really is, things will certainly change. In addition, truth is powerful and we absolutely know that McCain has an aversion to the truth. Naming Palin as VP candidate is really a slap in the face to many. Surely there are female Republicans who are truly qualified to lead the amazing USA on day 1–Sarah Palin is not the person. She should go back to making sure the trash is collected and the potholes are filled in her community!

John McCain I want to know What have you done for our country lately?

Someone that has held the same office for 23 years should be running on their record ( 90 – 95 % with Bush ) or produce legislation that helped reform Washington politics.

Instead take on a VP without vetting who has allegations of misuse of office levy against her. The Mayor in Detroit will soon serving his sentance. I don't know has a VP ever been impeached?

I have been an Obama supporter from the start, as have my elderly mother, my husband, my sister, my children who attend the University of Michigan, my brother and sister-in-law in Ohio, my 5 best friends, my 7th grader's teachers, my ex-sister-in-law and her new husband, my UPS delivery lady, etc., and guess what? Not one of us has been polled-ever! Don't lose hope Obama/Biden supporters, we will win in November, and we will win big!
Keep the faith, keep the hope, Obama/Biden 08!

may God bless us all for another four more years of the same.

This will all change come debate time. Heck, McCain couldn't even stand up to the women on The View, let alone having to deal with world leaders if he were Commander in Chief. He can't even remember how he voted in most interviews (" Let me have my staff get to you on that"), let alone know how much Sarah Palin took (and KEPT) in earmarks for Alaska. I am betting that the President has to be a good deal sharper than THAT tack called John McCain. Obama will prevail in the debates and can't wait for the Sarah Palin smackdown when Joe gets to her in debates. Numbers will SOAR for the Obama/Biden team!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!

all you haters if it was obama is leading with 2 point then you people will say dont belive in polls. now it is john macain everybody is happy.well this is to show how far this country need to go to make a man or woman of colour to be president.
i cant belive this is really happening even the ones that are calling obama osama.well we shall see on november 4.
truth will be told.

Elect a president who doesn't know how to use a computer or send an email. Who doesn't know anything about the economy.

John Mcsame is that person and that is the change he brings to America.

Voting for McCain/Palin!!

Just remember people. This is CNN.
And, it is a long way to Nov.
Mccain/palin will self distruct.

All of you people who are excited about having a pretty, hockey mom for a potentialVP or even president of this country had better start looking at McCain & Palin on the issues, and not at her legs or McCain's heart touching story of his POW days! They won't change from the way Bush and the rest of the Republicans have been doing things. Don't listen to the lies from their lips, look at what and whom they've been supporting…..Bush's failed policies! They have both voted in support of all of Bush's "things to mess up" list, over and over again….and will continue to do so.

Bush Doctrin Sarah, what the hell is it????

And that's why Obama is on the attack.

Looks like the shine is off the apple...

To every american who plans to vote,come NOV,4 make sure you come real early ,and bring all ID. the Repub's will try to steal this election.

John MCain sold his soul to the devil; and the devil's minions (Rove and Schmidt) are now hard at work.

God Save America!!!

Polls sample a VERY small percentage of voters which should be listed with the poll numbers along with, the party percentage, age group polled, time of day called, the fact that cell numbers are off limits and questions asked should all be list with the polls these can effect the results by a measureable percentage. Polls during the past year should shown them for what they are...pretty much unless.

So many polls are MSM driven and that adds to keeping their ratings up, give me the days when news programs were not rating driven but there to inform the nation.

Do you expect us to believe this crap? You did not report for at least three days according to YOUR POLL of POLLs that you were showing McCain only one point ahead. Why not headline the electorial vote polls? It paints the total opposite picture OBAMA 243 to McCain 189? Go ahead, I dare you to headline these numbers? What's wrong, too much of how people are TRULY voting? Don't think you can continue to bring in the tabloid, circus ratings right? I beginning to wonder about the integrity of professional journalism.

Hillary Clinton needs to leave the democratic pary a few months after this election, join the Republicans and run in 2012 as a Republican!

Hillary is not a part of the socialist/fascist left-wing that has taken over the democratic party! She is a moderate!

McCain Palin 08!

You Would Think The GOP Begins And Ends With;

"WHITE WOMEN" "WHITE WOMEN" "WHITE WOMEN"

"WHITE WOMEN" "WHITE WOMEN" "WHITE WOMEN"

"WHITE WOMEN" "WHITE WOMEN" "WHITE WOMEN"

I'm A WHITE WOMEN Hockey Mom And It's A Big Deal!

Yay McWar is ahead, Yay four more years of Bush, Yay WW 3 is coming, Yay economic depression is guaranteed, Yay Yay Yay !!

Liars lead in the polls? It just goes to show how low McCain and Palin will go to grab power. I remember the days when children looked up the President and some even aspired to be President. With people like Bush and McCain – it has and will continue to be a position of dishonesty and corruption. How sad that people are eating the "dog" food being spewed by McCain and Palin. They have been caught over and over lying on their past and lying on issues. When are voters going to get that they cannot be trusted? Is this the kind of characterless leadership you really want in the White House? I find both of them disgusting and disgraceful. Obama and Biden have been telling the truth from the beginning. No one has accused them of lying or exaggerating their past. They speak of real plans to address the issues affecting our daily lives. I will be voting for character, integrity, and honesty which means Obama and Biden.

These polls are not the be all to end all.If you look closer the advantage for McCain is mainly focused in the south in the states that are already republican.The Electoral will decide.Interesting to note most allies polls in their own countries have Obama ahead by a landslide.The countries that want to see America rise again all want Obama to win so that the healing can begin.Interesting to see Palin interview and note that she used the words "no blinking" a few times but she sure blinked at most questions and did not give an answer without being asked the questions more then once.Most of your freinds and neighbors are rooting for you Dems.Go get em !!!!

THIS MEDIA REMINDS ME OF THE MEDIA IN GERMANY BACK IN THE 1930s WHEN THEY JUST SAT BACK IN DIDNT REPORT NOTHING NEGATIVE ABOUT HITLER,IN WE ALL KNOW WHAT HAPPEN AFTER THAT.SARAH PALIN MADE A BIG GAFF YESTERDAY ABOUT GOING TO WAR WITH RUSSIA,BUT THIS MEDIA WONT REPORT IT,BUT THEY WILL TALK ABOUT THE LIPSTICK ISSUE,THIS MEDIA IN THE UNITED STATES IS REALLY BECOMING A JOKE,YOU HAVE TO GO TO THE BBC JUST TO GET REAL NEWS.THIS MEDIA IS BECOMING A BIG TABLIOD,THERE NOT DOING THEIR JOB AT ALL,IN THEY SHOULD BE A SHAME OF THEMSELVES BECAUSE THIS WOMAN IS NO WAY QUALIFIED TO BE VP IN THEY KNOW IT,THESE PEOPLE WHO CALLS THEMSELVES SERIOUS JORNALISTS HAVE TO BE LIVIN IN SPACE.WHERE ARE YOU TIM RUSSERT WHEN WE NEED YOU.

a week ago it was 10 points... keep talking gov. palen. keep talking

MCsame,lost alot of honor ,respect, and pride,just to be president,
can you say "SELLOUT",.

On the View, I felt sorry for Cindy McCain because she did not get the memo on John's change on Roe v Wade. Cindy did not know that John no longer would support abortion in extreme cases.

Palin's the new kid on the block, that's all. People like new. Like the new restaurant in town. We haven't figured out if the food's any good yet. We wanna taste the food, Gov Palin! Why are you sequestering it? Maybe cause it's not really very good?

McCain couldn't even keep his cool with the women of "The View", how's he going to do with world leaders who will be weighing in on far weightier issues than Sarah Palin's earmark record (John probably had to "check with his staff" on that one, heck he can't remember how HE voted himself, in most interviews I've seen with him, so slim chance that he could remember HER record). Once the debates roll around, the cream will rise to the top: Obama will top McCain for sure in that arena and I can't wait for the Sarah Palin smackdown when Joe meets her in the debates. OBAMA/BIDEN '08 & '12 YES WE CAN!!

Why do people only believe polls when they go their way...laughable. What is not so funny is Obama. He promised us change...a new kind of politics...he was to be above all of this..and his campaign has gone so negative...I voted for him once...but never again...When he became a typical politician...he lost any chance of being the great reformer. His numbers should be lower as people like me wake up and realize he lied to us all.

These are sad times for the media the reason why the polls are favoring McCain is because the News Choose to only cover Palin. Just another form of discrimination. I know you will come up with all the reason it because she new to American People but be honesty its because She is a white female. This is sad.

When Obama loses Democrats are going to feel pretty stupid about turning their backs on Hillary Clinton. Obama has destroyed any chance of saving this Nation.

Well it's about time the GOP comes up on top. Let them enjoy it. TOO BAD won't last.

Was leaning for McCain, now for OBAMA/BIDEN. Palin is a joke doesn't know a thing about foreign policy.
I'm a stay home mom and I have nothing in common with her, but kids and gender.

She can afford a nanny, I can't. She can have a cook , I can't. How can I relate to her. PLEASE don't say women can relate to her, maybe Cindi McCain can, but not your average woman/mom.

All these polls are just an extension of the McPain lies. CNN please do what a news organization is supposed to do. Report facts that can be independently confirmed as true and report on the true state of the economy.

Pumas are idiots for voting against their own beliefs, for what, because Miss piggy Hillary did not get elected. Well guess what, pumas are stupid is as stupid does. You were used and now you are no longer needed. We won this elction without your help. So, go home. Palin will be president in 2012, bet on it.

palin 2012.

Hey Robert from CA,

Why don't you go ahead and keep pushing that dual citizenship thing? Maybe contact the McCain campaign letting them know about it - then they can run an ad questioning Obama's citizenship.

Heck, maybe just bring it up to our current President and Supreme Court - then they can get this whole election to become fraudulent and McCain wins by forfeit. Yeah, yeah, that's the ticket to honroable victory!

*sigh*

Have you noticed all of MSM is talking about President Palin

Is McWar not important anymore?

Sorry Johnny boy she has taken the limelight, you can be VP if you wish

Don't rely on the polls. The only numbers that count are the numbers on November 4. Oh and even though it seems like there are a lot of Obama haters, there isn't. I've noticed people writing the same things word for word under different names.

Every polling data from today indicates that the tide is turning towards Obama again. RCP has one that has Obama up one.

Give me a break, Foxnews Poll-you must be kidding me... Who 're the participants in this polls and the States in this poling? Cnn and Foxnews make up a poll and tell us McBush is leading–how pathetic?

Obama will win this, he's got the young voters like me. I turn 29 next month and I voted for the first time in my life during the primary, and si did alot of other folks I know that are my age, voting for the first time all for OBAMA!

Undecideds drifting to the McCain ticket because of Palin appear to not be bothered by her many weaknesses and inexperience. This is terribly unsettling. The recent interview of Palin by Gibson revealed just how overconfident and un-knowledgeable she is, particularly in regards to foreign policy. She is good at talking a big game and acting bold, but it was obvious she was blustering, making things up on the spot, and that she knows very little about how things work and why our country ought to be holding one position or another. I can see her being very easily influenced by the NeoConservative decision makers and doing whatever they tell her to do. In other words, the status quo will absolutely continue, and Republican extremism may even get worse under her and McCain.

The faster Obama loses, the better! YES!

Keep your cool ... Palin's first interview and all her scandals are showing daily that she is not the candidate they projected her to be. Drip-Drip-Drip! Remember : 34% still approve of King George II – those are lost souls and even McCain has them in the bag. The election is not won with a small lead in the polls and it is not lost if the opponent polls a fraction ahead. Stay on message!

Pumas,

See, we don't need all you screaming hillary supporters anymore to win this election. I hated having to kiss up to you. Hillary is a pig and so is her cheating husband.

palin 2012

Now after trashing Hillary you want her back? I thought you all wanted the Clintons to go away and never come back? You called her names made fun of her and said Obama didn't need her. Then you and Obama accused the Clintons of being racist. Now where does he go when he gets behind? Down on his knees begging the Clintons to help him. Ha Ha. The DNC deserves to lose and so do you hateful people.

GOP "WHITE WOMEN" Us To Death.

Pumas,
Thank God we don't have to kiss up to you anymore. We will win this without your help. Hillary is the true pig in lipstick.

Palan 2012

The only poll that matters is 270 electoral college votes. Everything else is just academic.
\1-20-09 Obama willbe sworn in as our new commander in chief. Mark my words.
I also live in Alaska about 20 minutes from Wasiila and Palin has more dirty laundry than it is led to believe. Not to mention leaving her town 20 million dollars indebt. It would be real fun to see her tax records for the last decade.

I hate to say it, but it is time for Biden to step aside voluntarily and for Obama to invite Hillary to join the ticket. I love Biden, but there is only one way to stop the incomprehensible excitement over Palin. Biden himself suggested that Hillary might have been the better pick for VP. Nothing would change the nature of press coverage more dramatically than to replace Biden with Hillary. A Hillary-Palin vice-presidential debate would also allow for a comparison between two strong women: between one who knows things that are relevant to the vice presidency and presidency, and one who doesn't. Joe, do it for the sake of the country! Four more years of Republican bluster and mismanagement may do irreparable damage.

Gallop has it McCain 48 and Obama 44...

Robert from CA September 12th, 2008 6:34 pm ET

Isn't Barack Obama A dual citizen of the U.S. and Indonesia? How can he be president and be a dual citizen?
____________________________________________

OMG, why, why must McCain Supporters continue to tell unsupported and rediculous lies?

Mark I don't know what area you're from but in my town most previous Hillary supporters are fleeing to McCain.

I just watched Sarah Palin avoid answering a question about any three differences she and McCain would have from Bush on the economy. She had not one concrete proposal to put forth that would be different. She has no clue what McCain would do for the economy. Of course, the same could be said of McCain.

One thing for sure, McCain is never going to let her answer questions without handlers around her again. She looked like an idiot avoiding the questions she had to know were coming.

it,s still early .john mCcain is just having his spring of rock star moment folks.he,s enjoying it too.he better because it won,t last for long.TO ALL HILLARY SUPPOTERS ,JUST THINK WHAT IS MORE IMPORANT ,HILLARY BEING VP AND CAN ONLY WORK HARD FOR YOU 4 OR 8 YEARS AND POSSIBLY END HER SERIVCE TO THE PEOPLE OR WHE N BAR ACK WINS SHE CAN BE APPOINTED A POSITION WHERE SHE CAN WORK FOR THE PEOPLE FOR LIFE.JUST THINK ABOUT IT SHE IS A HARD WORKER AND,A HARD FIGHTER,AND SHE WILL BEST THE BEST EVER,SO VOTERS LET,S GET SERIOUS ABOUT THE ISSUES WE ARE DEALING WITH TODAY BECAUSE WITH mCcLIAN/ PALIN IT WILL BE THE SAME AS THE LAST 8 YEARS. WE CANNOT AFFORD TO FORGET ABOUT THE ISSUES JUST TO PUT A WOMAN IN AS VP.THERE IS TO MUCH AT STATE. OBAMA/ BIDEN 08 TO GET US OUT OF THIS MESS WE ARE IN.

Not in Oregon !

Obama 08

Great News.

BRACE UP FOR ANOTHER SAME FOUR YEARS.
BRACE UP FOR ANOTHER SAME FOUR YEARS.
BRACE UP FOR ANOTHER SAME FOUR YEARS.
BRACE UP FOR ANOTHER SAME FOUR YEARS.
BRACE UP FOR ANOTHER SAME FOUR YEARS.
BRACE UP FOR ANOTHER SAME FOUR YEARS.

I can believe how bad this election is being reported against Obama

- He is giving retired people making less than $50,000 no taxes

- Also, Obama spoke of putting laptops on every school desktop so that every student could be making powerpoints and websites before they leave school

- Report the facts of what they stand for

- So many I talk to males and females are frustrated because there is no where to go to get the facts about what they are going to do

- When I hear Obama speak I hear these things but then I watch the news and there is nothing about it

- Hmmmm...... ladies are ticked about the lack of coverage of John McCain saying he thought Roe vs. Wade was a mistake and should be overturned and they are puzzled why nothing is being mentioned beyond ABC

I don't support Bush's policy in Iraq, but i support McCain this time. Look what is happening in Georgia (Europe); Russians are starting new cold war. McCain's foreign policy is realistic and pragmatic and i believe he can stand against russian threat. Obama is too unexperienced in foreign policy and i doubt he understand real situation in world politics. I want to see as a next president of US a person which will not sacrify eastern European states (Latvia, Estonia, Ukraine, Georgia etc.) to russian bear. I want to see such American president who will defend basic American principles – freedom and democracy in all world. McCain is a man whom America can be proud of; he will not betray American allies!
McCain/Palin '08

You notice to the lastest polls where Obama is down has FOX news polls factored in. What a hoax. On the other hand, Al Gore was popular and Bush Jr. won the electoral votes. I guess Obama would rather win the latter. The Mccain campain don't really have a ground plan but to stir up old generational and racial tension in the south and throughout the country, masked by ultra conservitism.

Well, Palin/McCain supporters, enjoy 2% points while they lasts! – thanks to Palin's poor performance yesterday and today during Charlie Gibson's interview and McCain's clueless performance on the View today, the tide is changing!!!

I find it interest that Obama has been called a "celebrity" out of negativity. Now Palin has entered and the media has deemed her a "celebrity" as well but no one thinks that is a bad thing now. I think the Presidencial candidate should outshine the V.P.

YEA.... YEA..... YEA....

The end of Obama... so much for the 7 point lead...

LOVIN IT...

Finally.... America is seeing Obama for what he is... HOT AIR

This is the first time that I've ever said that I would be afraid if the Republicans win...even when Bush was running for a second term.

If McCain had picked anyone else, after election day most of us wouldn't care if the Republicans won. It would be business as usual. But not this time.

McCain has turned this election into a joke. Is that what mavericks do, make a mockery of the trust of the people. And you people who support his bad judgment better pray that he lives if he is elected.

All of you Hillary supporters who are ready to destroy your country because you are sore losers – listen up:
If McCain / Palin are elected, a religious right-wing republican like Sarah Palin has a better chance being the FIRST female president than your beloved Hillary Clinton.

Its really sad that you care more about Hillary then you do a woman's right to choose, equal pay for equal work, the environment, civil rights, the economy, and ending the war in Iraq.

If you elect McCain/Palin because you are mad about Hillary losing the primary then you will get what you deserve.

Enough with the hillary nonsense. Palin was a boost because she's a hardcore right winger and energized the party (who thought McCain was way too moderate). Hillary as VP would make little if any difference.

careful democrats Palin just told Charlie Gibsons that as VP she would resind Roe V. Wade. We need to think very hard about just handing our vote to a woman because we are mad about Hilary.

I believe everyone here wants to know ALL the truth..not just bits

So here are a few questions Ms Palin before the election:

1. Since you were pregnant and you started to leak fluid, during a
speech in Texas, you chose to finish your speech and then fly for
11 hours back to Alaska. And then drive for 45 minutes to a hospital
in a small town to have a baby with health problems.

How so?...you would think that you would want the best care possible
for yourself and the baby at a large city to handle your needs.

2. I read in your newspaper that you gave birth to a 6lb 2oz baby boy.
Which you have told us that he was born 4 weeks premature.

Does a premature baby not weigh less if premature?..just asking.
Did you transport yourself and baby to a neo-natal unit because he was premature?..No because you were back to work 3 days after giving birth. THAT'S ODD

3.Why are all the family pictures taken off the govt and other websites?

Are there things there you don't want us to see?...Too late we've already seen them.

4. It's odd that the only baby's parents name that was born in the hospital on that day was definitely NOT Palin. Newspapers are printed

Looks like the MSM hasn't the gazoo's to check on these questions because the Repub will call it "sexist"

HERE'S MY TAKE ON IT....

You got a phone call when in Texas that Bristol was going into labor, so you booted it for home to make a good coverup.

Either there are going to be a lot of people perjure themselves, either way you and McWar are in a whole pile of hurt.

WAIT FOR IT.....NATIONAL ENQUIRE IS DOING MSM'S HOMEWORK

How can 10% still be undecided? The difference between these two tickets is huge...pick one!

The Mccain people acting like they won the election. The national polls really don't mean that much, its the polls by state. The race is to close for either party to believe its over. The Obama camp very smart don't count them out. The debates will really change the whole picture...OBAMA/BIDEN/08

No more repubs in the White House.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

Do you blame the Obama or McCain camps for the recent spate of negativity in the campaign?
78% of americans think its MCcain how come this aint news?

You people actually believe in these polls. Hahahahahahahahaha Give your heads a shake. Come November, the the GOP will be wandering what hit them. It will be a landslide for Obama. Bank on it.

Obama was 20 points down in the primaries?????? hmmmmmm

I wonder if they keep polling the same people every few days. I never get polled! And in which states did they take the polls?

It is the Electoral College that will decide who wins...not polls.

Pumas, why do you hate America? Why can't you see past your own selfish wishes to have a female president? Don't you understand that this presidential election is about more than ONE issue? Let me tell you what's riding on this, my husband's LIFE is riding on this, as well as the lives of several other military men. The education and well being of our children's futures is riding on this election. The right to choose, is riding on this election. The economy is screwed, and so is the housing market. Gas prices are through the roof and so is the nations jobless rate. And you CRAZY MENOPAUSAL CHICs are about to vote for someone who could careless about you or your issues. All because Obama made you mad. Don't you even care what you are doing to those of us in the generation behind you? Of course not cuz you got yours right?

Obama/Biden 08!

In his new ad Obama looks directly into the camera and defines a leader of real change ending with: "You need a leader that can unite the country". Ha ha ha, as a yellow dog liberal who has voted straight democrat for the last 40 years, I'm dismayed that the man who can't even unite his own party can display such hypocrisy. He's not ready, nor will he ever be. Hubris, pride, arrogance, conceit, deception, these are Obama's traits that undermine his character and debilitate any effectiveness, he is a pompous bird and arrogant SOB. I voted for Hillary, I will vote for experience again, with McCain. Liberal for McCain 2008.

Obama´s Secret Weapon: I can´t remember her name, but a woman with a European accent made an interesting point this week on TV. Her point was that Obama needed to harness the country´s anger with the economy, to pick one of many possible issues. She noted that both Nelson Mandela and Martin Luther King Jr were able to articulate their country´s anger without sounding like an ángry black man´, which we know is the #1 thing that whites fear. I thought that perhaps this could be Obama´s secret weapon to clinch the election. Finally, I would just add the following suggestions:1.Keep positive and trust the power of good old community organizing to get out the vote. 2. Keep giving specifics about what can actually been done about problem X. 3. Keep refering to the link between indivdual service and government acctoutability. 4. Keep saying that voters are more intelligent than the media and politicans give them credit.

McCain must be way ahead if the victious cnn polls have him 2 pts. ahead. He must be 15 or 20 pts ahead when this biased news media says he is 2 pts ahead. By-the-way how did you ever let Martina Stewart do this article? SHAME ON cnn for trying to brainwash American citizens.

No, she's no Sen. Clinton. No, I can't see her as President nor Vice President. I refuse to vote for machine gun barbie. She's not ready.

Yea but have you seen the wolf and moose poll since McCain picked Palin?!? Shame they can't vote!!!

NO COMMENT PERIOD

Big Deal America Loves a Liar.

Whatever!!! President Clinton has the statistics right; Obama/Biden will have victory in November, trust me.

All of you repubs enjoy the fun while you can...

Don't get excited. Unfortunately it's going to be Obama in November. I have always thought so even when I was supporting Hillary. I hope I am wrong........

People want to abandon Obama because he didnt vote for Hillary

You dont think us Obama supporters will do the same to her?

the poll didn't reach thousands but hundreds so who really believe that your poll is fair, nobody. You're probably reach the retired peoples at home when you call, so....try on evening when peoples are returning home from their job or school...

I agree it would be better for Obama to choose Hillary Clinton in terms of getting more votes.

The gap keeps closing. I wonder how long McCain can stay ahead with his pathetic ads, his dismal appearances on TV (he got reamed on THE VIEW of all places), and particularly the debates.

again who are they polling.. My mom, aunt, cousins, doctor, niece, great aunt, grandparents, and myself have never been poll!

mccain needs to surmount a large lead in these polls as they are biased to the older, landline phone demographic, something mccain will win. Most people under 25 only have cell phones.

the polls dont reflect the millions of new voters for Obama.

they only reflect the likely or registered voters of 2004

McCain is screwed!

Polls are never accurate especially during this election cycle. Out of 160 million American voters, only 25, 000 people get polled during an election cycle. So that aint saying much to me.

November 4 is the only poll that matters!

Wow.....the Dems have more than three times the amount of new registered voters and Obama is beind in the polls? Um....yeah....keep on spinning these polls baby....

CNN it is about time you speak about voters not being allowed to vote if they hade their homes foreclosed. This would be disastrous for those who want real change. The REPUGS will do everything to stop the Dems from taking over the whitehouse. Once can just look at how low they went with their ads.

The Popular Vote Doesnt Win The White House! It Is The Electoral College That Gets You There! Obama Is Ahead And Will Remain Ahead! Easy Win For Obama This Year! He Will Get My Vote For Sure!

Obama doesn't seem to do too well under pressure. Imagine how he is going to deal with all what is going on in America, not even speaking around the world. One thing is getting cheered by the crowd, another thing is running the country.

Let's see how things stand towards the middle of October. I sincerely believe that once the debates begin and more and more people begin to wake up to the truth about McCain's lies, in addition to the newness of Sarah Palin wearing off, the picture may look a bit more clear.

White women are easily misled.. Hey don't bash me look at the polls lol!

Obama/Biden Supporters, do not let this poll talk persuade you. Make sure you do all you can come Nov to get to the polls, tell your family and friends to vote early if possible. All will be fine.

Obama/Biden 08

"JIMMY" IT DOESN'T MATTER, IT DEPENDS ON WHAT OBAMA SUPPORTERS BELIEVE

LETS BE PREPARED FOR ANOTHER 4 YEARS OF IRAQ WAR, MISERABLE GAS PRICES, DECEPTION AND McSHAME

a scary day if MCCain wins....

for all the people who support and fight for lies and distorted truth to fit their needs to win(McCain campain, against Obama), what are you going to do if the "change" McCain and absolutely clueless, power greedy, blind Palin promote will further put us in debt, puts as a ridicule to the rest of the world, and compromises our safety, based on what they say... and who knows what they will do?

OBAMA/BIDEN
true leaders, that speak for the people and will work for the people!

gallup poll had mccain up 5 points 4 days ago

now its only 3

its getting closer and Obama still leads in the battle ground states. I think its reversed. CcCain is sorry he picked Sarah palin

lol

Does CNN poll of polls start by giving McPalin a 10 percentage point lead?

they are doing it close like this because when the Republicans steel this election again the corporate media will make sure it does not look like the fraud that it will be.

The Electoral College is the "only poll" that matters and it is on a state by state basis........Don't forget the ever increasing "cell phone" population!

Jimmy you are sadly mistaken. There is not a single Hillary supporter that I know who is supporting McCain..so Republicans you just keep posing as hillary supporters lol. You're wasting your time a silly blog will not erase the last 8 yrs of the bull we had to endure!
Hillary Supports Obama and in her words:
No WAY
No HOW
No McCAIN/Failin

Obama/Biden 08/12

I meant to say NOT voting for Obama in my previous post

Great news for cnn – "situation room" best political team you know wolf they are not the best...you don't feel shame to say the best political team?

This is telling in a very depressing way about the American people. How anyone can support McCain's disgusting, dishonest campaign, or be excited about an unqualified, ignorant VP choice, is completely beyond me. I'm just an informed, registered independent, and I used to be a fan of McCain's. But he's compromised his principles to an unbelievable extent in this campaign, and I no longer have any respect for him. Anyone who's being honest and objective about the subject would have to agree....

Isn't Barack Obama A dual citizen of the U.S. and Indonesia? How can he be president and be a dual citizen?

Do all the Hillary supporters who are voting for Obama realize that

A) Giving Palin 4 years of experience will not help Hillary in 2012 and
B) Doing so will result in Roe v Wade being overturned, not to mention the Supreme Court being dominated by Conservatives for many years to come.

Wow, talk about only voting based on Gender. Even if it goes as you think it will and Hillary gets elected in 2012, she will be stuck with a radically conservative Supreme court.

if the media would stop their fascination with Palin and do their job..Palin's extreme record would be revealed, as well as her unethical conduct, and McCain would look like the impulsive and reckless hot head he is for choosing her...

wake up america!! these polls are skewed because millions of new voters are likely not included, cell phone numbers of voters aged 18-34 are not included..and these are by far Obama supporters.

so..let's get to the issues and then we'll see where the polls go!

go Obama Biden..the only logical and safe and progressive choice for this country!!

Now That The Republicans Are Ahead You Guys Can Stay Home On Election Day!

Great news. Keep it up!

Meanwhile, Obama is going to give a major speech on keeping our tires inflated. And of course he'll also call Gov. Palin a pig, and John McCain old. That's pretty much all he's got, except for his zombie-like followers.

The faster Obama loses, the better.

The only "poll" I'm interested in is the one that comes out November 5. CNN/Fox, at any rate, are focusing on news as they see fit to improve their ratings. I'm still waiting for more fair and balanced reporting, like equal coverage of Biden. I've got a headache!

I think Biden wishes that he wasn't picked as vp for Barack's presidential run. But it's too late to bail out now.

PALIN HERSELF, GOING ABOUT DESTROYING ANY CHANCE SHE AND HER COUNTERPART HAVE OF GOING TO THE WHITE HOUSE. . .IT'S NOT INTENTIONAL, SHE JUST DOSEN'T KNOW ANY BETTER!

OBAMA/BIDEN '08-'12

I did a rondom poll in Texas, yes Texas, of 1022 registered voters and found that the numbers are 60% for Obama and 39% for McCain. That is a lie. Maybe I should apply for a job with the McCain camp but since I'm not a lobbyist, I probably wouldn't get hired.

I WAS NEVER A HILLIARY SUPPORTER BUT PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SEN OBAMA GET HILLIARY CLINTON ON THE TICKET. I WANT YOU FOR OUR NEXT PRESIDENT..

I can't believe anyone would take overall polling seriously right now. If any polls are close to being correct they are state polls. This race will be won in mid-october. I'm an independent voting democrat this time. The conservative ticket is not at all impressive.

I DIDN'T BELIEVE IT UNTIL I RETURNED TO THE TICKER AND IT'S TRUE OBAMA SUPPORTERS ARE GOING NUTS, MCBUSH AND MCPALIN ARE SLASHING THE CORE OF THE """"UNITED""""" DEMOCRATIC PARTY

IT'S NOT SAD, IT'S SCARY

When the 5 million cellphone only users come out for Obama..this thing will be over in his favour come Nov. 4th. Don't be fooled by these polls..they don't tell the whole story.

Thanks Sarah Palin!

McCain is ahead by 2 points in the polls because the media and pollsters are polling disproportionately more republicans than democrats, moderates and independents. Try as the media might to influence the outcome of this presidential race, this race will ultimately be decided by the voters. If people think McCain is going to win, I have got a bridge to sell ya. LOL!!!!

I'm glad the numbers have gone down and will continue to do so. The McCain camp has not talked about the issue since he announced Sarah Palin – all they have done is attack. The people have to ask themselves – what are they trying to hide?

Obama/Hillary would have been unbeatable...and now this.

It a straight up shame how this old man lies.. That all I have to say about that!.

Poor Obama!

Sooooooooo Sad!
NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Go McCain/Palin

There we have it is America the most developed nation on earth ready to elect a president who has not adopted a simple technology such as using a computer or sending an email yet all of a sudden claim to be the agent of change? Stand up for change people!!!

I didn't get poll or my family and friends.

We are all for obama/biden

THE TIDE IS REALLY TURNING ON THE HOMESTRETCH.
MCCAIN – PALIN REFORM AND REAL CHANGE IN WASHINGTON COMING. YEAH, HILLARY'S SUPPORTERS ARE IN THE MCCAIN -PALIN CAMP.

JOHN YOU'RE AN IDIOT

I think these polls are no longer an issue. It doesn't matter if Obama leads or McCain leads, what matters is how people vote Nov 4th.

Got to love it!

let mccain/palin have this one. the road will be paved for hillary in 2012. the sexist dnc, and obama camp deserve to lose! mccain/palin 08, hillary 2012!

The only poll that matters is November 4th. I hope that Americans are not this stuck on stupid!

2 points = 2 notches higher on the Lipstick wheel

Please, please, PLEASE, PLEASE don't elect another Bush Republican into the White House, into the most powerful position in America. Please.

OMG I CAN'T BELIEVE IS TRUE THIS SHIP IS REALLY SINKING

TOO LATE OBAMA (CALL OPRAH TO SEE IF SHE HAS SOME NEW IDEAS SO THIS WON'T BE AS TRAGIC AS IT LOOKS)

PALIN SAID IT: OBAMA MIGHT REGRET NOT CHOOSING HILLARY CLINTON AS HIS VICE PRESIDENTIAL RUNNING MATE

Polls schmolls.

25,000 people in a year are polled. I think we a few more registered voters...

The Red States had their turn at runing the country and look where it got us.

America, aren't we better than this? Do you really want someone who would lie to your face as your president? Someone who will do anything regardless of what the cost is to their own soul in order to be President.

At what point does this become real for people that this isn't a silly game of gotcha, this is our country. We're Americans and we stand for something good, not win at all cost politics.

It's disapointing to me that America hasn't learned this by now. I'm shocked that after everything, the Republicans are still in this. What more do they have to do!!! We're better than this!

who cares?

Barack will win by landslide, Clinton said so, it will be so.

Hope he and Biden are heading to texas/Louisiana tomorrow and start charity events etc. for the people, that lost or will lose their home in the upcoming hours.
Obama+Biden 2008

We Americans, particular women, start to see Palin for more than a hockey mom, pitbull, etc. and start to concentrate on the issues she's for and against I believe the race will turn in Obama's favor. I believe women are voting based on gender and are not looking at the state this country is in. When McCain and Palin have to start answering question about the issues, then you'll see a change in the numbers.

Time will tell: Just look at the interview McCain did with The View, Barbara Walters asked the tough questions and McCain couldn't handle it.

I love this country. Here we have such a great military veteran POW who is able to run for the highest office in the greatest nation on earth and make up lies and false accusations like a 2nd grade bully. Now that is democracy for you.

Cool I wish it were 99 points

osama please call Ellen or Oprah and maybe Dr. Phil

They may help you with your crying jag

Get real and pull up your socks. No real man cries and whines.

You are a whiner

Wake up America. Osama is lying about McCain every day

Please bring HILLARY back!

Faux news poll? Now that's a reliable source. Did they conduct the poll in Palin's home village in Alaska?

hillary!
