*******most of the people who claim they are hillary clinton supporters are not because if you believe in what she did you would follow her. most of these so call hillary supporters are undercover closet mccain supporters(operation rush limbaugh confusion)

Did anyone see the great job the women did on saturday night live. It said it all No McCain no Palin Nohow noway

Actually, yes i would like 'another Bush' and to be safe another 8 years.

Please do not vote for McCain. Please consider if your child was at war. Please.

That is the most ignorant thing a person can say, Marci. Try to base your future opinions on facts. Learn about the issues before you open your mouth... you will appear less foolish. Think about the hard truths here... what new ideas does Obama bring to the table? None. What has accomplished as a US Senator? Nothing. Who knows what he even stands for? Do you? If so, please give me one specific example of something Obama has ever actually accomplished, or an original idea or his, and I will be very impressed. McCain has proven himself time and again through the legislation he has authored and the wisdom and judgement he has shown in forming policies (i.e. the troop surge, killing the bridge to nowhere, McCain/Feingold, McCain/Kennedy, just to name a few). He is not George Bush. He is not even a conservative Republican. He is an honest man who will do great things for this country.

Mc cain is simply going to continue with bush legacy which we are sick of.we really need a change and i personally think obama has got it

I AM AN INDEPENDENT VOTER,HOWEVER, NO ONE DESERVES TO WIN IN NOVEMBER IF THEY GET THERE WITH A DISGRACEFUL CAMPAING FULL OF LIES. WHEN IS THE COUNTRY GOING TO REALIZED THAT A DISHUNEST CAMPAIGN WILL ONLY BRING DISHONOR TO THE WHITE HOUSE? THIS IS TOO IMPORTANT A POSITION TO BE HELD BY SOME ONE DISHUNEST.

How low does McCain need to sink into Rovian tactics before America starts seeing these people for what they are?

#1 McCain: destroying what reputation he had left for power...he wouldn't need to lie if he had any ideas of his own.

#2 Cindy...her View response was a sign of a true entitled elitist thinking they can control the media. You may have been able to pull it off with your drug addiction Cindy, but not this time.

#3 Palin...what rational American wants a creationism teaching, tongue speaking, power hungry incompetent a heartbeat away from the white house?

The Democratic fury is rising...Obama/Biden '08

mc cain is going to be another bush. if u want us all to suffer with the same policies and stupidity then go vote for mccain .

Look out, McBush. He's back.

Great make it negative ten points, and America will be safe.

Honestly speaking, for the sick of America's safety, please pleaseee American, please elect the Obama-Biden ticket for president. I'm a female, and respect Mrs. Palin for reaching this far. I apploy her for that.However, after watching "Sarah Palin Reveal"....hmmmmmmm i just can't see why any rational been will want her to be their VP? She is just not ready for it...

u.s.a system of electing a president is through electoral college,why is it not the main topic,have we changed the system to popular votes?

Big WhooHa! Wait til November 4th! Go Barack Obama!!!!

VOTE MCCAIN 2008!!!!

It seems when you lie and steal the American people embrace you with open arms. Trillons spent on a war that does not make American safer and billions spent to "bail out" corporate cronies. When will the lynching of the American stop? Don't reward this behavior with 4 more years. Our children will have to cash the checks our government is currently writing.

The Palin reality is setting in. The lies are being sussed and the MaGoo campaign has peaked.

Why is obama's campaign not making noise in advert towards maccain. This attitude suggest clinton ad of a tough presdient which obama is not showing now. Please Obama stand up be counted

Thanks America. You have demonstrated to us especially in Africa that you are a great nation that stands obove Race as the rest of us trivial over tribes and clans

No worries, as Palin keeps talking, that number will tank. McCain did not vet her, and that Alaska investigation will be the fall of his bid to win in November. Palio is suppsesly going to Washington to reform everyone according to McCain, but if Palin is found to have abused her power, the only reform she will be doing is in jail or community service and perhaps then she'll "sorta" learn what a community service organizer does.

Are you serious? When I saw this headline I laughed out loud. I don't care how many polls you combine. It's just not possible to eliminate error. Even if you were able to eliminate sampling error by polling the entire populace, you still have error because it's impossible to predict how people would actually behave on election day. And don't even get me started on the "undecided voters". Anyone with a basic knowledge of statistics would know that. Shame on you, CNN. Do you guys even have a statistician on staff?

This is yet another example of the media treating this Presidential Election as if it were some sporting event. Because someone has to be winning and someone losing, right? Enough with the polls. They're notoriously inaccurate and thus meaningless. But if you insist on using them, the responsible action is to state that polls that fall within the margin of error indicate that the race is even.

I think that these polls are probably pretty close. As a supporter of Obama I have troubles not being worried about them. I do, however, think that any boost Obama would have gotten from the convention and VP pick got lost in McCain's VP pick and convention. Palin has energized both bases, but fortunatly for the Democrats, she brings a lot of baggage that will destroy McCain's campaign late. Also, many of the Clinton hold outs will turn out and vote for Obama even though they are saying they won't. It's tough to think that you could go against your ideals that much to vote for McCain just to make a statement (Hillary should have been VP) that wouldn't matter much in the long term anyway. The Cilnton supporters have more to lose than to gain to vote for McCain.

I am a strong democrat since 2000.I never vote for republicans.This time I am going to vote for Mccain.The democrats and media has been played dirty role to defeat Hillary Clinton in the primary.

It is only a matter of time before the gap is closed between these two candidates and Obama takes the lead. As a country we are smarter than John McCain thinks. Sarah looked good, initially, for his chances, but the "Bloom is off the Rose", because when she talks nothing comes out. Sort of like dating a really good looking person who ruins it all when they speak....what a real turn off. I am also sickened by the picture that was shown last night on 20/20 with her standing next to a kill of a deer or moose, whatever. It was very brutal. If y ou beleive in "life", are pro-life, then why are you a "hunter" and why do you kill?

No matter what the Polls say – the Last Seven Years Happen!

Is this country really this dense? Have the last 8 years not taught them a lesson? Apparently the answer is yes.

This race is far from over.

What's the matter with you people – he's a republican, she's a republican – this country can't take another republican for 4 years – God help us.

Surely, all you who are unemployed and those who have had foreclosures this year are not going to vote for a repubilcan. Get over Sarah Palin and have some comman sense – they are republicans for pete's sake.

Have a look at the Newsweek poll: Questions 22-26.

OVER 50% of the people polled in that poll DO NOT know that:
1. Palin said 'thanks but no thanks' to the Bridge to nowhere only AFTER it was clear Congress would NOT fund it.
2. Palin is against abortion in the cases of RAPE and INCEST (only supports it IF the mother's live is in danger).
3. Palin has serious DOUBTS about the role of human activities in causing global warming.

It is really telling how uninformed the people that are polled are.

This is an indication that the palin factor is peeling off. American people are not stupid to fall for Republican deceits

I would like to know to whom are they asking these questions. I have never been polled, none of my family and fiends have ever been polled, and no one I have ever worked with has been polled. I was saying the same same thing when Obama was in the lead. I am starting the think that the polls are rigged, but then again Bush was elected twice. Maybe the American people are that dumb. Look at where this country is. Gas prices through the roof, people loosing their homes, an unjust war, just to name a few of the problems thaey we have under the Republican rule. McCain is always hollering country first, I don't see it. If the country was first it would not be in the position it is in now. The American people better wake up if they expect us to keep standing. Looks like we are heading down the same rode the Romans went down and we all know what happened to them. WAKE UP AMERICA.

I have said it before. The dynamics of this race will continuously change due to the closeness of the race. I am hesitant to believe any of the current polls. I will look at polls again in two weeks after the first debate.

Mcsame can only take the lead for at least one week. CNN by next week Obama will take it back. It's predictable that Obama will win the elections 2008. America can not afford a four more years of this disaster administration if so it's puting the country into a tomb. Mcsame is suffering of cancer in four parts of his body and McPalin as a weak woman as usual won't be able to take the lead of this huge country that we love so much.

NO WAY, NO HOW , No McSame

Obama/Biden 08

Are the pollsters surveying the newly registered who came out in record numbers to support Obama in the Democratic primary? These people would likely vote in the general election because they finally have a candidate they can be excited about? I have not seen any information on who is being polled. Most young people, recent college graduates, have only cell phones and wouldn't be considered likely voters because they traditionally don't vote. If they are included in the polls, wouldn't Obama be way ahead?

The wool is gradually taken from the electorate's eyes so now they will see the Republicans for who they are – deceitful and full of empy promises!

just like in the lipstick chronicles of last week CNN's focus on national polling numbers reflects an obsession with the totally meaningless. As the last two elections have shown, national polls that measure the popular vote are absolutely meaningless in a presidential race that is going to be determined by the state by state electoral college numbers. CNN would better serve its viewers and readers if it maintained a focus on the battleground states that are going to determine a selection.

Where was the 20 point bounce everybody expected after the GOP convention?

Why aren't Palin and McSame 30 points ahead?????

Why is this even close?????? All that experience as POW and Mayor of the 87,876 largest city in America and the race is this close....

16 years of winter, GOP, 16 years of winter!!!!!

This country has truely lost its mind, fix all the problems by electing the same people who caused them... I'm moving to Canada.

After America hears more of Palin and how she is not ready, Barack will be back on top again.

Obama/Biden 08

Obama is the best person to lead this country. McCain/Palin to many questions marks. To much like Bush

McCain was all over the Hurricane in New Orleans. Even cancelled the RNC. Texas is a Republican state but yet I do not see him anywhere. At least Obama cx'd his appearance on SNL.

Remember this, Texas, when you vote.

Gail
Texas

Yes, go McCain

Jews for Jesus

Cindy McCain refused to answer when asked, on The View, how many houses the McCains own, saying that that information is not part of this campaign! Now who are the real elitists here? The mega-rich Republican candidates and their huge corporate supporters, of course. (Some may say that Palin is not rich. I don't know how much money her family has but she bills the state of Alaska for so many of her personal expenses that it doesn't really matter- money is obviously not a Palin problem).How can middle and lower-income Americans continually fall for the Republicans' empty promises- you would think that after 8 years of falling prosperity under Bush (which followed the 8 years of rising prosperity under Clinton) that even those with short political memories would wake up! McCain/Palin is the ticket to self-destruction for America. If you are an evangelical who is hoping for the end-times, maybe this sounds great to you. For the rest of us, the edge of the cliff is getting closer and closer.

Doesn't look like McCAin's sleazebag tactics are pulling him away from Obama. His post convention bounce is winding down, people are seeing Sarah Palin for what she is, making it harder to hide behind her skirt, he's finally being called out for his lies and distractions and while I'm not going to make any ironclad predictions (with all the white folks who'd rather go through a third Bush administration that put a black man in the White House), I feel that it's going to be bad bad news for McCain from here on out.

America is looking past Obama's smoke and mirrors. He offers nothing other than rhetoric. He is not the realization of martin Luther King's dream he is the political version of Jayson Blair. A liar and a fraud who got o where he is by exploiting white guilt, racial sympathy and lower standards for persons of color due to affirmative action.

he might be one point ahead, but it's what happens in every state what matters, and Obama still holds a big advantage over McCain...

I am sure that we will see many stupid comment from Obama supporters..on your web..bad mouthing MC cain and Palin.

Obama better to wake up to the people . They are not so dumb to beleive his hotr air rhetoric..

People ar starting to realize the need of the country. .He was too proud or to naive not to court Hillary on his team. Now he will go and beg the Clinton to help him. TOO late BABY

ADIEU Monsieur OBAMA... Bonjour Monsieur Mc cain.

ocne again i must say cnn covers polls vary diffrently when obama is up as he is bye 1 point , cnn does not say obama is up , yet when mcain goes up 1 point cnns reaction is its front page news . what cnn ment to say today is OBAMA CLIMBS MCAINS CONVENTION BOUNCE OVER . SURE THATS WHAT THE HEADLINE WOULD SAY IF IT WAS VISA VERSA. NOW PALINS GONNA REAGNITE THE COLD WAR WITH RUSSIA , CNN TELL ME ALL YOU WANT PALIN SAID SHE DOSENT WANT A COLD WAR WITH RUSSIA , cnn that dosent matter its russias reaction is the only thing that counts . WELL SARA YOU WILL BE FIGHTING RUSSIA ON YOUR OWN BECOUSE THE ALLIES WONT BE WITH YOU , YOU WILL BE ALONE AMERICA.

Convention/Palin/Lies/Watchamecallit bounce gone already????
C'mon McCain. Lie a little bit more, you need to keep the momentum
McCain+Palin=Bridge to nowhere

As the dust settles, The celebrity start of Palin will fall, and the candicate will begin to be judge on the issues. No matter what, America just can't doing the same as the last 8 years. It comes down to who could really turn things around and bring back respect to America.

Convention/Palin/Lies/Watchamecallit gone already????
C'mon McCain. Lie a little bit more, you need to keep the momentum
McCain+Palin=Bridge to nowhere

Maybe, in previous election could polls offer a definite and acurate image of what may result; but not in this election where race, gender, status, and age are bias factors that tend to interfere with the honesty with which voters plan to vote. At this point, voters are so not sure who to elect. At least 80% of white voters would prefer vote for McCain. But McCain's age, his VP pick, and his war-oriented resolution worry them, add to that the disastrous unfruitful 8 years of republicanism. Given Mr. Cliton's outstanding perfomance as the last democratic president, it would be wise and fair to enthrust the pover to a democrat this time around. But voters seem too caught up in the traditional archaic discriminatory political system to hand over power to Obama whom they see as a black person rahter than the right politician to deliver the changes they aspire at. It therefore comes to say that discrimination may do more harm to those who practice it than to the ones it is praticed against.
95% of blacks would vote Obama. But unfortunately, they are at minority. Therefore without the whites votes, Obama can't win, this is only if race is playing a key factor in this election.
So, statistically, it is impossible for any poll to predict any outcome for this specific election. The surveyor's questions need to be clear, precise, well formulated, and should not intimidate, nor dictate to the interviewee an answer. And oftentimes the surveyors themselves represent a bias factor, their language, race, gender, and even their own choices involontary impact the way they ask questions which are shaped to obtain the answer they need in favor of their own candidates. Based on the above argument, polls are inacurate. One should not feel happy or sad if polls results do or do not favor one's candidate.

Where are Sarah P.'s tax returns for that past 5 or 10 years?

For that matter where is her tax return from 2007?

What is she hiding?

i am so ashamed of mccain, he lied on obama about the kids and obama with sex, he lied and ran attack ads in colorado on 9/11, he seems to be doing so much lying now, i am so surprised, what will happen when and if he gets in the white house, he is losing his credibility....

i am a democrat .I want to vote for biden obama not obama bide.
hillary 2012

Obama leads the projected electoral votes . That is what matters.

I have been noticing the polls moving back towards Obama. I thing the Mcain bounce has has gone as far as it has to go. As more people listen to Sarah Palin their fascination will wear a bit thin. I believe Obama will end up with a 5 point lead in the next few weeks.

I can't belive how the man who has no qualms regarding lying about his opponent, slandering him as a sexist and attempting to steal his message of change is even slightly ahead in the polls.
He'll even lie about the smallest of things. See this tidbit, (from Huffington Post)

"McCain aide Kimmie Lipscomb told reporters on Sept. 10 that an outdoor rally in Fairfax City, Virginia, drew 23,000 people, attributing the crowd estimate to a fire marshal.

Fairfax City Fire Marshal Andrew Wilson said his office did not supply that number to the campaign and could not confirm it. Wilson, in an interview, said the fire department does not monitor attendance at outdoor events."

Shameless. And to think, I once admired him even though I am left of centre.

I expect that this is the beginning of a decline in McCain's support. The Charles Gibson interview of Sarah Palin made many voters question McCain's judgment and responsibility in choosing her.

As the CNN Poll of Polls includes more recent polls and as the public infatuation with Palin continues to wane, McCain's support will decline.

I have been noticing the polls moving back towards Obama. I thing the Mcain bounce has has gone as far as it has to go. As more people listen to Sarah Palin they fascination will wear a bit thin. I believe Obama will end up with a 5 point lead in the next few weeks.

His campaign is filled with lies and this is what pulls him past Obama? Wow, just think how his presidency would be. After all, America should be tired of all the lies and secrecy of the current administration.

Wow that's a shock I thought Obama would be ahead. Oh well anything can "change" betwen now and election day. : )

It is difficult to trust the polls due to payoffs to people to support the Republicans.

I have read different responses to different topics on here, and the results are truly appauling....from both sides. United States my butt, this is definatly the Divided States. This year's election cannot be any simplier: If you have absolutely no problem with the last 8 years, if you have no qualms abou the gas prices or food prices, if you'e not about to lose your house or have no problem getting one, McCain/Palin is your team. If you wanna change things from what they currently are, Obama/biden is your team. Vote SMART and with your brain, not with your take on who can I go to the bar with. Thank you.

After this weekend, the polls will be in favor of Obama. McLiar/Paliar will keep the polls coming Obama way with all their everyday lies.

People, please remember that a poll with no sampling error is statistically meaningless. The error could be three percent, or ten percent, or one hundred percent–and there is no way to tell if the error wasn't estimated. Just because a number exists doesn't imply that the number means something.

The point I'm making is that differences of one or two percent are, as we've seen in the previous few days, expected and meaningless. A "poll of polls" changing a point up or down for either candidate is almost certain to be sampling error, whether it was McCain gaining a point or Obama gaining a point. It does NOT indicate any real change in the "actual" set of votes out there.

BO is no presidential material. He has a different set of American values, he uses words in stump speeches that my 6-yr says are bad ones, the way he laid flowers at ground zero seemed like he did not want to be there, and he lacks the experience as President in day one though ironically he keeps questioning that of someone who will be the second in command.

Andy, MI

Hopefully in a week, we'll be back to sanity.

By the way, the GOP has been enacting a three-part strategy:
1. make as many voters as possible low-info voters by not talking about any issues, 2. play the victim card when they can to manipulate emotions in these voters (ie the Palin pick), and 3. claim over and over again that the Dems don't get the Heartland

All of this is devious, cynical, and of course BS. Republicans are intolerant, greed-driven racists. Their leadership doesn't give a crap about America, only in profiteering from the privilege of power and government. It's so obvious: McCain's entire staff are lobbyists. I'm so sick of this. LOOK PAST THEIR LIES!

Obama / Biden 08 and 12

When I hear the international affairs' statements of John McCain and Sarah Palin and if somehow how they are elected as President and Vice- President of USA ; this world probably will face the Third World War. As a socio-political human being this is my feeling.

CNN, and all the other news affiliates have gone from bad to worse in their bias coverage of this election! Quite frankly, I am shocked that you can't just inform us without the spin you place on everything. Lou Dobbs and now Charlie Gibson have to be the worst with their pompas condescending attitudes, dripping in disdain!! They have seriously left so many of us ill ! The media is now like the bully on the playground

I am only one of many many people, who don't want this Country in the hands of Government. The more you put your liberal fascist progressive spin on this election, the more disgusted we Conservatives become. Oh, and yes, we are talking about it!

Sincerely, Fascism is OUT!

Democrats could have had a winner but they chose a loser yet again!!!!

If John McChange is really about change and reform then why his he running a status quo campign. When you talk change it must start with the campiagn. Obama is trying to change Washington by starting with change in the campiagn of getting rid of politics of the old . So were is your change John McChange. A man of his word does not go back on his promise to run a clean campiagn usless that's the only way he can get to Washington. So John McLair is running the dirtiest campaign in recent memory.

I feel sorry for the "GRUMPY" old man!!!!

From now till election day it will be DOWNHILL road for McFlipFlopping and Sarah PaliNOCCHIO.

It is truly amazing to see how dumb the American public has become. They voted in "C" student Bush. Now some of them want to put another fool in the White House, along with his new bimbo. What were these people doing the last eight years ? Hiding in Rove's cave.

The Hillary's supporters are going to vote for McCain_Palin. Was a big mistake of Obama
don't pick Hillary for VP.

Keep going Obama and the Dems had better step up their game or they are going to lose AGAIN. Why are we not going after McCain and I'm not speaking personally, I'm speaking about saying he's divorced from people's daily lives, how fumbled all over himself, the lies in his ads. COME ON ALREADY. This high-ground crap is working my nerves. I'm not saying be as low or lie, but what I am saying is dispell the lies quickly and point out their records. Go for the jugular.

I suppose your Headline should read "McCain is losing support as the real pitbull is being exposed!"

MCCain you have to move, and trails Obama in double digits...Your ticket
McCain_Palin is the BEST...the other must of the people won't vote for them.

In the GOP convention John Mccain said he is also for change. I wonder why he hasn´t talk about change all this time that he is a senator.He has been a senator for over 20years if i am not mistaking, and he hasn´t been able to effect a single change in America politics.Now he talk about change to deceive we voters and play on our intelligence.Shame on you Mccain, you are not an instrument of change but a lier. We don´t want liers like you and Bush any more .Shame on You Mccain and Shame on you Bush.
This Message was sign and approve by me Enomayo Augustine Califonia.

Once the polish and hype com off the Palin VP pick, America will elect the right candidate for this great Country.

Obama/ Biden '08

So basically, McCain is blowing it out! Again, what is this man going to do for America. I know the Evangelicals and all those other fossils at the convention were crazy about him and Caribou Barbie, but there are other people in this country and we want to know WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO FOR AMERICA!!!!

That is great news. Obama would ruin America if elected.

Focus on the issues! John McCain is the target!

Ignore the Palin distraction!

The more McCain -Palin are exposed the polls will change.

People are starting to see that MCain is out of touch with the 21st Century and Palin has no clue of what the world is really like outside of Wasilla.

I think these polls are rigged. Obama should be much further ahead of McCain.

A '"poll of polls" has no statistical significance. Because first of all, polls have different ways of sampling their populations. Some polls survey only registered voters, some only poll "likely" voters...whatever that means.

Also, the sampling size and demographics of the polls vary greatly. Some are rolling averages of daily polls of maybe 300-500 people. While others are single-day "snapshots" based on over 1000 people. Furthermore, because of the different ways polls go about polling their populations, the margin of error varies greatly: from about 2.5%-5.5%.

By averaging these polls, you aren't doing a qualified statistical analysis. In fact, instead of reducing sampling error or sampling bias, you might be compounding them, and thereby multiplying the margin of error!

If these polls are accurate, it shows that people are not paying attention and that McCains attacks and distractions have successfully covered up his lack of strategy to change things for the better in this country. He is not the same as BUSH, he is far worse. If he is voted in we will see.

National polls mean nothing. It's the electoral map that is the real gauge of what's going on. As in 2000, a candidate can loose the popular vote and still win the election. I would laugh if McCain won the popular vote and lost the election. The neo-cons would have a fit and start crying it doesn't reflect the will of the people, sound familiar.

when its all over obama should win this by 4%,because mccain cant get minority votes,he leads the white vote by 22% the biggest margin since reagan,but he still only leads by 1%,because the minority vote is keeping obama alive,but i dont think mccain can keep that big lead with the white voters,if obama closes that gap by 3%,he will win this walking away,if this was the 80s in mccain was leading the white vote by 22% he would win every damm state,thats how big the minority vote has gooten

has anyone else seen that McCain hasnt even gone over 2 points?

Obama-Biden 08

Mccain will win

The more Palin talks, the faster McCain will fall.

It is totally time for Obama to nuclear against theMcCain-Palin campagn. trying to be "above the fray" is not a winning strategy against the Rove-guided Republican antics, lies, and diversions. Democrats will have a hard time forgiving Obama if he loses this election if it is because he did not fight hard enough or even dirty enough against the obviously dirty tricks the Republicans always use.

Finally, the polls show what the american people want!

Well i am glad McCain lost a point in the polls and i hope the american people realize that the republicans are just the best at turning elections into non-issues. Riddle me this, wasn't President Bush that like-able guy that you could have a beer with and hang out. Look where that got us. Please, i hope we don't make that same mistake. Vote for real change and not more of the same.

OBAMA/BIDEN "08

I think obama is a disgrace to America. I see that he has his thugs in Alaska and subpoened Todd Palin and 12 aides. What does he think to accomplish? Why is he paying so much attention to the VP when he is running against McCain. He is running scared, which he should be. McCain is up in the polls, where he will stay. It's over obama so pack up and go back to chicago. Thank goodness for Sarah Palin. GO SARAH>

Soon, the absentee ballot will be in my mailbox and one thing is for sure – NO OBAMA, NO WAY, NO HOW.

As these polls go, people with cell phones are not polled most of those people are young people, something McCain has not connect with, and Obama

the fox poll should not be counted with their obvious bias for the GOP. for cnn to use fox polls, makes me question cnn's bias.

I still think Obama wins! aBd!

My faith in the American citizens is being restored, one point at a time.

If Sen. McCain really believe he is the agent of change that can change Washinton, why does he not start by removing all 7 to 8 of his campainge top aids with past or present links to Lobbists.

His running mate Sarah Palin is a scandal machine as reports from Alaska now show. If McCain were a man of honor and intergrity he should have demonstrated better jugdement and spared himself the humiliation waiting to happen.

He reminds me of formar Pres. Richard Nixon and the embarrasment of Watergate scandal. Look at all the lies. McSame id a crook and the media should say so loud and clear, now.

Well...well...well...46-44 McCain..I suggested on Anderson 360 3 months ago that the McCain ticket would win by 2 pts and here you go! Fact is experience & race HAVE determined this election.

Ah, the Palin bump is subsiding already. There is hope for America!

Polls mean nothing. We saw in the general election of 2000 how one candidate (Al Gore) can get a half-million more votes than the other candidate (George W. Bush) and still lose the election. Polls mean nothing.

Unless Obama tells Biden to step down from the VP selection and that he picks Hillary Clinton as his VP, Obama will NOT beat McCain in November.

The American people want to have a person that has the experience to lead our country and at present McCain is the only one that can.

McCain/Palin together have what is takes to win in November and become our next President and Vice President.

Obama made the fatal mistake of not choosing Hillary Clinton to be his VP, so that is why Obama has created his own failure to win for the Democrats, the White House back.

I am one of the Hillary Clinton supporters that is going to vote for McCain/Palin, to make sure that there is at least someone capable of running this country.

McCain/Palin 2008

Hillary Clinton 2012

These polls really mean absolutley nothing. It's not majority vote that wins the election for the president. If they wanted to be accurate they would have a poll for each state and based on that determine a favorite.

"The Poll of Polls does not have a sampling error."

I hope people realize that the reason this is the case is because they can't come up with one, not that it has no error. The "poll of polls" is about as statistically correct as an internet survey on a website. CNN, shame on you for continuing to post this. Why not post the individual poll results (along with sampling error)? Why does there have to be a clear "he's winning or she's winning"? This isn't a horse race, it's the future of our country, at least take it seriously!

other than briefly working for his father-in-law immediately after marrying cindy, what private sector job did mccain ever hold?

will mccain's experience in private sector qualify him to lead this country during these severe economic times?

I want to say something to the dems. How many houses does John Mccain own? What is it 6, 7, 8 now all of a sudden he owns 10 homes!!! Come on people who is telling the truth now? I think you people who are voting for Obama are lying to yourselves if you think he is going to do any better for you. He is making promises he is not going to be able to keep. He wants to give us stimulus payments one more time. How are we going to pay back the other stimulus payments? You think it's free money. Nothing in life is for free. You still have to pay even after you are dead. That is why we have life insurance. Wake up and smell the Maxwell House. Which is my favorite coffee by the way. I want to know why the government couldn't reserve oil and gas before all these hurricanes hit. Hmmmmm...... I wonder who is part of the congress it is the Dems right? They control majority of the congress and they have been since the Bush became president. You people are just mad because Mccain is finally on top and Sarah Palin actually knows what she is doing. I watched her intreview the other day and you know what? I didn't even know what the "Bush Doctrine", was so if any of you claim to know you are a bunch of cowardly liars too. You know Mccain and Palin have more experience than Biden and Obama put together. So now you guys want to attack their taxes and how much they make. I wish I made what Biden made in a year. I am a caretaker for my mother and she doesn't make nearly what he's made in a year and she is Retired Army. She should be making more than Biden and Obama put together. You people do not know unless you've been in someone elses shoes. Stop attacking the republicans. Obama played dirty on the anniversary of 911 saying he wouldn't attack mccain or palin that day. But he went ahead and did it anyway. He should ought to be ashamed of himself. When I saw them in New York at ground zero, Obama threw the flower at the memorial while Mccain and Cindy gently laid their flowers down. I don't trust anyone that doesn't have any kind of respect for the dead or their fellow Americans who lost their lives for no reason at all.

People wake up! We are better than this! Enough! We don't need another 4 yrs of bitter partisan divide, no solutions for our economy, no healthcare for our veterans when they return from this unjust war, and Americans losing their share of the American dream. This is not about skin color, but who has the better judgment to lead us into the future. Be very afraid if the Republicans win this election.

Who are they polling?

Its about time!

I've spoken to 100s of people, either they are voting Obama or not voting at all.

How are these polls done – because so far I only know of very few who are voting for McCain.

If America is reacting like I am to McCain's negative and attacking campaign, I can see why the poll numbers are starting to move back in Obama's direction.

McCain was a victim this sort of attack campaign in 2000 and 2004, and the fact that he would so quickly participate in the exact same type of negative campaign shows me that he is just doing what he thinks will make him win.

Unfortunately, in my eyes, all of his honor, integrity, and honesty are gone.

He has turned into another dirty, bend the truth, constantly campaigning politician.

I have no faith that he will be able to step out of the campaign and govern if he is elected.

The Democrats are right, McCain is turning into the exact same type of politician as George W. Bush.

The ignorance and apathy of women across America, especially white women who vote republican, is pathetic and so very sad.

To think that women have fought to come so far and with this election, should McCain and Palin win, they will have taken a GIGANTIC leap BACKWARDS.

For anyone who witnessed the Palin interviews, and the story done on her on ABC's 20/20 program, there should be NO DOUBT in ayone's mind, at least those that are able to think for themselves, that this woman could not be any more unprepared for either the 2nd most powerful position, and possibly the most powerful, in the country.

America is slowly becoming like a third-world country in their thinking. People who vote strictly party, even if they believe their candidatse are not best for the country or Americans, are pathetic.

For any women voting McCain-Palin in November, DO NOT say that you put your familes, your children or your COUNTRY FIRST. McCain and Palin have made COUNTRY FIRST no more than just words.

I don't believe any of these polls. The reason they're kept so close is because it's easer to steal a close election than it is to steal a landslide. I'm sure Diebold would agree.

if people are dumb enough to believe anything the repub. say . and they want more taxes more war more bush lies . then they will like mcpalin. people start watching the news and pay attention to how 3rd world countries act on t.v. because this is where the us is headed

This poll is so stupid....Poll of poll???? Give me a break....No matter who is ahead it doesn't matter...what matters is the state polls...

Good. Palin/GOP convention bounce is leveling out.

Maybe Mcains peeked?Who knows next week it'll be different.People need too look at the issues,I can't believe the Rest of the world is watching ALL this with the Negative adds and say YEA we want too be just like Them!!!

It just goes to show how stupid Americans are!!. After 8 years of George W Bush & his folly war in Iraq costing our country 10 billion per month & thousands of lives both American and Iraqi, people are actually considering another Republican Govt.

Do they really think anything will actually change???

I honestly believe that Barrack Obama will surprise us at the polls and we will welcome in a new era of political ethics and reform. Obama will give America back the respect of the rest of the world. He will implement changes to our ailing health system and he will get us out of this " war for oil" in Iraq. Obama will actually do something about Global Warming, by lowing green house gases- which is the greatest threat to our entire planet.

I think that this is the time for America to change the course of its history for Good. We need not to worry about the big propaganda generated by Sarah Palin but focus on how american people will come together to restore the economic and the country supremacy in the world. Yes we need to defend this country against any type of evil.
Eight years of negativity is enough. It will be a big mistake to let this country to republicans.

Ok, What points does McCain hold aginst his Party after he voted 90% times with his party and Bush? Can anybody guess that.?

Akay International

CNN polls?
You're clearly biased and you manipulate the results.
So this must McCain is up at least 10.

AMERICANS AND THE VOTERS IN THIS YEARS ELECTION ARE NOT SO BLIND THAT THEY FAIL TO NOTICE THE RELENTLESS ATTACKS ON GOVERNOR SARAH PALIN EVER SINCE BECAME
THE VP NOMINEE TO SENATOR MCCAIN.
1. FIRST THE ATTACKS (INCLUDING THE PERSONAL ON SARAH
2. THE ATTACKS ON HER DEVELOPMENTAL DEFECTS OF HER NEW BABY
3. THE ATTACKS ON HER 17 YEAR OLD PREGNANT TEEN.
4. .NOW THE ATTACKS ON HER HUSBAND TODD PALIN.
5. WE ARE JUST WAITING TO SEE IF THEY WILL ATTACK HER IRAQ BOUND SON TRACK PALIN.
6. THE DEMS SENT TEAMS (30 OR MORE PEOPLE) TO ALASKA
TO DIG UP ALL THEY CAN ON GOVERNOR PALIN . THEY ARE PUSHING THE PROBE ON THE FIRING OF A TROOPER WHO ADMITTED ON CAMERA OF AT LEAST THREE CAUSES FOR HIS DISMISSAL FROM THE STATE POLIC FORCE.

It is disturbing to see how the polls has been of mark by a big margin and often.
How can we believe the polls when they were all worng all throughout the primaries,
I think there is a undercurrent bias.
Up by 9 in one poll and down by 10 in onther poll. Sounds familiar?
Stop polling and report the standing of the candidates on issues...

Shame to all the pollers.

I think that this is the time for America to change the course of its history for Good. We need not to worry about the big propaganda generated by Sarah Palin but focus on how american people will come together to restore the economic and the country supremacy in the world. Yes we need to defend this country against any type of evil. But what we don't have to do is to play the tough policeman of the world.
Eight years of negativity is enough. It will be a big mistake to let this country to republicans. People voted for President Bush and his party in 2004 hoping that they were going to finish the war they have started;they failed to do so and now the country is in bad situation.
This election need to be about issues not about personality.
Let put America on the right track.
We can do it.

If McCain wins, I don't know what the believe anymore. I will have lost all faith in the morals of my country.

I constantly get on to post on these poll of polls. My comments, however, never get posted. Maybe it is because every time I try to point out any flaw in CNN's logic they get mad. Maybe it is because it doesn't take a genius to realize that "polls" don't mean anything and that a group of one thousand people or even then thousand people does not at represent the actual view of the entire population. I use the analogy of a bag of marbles. One thousand marbles. One hundred blue Nine hundred white. Now you draw one hundred marbles and you draw seventy five blue and twenty five white. That is not an accurate representation of the facts. Now it becomes even more complicated when you throw in the fact that if you poll one hundred people from Washington D.C. and one hundred people from texas you are going to end up with two totally different polls but if you average them together there is no margin of error? Sorry CNN you are wrong. Not just this poll but even the ones with Obama in the lead. You just have no idea...

We will win the election come November! OBAMA 08.

It is obvious that Obama is down in the polls, but I think it is a good sign toward victory. He will have to prove that he is strong and can be tough for bringing down the Clintons, the Bushes and the Carl Rove’s political machine!
We know that McCain is not the same as Bush, but what we also know that the McCain’s policies are the same as those of Bush.
Saying that McCain is right on the war is saying that he knows how to waste our tax money in a stupid war.
See you have the best wine at your left (democratic) hand you have poison on your right (republican) – choose which you will.

Did you notice that McCain coughs every time before he lies?

Since Mc Cain went in the lead I withdrew all my money from the stock market and ridirect my 401K into money market fund. You know why right. Let me tell you something during the 8y BABA I made $200000 in the stcok market lost half durring the bush administration.
I thank god that I was smart enough to pay off my house. My youger brother who finish school in 2002 is just working and paying bills no investements at all.

Guess who do you think my family going to vote for?

This is a temporary bump for McCain/Palin. As voters get to see Palins extreme views on issues @God, and War,even the Hockey moms will be driven away.

Yes, and the numbers will jockey back and forth for the foreseeable future. People haven't really focused on the issues yet–they're still focused on personalities. Once they focus on issues the numbers will part a bit more.

Who are these people they're polling? I'm tired of this, let's get to Nov 4 already and see who America really wants.

No matter what obama will win!
Obama08

it's so depressing , it makes me sick to think mccain is actually ahead. obama supporters, why is this happening????????????because he made a brillant move by choosing this woman that most men think is "hot" and too many women who really do not bother to do their homework. unfortunately, i think he's going to get away with it. God help us all.

Polls go up and down everyday but it is the electoral votes that count! As an Obama supporter, I am not worried at all. The democrats have learned from what happened to Gore and Kerry in elections of the past and are firing back ferociously at the mccain campaign- a campaigned that has been marked by unrelenting lies, deceit and irresponsibilty.
Obama08

Bill OReilly quote::
Bill OReilly quote::
I learned something about Obama.: that he's a sincere man and a tough guy. His policy is what he says it is. He's no phony. He's telling you: I'm going to set up a big government apparatus, I'm going to redistribute income and I'm going to use more soft power than hard power abroad. What he says is what he believes
Hands off . Go Obama.
.

Does anyone in America other than myself see this as a concern? "True Americans" – I'm talking about the person who gets up every morning to go to work, take care of their kids and pay their mortgage/taxes and try their hardest to keep food on the table – should be really concerned.

Wake Up America! The country has too many problems right now and as a "True American" I can only say – I don't "CARE" if your a war hero, a mom, a havard graduate, wear lipstick or have 25 houses – I want Change!!!!!!!!!! What can you for me and my fellow Neighbors/Brothers/ Sisters.

And the only CHANGE I see is getting the current Party we have in office and replacing them with a new one! That's It, Plain and Simple, Enough Said!!!! AMERICANS! Let's Change by not electing the SAME!

And to the Politicians – Especially the one I am voting for – STICK TO THE ISSUES! – Education, Immigration, Housing, War, and the issues that Relate to AMERICA! Our forefathers must be turning in their grave at the sight of how we vote and what is being used to get an American Vote.

Between Karl Rove and Sarah Palin, Obama is getting no sleep, looks terrible, and acts confused and disoriented.

Dennis Miller put it best the other night: :"Sarah Palin is so into Obama's head that he doesn't know whether to s- or wind his watch."

Obama was ahead for a year until now. The country is getting to know obama and don’t like him for what he stand for.

This is obvious. It will stay like that for the rest of the time. Lovely. See genius at work. A team of Mavericks. Anyway, poll of polls, BBC world wide polls, it is the people of America who vote. This week, we shall shake up the whole thing and leave them in trouble. Hillary, Bill, Biden, Obama,...hear that. Change is nigh!

It is a pity that John McCain seems not to understand that his time is over. He cries out for a chnage which he and Gov. Pallin do not understand. For 8 years, McCain has been a republican. Now he is against Republican party by telling them he wants a change. What change is he calling out for that he has not implemented for 8 years.
Please let somebody tell him that we want a real change and no more of Bush. I predict that within the next 21 days, Sara will quiet the race because a dreadful information will be released that it will do a lot of damage to McCain and his party which McCain is denying now.
Akay International

»McCain/Palin=The WINNERS! YES!

THE EPISODE ON THE VIEW OF THE FOUR GANGOF DEMOCRATS GANGING UP ON McCAIN WAS A TOTALLY JOK. THE IGNORANCE OF THESE WOMEN SHOWN PLAINLY THROUGH WITH JOY, WHOOPIE, SHERRIE AND WORST OF ALL BARBARA WALTERS VICIOUS ATTACK ON McCAIN. WHY DIDN'T THEY ASK OBAMA WHEN HE WAS ON ABOUT HIS MUSLIM CONNECTIONS AND HIS GOOD UNCLE REV. WRIGHT. NOT TO MENTION REZKO. OH KNOW THEY THEY GRINNED AND QUOTED WHAT A NICE FELLOW HE WAS. THE VIEW IS DISGUSTINGLY SICK. A NO WATCH FOR ANYONE WHO WANTS TO LEARN THE TRUTH. I WAS A BARBARA WALTERS FAN BUT AFTER ALL THAT HAS COME OUT ABOUT HER LIFE SHE IS NOTHING BUT A COMMON FLUZZY.

Blah, blah, blah. All that matters is the electoral count. Enough with the general election numbers. Who is winning in the swing states?

Polls, Polls, Polls!! Enough already. It is time for the networks to expose the truth. So far, we have seen at least 5 ads which are approved by McCain which are blatant lies. Dirty politics is all the GOP knows.

The 46% of people who are willing to sacrifice the country by voting for McCain are irrational, closed minded, ill informed. I keep hoping that they represent a minority but clearly there are more of these people than I realized in this country. I shouldn't be surprised given what happened in the last election.

I am hoping that this time, there is a silent rational, informed group out there that the polls haven't tapped and who will blow McCain and the GOP out of office.

If you love your country, you can't possibly back McCain and Palin. They are toxic and will take the country further into bankruptcy and wars.

People are inviting more trouble and perhaps couple of more wars for next four years.Are they blind ?

Good Work McCain/Palin

As a FORMER DEM – YOU now have my vote – and it seems that Millions of Americans feel the same way.

poll is highly irrelevant since it is manipulated to make it look a contest.

IT IS OBAMA/BIDEN BY MILES.

GOP And Karl Rove Type Politics Must DIE!

We've Know This For Years, The GOP LOVES TO DISTORT AND LIE.
There A Hateful Bunch Of Americans.

We Shouldn't Be That Surprise By There Behavior In This Campaign.

This Is What They Do.

Remember What Was Being Said During The Clinton / Obama Race.

"This Is Nothing (Attacks) , Wait Until The Republicans Get Hold Of Him" What A Sad Testimony

I love the polls; it serves as a reminder and a warning to people that are not ready to vote. The roof and the house will be on fire if they decide to stay at home November 4. We cannot afford the luxury of electing McCain. McCain will serve America better as an adviser not as a commander in chief. He is too old.

i think as an american if we elect mccain and palin we are doomed to repeat the same old bush prapaganda carried out the last eight years.
in my opion that would fatal and would hurt the country even more.
if people vote for these peaple and put them in theyll get there change
alright. no mcsame!!! no way!!! not ever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Here is my comment. First, the American people better wake up to the fact that we need real CHANGE in our country. Haven't most of us had enough...? Two Wars, the ecomomy stinks, and the Republican propoganda machine ihas to offer is, "Drill Baby Drill"? All do respect to John McCain, however We Do Not need George Bush The Third!

Veterans for Obama/Biden '08

Notice that Palin has NOW started wearing a flag pin. She was not wearing one in her address to the Separtist Party of Alasa.
It is only a matter of time before the GOP liars notice that Tod Palin searches lead to the Tesoro Iron Dog website (irondog.org).
At that point they will plaster it with American flags.
Check it now, before they do. You will NOT find one FLAG in their website NOR in any of the pictures of race starts, race finishes, Nor in the audience, NOR on Tod's helment or uniform.
They must be PROUD OF AMERICA FOR THE 1RST TIME IN THEIR LIVES! or NOT
The only political party Tod Palin ever belonged has 'hate the American flag' in its manifesto! He was signed onto that statement until 2002!!!!!!

The latest polls just goes to show it doesn't take intelligent people to run our country. It has all come down to the better image and not the best substance. What a shame that the American people are so naiive and blind to what is really happening here. Apparently we have learned nothing over the last eight years!! Obama can play by the rules, but it won't matter if he can't get elected. It's past time to play fire with fire.

every vote must count and be counted

I can't wait for the Obamabots who were on here talking smack when Obama was ahead in the polls to come back and post about how the polls don't mean anything.

How about Obama/Oprah....

The new polls shows what i was guessing all along. For many people this election is not about issues. Its all about gender !

Many don't care anymore what the candidates stand for !
8 years of Bush – not enough

The GOP uses scare tactic again and it works ( as in the last elections )

It becomes quite clear that McCain will win this election. His VP pick was very clever. Choosing a woman will give him the presidentcy. And thats what he wants in the first place ( ahh, of course he want to win the war – and many others, too ) All those PUMA's out there are pleased with that and we can just pray that nothing will happen to John McCain during his time in office. Otherwise we will end up with a PPP ( Puma President Palin )

That scares the s... out of me!

America is a great country with great people.
What i cannot understand is after 8 years of George W Bush many americans still have not enough.

I still hope for a change ( suddenly even Mc Cain want that )
But i still think that Obama will be the better choice !

Guido ( and Yes!, i am not american – but still love the US )

NICE TRY

HERE ARE THE REAL FACTS....MOST UNBIASED POLLS HAVE MCCAIN UP ANYWHERE BETWEEN 3-5%.......MOST UNBIASED POLLS HAVE MCAIN AHEAD IN ELECTORAL VOTES......SEVERAL BLUE SATES ARE READY TO TURN RED

OBSERVATION:

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE MEDIA.....MSNBC AND NBC ARE DIVING................ABC NEWS GETTING BASHED FOR CHARLIE GIBSON....OPRAH...AND THE VIEW...

ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE WITH YOUR NO BIAS NO BULL CLAIM??????????????????????????
LET'S SEE IF YOU HAVE GUTS TO PRINT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF YOU DO ....I GIVE YOU PROPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Lee Atwater trained Karl ORve who trained Steve Schmidt in republican smear tactics. REmember the first Bush and Reagan campaigns? Now McCain has them in his dirty vicious campaigns. DEcent and good Americans won't fall for it this time.

Obama-Biden 2008

To all you cocky wacko worshippers...the race is not over. Put your fat ladies backstage and wait for November 4th.

The Media is finally calling the McCain ads what they are, lies calculated to play on the basest emotions of the American Voters. The sad truth is that there are many American Voters that don’t care if they are lies or not.

The Republican Base certainly doesn’t care. They revel in the Lies. After all its not about the future of our Country it is about winning. Certainly the fact that McCain “approves” of this ad strategy tells us something about his ethical and moral code. He admitted his 2000 Campaign was about ambition not serving the Country and he is proving this Campaign is all about winning. Country first, what a joke.

What disappoints me is that many American Voters are either gullible enough to believe these lies or they don’t care about the future of this Country. This baffles me since they are voting for more of the same. Perhaps they want what they know because they are afraid of change. It appears the younger voters are willing to commit to change and to make the sacrifices necessary to
Make the changes we need. The question is, are there enough of them to effect this election?

This is the Election that will not only determine that fate of the U.S.A., it could very well determine the fate of the World. Perhaps we have wandered so far away from a Government for the People and by the People that we are scared of the challenge. Be careful who you vote for, committing Electoral Suicide is one way to die with a whimper.

This is not my father's Republican Party. Over the past decade the Republican party has sunk to the lows of Tamany Hall and Boss Twead of a century ago in New York ("The Gangs of New York")

Republicans, Ohio, New Hampshire, and the swing states have a decision to make: Is this the kind of govenment you REALLY want? Is the politics of lies and hatefulness – and America was con'd and lied to by the Bush administration make no mistake about it – the kind of government you want?

This is the most disgraceful Republican Campaign I have seen in a generation and John McCain is at the bottom of the latest evil seed from the shameless Republican party.

Don't vote for Barack Obama... Vote DEMOCRAT across the board to give America a break for at least four years from these Republicans.

Perhaps some time in the dunce's corner will give them time to reflect.

Obamabots-tune in Tues. & Wed. to see Sarah Palin interviewed by Sean Hannity on Fox.

We know you secretly dig her and can't get enough. We understand.
Maybe you should meet your buddy for a beer so your wife won't know.

By the way, keep up your Google searches for Sarah Palin photos-you are breaking all search engine records-

Sarah Palin 12 & 16'

Fox news, haha! Rightwing nut house. If a third of this poll is fox news and Obama is only one point behind, we have nothing to worry about!

Obama/biden 08 - 12

Weel im just so ashamed of America right now. we have a chance to vote in a man who will bring about change and help this country yet people are still voting for McCain, why do you do that, just because he has expieriance, it has been proven that leaders without expeirance do better then those who have it. Reagan had no expeirance, Clinton had no expieriance, JFK had no expieriance, these were all great presidents, bush and bush had expieriance they sure were great. ya right. Obama is the right guy and im ashamed to call myslef american if McCain wins. Obama/Biden 08

We're getting back. By end of the months Obama will be ahead 5 points and cruise to victory in November. There are simply not enough dumb voters in this nation that you can fool THREE times in a row!

That's liable to change and Obama be in the lead again after all of the mudslinging that McCain is doing. Not many people approve of his distortion of the truth.

I am not an American but this election has many people around the world concerned and a small minority happy. The happy minority wants McCain to win because they hate America and want to be able to justify their hate. This will be easy when the future President and Vice President represent a scary and bullish war agenda. These guys want to see America fall, believe me when i tell you how much America is seen (around the world) to be bullies, liars, racists and basically every nasty thing out there. The concerned group wants Obama to win because they see that the world is at a cross road, the world is at a point where it is capable of either healing or completely destroying itself. I pray that Americans are able to move away from racism in this election and see what many around the world see, this is a clear decision to the rest of us. This is the last chance to get things right, we will not be welcoming you to our shores when you have problems there in the future. I hope you consider your future which is linked to ours, how can you let someone talk stupidly about more war. I think you need to know that God gave America greatness but like it came it will be taken away. MAKE THE RIGHT CHOICE, DON´T START CRYING A YEAR FROM NOW.

Polls change hour by hour, day by day and mean absolutely nothing. In all the polls taken, no one I know has been called. And have we taken into account the number of people who only have cell phones and no land lines? We'll get our answer on November 4th and it will be Obama/Biden.

Na na naaaa na.......na na naaaa na....hey hey hey....goodbye!

Obama is done. Ladies and gentlemen, your next President.....John McCain!

CNN, do you realize how ridiculous this 'Poll of Polls' makes you seem??? Just yesterday you ran one of these saying McCain was up by 2. 24 hours later, he's up by 1. Is this a countdown or something? Give me a break. These are so unreliable.

well it really means McCaine is up by 10 points.liberal media polls have to be taken with a grain of salt.Its over .lanslide for McCain.the more you attack palin for bull@#$ that absolutly noone cares about like on the view the more the polls swing for McCain.ill take whether or not palin took earmarks over obamas support for domestic terrorism and islam any day baby.this is america and you american hating socialist are about to be shown the door.Hugo Chavez is calling for you obama,he needs your help.we in middle america dont really care about what the world thinks of us,as far as we are concrened the less they like us the better.it means we are doing somethin right.the hate i hear from you libs tell me you know the game is up.we are gonna take back 1 or both houses also.nothing you can do about it .nothing.the hate we feel towards you crybaby,entitlement,taxraising,muslim loving,dim witted socialists is the equal of you hating your country.god bless america ,that right god bless america.dont worry libs when Mcain wins it will mean that we wont have to take back our government by force,you cowards.dont worry we wont hurt you now.but i promise you ,if you libs ever throw a candidate like this out there again we will hurt you.bye bye you snot nose college punks.

One more thing! This poll includes that fox. Fox is watched only by die-hard neo-cons. So I bet if you take Fox out, Obama is leading by a substantial margin.

Will we, as the American people, ever tire of the "smears?" Issues, people...Issues! Why are we reverting back to 200/2004 when it was all about twisting the truth, lies, smears, sound bytes, and cynicism? There was hope in this election...we need to find it again... We don't need to be voting again with our fears and smears and anger.

Come November, the American people will decide whether they are stupid or concerned. They will show the rest of the world whether they are fooled by the falsehood of John McCain and Sarah Palin or are really concerned about the poor state of their economy and national security. Obama-Biden will come out victorious and America will be restored to its original state. WAKE UP AMERICA. IT IS ENOUGH!!!!!!!

Wow if get ahead in the polls for a few days and its new like evey day...come off it we all know that when McCain is seen for the fraud that he is in needing to pander to win the white house.

WAKE UP AMERICA! HOW A MAN RUNS HIS CAMPAIGN IS AN INDICATION OF HOW HE WILL RUN HIS PRESIDENCY. WE HAVE ALREADY HAD 8 YEARS OF A LIAR PUNK, WE DON'T NEED FOUR YEARS OF A LIAR BULLY.

OBAMA 08!

I am speechless! It seems the GOP is once again successfully manipulating the majority of Americans. Haven't we had ENOUGH?

I was shocked when Bush won in 2004. I couldn't believe my eyes...and now, here I am again...in total disbelief! Well, when the country finds itself in WAR with the rest of the world...I will say, "we got was we deserved"

That being said, I still have faith in the path of GOOD and will keep fighting and marching on until November 4th.

Obama/Biden 2008

Everyone step back and breathe Obama will be our next President!!!!

Yepper and when clinton supporters vote for McCain, while shouting Hilliary 2012, If Hilliary gets to run in 2012 she won't win, because why?? She does not have Presidential Experience!!!!!!!!!! But the inexperience Paliin will have it over her...........due to stupidity to vote for McCain............way to go PUMA and so called Dems now turned Republican!!!!!! Or did that ever cross your minds??????????

This is absolutely stupid! IF the people of this country allow themselves to be "tricked" again there is no hope for this country! We can NOT afford more of the same, we can NOT afford "on the job training" for palin in this time of war(S) and strife! We can NOT allow them to get away with the politics of karl rove and the fact that mccain has sold his integrity because he wants to win at all costs, he wants to win at the expense of this country that he professes to love! On an almost hourly basis he is being called out for the constant lies he and his sidekick are perpetuating and yet somehow he is still 1 or 2 points ahead! Is this country STUPID?! They believe if they repeat the lies enough people will fall for it like they did in 2000 and 2004 and I sincerely hope they are wrong, I hope this country is smart enough not to fall for it a "third" time!

Voters will vote out of fear or they will vote for the possibility of productive change. The Repubs seem to be about maintaining the status quo. The Dems seems to be searhing for solutions to a variety social and security problems. Maintaining the status quo seems to represent no change for FEAR any change may cause more problems. The search for solutions requires the courage to try something different.

Why would anyone wish to remain fearful especially when they can do nothing about the obstacles controled by the status quo except vote for change. Ignorance?

Maccain's lead on polls is just temporary, Obama will soon erase his lead when the dust settles. Americans are not comfortable with Sarah Palin vp pick. She scares a hell out many people. She is very much the same with Bush's economy and national security policy.

John McCain's Poll numbers are slipping....

John McCain poll numbers are slipping because people saw Sarah Palin on TV and she said nothing....NOTHING.....NOTHING about the economy, health care, the housing problems.... that was not a good interview.

Watch if Sarah Palin refuses to do anymore Real interviews we will know she is not ready. Put Palin on the View if she is ready. Charlie Gibson vetted her more than John McCain.

What the HELL does John McCain and Sarah Palin think we are stupid this year....They have NO PLANS. Oh yea they have the failed Bush Plans....This is not change,that is McSame

John McCain lobbiest raised Gas Prices over night to scare us. John McCain is already caging in WI,OH, MI. John McCain could not stand up to the women on the view. John McCain uses women to get into the White House. John McCain is not ready to be President. I would vote for Palin after she gets some expreince.....But right now we need the right team in Washington.

Obama/Biden 08

At the end, Obama will be winning. After all, we do not want to be called "My Friends" for four years.

Obama/Biden 08

We're behind Sarah Palin--we can relate to her-but we can't relate to a racist snob like Michelle Obama.

By the way, WHERE IS MICHELLE OBAMA? Did they take her off the air because they know we strongly dislike her? Something funny going on here. Cindy McCain is right out front.

I can't believe I supported McCain in 2000. He has really sold his integrity to pander to the conservative base. I had thought he might be someone who could begin to get the republican party back on the right track, but this is not the case. The last eight years has proven to me that the promise of a long awaited republican controlled federal government was an utter failure, and McCain isn't even attempting to put out any real policy ideas. Moderate republicans have good positions on the economy and foreign policy, but these positions now appear to be more consistent with some of Obama's positions than they are with any of McCain's.

It's about time! People finally looking beyond the surface of the campaigns and instead focusing on the candidates themselves. I'm excited to see this turn of tide. McCain-Palin all the way!

I'm so proud of the character, honesty, moral values, integrity and judgement that Barack Obama/Joe Biden have.

Obama/Biden care about the American People. They care about your jobs, health care, the economy, the housing crisis and they will bring this war to an end with great judgement and bring our military home.

They don't need to tell lies, use one liner's, and false ads. Obama,/Biden tell the truth even if it's not what you want to hear.

Barack Obama is be one of America's greatest Presidents.

WOW! Palin's "FIRST and ONLY" interview sent Mccain a "falin" 3 pts! Guess the novelty is finally wearing off Ms. Moose Burgers! After her stunning answers to the foreign policy questions from ABC's Charlie Gibson the VP debates going to be a cake walk for Biden!!

Obama/Biden 08!

McSame and his wacko Palin are going down the drain with all their lies. Their post convention bounce is over. We still have 4 debates coming that will expose their ignorance on the issues. Remember how Bush/Cheney WMD lies got us in the mess we are today.

Bush=McSame

So it is down from two point. Apparently the celebrity effect of Miss Congeniality is wearing off. Pretty soon, the harsh realities would be biting voters and they would ask themselves, "Can I afford another 4 years of likeable folks George Bush?"

Hopefully will people view Palin for what she really is. A very dangerous choice for the USA and the rest of the world. I think John McCain is a capable person (although turned too much conservative), but his VP choice is playing russian roulette. But I am afraid that in the end John McCain will win, cause the wrapping means more to the people then the content.

Swingin' back!

Obama 08

Too bad the Poll of Polls doesn't take into account all of the cell-phone only households. The majority of them being young people and college students who support Sen. Obama. If that were the case Sen. Obama would be up 5 to 10 points.

God help us, one and all, as Tiny TIm says in DIckens' Christmas Carol.
It is sad that Obama's appeal to Americans' better natures and to an America that can regain moral leadership in the world is lost in the shrill lies and smears of the McCain/Palin campaign.

The devil wears Prada.....in this case the pinstripe.

its just another poll But the question I have is, Is america waking up? are the dems playing to much with Palin, John is the one going for President but all you worry about Palin the #2 and it is all because you think McCain is going to die in office because hes old. Obama could die in office also and Id be alittle worried about any of the VP choices. the contest is about McCaine and Obama.....we should all remember that. anyone could die any moment thats just life. the race is about the 2 in front of the ticket.
Whith that I would like to ad funny how the Change ret. has changed and obama is now saying to McCaine all the things people say about him the last 1.5yrs.

McCain won't hold that lead for long. All that's been coming out of his mouth lately is half-truths or straight up lies. Come on people, do we really want another liar in the top office?

Obama will loose in november not because of lack of policies or poor campaigning but because of the 'colour of his skin' .It is so sad that there is still so much racism in America to an extend that a presidential election's outcome can be decided majorly by it.I reckon after this race relations in America will be negatively affected for many years to come

Does anyone fine it strange the language that is always used whenever Obama is leading in the polls and then when McCain is leading? Example: Obama has a slighted 3 point lead over McCain. And then this: McCain holds one point lead over Obama.

By the end of this month Obama will be leading by atleast 5 points and Obama will win handily the Presidential elections, the bounce for McCain is temporarily, it will be diminished. What the Americans must think is the change they need not another four more years for the Republicans. Do any Americans can think of Palin to run USA, if needed. She is good to run as a governor nothing else.

I was just wondering if The View has ever grilled Obama on what he means by "Change".

I can't believe the American people are buying into McCain and Palin lies. People of American watch, listen, read and ask questions. Don't be taken into those ads that McCain is running against Obama. Why donj't Mccain run Ads on his Policies. That is what you all should want to see. He knows he cannot win on his polices because they are the same as George Bush's so he is running adds that are all lies about Obama's policies. He knows that the people in small towns don't have time to listen to Obama's messages on his policies so he is running these misleading ads because he kwows they will see them.. McCain has lost the respect of
American and the World. He will not win. The American people will see through all hislies and they will turn against him. Obama is the man lead out American out of debt, out of the war, the bring the economy around, the unite the people, white, blacks, latinos, spanish, chinesse, indians alll people. McCain and Sarah just want the POWER. McCain is wealthy. He thinks if you are poor that where you should stay. MCain is giving tax break the Rich. Hello, Obama is giving tax break to the Poor. People of
American wake up... wakep. Mccain is WORSE than Bush... Obama is your only HOPE> and hte HOPE of the World. Please spread the message around and vote for Obama for your Country, your children, your grandchildren. If not, we welcome America to the third World.

Polls shmoles! No McWar and War Mom! OBAMA/BIDEN for change.

whatever!!!, these polls are ridiculous, why do you bother?
up 1 point today and down 4 tomorrow, are you telling us the whole 1200 people you poll are a fair and equitable representation of the MILLIONS of voters who will be at the polls Nov 4th?
You guys are nuts!

How can you claim there is no sampling error? Your "poll of polls" is founded squarely on polls that DO have a sampling error. Ergo, the sampling error in those polls is inherent in your poll of polls. This is math, statistics, not politics.

Go, McCain!, increase your lead by 20 points by end of Sep. Send that empty suit Obama back to the alleys of Chicago where he came from.

Don't worry the lies of McCain and Palin will soon be all revealed.

John McCain may look like he is ahead but he is not. He did not vet his VP. He tells lies to the people. He fabricates stories. The people are not stupid and if you got the news media seeing it, what do you think about the people. A person that lie to win, will lie to the people. Same ole Bush stuff. I hope people do not commit suicide because they dont want to chose a black man, even as it shows he has their best interest.

That would be very stupid......very.........

This is a shame.... DON'T VOTE MCWAR!!!... THE IRAQI'S ARE WATCHING, THE RUSSIANS ARE WATCHING, THE IRANNIANS ARE WATCHING... PLEASE, PLEASE DON'T VOTE MCWAR... PLEASE.

WE NEED WORLD PEACE. NO HOW, NO WAY, NO MCWAR...

Polls mean nothing like is said before. The media is making a big deal about. It will swing back in forth before Election day. The electoral college is what matters. McCain's bounce will wither like Obama's small bounce. It is still the Democrats election to lose.

I think if McCain,72, wanted a religious person on the ticket (Sarah Palin) he should of went with Governor Huckabee, who is an evangelical scholar.

In my view, Mrs. Palin's current family crisis (pregnant daughter, new born baby) is sure to have a psycholgical impact on the Governor and her family.

Hopefully, McCain72, will retire now.

»HURRAH for the great man John McCain!...HURRAH for the lovely Sarah Palin!...The ROAD to VICTORY is HERE! Yes.

Well it seems the American people are as dumb as the Republicans think they are. Repubs put out lie after lie and Americans are too dumb to realize it. By the way, the MEDIA is PATHETIC in their attempt to cover this election. No on is attempting to question McCain like Barbara Walters did and should. No one is trying to question Palin because if they go after her it will be sexist. Someone needs to grow some balls and get out there and ask this woman some tough questions because she could be our next president!!!!

»Governor Sarah Palin is WONDERFUL!...This lovely,smart,capable,sweet Lady is the next Vice-President. Yes.

Sarah wearing off.

Obama/Biden '08
Clinton/Sebelius '16

Obama must be ahead from Mcain.
Whole world wants Obama should be a next prasident of America. we love him he is young and wants change.

Americans you are idoits.if you vote for that thing called john mcCain,it will just prove that you are still a racist country.

»The GREAT John McCain is the...MAN.

what do these polls mean anyhow, and why are they so important. obama is still ahead in the electoral map so how do these polls reflect how ppl are going to vote in november?

I don't really see much credit in these polls although I do like to see McCain/Palin up but by only 1 point seems a little low to me. Do I think they will win in Nov. yes by a large margin. Why, they are America where Obama is SF, NY and LA but not America. BHO seems to think that moveon.org and code pink is what most Americans think but he is really wrong there. So guess we will have to wait for Nov. 4 and see who really is the one but if history tells you anything its good bye to BHO and hello to McCain/Palin. And to those of you who says Palin does not have the experience lets see she is going for the VP and has about 10 year of execitive experience. BHO is going for the top job and has what 0 years of exective experience, Ok who do you think has more experience for the job they are running for. You don't have to have a high IQ to figure this one out I hope.

Ah, the American public (well half of them), so stupid.

I don't believe the polls. Many Obama supporters (like me) only have cell phones. Not to mention they do these polls from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM. That is when most of the people at home are either retired or or umemployed. We need to stop worrying about polls and get out in our communities and volunteer so we don't have to live 4 more years of bush policies.
Anyone who thinks Sara Palin is different than Dick Chaney just go to youtube and watch her ABC interview. Youll change your mind. She's very very scary. Mcain/Palin= MORE LIES MORE WAR!!!!!!

Teamsters for Obama

No one in their right mind can vote for the republican ticket. The whole campaign is going to have to continue to lie and distort. Their polices are the same as George Bush. If something happens to Johns health we end up with a hockey mom running the country. God help us.

Obama leads the electoral map. That's all that matters. Again, cell phone users who can't be contacted for polls are mostly with Obama. These polls are inaccurate.

so, we know we are wininig, let him lead now but wait 4 fire in oct, and nov. long last obama

the problem i see in this election is obama talking about what is going to do for his great contry mccain and his girl friend talk about negative things and people believe time palin lick are lips every second like she want to suck on something, i kown mcCain need a hug because that all he been geting from palin seen she join his camp

why does it have to be so close!!! AHHH THE ANXIETY!

The Polls are misleading! If they are indeed true and Americans vote in a McCain – Palin ticket, then the country will get the leaders it deserves. Good luck with that. If Obama were white it would have been a slam dunk! America choose carefully....!!!!!

No he isnt. You're forgetting the millions of voters who don't have a lan-line phone. the republican party is being set up for such a disappointment in November. This race isn't even close. Nice try, pollsters.

McCain's ad says he's reformed Washington? How? And if that's true, why does he want change?
And in Palin's "impressive" speech at the convention there were several downright lies: the executive jet was never sold on EBay, she DID support the bridge to nowhere until it was killed in Congress, and although she removed the executive chef he was given another state job, so she didn't save the state anything. If she lies about these little things, how can we trust her with the big issues? McCain's choice of VP is an indication of his intelligence and concern for our country. Country First? I don't think so.

These polls are going to fluctuate back and forth until we get a clearer grasp of each candidate. The debates are going to be pivotal. There isn't much play in the support of the candidates. Their positions are mostly on opposite ends of the spectrum. The media and public are fascinated with Governor Palin now because she is an unknown, has also had a meteoric rise like Senator Obama and is the first woman on the GOP ticket. Obama has received intense media scrutiny because of his groundbreaking candidacy and Palin will receive the same. The difference is that Palin's scrutiny is coming very close to election time and whichever side is successful in defining her is going to have a huge advantage.

So McCain's convention bounce is finally starting to fade and the polls are leveling out again. I believe his highest lead during the post-convention period was 4 points, whereas Obama's highest post-convention lead was 6 points. So to me, Obama still has the advantage, albeit narrow. So, lets see how the debates go (but if the debates focus on the issues, I don't see this changing much).

Who wants to elect a reckless president?

He was told to fly his Goverment fighter plane at certain altitude.
He disobeyed orders and got shot down.
He was told to bahave in the Naval Academy.
He disobey orders and he didn't get expelled because of his
high ranking Dad. Lots of things should have been prevented if
he had been spelled from the Navy academy.

How can you placed a multi million tax payer dollars in the hand of
a sailor who gratuated 5th from the botton of over 600 graduates?

Dad can do amazing things!!

Are you ready to put our beloved country in the hands of a reckless individual? I don't think so. At least Dad is not around at this time in history or is he?

Nowadays Reckless has another name, Maverick.

God bless the USA!!

THE INDEPENDENT!!

Where is Sen. McCain's pin. Oh my goodness, maybe he's not patriotic after all!!

How much faith can anyone put in these polls when there have been accusations that the oversampling of Republicans is skewing the results? If there is no validity to the sampling, then there is no validity to the results. The Fourth Estate has been destroyed and the media has become an adjunct branch of the Republican Party.

It leaves me speechless just how ill-informed half this country is. The McCain campaign is offering NO ideas... they just mock Obama left and right and use the same Karl Rove smear tactics and then use phony outrage when the Obama camp offers any kind of criticism of Governor Palin. I mean, Obama and Biden are not saints... but it is terrifying that people are going to vote for a senile old mad and hockey mom because they like their personalities more.

Once people realize Palin and McCain are lying through their teeth, the glamor of Palin will fade and the truth will finally come out.

No More Bush Clones!

It seems to me that the nation is looking at the Sarah palin thing as if we are looking for a 'SuperMom' who will whisk in and clean house, wipe away tears change diaper and solve all household finances. That will not happen. Let us not forget that this woman is married to a man involved with "BIG OIL", let us not forget that she herself is also on a comission promoting oil production. We are in a near crisis with the prices of oil and political terms seem to completely ignore the fact that in November those who will be arriving to vote will be using there own gas to get there. This is the big issue right now and we won't go down quitely after paying $80 for gas when during the Clinton era we paid $30.
I am confused with the issue of who is Palin. I have no idea why she is the selection of Sen. McCain but it looks more like a fighting gasp for air than a ligitimate decision made. She has qualifications for sure but it is Alaska that bothers my ablillity to accept that there is a reason to put her in the Whitehouse.
What, besides oil the we cannot seem to use, do Alaska mean to the bulk of the country. What great contributions has this state made for us?
I am not sure that I am confident in the experience of Obama or Biden buit I do not feel that voting for 'SuperMom' is the answer. John McCain once had my complete attention. But I have to question his competence now with this selection for VP. I think it was made to counter the loss of minority votes Obama is certian to receive.
Really good woman but really bad choice John.

Stop running popularity polls on candidates, since nobody knows what they really mean,,,. Instead, ask people about their preferences in policies that are put forward by candidates on Education, Terrorism, Healthcare, Economy, Energy, etc, etc...What are we waiting for to start a real political debate on these issues...We are not voting for the next American Idol...Wake up everybody...

When are McCain and Palin going to release their tax returns for the last 10 years?

The bloom is off the Obama rose...In three weeks from now the gap in polls will be 9 points in McCains favor. Mark my word !
Why the Dems could not see the obvious from the start ? The guy could be a bartender or something. Running for a president? You re kidding me.

Yesterday he was two points ahead. . . . what's happening to your lead old man???? I don't trust the polls anyway, they don't count new voters or call cell phones. . . . . . I wonder who REALLY has the lead??

Obama/Biden '08

If America is foolish enough to elect this liar, McCain, in the wake of the other liar, Bush, and all the damage he caused us, well, you'll deserve the pain you'll get. I think we are smarter than this, please, prove me right.

Its hard for me to believe that someone like Palin has made this difference. I mean this is a woman that said she believed rape victims should pay for their own medical tests; this is not a person to vote for if you believe in women's rights. Why is no one covering these things about her when they harp on other things?

Keep the change Obama!

America needs a real President.

McCain/Palin 08

Suddenly senator McCain wants to change America, his party has been in power for eight years and we see no change!

McSame doesn't want to change America, he wants to SHORT CHANGE America!!!!

PS- Palin is an idiot! Did you SEE her interview??? LAME! Its a slap in the face for us women to put someone in that position who is below par!

It is well-known that polls are used to skew public opinion. If they demonstrate that one candidate is doing better than the other, then all of a sudden more people will start to vote for that person. In addition, the questions asked can also skew opinion. What questions were asked in the poll? You never hear that side of the story. Likely it was a simple, "Would you prefer John McCain more than Obama," or ",Would you prefer Obama more than McCain," when in reality many people just don't care or don't know enough to decide anything.

Not for long! Palin will soon be revealed as the corrupt politician she is for abusing her power as Governor in Alaska, and McCain will show his true colors and America will see him for the pig he really is.

WHY are people making the SAME stupid mistake they did when Bush was running??? What is wrong with this country! I DO NOT want an uncultured, uneducated, lacking in every field of intellect like PALIN running this country! FOR GOD's SAKE PEOPLE....VOTE OBAMA/BIDEN!

McCains lead is never going to last. Wait until all the dirt comes out about Palin, better yet wait until the debates between Palin and Biden.

He is going to make her look like a high school kid.

Obama/Biden 08

Wonder what this whole media bias is all about then just look at realclear politics polling numbers for the general election race.

17 out of 20 polls are showing Mccain ahead except for 3. And what are the 3 polls? Newsweek, CNN and NBC.........hmmmm, imagine that. You think its a coincident that 3 of Obama's biggest Media supporter news organizations just happened to have Obama tie or on top while 90% of all other polls have Mccain on top? Well, I guess it is the same sort of coincident that put Obama not in church each and every single time Wright preached hatred for America in a period of 20 years.

I would like to say that we the American people are smarter than what populist news media such as CNN think we are. As a result we would never elect two triger happy as our President and Vice-President (McCain and Palin) in this dangerous moment of our history.
We would like to restore our moral standing in the world which is the best way to fight evil. The world is once again looking up to us, I strongly believe that only by voting OBAMA-BIDEN we can restore our might and save our country from economic desaster which is a far greater national security concern than even terrorism. This because economic desaster as you all know could mean the end of the US as it is today with unimaginable consequence around the world.

I cannot believe that these polls are accurate.

Only when elections are close can then be stolen – didn't we already see this show 8 years ago?

Only when elections are close can they be stolen – much as we witnessed 8 year ago, You're being manipulated. Hope you see that. Hey, it worked at least once, maybe the Supreme court will put McWare and his Nazi pig in power and the Repugs can retain control.

Are you better off now than 8 years ago?

HAHA, another 4 years. You Americans deserve everything you get for falling for this all over again.

Well, we could have seen it coming, Obama's momentum is slipping away. I can't understand why Americans are rewarding the Republican party with another term in the White House, after eight truly dreadful years, but than again, I'm a European......

Arthur, from the Netherlands

Barry,

I have asbestos in my basement... please remove it.... this is why you joined goverment isnt it?.... my bet you have never removed any asbestos....

loser

Im elderly and white,I hear the women at the parlor,and there are many closet racists looking for any reason not to vote for Obama and they say their white husbands are even worse and will never vote for him even if John McCain were found out to be a communist.Please post this CNN, its the truth and needs to be told.

These polls don't include the young vote!! Obama will win!!

The Recent Polls: Now thats change I can believe in.... go home barry... you can go back to your old job as a community organizer... ya know since you accomplished soooo much!

This is not a surprise anymore. Hillary democrats are coming in the poll now. It is better for Sen. Hillary Supporters to cross party line and take a chance for 4 years of John McCain. This way there is a possibility to see Sen. Hillary as president in 2012.

I'm so glad to see McCain's bounce toning back down. It looks like the bloom is quickly fading from the false rose that caused his bounce. McCain's campaign has been so full of lies, smears and distortions. If we can't trust him to run an honest campaign, how could anyone vote for him to be our leader?!?! Obama is the only one who has run a campaign that's generally positive and has integrity. McCain has shown an appalling lack of integrity and willingness to go to the low road. His campaign has just been a string of lies and distorted spinning for a long tme now – and that's not what I'm looking for in a leader.

How about a poll that is not republican heavy....

All these are media fabricated spin. The election is not tied, Obama will win pretty handily. I have seen first hand their ground work. the old Mccain is no matched up.
Obama/biden 08

Bombs away and goodbye Roe v Wade!

McPalin08

I really think that Obama will win the election. The Republicans have put us in a hole in the last 8 years. The only reason that Mccain's up is because of Palin and his convention bounce. I think Obama should be ahead by far. We just can't afford 4 more years of Republicans. I hope the polls go in Obama's favor soon.

How can anyone believe that either McCain or Palin can be anything more than mere puppets of the Republican Party? We have already seen McCain change his stance on the issue of immigration (he was liberal, standing side by side with Ted Kennedy – now he is fitting into the Republican mold – the middle ground stance also held by Obama) and recently voted against providing war veterans with more benefits, true a la Republican. More of the same will ensue if he is elected – the extreme right will maintain control – unfettered, short-term corporate interests, which have dominated over the last 8 years and which have left this Country in the mess it's in now. If Palin becomes president, she will likely appointment Judges who will enforce the extreme religious groups' control over women's bodies, to keep the stall-hard extreme right ecstatic. The unfettered borrowing from foreign countries will continue and cause severe hardship for our children and grand-children. The current selling off of banks and other financial institutions to countries which are not true friends of the USA, could set us up for even more chaos than we are currently experiencing, should they decide to dump their financial support to quell any U.S. challenge in the political field. The complete incompetence and croneyism demonstrated by the Republicans in the Bush-puppet Junior era will continue. And we should think either McCain or Palin can change this even if they wanted to, with the force of the Republican administration in place? Dealing with Croneyism in the small state of Alaska is not the same as dealing with a powerful, nation-wide political bohemeth with a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. Palin’s Karl Rove-esque speeches already highlight who pulls the strings. The only way to save this Country is to vote for the Democrats.

Dear John and Sarah,

I fear you've expended so many of your very best brazen lies so early in the campaign. You should have remembered how I nailed you with having fathered a black child to the voters of South Carolina just DAYS before the vote. By using all your best outright blasphemies against truth WEEKS before the vote, you are giving the press and your opponent time to actually point out to enough people that you are lying. Come on, if you don't actually win, the lies won't go away.

Your devoted party leader,
President GWB

GOD will decided this election is on his hands.The same will expose all lies and manipulations.Americans don't play God or you will suffer the consequences. I don't care who is leading in the polls not.The bestpoll is Nov 4 poll.

When is the media going to do a realistic poll of the presidential race? All these so-called "polls" fluctuating back and forth between Obama and McCain are neglecting a HUGE segment of the American populace – cell phone owners! Depending on the landlines to get the political vibe of the country is at the very least scientifically inaccurate if not utterly foolish and misleading to those who actually follow them. I have a landline and Caller ID, and I almost never answer the phone if I don't recognize who is calling, to avoid telemarketers and time-consuming surveys (like the polls), and I'm sure there are droves of people out there in America just like me. Come Election Day there is literally going to be a FLOOD of voter turnout, most of whom were completely left out of the polls, simply because their primary contact is a cell phone number, and not only my home state of Virginia but the rest of the nation is going to take the media by surprise.

I am from Philippines watching US politics from Germany. Mc Cain will win this election...Obamas fame with Oprah is Philippines poilitcs...this is the most powerful country in the world...please vote wisely...

Obviously, this country will again be run by Rove/Limbaugh if all of this lying by the repukes works

Maybe others are doing some checking of the FACTS , that is what will move Obama back into the lead .
Look at who seems more presidential with the answers and on stage MCCain looks like a doofus. I for one do not want another doofus in the spotlight. We are a laughing stock to the rest of the world . I for one have checked facts and figures and the MCCain campaign is not just spining them , they are telling out and out lies

No Way , No MCain

vote Obama/ Biden 2008!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope we dont get 4 more years for the same policies. McCain/Palin will be worst.

who cares?
Obama is going to win!
Let McBush and Palin have their 5 min of fame. It's going to end soon!

I pray the current polls are wrong: When McCain and Obama vote the same on a bill – then McCain say's Obama is wrong ... the man is truly delusional.

If Cindy McCain paid off the national debt with her own personal money, I would still not vote for McCain/Palin. They say they are ready to lead but the truth is that they are unfit to lead.

Maybe the GOP whisperings about McCain's mental stability after being a POW all those years had some merit.

Obama would be wat ahead if Hillary was his VP

i think Mc Cain knows is not qualify for been president because of his wrong choice of running mate {Palin}
And everybody knows his tactic will not less long , and he's using a word 'change" for his campagn and we all know this theme belong to Barack Obama . and there is a proverb saying if you don't where you"re going go back where you was beford

Dead even numerically, but with the wide criticism of Palin's interview and McCain's campaign in general in the past few days, I wonder what this will look like in a month.

It is so sad that lies have so much effect on the simple people. The Republican lie of a lean government never worked. Republican governments only created huge debts to cover. They betray your children.

The Palin factor is coming to an end. The American people know the truth! She is not qualified and McCain will not help all Americans. He will continue on the same path.

This election is not a game. We need serious positive change.

Obama/Biden 2008

What do you mean..."The Poll of Polls does not have a sampling error?" That's wrong on its face! All data points have error.

Press must take an active roll – not just polls, scandals, gaffes & attacks, but real issues -to steer America in the right direction for this nation. This election is an historic. Young people are participating.
Teach them morals, decency, fairness, equity & equality,
Please don't teach them Karl Rove politics. I watched ABC when Diane Swayers says Republicans got excited when Karl Rove entered the room. Don;t cover news like that. There are many great inspirational leaders that youth and Americans can look up to.
There is too much evil already in the world.

I really do not see how the media and people of this country do not make clear to McCain that he will not get away with lies and whining about Obama wouldn't campaign like McCain wanted him to so the campaign has turned negative. Sarah Palin is scary and I'm a woman. It's really interesting to see that primarily men are so enthralled with her. Makes you wonder where their brains are.

Just goes to show that at least 46% of America is incredibly stupid, or racist, or more than likely, both. McCain and the Republicans are lying to you, you know it, they know it, they know that you know that they know, but you still support them anyway. As long as ignorant, frightened sheep voters turn out to the polls, we'll never rescue this country from these imbeciles. God help us!!!

Advantage McCain/Palin. It seems that every time Palin gets atttacked, her popularity grows. The Democrat's are in a fix. Looking back people will say "well, really, he was unelectable on three counts (minority, far-left & inexperienced)". In a country with vestiges of racism, that is predominantly centrist, it's almost implausible that a junior senator with no outstanding accomplishments could win the election. Whether or not he's a gifted orator. On top of that, Palin's nomination has rendered the Democrat's strategy of painting McCain as a Bush clone nulland void. Still, it has been interesting!

poll of polls does not give a true picture, Obama still leads in the number of seats he needs to secure to the win the general elections which is 270. Obama leads or is leaning in about 235 wheras Mcain has about 180.

Its funny that after all the attention Palin has been getting the last while, the McBush lie train is only ahead by one point. After hearing all the phony adoration, one would think that they would have opened up a huge lead. Hopefully people see that Palin is a puppet, and focus on the issues.

Obama/Biden '08

Let's see what it will be by the ed of the month, once the media has had time to vet Palin.

Looks like it's back to the starting blocks again after the wind aided pushes from both convention. Home stretch now! Agent of Change versus "The Mavericks". Can i say "drop it like it's hot"?

And as more of McCain and Palin's lies are exposed by responsible, truthful media outlets, his lead will vanish and he will be behind again.

McCain was asked about his flat out lying on the View this week and he lied about that too.

I'm tired of the lies. I know that both campaigns sometimes take things out of context and twist some words, but it seems that McCain just lies without blinking as naturally as call hist ticket the Mavericks after the past few years of his voting record and her pork barrel grabbing.

Go John!

Polls aside, the point is that Obama is just not electable-an empty suit, who can hardly be taken seriously. He did seem electable to some as long as he was a novelty ,running against Hillary, but this could not go on for long. On the other hand,McCains pretensions to sell himself as a brand different from George W. have never been credible ,so people had been looking for an excuse not to have to go for Obama. With Palin they have this excuse. Now Obama is doomed. And it s a pity.Could be another great comedian in the White House.

For the most part I have been shown all the issues on the democrats and republicans. I am most concern that the issues on the republican appear to be the similar as the present president Bush. It’s also clear that McCain has viewed wal-mart moms and hockey moms as illiterate people. That they will disregard the last eight years and just say who cares our jobs and homes are lost. Oh no they don’t need to stick to issues the gas prices are fine this is a game and may the best liar win.

What is wrong with McCain? Why the republicans enjoy playing DIRTY GAMES? Is that what the republicans all about? This game they play is the main reason our country is in this position! We need HELP!! But not from the republicans!!! DIRTY POLITICS = DIRTY GAMES

I'll start believing in polls when and if someone gets more than 20 point lead otherwise Obama still has a "molecular" size advantage regarding electoral votes. We all know it can all change in a matter of weeks but again, I doubt it's going to be significant on either side.

To those McCain supporters who boast...perhaps you should take a look at the electoral projections.

Two convention bounces in the polls and we've settled back down into a tie race. McCain has been underestimated all along but the overall trends are against him despite any temporary enthusiasm for his ticket.

McMudslinger & his sidekick McPatheticPhonyPalin.
why is America buying this?
What happened to Americas intelligence.
89% of overseas Americans (and other countries as might add) prefer Obama as president of America.
Obama is right when he said India & China are leading us.
Now I know why.
America is stupid not to recognise how great Obama can be as president of Ameica

REAL CLEAR POLITICS have McCain up by 10 Electoral votes. Only the 2nd time McCain has taken the lead in their polls.

227 McCain
217 Obama

mccain is going to fall badly my friend. he is not a marverick. he is a liar with straight face not straight talk.

Join the winning team OBAMA/BIDEN. We are sick and tired of these shameless pathological liars (pair of McCain/Palin) and their errand boy Karl Rove. Nothing good can come out of them.OBAMA/BIDEN 2008/2012.To Obama/Biden go on with your agenda for America and brush aside the GOP crude approach to politics.

I was a pure McCain supporter. But now is clear that he is just a liar and that is disappointing. I will never vote for someone who lies at every chance he got, and now people started to notice.

Can you say............ back at 'cha John McCain. Everyone KNEW your lead was just, should we say, a "silly bump", nothing more.

LIES do NOT make a candidate, they make a LIAR out of you and Sarah Palin. As a matter of fact Sarah Palin herself admitted that she LIED about your claims that she didn't take EARMARKS as Governor of Alaska during her interview with Charlie Gibson last night. I mean WHAT does say about YOUR credibility John McCain. YOU lied on The View when you said she didn't and you lied about her selling the plan on EBAY!!!

Americans are SMARTER than you give them credit. We are sick of getting bogged down in nothing "FEAR MONGERING AND BASELESS ATTACKS".

Is that ALL you're good at? I mean coming from a Senator who has been around 29+ years in Washington and supported George W. Bush MORE than any other Republican in the Party.

IS baseless attacks ALL you are good at? Is that ALL your campaign does is spew baseless lies and attack after attack?

I mean there comes a point when even YOUR OWN supporters are going to say "hummmm, where's the solutions to the issues?"

Where are your PLANS and ANSWERS to the issues facing millions of families? Geee....

ENOUGH OF THE LIES AND SMEAR TACTICS, YOU'RE STARTING TO LOOK AND SOUND LIKE A PIG WITH LIPSTICK YOURSELF!!!

GOOD`. And it will get higher in favor of Obama. The American people are not stupid and will see through the garbage and lies that McCain is putting out. We Absolutely need to get rid of McWane and Wailin.

Paper or Plastic? Neither. Vote Nader!

I'm a Canadian watching with absolute horror at the way these American elections are going. I am astonished and dismayed that so many Americans are even remotely considering voting in such a ticket as McCain – Palin. It is even more ludicrous and frightening coming on the heels of one of the most reviled administrations in history.
To even seriously consider allowing such an unqualified running mate as Sarah Palin, with her extremist views and razor thin resume, has led me and most others around the globe to seriously question McCain's judgement and ability.
I was reading the other day on the Cuban Missile crisis and the careful, thoughtful and measured ways JFK and his advisers deliberated on their responses to Russia, and wondered which potential Presidential ticket would be capable of defusing such a situation today and which would possible have propelled the country into the unthinkable, possible nuclear war. The only team I can see acting as Kennedy's team did is Obama-Biden. The other two are not capable of the wisdom and clear judgement required to make decisions affecting not only their own countries security but consequently that of the rest of the world.

MCCAIN SHOWED HIS "OUTRAGE TEMPER" ON THE VIEW THIS WEEK!

AND PALIN'S INTERVIEW, SHE IS CLUELESS!

WHAT MORE PROOF, DOES THE AMERICAN PEOPLE NEED?

IS AMERICA TRULY THIS DUMB?

From here to election day, the GOP base will be energized for McCain. If it's determined Gov. Palin inapprproriately used her influence in Troopergate, it might make a dent in her support, but propably won't affect how most people vote. Obama still has the chance to eke out a close win, but the election is no longer his to win or lose.

We LOVE Sarah!! She gets our vote!!!!

Looks like the Palin bounce is losing it's spring and so soon, too.

If McCain gets elected President, corruption, criminality, stupidity and indecency, no longer belongs to the Bush Government but to the American culture and its people. I will weep for our children.

Looks like the HOT AIR is starting to seep out of that inflated balloon of the republican party.

McCain is as phony as a three dollar bill.........Anyone who cant see that is lacking some brain cells

Would people really want this old has been to be president?

It's amazing this election is as close as it is, despite the horrendous Bush administration and the views Senator McCain has.

Nice CNN, I guess you are on Mcshame's side now, everyone knows CNN is more left than right but now we can see that you you are jumping ship and leaning on Mcshame's side. u r reporting more on Mcshame than you are on Obama. Shame on all of of u on CNN. U R the reason for the polls are switching because of the heavy coverage that u provide that bridge to nowhere mom, of course all of that is untrue now so u all are pretty upset that u might have to report that. another 4 years of the same is fine with CNN. HOW CAN A 72 YEAR OLD MAN CHANGE THINGS. A VICE PRESIDENT DOES NOT DO SQUAT! THEY MAKE NO CHANGES, ONLY TH E PRESIDENT MAKES CHANGES NOT A VICE PRESIDENT. ALL THE VICE DOES IS GO TO FUNERALS!!! WAKE UP AMERICA!!!

Ooooh six months of Obama leading by high single digits and now when they're statistically tied it's trouble for Obama!! Hah.

OBAMA should launch an effective Campaign Ad, sighting Sen, John MCcain in Ohio telling amricans at a closed Auto Plant that their jobs are gone and are not coming back.

American People are kidding me.
How can people being tied of the last 8 years, still wanting to vote McCain. He has aggree with Bush for 91% of the times more than every other senate.
It seems to me there is element of RACISM in the play here??

I may be wrong, but why can someone choose a party that has brought missery to his life??

The Palin bounce is finally waning– all it took was one week and one interview. McCain's desperate tactics can't fool the American people. God bless America.

let the dust settle. Obama will go up onece and for all.

Worthless polls...they have been shown in a statistical tie since they started polling the two.

These polls are missing some of the largest followers for Obama – college students and young voters (non-students). If they are included, I think Obama has an easy 7-10% lead nationwide.

And, if you see the current electoral predictions, Obama is leading by a substantial margin.

I predict a pretty comfortable win for Obama in this election...nothing is going to stop it. Nothing. Period.

McCain campaign can try all the rove style dirty politics that worked for Bush in 2000 and 2004. But, Obama is better prepared to attack back than Gore or Kerry were. Republicans plan to control the white house by playing with the emotions of the American people and insert smears about Obama in to their mind, and not talk about the issues at all.

Lastly, what is up with Palin? Do you really think she is ready to take office if something happens to McCain? If so, think again all you independents. McCain/Palin is NOT who we need after this atrocious Bush/Cheney era. I have nothing against her, but whenever she talks, I get irritated. She sounds very arrogant and its obvious to see that if someone doesn't agree with her, that person goes in to her 'bad' books. We cannot have such personality traits in an American president.

Obama/Biden '08!

Of course they show that because recently most of the major polling companies have started polling a majority of republicans and people leaning towards mccain instead of making it even

It doesn't surprise me after the Palin interview I believe most Americans can see clearly now that a McCain/Palin ticket is just more of the same. Frankly McCain and Palin together scare the hell out of me. McCain will continue to slide now that Palin has been exposed.

Well, that's good. I'm just afraid of what the Rasmussen tracking will say today. It jumped 3 points for McCain yesterday, which means that today will probably be worse.

I've lost hope on the poll of polls, and have placed my faith in the Electoral College. I wonder if the youth who are planning to vote Obama are truly being taken into account. Myself, a 21 year old, have never contributed to these polls, nor have I ever been contacted via telephone to contribute. I have confidence in my belief that most of the other young voters this time around are in the same situation. Republicans are riled up and getting feisty. It is not without merit to say that more Republicans probably feel compelled to show their support so close to the convention and announcement of Palin. McCain was boring. He was the presumptive nominee FOREVER, and Republicans were adamant in proclaiming their lack of enthusiasm for their candidate before the convention. Obama supporters have had (mostly) unwavering support since the primaries. I think these polls will be irrelevant come November 4th.

Obama / Biden '08!

Everyone wake up, we are being dooped by the McCain-Rove crew, and they have convinced the voters and the media that Palin is qualified to be VP. Think about it, do you really believe in your heart that Palin could run our country if McCain become president and something happen to him.

I am amazed how so many people can be fooled by non-sense and lies. McCain throws out very negative ads full of lies and the media don’t call him out on it. When he is asked, he says well I asked Obama to go out on town home meeting with me.

Palin repeats herself over and over with her stumped speech that is also full of lies.

Wake up people, because if we continue to fall into this trap the McCain-Rove crews are spewing, then we better get ready for another 4 years of McCain/Bush economics, two wars, gas/energy, and the biggest debt in our history.

WAKE UP AMERICA; don’t let the FOX NEW and all the Rightwing Nuts still this election like they did for the last 8 years.

Good to know that Americans don't pay attention to issues. The hypocrisy and outright lying shown by the republicans seems to be working in their favor. Re-electing a party responsible for several disasters both economically and on a global front could only happen in the States.

I just really wish Americans would start caring about the rest of the world and the impact of a third Bush term. A lot of experience in being wrong is worse than a little bit of experience being right in my opinion.

Obama has sunk to a new low with his newest ad. Not only is he ageist, which is as bad as being sexist or racist but he also is making fun of someone because of their disability. When McCain was a prisoner of war his arms were broken which makes it to painful for him to do things such as type on a computer keyboard.

When McCain is president I doubt he will have time to send emails or text messages. I think he will be concerned with more important things.

The key to all these polls is they are only contacting "likely voters" they are contacting any of the millions of newly registered voters. the voters of the new era that live by there cell phones and computers. these are the voters that will make the difference, and they see the true leader in this race. So put that in your poll and smoke it.

People really need to wake up. John McCain is nothing but lies, lies, lies, and more lies.

If he is elected, his knee-Jerk, whatever it takes to elect me will destroy this country.

How stupid are the %46 of America that our leaning his way? Do facts and truth even matter/

If we elect him, we deserve what we get. I don't want to hear people in Ohio, Penn., and Michegan crying about losing their jobs.

As an Arizonan who voted for McCain three times in his senate races, I am appalled at the outright lying he has enabled in his ads and in Palin's interview on ABC. I no longer support Mr. McCain. His choice of Palin, who has been caught lying, underscores his poor judgement.
America dose not need a team of liars to be president and VP.

McCain is right–Most Women are as stupid, gullible and naive as he anticipated in selecting Palin to lure the easily lead and easily duped into voting for him. Womens suffurage was a waste

Um yeah, your poll is off

Wonderful. Sarah Palin pathologically lies to the country, McCain backs her up, and they wind up one point ahead.

That poll cannot be correct. Obama has to be ahead by at least 20 points......not to worry Dems. Polls are always wrong.

Soon people will realize Sarah Palin was just a FLING!

I'm so tired of the Republican's attacks and attempts to distract us from the real issues that are troubling to this country. Polls will go up and down, but what matters most is November 4th and how many people turn out to vote. America, let's change the course which this country is in. Let's focus on the issues that affects our lives, and ask tough questions. Palin has done a very rehearsed interview on ABC. All media should be grilling this woman and trying to understand what she's all about. Smile and personality is not good enough. This is the most important job in the world. We can't afford to make another mistake and elect a candidate that seems to be just like you and me. We've done that with Bush and look at where we are now. Republicans always have a plot, a game, a way to manipulate and twist the truth. I don't want 4 more years of a Republican in the White House. I've had enough of this charade. I want a smart man in power who'll put the country's interest ahead of his own ego. Vote OBAMA!

obama, please debate mccain in a townhall setting and put your money where your mouth is...quit ducking mccain...the more you ignore his requests the more people will think you are an empty suit who only does well with prepared remarks read from a teleprompter...

This ole goat (I am from Arizona) is doing whatever he can to discredit Obama. You've got a long ways to go baby !! First the ole goat steals Obama's campain slogan. " It is time for change !" Is he so dumb that he (nor his aides) can create their own statement?? Then he choses this Bimbo as VP. God help us. Quote: "Palin has experience with forgein policy. As gov of Alaska she was right next to Russia!!" Now THAT is experience !! Both candidates voted the same on immigration. I do not want 4 more years of politics as usual. For those of you who want to avoid the truth; don't critize any spelling errors. You get the picture, or do you?

Is the dark side stronger?
No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.

John McCain the once honorable warrior has been seduced by the dark side. Consumed with anger and lust for power he is!

Republic 08

"The Poll of Polls does not have a sampling error." Yeah, okay! Any type or random sampling has a sampling error.

Truth is always difficult to spin. The US has suffered immeasurably
during the years Senator McCain has been in public life...The worst period of mindless control of the US in the face of a clever enemy is coming to a close this January, the Bush Reich. If all McCain can accomplish with this gender ploy, is one or two points in the polls he will fail. The Palin affair is intended to divert attention from the caging, voter fraud, and apartheid activity happening right now in Ohio, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Florida, Iowa, and any where else the Rebublican'ts dishonor and defile our once proud nation. FOURTH ESTATE do your job, or we will all surely fail, and slip into the fascist bed the agents of chaos have made for the US....

Myself, family and friends we didn't get poll and we all for Obama.

Is anyone really surprised by the polls?
Does anyone really believe the polls??
Unless Obama starts adressing the lies and mistruths from the McCain camp the polls will continue to favor McCain.
McCain-Palin are going unchallenged.... and anyone that says that Palin is ready to be VP or President, is lying to themselves and to the country.

Here is a comment from a US Marine in distress:

"Sen Joe Biden, I have respect for sir. Let us see if Mccain and Cindy mccain can release just last year income.
Straight from baghdad i want you and obama to bring us home sir."

I hear you buddy and have not forgotten you. While Palin-mania is important to half the people. Our veterans are stuck in Iraq and killing themselves at a high rate. What is important to you America? Get them soldiers out of harms way or let McCain draft you and go fight.
Hopefully you'll get a taste of this soldiers medicine.

Of course CNN would only show a 1 point lead by McCain, they don't want their boy Obama to look bad if it were higher.

Where are these polls taken? This campaign should not be about personality, it should be on the issues affecting us Americans-we are one nation. To paraphrase JFKs line -the queston that should be asked iby all of us not what we the country can do for us, but what we can do for your country at this critical time? If each of us examine our own personal situation over the Bush administration, are we better or worse? If you're worse off, the choice of Obama/Biden is quite clear.
The McCain campaign is not about issues, it's about rhetoric--enough is enough. The real poll that counts is Nov 4th. Let's not let the Karl Rove and his merry bandit pull the wool over our eyes again. Enough is enough, we have had it !!!!!! Change, and meaningful change is what is needed. Nuff said !!!

Is Obama catching up after Palin's Interview with Gobson? I just can't wait to see what "Sarah Palin Revealed" will do to her.

Obama will continue to rise in the polls as the truth about "PaCain" continue to be "revealed" – (no pun intended).

I don't believe these polls. McCain is going to lose in November. This Hillary Clinton supporter is voting democrat. DEMOCRATS WILL TAKE BACK THE WHITE HOUSE!!!!!

Who says cheaters never prosper... With the willingness of many mentally-challenged Americans to believe everything they see on TV and not focus on the issues, McCain finds that lying in abundance and pretending to respect women and their rights is his best strategy to win. Wake up, people! Check the records, examine the issues! THINK!!! Why do you think McCain struggles with the EDUCATED? When America is in this same rut or worse 4 years from now, who will you blame? Obama-Biden '08, the only SANE choice

Give it another week. After the people see Palin for who she is, and not for who she was scripted to be by the RNC and McCain's Rove disciples, they will quickly sour on the lemon that is McCain-Palin.

You know what I would like to see? A federal election law banning polls. I am tired of them. I think everyone is tired of them. I also think they interfere with the natural election process.

I have been hearing that the McCain camp doesn't care what kind of evil they have to do to win this election. Well, we Democrats don't have to, but can resort to all sorts of tactics also. Number one is getting that witch Palin on charges of Terroristic Threats against the public servant chief she fired. I am certain he was threatened by someone in Alaska who are Palin's friends, guided by her. All we have to do is get the chief to press charges that he was threatened and she is gone. With her underhanded dealings, she doesn't deserve to be vice-president. Biden may be a cranky old cuss, but at least he is honest!

mmmmmm

NICE TRY

HERE ARE THE REAL FACTS....MOST UNBIASED POLLS HAVE MCCAIN UP ANYWHERE BETWEEN 3-5%.......MOST UNBIASED POLLS HAVE MCAIN AHEAD IN ELECTORAL VOTES......SEVERAL BLUE SATES ARE READY TO TURN RED

OBSERVATION:

THE AMERICAN PEOPLE HAVE LOST FAITH IN THE MEDIA.....MSNBC AND NBC ARE DIVING................ABC NEWS GETTING BASHED FOR CHARLIE GIBSON....OPRAH...AND THE VIEW...

ARE YOU GOING TO CONTINUE WITH YOUR NO BIAS NO BULL CLAIM??????????????????????????
LET'S SEE IF YOU HAVE GUTS TO PRINT THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
IF YOU DO ....I GIVE YOU PROPS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Believe me this won't last. This is what you call the Governor Sarah Palin Honeymoon period. As more and more people find out that she has not been truthful in her 'so called maverick" accomplishments, and shows she really isn't seasoned enough to be the Vice President and ESPECIALLY NOT the President. The McCain / Palin ticket WILL LOSE 5 to 8 points from Independents.

...sorry to say ..it is no more a pride for one to say i am an american.ThIs politics of skin color in lieu of issues,politcs of white rural,white evangelicals, and the sorts is a BIGBLOW to america.There is notin the world has to learn from america.Its is a sorry state that we dont know what we want anymore.The press,u people are the worst enemy of america.Leaving facts to pursue shadows.

Let me say it clear......Am white but it doesnt matter.The day MCcann and whoever gets ito that place marks the fall of america.

The world is talking about peace and all i hear from this campiagn is fear and war.Tot amaerica was aplace of intellectuals and reasoning.
Shame to us.

Lost my vote!!! Obama should be ahead by next week. Both McCain And Palin interviews this week were not impressive at all. Both seem very cocky. I never thought I will be voting democrat .

I'm surprise of all the women that is supporting McCain-Palin. Do they understand that these people, if given the opportunity thru support of congress will reverse Roe vs Wade? Women with unwanted pregnancies would turn to back street alleys and other unlawful practices for abortions. God forbid that a woman is rape and worse if a 12 or 13 year old is rape, you mean tell me that they would have a minor child carry a baby full term. who is going to pay for all this medical and prenatal care? The McCain-Palin Health Care does not cover middle American families. Yeah, Yeah, having a woman on a ticket as VP is great, but let's do our homework and take a look at what they are offering us regular folks. Stop watching the TV and read their bio. And then maybe you will see what the rest of us is seeing.

I can tell you that these polls don't account for voters age 18-30. Most of those people can't be reached by a landline phone, they are the cell phone only group. If these people turn out and vote like they say they will, this could be a landslide for Obama.

Most of the polling data is from Previous voters in 2004 age 40-70. Think about it folks.

2 then 1 then Zero....then back ahead. The American people are not as stupid as the Repugs think we are. It will be close...very close but McCain and the Zero with te Communications degree with credits from 6 different colleges OMG...have seen the top...it's all down hill from here for them. Im a retired military officer with an MBA...I have more education and exec experience than this woman...people are/will wake up before 4 Nov!!!

Obama's coming back!!

This will and always was a tight race. Now that the Palin factor is waning a little bit the question is – can McCain carry the ticket? My personal feeling si no. He could not carry it before the convention. So it boils down to can Palin carry McCain? My feeling is as soon as people really think about it and Palin is exposed to the media in unscripted settings her ability to carry the ticket will be tested. I am so glad now that he picked her instead of someone truly tested like Sen. Bailey-Hutchinson of Texas because I know she is capable and would be able to stand up to the scrutiny.

I'm afread the Americans are going to be intimidated all over again by the Republicans and make the same mistake of 4 years ago.

Will you ever learn ?

Björn, Belgium

While we are certain that Obama will win,its important that this win comes progressively than a suden days surge.This way voters do it to stay.They think through it and make a permanent decision.One point at a time.As for Mc lead,every competator has a right to enjoy a seasonal lead.Think the long didtances runners.Step by step but sure.lead.

i have never voted republican and will never will.
McCain will go to war with Iran, Syria, or some other place that is for sure. He will most likely die from stress and Pailin will take over

Thank God!!!

o they used fox news poll, no wonder mccain is in the lead.

MCCAIN WE NEED A DOUBLE DIGIT LEAD. GO GET'M JOHN AND SARAH.

It looks like a macho guy, Todd Palin, who works in the oil fields in Alaska may be helping to run our country – HOW PATHETIC AND SCARY!!!!!!! McCain really dragged the bottom of the barrel ! McCain is as SICKO as those two Palins. COCKY WACKO is a very apt description of Palin. McCain and many other men have a "Britney Spears mentality"!!!!!!!

This poll is a blip!

No more republican in the White House this year. No way, no how, no McCain – P.

America wants change, America wants reform and America wants

Obama/Biden 08/12.

I guess these people have watched the interview with ABC's Charlie Gibson. McCain's lead is and has only happen because he place an unqualified, "My foreign policy experience is that on a small island in Alaska you can see Russia". Using her power as a governor to carry out family revenge. Dan Quail in a dress VP.

I am one of man independent voters who is tired of the way McCain's campaign is using every dirty tactic to win this election. Palin needs to speak to reporters, wait I forgot, give her a teleprompter so she can talk because she doesn't know what she is talking about. I can't wait to the VP debates. If the ABC interview did show who she truely is then the world will find out then.

To quote TO, "Get your popcorn ready"

I guess that "bush doctrine" issue didn't bring McCain down in the polls...

I'm tired of seeing comments by people saying "she didn't even know what the Bush Doctrine was...she's not ready"

WHO - EVER-HEARD-OR-KNOWS-WHAT-THE–BUSH–DOCTRINE-WAS!!!??

Get a life you liberal left wing crazys!

It's over for "The One"....
After all the chanting and roaring and once all those styrofoam columns go backstage, all we have is an inexperienced anti-american running for president.

McCain/Palin 08' for Less Government Intervention and Less Taxes

I guess playing gutter politics gives you a bounce in the polls...

As a democrat, I 'm sick of Palin. Obama and the media need to express Obama's economic/health care plans. Who cares if she doesn't know about bush policies. I doubt Bush knows let alone Palin.I'm sick of the Palin factor and the meida putting her unerder the microscope. Also, the more I hear her speak..the more I'm impressed. I have pondered voting for her..more obama.
tn

Governor Palin must go on "MEET the PRESS." Americans need to know who these candidates are in order to make informed, inteligent choices. All of the others have been on. McCain 52 times, biden 42 times, Obama 3 or more times. Palin 0 times.

The public is reluctant to believe that a war hero can be a liar - a non-stop liar who will say anything to get ahead. What happened to the officer's honor? And, probably worse, if he lies like this to get elected, what can we expect from him if he becomes president? Could we be nostalgic for Bush? Don't take the chance!

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

McCain / Palin !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Polls are lies. We have had 5 polling calls to our home. They will ony speak to the MALE voter of the household. You figure it out ladies.
The "fix" is in when it comes to "polls" . Do not believe them.!
This is especially ridiculous when you consider that we outnumber male voters.
Want to be under paid, barefoot and pregnant? Vote GOP
Want true equality? Vote DEM.
It is that simple.

Didn't you all just say that... Its the electoral college duhhh....... State by State Cnn....And maybe if the "reporters" forcused on the real issues and not lies from Mccain he wouldn't be up.. I am so sick of lieing politicians. You had a hand in selling the Iraq war to us so I hope your going to start reporting real reporting.. Not Access Hollywood fluff reporting. If you dont want to be blamed for this election like you were for the war you better get started.. Report people on the issues.... Why aren't you outraged that Mccain says he is going to "win" this war in iraq. But I have never heard how. Whos going to ask that question? I am sure all the military personel would love to know this as well. Scince its there lifes on the line for us. Or how about education, fixing the buget I haven't heard anything. I heard Mccain say were going to fix washington ok, HOW??? Obama I have heard ideas and he said he would pay for them by ending the war in Iraq. Ok so we know how hes going to pay for these ideas. I wish I new what Mccain was going to do.. I hope that people will open there eyes Mccain is Bush. And last night a heard Palin wanting to tell me what I can and can't do with my uterus.. Ok so Republicians wasnt government out of our lifes and in to womens uterus??? What are you kidding me?? GET A CLUE AMERICA!!!!!!!!

don't believe it–these polls don;t include people that use only cell phones–which are most young people and new voters.. so these polls are bogus and mean nothing until the polling system is changed to reality .

It is just 1 point, I smell trouble for mcccain camp in upcoming weeks, he should be worried now.those polls don't include college students, newely democrats registered and obama still leading in electoral college.

I can't believe any self-respecting person watches "the view". Its a bunch of radical "has-been" women who use foul language and smut talk. Join Oprah in the most loss of viewers this fall. The program should be banned due to profanity and indecency.

The poll of polls is yet again another red herring. These polling calls are made to landlines and not cell phones. I do not have a home phone and a majority of my friends and colleagues do not...and if they do it is only to get Tivo so it is never answered. So who exactly is sitting at home during the day answering pollsters on their home phone.....not the kind of people who are going to vote for Obama...so the polls are skewed and we will find that out in November. So CNN, you can stop boring us with your numbers.

The poll of polls is supposedly tight. However, as a Hillary Clinton supporter, I see that the momentum has steadily shifted away from Obama. I am deeply saddened by the way the Democratic party self destructed in picking Obama over Clinton. When they had a chance to salvage it, Obama under pressure from the Pelosis and Deans chose not to vet Clinton. How stupid on his part... well, history wont be kind to these fools when they lose an election that was so easily in their grasp.
My sense is that McCain will win by over 7 points by the time this momentum has stabilized. Palin has truly energized the country and it is hard to stop. She is a natural, and in comparison Obama is beginning to sound more contrived.

polls do not result in who would actual win the election. I think people are really losing sight to what the real issue is in this campaign and that is issues that barack obama has been saying for over 19months that people are suffering and struggling. Everyone is so caught up in sarah palin, however it is the real issues that we should be looking for both presidential canidates policies. Just as Hilliary and Bill Clinton said, at the end our lives will be affected. Quit getting so hype up about sarah palin, issues is what matters to me and my family angela orlando, florida

Wow, the race looks tight. (I don't think it really is). A lot of smoke from the Republicans thrown up over the last 2 weeks. McCain's campaign is now embracing change. The only change we can get details on is the straight talk express is in a pit stop and they now relentlessly attack with ads/statements of little truth or value to the American public.

How idiotic to say poll of polls doesn't have sampling error. Sampling error is inherent to the polls themselves and therefore carries over to the poll of polls if not worsen the prediction. CNN should hire new statisticians.

From the high road to the gutter.

The Straight Talk Express to the Trash Talk Express.

I didnt know that the president is picked by the national polls.......what are the state to state polls shaping up to be oh yea OBAMA up in all the key battle ground states

Obama is not qualified to lead this country and he achieved his nomination through back-room deals, ignoring the majority of the Democratic Party voters.

For many (millions) of us that is not acceptable. We will vote for McCain in November and then start cleaning house to help rebuild the Democratic Party.

The way obama is floundering everybody can tell he is way in over his head. . Well look, he is just a fish out of water...he jumps on this, and then he jumps on that and the most stupid of all...computer knowledge. Heck if that was the case why in the world isn't Bill Gates and Steve Jobs the candidates. Or is that another of the so called wonderful accomplishments obama attributes to himself. After all according to him he is an expert on everything. Does he really need a VP and a cabinet, well after all, according to him he does everything.

I'm sure which is the weaker candidate Obama for not dominating the polls in a low republican year or is it because he is black or John McCain that the only way he could increase his lead is via a woman the republican woman that the base could more identify with, than him.

Where's Michelle in that pic? I noticed BO is keeping Michelle out of site these days. wonder why?

Thank God! Obama will just further erode everything this country once stood for; including our most basic freedoms.

I truly wonder how these polls are conducted as I have never been involved in it........ How many people are at home to do this since its done with the land phone?

People should not be fooled by this polls... Let us continue to listen to the campaigns and hope that points concerning ordinary Americans will be discussed by the parties and that they wont continue to pick holes on each other

One point ahead!!!!! Why dont you say its tie??? or may be Obama is ahead as you do not include Cell phone polling into your consideration . We all know the big supporters of Obama are Teenagers and they are not included in your polling!

Your polling serves as to give a bad feeling to his supporters! which does not reflect the really truth.

bush also looked idiot and dumb and he won two elections. Only qualification to win US presidential election is how dumb and stupid r you?. how easily you can be briefed(brain washed)?. I still do not understand What a US president actually does?

I love this country a lot... I am a christian who will fight every where at any time to help USA have a fresh look around the world. Yes I will do anything to help Obama..because we the real people are tired of Bush/Maccain/+
Yes in God we trust and for America we will make big sacrifice.

No Maccain..no Palin...No Bush 3rd

Obama/Biden08 + Clinton in the Sup..Court

Americans wake up? In case you missed it. The World has voted Obama 49% and 12% for McPalin. This does mean something for you? Find out on BBC World – Polls (22 countries and thousands of people interviewed). Would you prefer seeing other countries burning US Flag everywhere than seeing tem welcoming American president Obama and VP Biden as the World great leaders for US & the World? If you can still think, please try...

Everyone wake up, we are being dooped by the McCain-Rove crew, and they have convinced the voters and the media that Palin is qualified to be VP. Think about it, do you really believe in your heart that Palin could run our country if McCain become president and something happen to him.

I am amazed how so many people can be fooled by non-sense and lies. McCain throws out very negative ads full of lies and the media don’t call him out on it. When he is asked, he says well I asked Obama to go out on town home meeting with me.

Palin repeats herself over and over with her stumped speech that is also full of lies.

Wake up people, because if we continue to fall into this trap the McCain-Rove crews are spewing, then we better get ready for another 4 years of McCain/Bush economics, two wars, gas/energy, and the biggest debt in our history.

WAKE UP AMERICA; don’t let the FOX NEW and all the Rightwing Nuts still this election like they did for the last 8 years.

I HOPE AMERICA WILL REALIZE THAT THE REPUBLICANS ARE LIAR AND NOT TO BE TRUSTED AND THINK WE ARE TO DUMB TO REALIZE IT

As a Senior Citizen from the Great State Of Ohio and an Independent Voter, I am so turned off by the negative and untrue ads being run by the McCain people. It was a toss-up as to who to vote for but the last week has allowed me to make up my mind. Never will John McCain get my vote or the vote of my wife. He and his negative ads have turned our votes to Obama. Many of our friends have the same feeling in the last week. McCain speak to the issues. It is the economy that we are most worried about.

Only the electoral college counts–270 and you win.

IT AMAZES ME THAT OBAMA HAS ALL THIS MONEY AND JUST ABOUT EVERY NEWS NETWORK BEHIND HIM, AND HE STILL HASNT CLOSED THE DEAL. TELLS ME THE AMERICAN PUBLIC IS HAVING BUYERS REMORSE, AND IS STARTING TO SEE THERE IS NO EXPERIENCE OR SUBSTANCE BEHIND HIM. HE SEEMS TO BLOW WITH THE WIND ON HIS ISSUES ALSO. I AM A HILARY SUPPORTER AND WAS STILL GOING TO VOTE FOR HER, BUT PALIN IS SWAYING ME. I LIKE HER ALOT. SHE HAS A GOOD RECORD AND ISNT AFRAID OF CONFLICT. SHES NO HILARY, BUT I DO THINK SHE WAS A VERY GOOD CHOICE.

If America wakes up and see thru all the lies and deceitfulness of Mcshame and his RELIGIOUS RIGHT WING GROUP, O.B. should be up by 20 points

The pail effect will fade away just like previous American Idol contestants.

I have voted Republican all my life. Sarah Palin's views and lack of depth are disturbing. The ABC interviews are revealing. She is naive at best. Her shallow understanding of the economy and foreign affairs will hurt McCain's bid and be potentially harmful if she really became Vice President. They say Obama is an empty suit but she is not ready for sure. As a Republican, I am concerned. Palin may be the deal breaker for me this election.

Do we want to elect the selection of Hollywood and the DNC?

Do we want to be told who we are going to vote for?

Check out CAUCUSFRAUD.COM

I will not vote for the least qualified that has ever been put up, not elected, as a candidate. If we don't stand for our basic of democratic rights and freedoms what will come next?

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO OBAMA
Where's the BEEF?
NO BEEF, NOBAMA!

McCain and Palin appear to have peaked, and if the mainstream media does its job from here on out, there will be a steady deflation of that ticket as the truth comes out about their ongoing lies and about Palin's corruption, lack of qualifications, and unpreparedness. That interview on ABC is pathetic! She knows NOTHING about foreign affairs and sounds like a grade schooler trying to answer the questions.

If McCain wins, this will truly reveal the idiocy of America.

I don’t know what country some of you live in but I think the USA is the greatest country in the world and as far as the last 8 year people are quick to forget that we had one of the lowest unemployment rates in history. Our country production output per man-hour has increased due to the tax breaks given to corporation in research of process improvements to keep jobs here. We start increasing tax on cooperation and what do you think will happen to US jobs. Does anybody remember who sold our country out to free trade (Bill the Dem)? I can’t believe the Unions supported him.
And as far as our country’s safety there hasn’t been one terrorist attack in our borders since 911. They don’t want to talk peace THEY WANT US DEAD!!!! Who was a sleep at wheel for 8 years before that (Bill the Dem)?
Let talk Education now I am a single father raising two girls 11 and 9. And I have to say that my oldest daughter has learned more by 5th grade then most graduating student have learned in the past. She attends a public school in Georgia and understands and is fluent with higher level math skills like algebra and geometry.
Now there is energy. We are the are the world leader in nuclear research and I live within 50 mile of one nuclear power plant and 200 mile from another. I have no fears of anything happening. And if we have resources use them. We still need to keep looking for better ways but we need to use what we have reduce our foreign dependence.
One last thing, Health Care, our government needs to keep there hands out of it. What they need to do is start garnishing that wages with and holding there income tax return of people that have health insurance available to them but don’t get it. This would lower it for all of who play by the rule and expect government hand outs. Our government doesn’t owe us anything but a safe and free place to live. We need to start being accountable for ourselves.
So I feel the only change we need is to clean up and reduce our government.

yesterday mccain was winnin by 2 today its 1 point, people actually watch the palin interview

I guess Palin's new car smell is starting to wear off. I hope the American public starts to recognize that they are potentially electing a lemon that will break down the moment it's needed...it's like the public is trying to elect her rather than McCain. That's scary, and that's ignorant. I think they're starting to figure that out.

YOU GOT IT?????
MCCAIN GONNA WIN. HILLARY WILL TAKE HIM OUT ON 2012.

Mccain Is Coming Back Down Now That His Novelty Act Is Wearing Off!

Yeahhhhhhh!!!

The tide is turning back in favor of common sense. McSame can hide behind Palin and dirty political ads all day long, but in the end the people will speak - ENOUGH!!!

Gotta go....doing some door to door work today for Obama!!!

And the number will continue as people find out what a sahm your VP choice is!

CNN puts headlines on their front page because they like McCain...they like the way Bush handles the country and they are scared of change. Simply put: an Obama presidency would hurt their bottom line.

Any women that can shoot a ak47 gun,field dress a moose and nik name is the{baracuda) is enough experence for me!!!...shes got my vote to be a heart beat away from the president!!!! not.

And now Barack understands that he cannot afford to be sitting on his hands! Ever since the McCain camp cast the image of celebrity staus on Obama, the Democrats have been losing control of the campaign. An with the energetic, if controversial, choice of Palin, McCain has taken control of the debate even more.

As an Obama supporter, I say this with all due respect. Get off your fanny Obama! Get out there! Show the American public your dynamic and authoratative side, like you id the last two Democratic conventions.

If you/we your supporters sit by complacently there's going to be a huge upset November 4th.

That picture is hilarious. The caption should be:

"Obama escorts McCain to the nursing home."

McCain is resorting to lies and smears to win, but i believe ultimately Obama will win because truth is on his side.

LIes and deception in order to win at all cost ! Is this what Mr, McCain and Ms, Palin call "putting country first" ?
For the first time of my life in this country I am truly frightened at the idea that an old, nasty, incompetent fool and his dimwit nominee for VP may bring us to a global catastrophe. I want my children to believe in the future. McCain/Palin offer a holocaust.

obama will be up next week

Yesterday 2 point lead. Today 1 point lead. I see a trend coming. It's good to see that America is finally seeing the light and I see an Obama lead next week. Obama puts his country first and his plans and policies prove it. More for the people, less for corporate thugs that's running our economy through the tubes. If the American people elects McSame and Pitbull in office. We deserve what's coming for us. I guess Voting for Bush twice hasn't brought us new light.

No more bull.
Vote Obama/Biden 08

It must have been a humbling experience for BO to be knocking on Bill Clinton's door and asking for help in the campaign.

'Bill, pulleeeeez, help me. I'm sinking. The people are turning against me. I'm down in the polls. I'm stuck with Biden and McCain has Palin. I should have taken Hillary – is it too late, Bill? And I'm trying to link McCain with Bush but it doesn't wanna stick. People are calling me names and don't believe what I say. Help me Bill'.

I wonder what deal the ex-prez negotiated with Barack?

As we have seen this year, the polls have been quite inaccurate. Obama/Biden will win. People are not willing to vote for four more years of the same Bush/McCain policies.

The US election is being watched by most Canadians including our Prime Minister and for good reason. The obvious choice for a next president lies in Obama. At this point in history, with so much at stake, why would anyone even think of voting McCain. This is the wrong moment to be preoccupied with gender issues. Give us all a break.

i watched joy behar call out mccain on his campaign ad lies yesterday on 'the view'. well, here's another one. clearly, he is desperate for the white house, as he will do or say anything to win. shame on mccain.

Race is indeed tight.

BUT we still need to see the debates and frankly, from what I've seen, the Republicans don't seem to have very many real answers at all for the multitude of problems that face this nation. Expect total carnage in the debates. Obama and Biden are so much more informed on every issue.

Hang on in there Senator Obama and continue to maintain your dignity and your integrity even if McCain doesn't. What God has for you is for you and what he has for McCain is for McCain. Don't stoop to his cut throat tactics. We are behind you Senator Obama and family.

I am deeply worried that Obama has fallen so much in the poll of polls. I only hope he can make all of this up in time for the November Election. Surely America can't want another four years of Republican government.

Obama 2008!!!

While John McCain may have behaved heroically in the past, he has abandoned any pretense at heroism in his zeal to be elected. I'd rather see someone elected who behaves with integrity than someone who did so a generation ago. Hopefully, the American public will agree.

it should be the other way round once the american people start to understand where this people's policies stand...., as for now let them have a good nite sleep."do not disturb a sleeping dog"
ooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOBAMA 008'

Once again the Republicans are stealing the election with lies, deception, and manipulation. McCain is a man of honor? Why did he not defend his honor when his family was attacked by Bush in 2000? Why did the hero give in to the interrogators at Hanoi Hilton and sell out his country? What honor? He chose an incompetent fundamentalist as his running mate to pander to the wacko right. McCain and Palin have blatantly lied to the American public and the uneducated, and those lacking in discernment (the 51% who elected Bush) are too stupid to buy into it again. It could be revealed that Palin is a murderer and the unconscious electorate would still remain in denial. Pathetic country and now the laughingstock of the world. Good bye USA.

If the American people are so stupid that they are willing to believe fabrications about Obama rather than research for themselves the truth then we are destined for another four years of Bush's disasterous policies. God bless us all.

idiotic

mind game!

It was only a matter of time before McCains lead declined. The more Palin speaks the better it is for Obama. By this time next week Obama should have over Taken McCain.

Is this the begining of the mcCain downward trend?

Waitr and see. The Palin effect is now fading.

In the past Obama has shown that he can bounce back when faced with difficulty, like the controversial Reverand Wright issue. I believe Obama and his campaign organizers will rise over this too.

The Obama campaign is too smart to let McCain get away with lying and will attack his distorted ads.

Obama may not attack right away but . . . . it is coming

Obama is the real change.

It's all about the ELECTORAL COLLEGES.... GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Sarah is going to hand herself on her own!!! McCain is gonna go away naturally

I will only believe these polls when they start asking everyone including cell phone users their opinion.

Cnn why don't you conduct cell phone polls or go to schools ? Actually Obama is ahead by state to state basis.

We are bot interested in National Polls, Enough is Enough, the polls called me and I said I support MacCain, but will I vote for him, No!

The Wisconsin State Journal had an article about the McCain campaign sending out information for absentee ballots to registered democrats. It appears that the addresses on the applications may be returned to areas where the voter is not eligible to vote, which would invalidate their vote. Nice way to disenfranchise the electorate.

John, you make us so proud of you. Each day you bring us more sleaze, and make the Bush campaigns of 2000 and 2004 look more honorable.

American people..... do not make the same mistake twice, you are much better than that...haven't we suffered enough for the last 8 years.

THE BIGGEST POLL OF ALL...........NOVEMBER 4, 2008.........IT COUNTS!

OBAMA / BIDEN 08

By next week, Obama will have regained his lead and all in the world will be right again.

CNN we will see November 4, 2008 when Obama win the election,
These polls are for the republican and cares what polls say because I have not ask to be taken a poll survey.....CNN who cares about the polls,

Pumas,

Palin will be president in 2012. That witch Hillary can stay home and keep tabs on her cheating husband.

Palin 2012

I just saw clips from the Palin and Gibson interview. ARE YOU KIDDING ME!!! Palin looked like a student who poorly studied for their Vice President 101 Final Exam. This is not American Idol or America's Got Talent. This person will potentially be a heartbeat away from the most important political office in the world. Palin didn't even know what the Bush Doctrine was, a doctrine solely responsible for the Middle East mess that we are involved in right now. Palin thinks that being close to Russia gives her a distinct knowledge of their affairs. I simply cannot believe that any rational, intelligent, and thinking red-blooded American would support the McCain-Palin ticket. What's even more amazing is that a considerable number of Americans are doing just that! WOW! Perhaps my faith in the American People is dangerously misplaced. I hope and pray to God that Dems, Moderates and Independents who know better, and Republicans who know better do not allow McCain-Palin to run this country. At this point, even a Third Party candidate would be better than this horrible ticket!

Well, I'm not buying it. Unless this is more celebrity hype of Sarah Palin showing. I can't accept that most Americans believe the lies coming from McCain. He strikes me as someone who knows this is his last shot at the presidency and he's will to do whatever he can to win it. His own party couldn't get interested or excited about him until Palin came along, and now he thinks he has a real chance.

He is a liar and his reponse on The View about why the campaign has a negative tone says so much about the kind of leader he will be. I'm not willing to take any kind of chance on his sanity/health and I DEFINITELY do not want to see Sarah Palin have to step in as President not even for 1 minute. Just think, if McCain has to go under the knife for any reason, she moves up to #1 for a short time. It's sad, but his ambition is so great and his health is so questionable that he is willing to risk it all by giving us that cocky wacko as #2. I'd have less of an issue with him if had picked Pawlenty or someone else.

I just want to know what is wrong with the American People. The economy is in the worst it has ever had been. Your American solders are still dying for reasons that are not truthful. Your children are suffering because of a lack of educational founding by the Bush administration. Ike is the problem now, but Katrina can't and should never be forgotten. The Republicans has done the something in ever Presidency since Reagan (Cut taxes) and big businesses say they can't provide jobs because they are not getting enough in their (tax brakes). Global Warming is Real and the Polar Bears are becoming endangered if they haven’t already?

Just to be real I will not have a problem going through another sex scandal but I just can not see myself going through another 8 years of any Republican. I lived through the Reagan administration for 8 years and the Daddy Bushes administration for 4 years and believe me 12 years of Republicans was not fun times and it was more than enough. Trusts me I'm speaking from Experience and Education. Every time the Republicans take control of the White House the Job Market goes down. That is nothing of a mystery about why that happens, it is called (Out Sourcing) that is a process of where Big Business hire out for cheep labor across the seas and around the world while receiving (tax brakes )to do so, and big businesses make huge profit . The same thing happens every time a Republican takes control of the White House.

Obama/Biden 2008

This has got to be a joke. I think shameless lying ads like this will undo the momentum of the McCain camp. 'You can't just make stuff up'

Hey I heard that Joe got five deferments and missed Vietnam. I spent two years there and a lot of my friends did as well.

Wonder what Joe was doing?

Haven't heard of Mrs. Osama for awhile. Wonder if she is in the pig pen looking for her man.

Osama is a sexist and has a funny name for our president.

McCain will protect our country and our values. Osama will give a speech.

Thats it! I had it with McCain, my vote now goes with Obama. I thought McCain was better than this. All these recent ads were lies and gross distortions to say the least. I was voting for McCain because I thought he was a man of his word..where is the "straight talk" McCain that I loved from 2000. McCain has no Character left when he think that America is stupid enough to believe these ads he are running. This Republican is voting for Obama!

How can a man & woman call them self a Christian and continue tell lie after lie, they know it's a lie the American people know it's a lie, it's been proven to be a lie, yet they keep telling them.

I don't see any change other than the stealing of another mans ideas.

The only fresh idea keeps coming from the same camp while the other camp hides in the corner with a stolen play book.
Do we really want a pair that will lie to our face and think we are stupid enough to believe the lies?

================we the american people will NOT select
LIARS for the office anymore============

Enough of the same.

john mcliar shame on you

Bump effects fading, lies and hypocrisies catching up.

When the American people realize all the lies and bad judgement by McCain....Obama will win by 15 points with 400 electoral votes.

The Convention Bounce is over, puppets.

Obama for landslide win in November

The polls of this time doesn't make much difference till after the debate and closer to the final election!

AND IF YOU BELIEVE THIS POLL, YOU MOST LIKELY BELIEVE ALL THE REST OF MCCAINS AND PALINS LIES..
OBAMA-BIDEN 08-O9

I guess McCain was so impressed with the way the Republicans successfully Swiftboated him and Kerry, he is now using the tactic himself. I have lost all respect for McCain.

We Americans are very SMART..... we KNOW McCain has SOLD his integrity to win. We know Karl Rove, and George Bush's staff is running the McCain/Palin ticket...we deserve BETTER than this divisive, negative, dishonest ticket. Obama/Biden make us PROUD.

Obama will take the lead again...Palin has some issues and the way she responded to the questions on the ABC interview...I sure would not want her as VP more less President....She's not ready to lead!!!

I just want to know what is wrong with the American People. The economy is in the worst it has ever had been. Your American solders are still dying for reasons that are not truthful. Your children are suffering because of a lack of educational founding by the Bush administration. Ike is the problem now, but Katrina can't and should never be forgotten. The Republicans has done the something in ever Presidency since Reagan, they (Cut taxes) and big businesses say they can't provide jobs because they are not getting enough in their (tax brakes).

Obama/Biden 2008

The Republicans always twist truths and use distractions including lies and deception. The Republicans, in general excluding a few who understand how to distinguish between the lies and see the truth.
this is why you can put McCain and Palin into the same bucket as Bush and Cheney. Especially, when the CEO, COO, and other Rove still campaign managers are on the so called Straight Talk with a crook lip bus/airplane (or one would say HOT AIR BALLOON) trail!
Yes, we all love a Reality Check before we can seriously differentiate between the lines, and if Sarah Palin is seeking the second highest position in Washington, then she is open season just like the rest of all the Political Leaders.

And, when a serious thinking voter in any election wants to research and understand where a candidate stands on all issues and their knowledge, then IT IS MY RIGHT AS A VOTER TO SEARCH OUT AND JUDGE FOR MYSELF BEFORE I CAN MAKE A TRUE AND LOGICAL VOTE.

Therefore distractions do not work with this Voter! I vote with my conscious, clear and concise!

If the McCain Campaign along with their VP Pick can not understand this – Then they better stop with the lies, deception and distraction.

For the Truth will bring this country back!

Senator's Obama and Biden has been open, especially after all the attacks from the media and scrutiny that has been place on them.

I would hope it would be a lot higher. I can't imagine anyone voting for Obama. He is a windbag.

Don't believe him as he lies about our good American, John McCain.

Stop the lying and let's discuss the issues.

Obablaba is dangerous and is a clear and present danger to our way of life. He is risky. Don't gamble with our values.

THE GLITZ HAS TURNED TO TARNISH ON SARAH PALIN AND THE POLLS WILL DROP DAILY GOING FORWARD. GRAVE MISTAKE ON MCCRAZY'S PART TO THINK ALL WOMEN WOULD JUMP ON HIS PALIN BAND WAGON. SHAME ON THE REPUBLICANS FOR NOT VETTING THIS FAKE FRAUD WOMAN BEFORE THEY RAMMED HER DOWN THE THROATS OF THE VOTERS!
CREME ALWAYS RISES TO THE TOP AND OBAMA WILL PREVAIL.

The poll of polls are a useful tool, even when Obama was leading, I really did not pay that much attention, because this is not the primary. Those polls will continue to go up and down.

Fortunately you can't fool all the people all the time. The Straight Talk Express has gone off a cliff and people know it.

The McBush/Palin lies have been pure evil.

He's still ahead!

I'm so happy Americans are waking up and seeing Obama for the fake that he is.

He's flip-floped on virutually every issue, has not taken major stand on anything, and has not accomplished anything.

He's now trying to go negative on McCain, something he said he would not do.

I can't wait to see McCain crush him in the debates and I can't wait to see Obama fall.

McCain/Palin '08

I don't trust the accuracy of polls. This election is different then any other due to cell phones. I also think that the excitement about Palin is going to fade now that she has to answer questions about issues, not just read the same speech every day. The media coverage of her has overshadowed the actual candidates. I'm looking forward to the debates, I'm sure even the polls will reflect the truth when the issues are the topic instead of this Palin soap opera.

MCCAINS DARLING HAS NOW BECOME A HUGE LIABILITY. THIS SHOWS THE NATION THAT HIS SNAP DECISION TO APPOINT MS. PALIN AS HIS RUNNING MATE WAS A WHIM AND SHOWS SUCH POOR JUDGEMENT AND NOW HE WILL PAY THE PRICE. HE IS NOT CAPABLE OF MAKING SOUND JUDGEMENTS IN THE BEHALF OF OUR COUNTRYS WELFARE. PALIN DIDN'T WORK LIKE HE THOUGHT SO NOW HE IS JUMPING ON IMIGRATION. WHAT A LAUGH WHEN IT WAS THE REBUBLICAN PARTY THAT STOPPED THE VOTE LAST YEAR . THIS MAN AND HIS NOW TANISHED LIPSTICK DOLL ARE GETTING MORE DESPARATE AND ARE SINKING LOWER AND LOWER IN THE EYES OF THE VOTERS.

This year registered democratic voters 45 million republican 31 million

Obama can’t get lead why?

Even Sarah Palin under stand how important Hillary is

If Hillary in that ticket this ticket will have double digit lead

Life long democrat and Hillary strong supporter will vote for Mc Cain
Hillary 2012 /Mc Cain/Palin2008

I live in Florida, it is going McCain/Palin, VA is going M/P, NV is going M/P, IND is going M/P, OH is going M/P. Now we only need the close 1 and 2 point polls in MI, PA, 3 point for M/P in NM to increase and it is a landslide for MCain/Palin all because Obama did not pick Hillary.

for those political junkies...check out the new electoral college map at realclearpolitics....Obama team is on its heals and McCain is charging forward with Palin at his side.....signed a former PUMA...
Palosi, Dean. Kennedy turned there backs on Hillary not once but twice by not making her his nominee. Now they will have to wait until 2012 and need Hillary to get the Republicans out of office.....

I find it interesting that Biden made over 300K last year, and only donated $300 or so dollars to charity. For all the talk of service and community and charity on September 11, I think the Obama campaign seems hypocritical on this one.

"The Poll of Polls does not have a sampling error"

Kind of overconfident sounding, don't you think?

Where does Hillary stand in the polls?

She is better than all four candidates put together.

What a sad day for the Nation when we allowed the media, the Obama campaign and the celebrity bandwagon to roll over our democratic right to vote.

This travesty of justice and the irreparable harm to our country because of it will go down in the history books.

Amerika fell for the cute, charismatic, smooth-talking, underhanded dictator.

Is it me or anyone else noticed that Mcain is travelling with Cindy at all his political rallys. I guess he needs her to make sure He takes medication on time and don't loose his temper.

If times were different I could vote for Obama, I'm leaning towards McCain, because of the global situation. I believe as any school kid knows that if your not willing to fight back a bullie will close in for the kill. I don't see that with Obama. As far as McCain he needs to put a leash i.e. limits on Palins person views and her ablility to engage in them as a VP.
My real choice was and is Hillary, she has depth of knowledge in all the facits of the office of the Presidency and I would feel comfortable with her there. So it will most likely be a Republican President and a Democratic Congress check and checkmate they will have to work together for WE the PEOPLE

2012 Hillary

Falwell that great religious Hypocrit said on Lary King live" WE have to kill them over there before they kill us over here. Can you imagine Jesus saying such a thing? He was dead set against stem cell research,becaus acording to him, That would be destrying human life!

Mc Cain says that he is running a Straight Talk campaign but still runs TV ads that are full of half truthsif not out and out lies.He chose a running mate that is just like himself..Please ask yourselves before you vote in Nov....Is your country better off today or was it better off 8 years ago?Clinton did not leave us in this mess it was Bush and 6 years of a Republican Congress.Don't be fooled again with the promise sof a 72 years old man who has had decades in the Senate to change things and hasn't.He may have voted against his party before 2004 but with the promise of the nomination in 2008 has voted with Bush and look where that has gotten us.

LOL, Look who is leading who in the picture... That is worth more than 1000 words or POLLS!

Looks like the post convention bounce it slipping away.....

Unfortunately- since Obama and the DNC swiftboated their party's BEST candidate out of the race- with their obsessive anti-Hillary hate, and their vitriolic vulgar insults- Americans now have choose between two evils.

The DNC better take note and stay out of the business of fixing primaries for their chosen candidate in the future.

Such interference with the democratic process does not UNITE- it divides.

Let's hope that America wakes up to the fact that McCain has resorted to the complete Bush/Rove style smear and lie attack, and rejects it. Finally the media is calling McCain on the various hideous lies and distortions that his campaign has put out. His reputation as a straight talking man of honor is a sham. The polls will hopefully follow suit.
Sarah Palin, as exposed through her recent interviews, does not inspire confidence either. She was reaching for answers on many important domestic and international issues and I thought it frightening to think she could one day be second in line. The debates will expose the republicans for their lack of a true plan to help this country, and the polls will come around.

Im Not Really Going To Believe The Poll Of Polls Until I Actually Get To Participate In One Of Them!

So all you Obama backers do not have to I will give your top two excuses:

1. Poll mean nothing (unless Obama is ahead.)

2. They are not calling cell phone (if they did Obama would be head by 100,000 points and then polls would mean sonething.)

I do not think poll mean much but is it funny how so many Obama backers prasied them when O was up but now do not think poll mean much. LOL

And I remain very confident that Senator Obama is going to win. The Obama team defeated the most powerful and popular Democratic brand in America. His campaign is the most disciplined we've seen in decades. Obama has vision, intelligence, charisma, and diplomacy – a complete severance from the McBush.

Come on Obama!!!! Make it happen. Forget about Palin, she is the flavour of the week, after all of this nonsense fades out, people will start focusing on the top of the ticket and the real issues.

Go back to your original strategy of showing the American people that you are a great leader, that you have what it takes to CHANGE America!!! This whole McCain-Palin ticket is so transparent!!! It was a game changer and shook things up, but the reality is if they are elected in November, America will be doomed!!!

Canadians for Obama!!!

If Palin had not been added to the republican ticket as VP, we would not be seeing that her husband is being subpoened. The democrats are using their dirty tricks to try and get Palin to back down on role as VP but they are not going to win this fight. Palin is a strong woman and she, McCain and the republicans are going to stand up to the democrats and win this election in November. Your dirty Chicago style politics is not going to work this time. Obama only knows how to win by using these dirty tactics.

Its strange how I saw a poll that showed that MCain was leading by 4 points and now CNN has come out with one that favors Obama by just being behind by 1 point. I think CNN is making up their numbers so that its looks better for Obama. He is now on the losing end and he had better get used to that.

Women of America. McCain says life begins at conception. Let me give you an example of his logic. If A man finds a nice bucket and puts an apple seed in it with dirt and water and the seed germinates, and then his wife who uses this nice bucket as a mop bucket and pours out the dirt and seed, the man is furious because, according to him she has destroyed an apple tree! She points out the window at a grove of apple trees and says ,"this was not an apple tree, this was a seed.
Look at the thousands of American boys killed along with the Irakie who for no fault of their own were also killed. These are human beings. They are not seeds!!!!! This loony right wing religeous right have decided they will control the lives of all young American women. It takes only 9 men to decide the way the lives of all these young women
should be controled. McCain will apoint at least 2 supreme court justices who are stupid as he is and goodbye Roe wade.

Watch all the Obamabots scream that the polls are wrong because apparently everyone who owns a cell phone will vote for Barack. Give me a break! Face it, it doesn't make much of a difference. As I recall, Hillary was barely ahead in Texas in the polls (2 or 3 pts) and look who won that primary.

YEA RIGHT!!! HA-HA. YOUR POLLS ARE SUCH A JOKE! figure that – in a yr. when democrats outnumber repubs by 11 million. and outnumber them 5-1 in newly registered voters, and the republican president of the last 8 yrs.

YEA RIGHT!

I think Palin's initial indication that she is ready to go to war with Russia is a good start to her prominence in national politics. I suppose we should start thinking about whom to attack next. I think she should have attacked them when she saw them... she said she could see them from Alaska... what in the world was she waiting for?!

The problem with liberty and justice for all is that sometimes you have to shoot people in order to get them to understand how great it is to live in the land of the free.

We've been in Iraq too long...it's time to attack someone new. Maybe we can't afford to do it, but freedom is not free.

So vote for Palin for president. She knows whom to attack next. Senator Obama hasn't mentioned even one other country we should attack. Go figure.

All Hail to the Baracuda! Please keep her talking…

Why do Americans not take issue with Obama's attitude of superiority and his constant self-serving manner?

His excellent European adventure for glory
Mile High Stadium venue for additional glorification
His messiah rhetoric.

Clearly Obama has begun to believe his own campaign hype about his brilliance and has resorted to self-adulation.

Americans now see McCain as the second ticket, needing youth and vigor of Palin to make the crowds and energy. This scares most level headed voters. Scary too, McCain/Palin lies over and over again.

The McCain/Palin ticket will engage us in prolonged wars, sap our domestic budget, avoid fixing our infrastructure, lower our world standing, and tragically kill innocent Americans who had no choice in saying no to war. I for one am war tired, and wish our service people to return home, and our money to stay home, in the USA, where it is created and belongs.

As a Texan, I voted against George W. Bush four times: twice for governor and twice for president. I recall being amazed and stunned that my fellow voters could not see the obvious fact: that this man was not smart or capable, and that he had terrible judgment.

It's deja vu for me to see that McCain can be anywhere close to Obama in the polls. It never occurred to me that the same voters are apparently willing to do it again. McCain, of course, is more capable than Bush, but he is still a Bishop of the Church of Voodoo Economics, which has brought our nation and our economy to the verge of bankruptcy. McCain is an old man, and he doesn't have four years of 18 hour days left in him. He will rely enormously on his cabinet and his appointees, which will be essentially the same neo-Con crowd – maybe not the same names but the same ideas. And he will bring with him his loose-cannon of a vice president, Gov. Palin, whose political philosophy is to Conservatism what whiskey is to wine. She is way right-wing; far into nut country. She is ambitious, popular, and a political dingbat.

Here we go again!

The poll will be adjusted accordingly after more Palin revealed. Per her in ABC's interview, she paid lobbyst $30K because it's cheaper than flying to Washington. So, there's always a justification for earmark and lobby on her way whenever convenient; and she runs on REFORM. It's a joke, totally, with this VP.

ELECTORAL COLLEGE!

You'd think after 2000 and 2004, CNN would realize there is an electora college and that these "poll of polls" are meaningless, as no President has ever been elected based on the popular vote.

According to CNN's own electoral college map, Obama needs only about 30 electoral college votes to win, while McCain has to come up with nearly a hundred.

So if one "swing state" goes for Obama, then it is all over.

Why the media hypes these "horse race" polls is beyond me. They did the same thing during the primary.

It's the ELECTORAL COLLEGE, people!

During the debates the moderators should hold these two candidates to one word answers, possibly we could tell what they are going to do about our major problems. Bo just rambles on till you can't possibly know the answer, McCain just a little better, but makes you wonder if they know what they are doing.

Isn't anyone else concerned about Obama's sense of self-importance and his self-serving attitude of his own perfection?

For 2 years Obama has been allowed to self-promote, self-agrandize and self-serve with his smug and arrogant comments, his over the top displays and his self-praise.

That is not the humility I seek in a leader.

Actually his cocky bragging based on nothing reminds me of BUSH.

I did not vote for Bush either.

How can this race even be close? Do you really support:

-preemptive war
-torture of prisoners
-warrantless searches of your financial records and personal communications
-borrow and spend deficit economics
-ignoring scientific information in decision-making
-government intrusion into our personal lives
-incompetent management of federal agencies
-dismantling Social Security (make no doubt – that's the result of privatizing
-school vouchers that don't pay enough to allow all students to make a real choice; special needs children? forget about it!
-inadequate veterans benefits
-outsourced jobs
-busted unions

Do you really support the Republican agenda? I don't. I can't. I won't.

These polls are misleading. They do NOT take into account a huge block of voters. That being 18 – 30 year olds who rely on wireless devices and do not have home phones. Overwhelmingly they vote Democrat. That being said, these polls are meaningless. Period.

CNN, you should know better than give credence to skewed polls. When are you going to address this?

Come on, people! Republicans strategies are not going to help you keep your home or lower these ridiculous gas prices. And did you not hear Palin's interview last night?? She was two seconds from tearing up. She has no clue what's going on in policy, in foreign issues, in our economy.

I know a lot of women want to see a woman make history- I'd love to see it too. But make sure it's the right woman.

Obama started going up against him & the Axis of Evil (the GOP), and now the McCain-Palin ticket is being exposed as the absolutely horrifying ticket that it is. The sad part is many people fall for the lies and deceit that make up the political blueprint of the GOP. Hopefully, it'll be different this time around.

OBAMA-BIDEN 2008 – SAVE AMERICA

It will be between 5 and 10 points by November.
People are finally waking up!!!!!!!!!!!

Why doesn't anyone "grill" Obama over what "change" will he bring?

The color of the president doesn't not matter to me- so his being half black is not change to me.

And his mantra of change while running on a thin resume of NO experience, NO qualifications, NO track record is getting tiresome.

When Obama was 49 cnn didn't wanna talk about it, now McCain 1 point up a big news right! keep up cnn your support for McCain.

If the pro-Obama bias continues...

If the left wing attacks on Palin continue...

Obama may continue his decline.

After 2 years many Americans are tired of his self-promoting celebrity campaign.

As McCain's lies and distortions become more publicized (like the reality behind his new stem cell research ad) Obama will continue to gain in the polls.

Fools I tell ya – 4 more years of the rich getting richer.

The newness of Palin is wearing off and Americans are starting to see her for who she really is. They are also starting to see McCain for who he is. Together their ticket is for everything that is wrong for America. The polls are shifting back to Obama's side and we'll see victory in November! Go Obama/Biden '08!!!

Don't know what to think of these polls, as most or all use land lines!!!
This election has seen such heavy/high turnout among young voters who don't have land lines and use cell phones.
So just who are they polling and is this a real snapshot??
Attn: Young and new voters, please VOTE!!!!!!
Barack the Vote!!!!!

We shall overcome. And when Obama is in the white house – We have overcame!

WHAT DID I TELL YOU FOLKS!

IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS McCAIN LOST 1% POINT!

JUST IGNORE THESE MANIPULATIVE POLL OF POLLS!

The bounce from the Palin sideshow begins to subside, as people pay attention to what she's saying (and not saying) which reveals what a lightweight looney she is.

The so-called Palin effect is a delusion going by the unmatched ground work the Obama campaign is doing.If the Republicans are relying on these polls they should expect a political cyclone coming their way.
Besides the campaign of lies will wreck them sooner or later.

America is starting to open the minds up after drinking the SARAH JOAN OF ARC PALIN Koolaide !!!

Polls, goota love them, they make bout as much sense as our presidental canidates. Both sides promise change, promise this and that. wke up people your vote counts for nothing. The ELECTORAL COLLEGE decides who will be the President. So how is your vote going to count, I do not even waste time voting anymore, got better things to do. Get rid of the electoral college and then i will vote.

Who do we chose from a senile old idiot, or a young fool.

Another Republican campaign based on lies, deception and slime.
And how many Americans are buying it? Then we wonder why our economy is in a downhill spiral. Please, may I have these phone numbers...I have some snake oil I'd like to sell!

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!
