Dont listen to Limbaugh,he is bought and paid for by big oil.

NJ see that REAL CHANGE is what we Americans need, not lies and deceit. We need some help and Palin/McCain will not be for the good of common folks.

NEW JERSEY IS SMART!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GO OBAMA!!!

Obama's up everywhere… Thank you, and goodnight

ONE NATION

The Republican liars will be handily defeated in November. All those that voted for Bush and the Republican culture of corruption are responsible for the fiasco we now find ourselves in. Yet…a voter won't take responsibility for pulling the lever in the voting booth. But yes..all Republicans are responsible for trashing and decimating this country.

"As a NJ resident and a Democrat, I will not be voting for BO or any of the Democrataic ticket."

If I had a dime for every paid McCain campaign blogger who pretended to be a disillusioned Democrat, I could fill my Hummer's gas tank for a year.

The headline title seems a "bit" misleading. The actual data shows the lead in New Jersey has fallen recently. The headline at first glance seems to being telling us the he has a new/bigeer lead. Are you run by the same people who run "US" magazine. Please give us an honest title to the article. How about something like, "Obama lead shrinks in New Jersey". Don't you think this more accurately conveys the content of the article. He is leading and the lead is shrinking.

I'm a democrat/independent, but those of us who know the Garden State realize that NJ is completely up-for-grabs this election. Plenty of NJ folks are upset at the Democratic Governor for raising tolls and the sacred sales-tax (a huge no-no). Corzine is doomed next election, and many NJ folks may take out that aggression on Obama.

Love My USA – wow you just named the reasons I could not in good conscience vote for the reputhiclans. By the way – it is very difficult for the dems in the house and senate to do anything with the constant filibusters by the repugs and the endless vetoes of the pres who has used his veto over 500 times in the last two years. Go check the facts. But you won't, your obviously a repugclian.

It's sad for Dems if we have to celebrate the fact that Obama is up 7 in NJ. It's NEW JERSEY for crying out loud!!! Hillary would have been up 20 right now and wouldn't have had to spend time and money shoring up support in what is obviously a blue state.

Guys, we all know CNN, MSNBC, ABC are in the tank for Obama. The more these guys are biased towards Obama – better it is for Mccain- Palin. People are disgusted with these channels and biased media. And it is showing. Its like out right hatred towards them. And looking at falling TRP ratings and viewer ship shows how low they have gone.

FOOLS, STOP TELLING US WHOM TO VOTE- WE KNOW BETTER THAN YOU.

The republicans need to stop whining and playing the victim card. Truly, it is getting old and it is incredibly transparent. All they're doing is trying to fabricate a false sense of media bias so they can discredit any report that points out the lies the McCain/Palin campaign is selling the American public.

It's over for Obama. Look at the electoral map at Real Clear Politics. During the last of the Democratic Primary season, Obama was losing all of the latest races and yet the super delegates failed to do their job and choose the candidate that could have won. In the final analysis, the thought of Obama, Reed, and Pelosi leading our great country will push the average citizien away from the Democrats and will result in a landslide for McCain.

What's next, CNN, report on Obama up in California and Vermont and McCain up in Oklahoma and Nebraska?

Is this news or just a way to give your Chosen One some positive spin since his national numbers are falling?

CNN, your intellectual dishonesty is 2nd only to MSNBC. You fail to mention that Obama's 7 point lead is LESS than what it was previously. He has slipped in the polls in most every state…so it that why you picked one with a 7 point lead to make it appear that he is doing well?

You guys are pathetic and losing credibility with informed Americans.

McCain had a nice bounce comming-out of the convention, but what goes up must come down and when the ball tries to bounce, trust this time it will be FLAT.

SNLs Amy Potholder taught me a new High School boys bathroom word:
Ferg. And it appears that 's what's happening to Obama in the New Jersey polls.

BTW: SNLs demographic is getting younger & younger so toilet humor is all Tina & Amy serve up got to keep tweenies and HS boys glued to the set.

Aha CNN doesn’t have any news today
New Jersey !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Always democratic party states

It will only get better when Palin is found guilty for abuse of Power, and she goes out on her own!

I'm sure McCain is a good father, husband, and grandpa, but he is 72! He may be good as a drinking buddy and telling war stories, but the President? Come on folks. I have no comment on Palin because I don't know of her and what I've heard thusfar leaves me very worried. My 6th grade teacher was more qualified than she is.

In an August 13th poll, Quinnipiac had Obama ahead by 10 points. Now it has Obama ahead by 3 as whites have shifted from Obama to McCain.

CNN IS SO EXCITED ABOUT THIS FALSE NEWS THAT it looks like OB runs for president on behalf of CNN, what a crazy media…..

We've got a lot of deranged people in this country. Amazing that people, regardless of their political party affiliation, are still considering voting for the Dishonorable McCain/Palin slate. Loyalty to the ideas of a party is okay, blind loyalty to anything is a mental disease. It's like being a slave by one's own hand.

Just face it: U.S. voters will not vote for a "person of color" for president. All they need to vote for the other side is an excuse such as "they chose a woman for VP – of course I am going to vote for them". It doesn't matter what the other party stands for – at the end, the only matter of importance will be skin color.

To all those who are blaming the democratic congress for this mess just remember who has been in charge for the past 7 plus years and who MUST sign any new law so it can go into effect. Our belove it Presiden Bush!

THE POLLING ORGANIZATIONS NEED TO BE HELD ACCOUNTABLE FOR CHANGING THE PEOPLE THEY HAVE BEEN SURVEYING LATELY.

IT'S UNETHICAL TO MANIPULATE THE AMERICAN PUBLIC WHILE CHANGING THE SAMPLE. SOMEONE HAS TO ANSWER TO THIS!!!

Some advice from your neighbour to the north…to many polls to many theorys and opinions. Why not report the NEWS as it happens and let the people decide who to vote for. Canada is having an election October 14th…I will listen to the candidates and decide who to vote for…not a News Team on Television. By the way CNN should be spending more time on the real issue of the day…the help for those in need after the recent hurricanes.

According to AP Obama leads McCain in New York by 5 points. Wow!

This comment is directed to Love MY USA….I"m not sure what state of NJ that you live in but please tell me what bridge do you pay $4.00 to cross. You can't be referring to a bridge to cross into NYC. All bridges to NYC are a minimum of $6.00.

You must be referring to that "BRIDGE TO NOWHERE" that costs $4.00. Last I checked, that bridge has nothing to do with NJ…..LMAO!!!!

Obama will WIN in NJ……

If this were an honest publication, they would inform you that Obama is losing ground in New Jersey, and most everywhere else.

Stop carrying water for Obama CNN!!

The American people want a real President, not one the media has propped up and pushed on us!!

McCain/ Palin '08!!!!!

Hey Love MY USA

soooooooooooooooo your suggestion is give the entire country to a man thats out of touch and his VP who is clueless ………………?

is that what your saying……………………………….WOW your bright

New Jersey Dem for Obama

Mccain Palin are two of the dumbest politicians I have ever seen. If you support them then you are probably pretty stupid too.

I really think Obama is much further ahead in the polls than any media outlet will report.

I refuse to believe that we are stupid enough to keep the country in such incompetent hands as the republicans.

It's not good for ratings to report a landslide, though, so the media has to keep the polls close.

John McCain has not attended any event in NJ because he does not consider NJ voters to be important. He is everywhere but.

Alaskan Governor Palin is no Hilary. No comparison. She is pretty, all right. And I see McCain campaign is using her effectively not because she is of substance, which Hilary was/is, but because she is a woman and maybe some of us foolish women who used to Hilary might be fooled into supporting Palin because of her gender. Talk about sexist politics!!!

No way. No how. No McCain. No Palin!!!

OHAMA NEBRASKA IS THE KEY TO VICTORY FOR OBAMA.

HERE IN NEBRASKA IT IS NOT WINNERTAKE ALL ELECTORATE VOTE.

OBAMA IS GUARANTEE ONE ELECTORAL VOTE HERE IN OMAHA WHICH WILL PUT HIM OVER THE TOP.

YOU CAN MANUFACTURED ALL POLLS OBAMA WILL WIN HAND OFF.

Remove the Electoral College, and this would not even be news! The Popular Vote should be the force that determines elections…each voter's vote counting equal to another's vote across the county.

Baldwin/Castle 08!

Ah yes NJ, the garbage state, with it's radical garbage Left-Wing populous, and some of the nation's most corrupt state politics under a garbage Left-Wing plutocratic dictatorship. No big surprise that the brainwashed people of NJ support big Left-Wing Chicago garbage for President. Is this article suppose to be news worthy? NJ always votes Left.

Why is it that Left-Wing states all historically have had the same problems for years? – high taxes / high cost of living, highest electric rates, high rates of violent crime, high levels of state corruption, the worst public school systems, highest levels of illegal alien populations, and some of worst environmental records. Yeah, sounds like those Left-Wing policies are just what the rest of the country needs too – (failed Left-Wing moronic schemes, and more tax & spend).

Don't forget mention that NJ has some of the most rudest, apathetic, and elitist people in the entire country – typical behavior of radical Left-know-it-alls.

These polls don't mean diddly. The poll which counts will be taken on November 4! Make sure you are registered to vote. Sign up for your absentee ballot if needed. And VOTE!

We can't handle another four years of a Senate and White House like we've had the previous eight!

Once the LUSTER is taken off Gov. Palin by the American public getting a REAL idea of who she is, what she really believes in, and how she really is not experienced enough to be V.P. There will be more states leaning OBAMA….Just wait…

New Jersey shows that a majority of the voters in that state are intelligent.

Look at the issues. Look at our economy. Sort out the lies.

We Won't Get Fooled Again.

CNN: tell us a little more. What percentage of these results had land-lines? cell-phones?

Whooohooo !!! Obama is on the rebound and will win because America realizes that Obama is the best answer for the economy and McSame has supported Bush 90% of the time and will continue with the same fundamental policies that got us into this economic disaster !!! It's a new beginning.

Vote Obama-Biden !!

Please CNN…….. the polls are becoming just plain silly! WE KNOW ITS GOING TO BE A TIGHT RACE……..IT IS A TIGHT RACE.

The thing is that there are a lot of people who are still on the fence (my husband for one). There are also a lot of people who can not be polled, those millions with cell phones, this includes a vast number of adults in their 40's and 50's. Cell phones have changed things for pollsters.

I am praying and hoping that America will wake up! And that we will look around and SEE ALL the FAILURES OF THE BUSH/CHENEY/MCCAIN/GOP TENURE (YEARS) AND SAY………..ENOUGH!

polls are polls and worth nothing.
What is important is the Nov 4th outcoming and it will be a landslide victory for Obama, believe it or not. Well there were times, polls for him raised, now they fall, and after the debates they will raise again!

Polls are for sorry loosers! who don't understand statistics! figures dont lie people figure how to lie!!

He is NOT going to win even NJ,with its damest population in the nation !!!
The white people are lying to the polsters for fear of being deamed as "racists".This is the truth…

We're going to see his lead growing nationwide from here on out. People are starting to pay attention. The convention bounces are behind us. The truth about Palin is coming out. The economy is in the tank and people are too smart to think that McCain/Bush's economic policies can fix it when they broke it.

Go Obama.

Obama up 7 in Joisey… dat ain't nuttin ta doowop over. Know what I'm sayin'? Sides, Obama losin' groun, not gainin'!
Whatsamatta wit you people?

As a NJ resident and a Democrat, I will not be voting for BO or any of the Democrataic ticket. For two years we have had a do nothing Democratic Congress and Senate. Not to mention a Gov. who not only is raising our taxes, but just recently raise our Bridge tolls by $1.00. Now $4.00 to cross the bridge.

Democrats are full of propaganda and deceit.
No to the tickets of Democrats in NJ.

You republicans are upset because you can see your candidate and his barbie going DOWN!

Forget the polls today. Why is Gov. Palin so angry and bitter. Who is she so mad at. According to the "Legend of Sarah" she is leading a charming and rigous life. Wonderful. But CNN, how much is a gallon of gas on average in Alaska?

It is Clear in this Election the Only Choice is Obama Biden! Mccain voted against raising Minimum wage, Voted Against Healthcare Reform, Voted Against, More Funding for Education Programs and Schools, Voted aginst Equal Pay for Women. How can you choose a women running Mate but women in this Country don't have the right to get paid equally for a hard day work? Obama Biden the Crystal Clear Choice in this Election Don't Let Racism Decide your Vote!

Hit a HOME RUNE OBAMA!

Obama is up by7 points in new jersey? He must be losing ground in new York? lMcCain must be doing good in the blue states . New jersey 7 points lead for obama is big news? Come on c n n you can do better then that.

NJ, can you please talk some common sense into your NY neighbors?

Obama lost ground in the very blue state of NJ .. that's the point.

Political Ticker: How about a real story. How about a story on the "racist" Obama waffles sold at the Values Summit convention last week. The waffles that a well known CNN TV HOST bought and said " My wife will really like these" Unbiased reporting and coverage on CNN…prove it.

He's up in N.Y. too but not as much as it was a few weeks ago. We need so called Democratic leaders in the Big Apple and Long Island to shake a leg before the demon overpowers us once more.

It's nice that Obama is doing well in this poll…. but, is anybody else fatigued by all these polls being done on a daily basis?

How much can a poll change from one day to the next?

CNN would do better listing how many people actually are polled in the "Poll of all Polls"…..less than 3500 people….. we are not stupid… Instead of writing this article why dont you cover how Barbara Walters made McCain eat his own words…..give me some real news…

It is obvious that when people wake up and smell the pig stink they will realize that O'bama/Biden is the fresh smell they want and need to vote for !!

I live in this state, it would vote even Osama over a republican.

This state is very blue, people are selfish, mean, rude, angry, and hateful. They have not an ounce of common courtasy in a state such as North Carolina, where by no coincidence McCain is up 20 points.

Go spend a week in COUNTIES where Obama is up big and ones where McCain is up big. You will see there is two Americas, and the blue America is the worst of our nation and the red is an America that is worthy of being proud of.

I dare CNN to post this truth, I mean if you post Obamabots talking about killing Palin and her family, why would you not post this?

JERSEY……..STAND UP………….

BARACK THE VOTE PEOPLE

INCREASINGLY OBAMA IS SHOWING A WHOLE LOT OF ANGER AND HATRED AND HE IS INCREASINGLY REMINDING ME OF REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT.
Perhaps we should not be surprised.
Obama spent 20 years with his pastor and the Trinity United Church of Christ.. A church built on the Fundamentals of Hatred, Racism, and Sexism.

OBAMA's CHICKEN ARE COMING HOME TO ROOST !!!!!!.

desperate for real change, not stolen slogans.
this election in a metaphor- you are America, and have cancer….John McCain is a Doctor who lied about his credentials, saying he graduated from Yale but really got a diploma off line, has numerous malpractice suits and has lost 80% of his patients.
Obama is a younger Doctor who not only graduated from Harvard, but was asked to teach there as well, has numerous degrees, choose to take care of low income people before going to work at a major hospital, Obama is a specialist McCain a quack…who would you want taking care of you?

As the Palin lies come out and the McCain campaign is constantly called out for its lies by the media, which I must say I'm glad CNN is finally holding McCain to account as well as Palin, the numbers will improve across the country. This is not a beauty contest where you can reinvent yourself, your campaign or your record.

Although NJ is clearly going to Obama, it does have some very republican parts of the state. My county system is very Republican, as well as some other McMansion parts of the state.

The higher the favor for Obama, the better shot we have at capturing certain districts in the House. Our 3rd and our 7th are HUGE races this year, and hearing he's up universally is still good for state poitics.(and in turn, Congressional politics)

Folks — Don't you understand—
He has no clue !!
He's ranting and raving—
Until we change the Congress both Dems and Repubs — Nothing is going to change except porkbelly funds going to special interests on both sides—
We need Term Limits on the Congress SAY 12 Years—
Then we will have a shot at the "PEOPLE FIRST "

Ryan .. NJ is a very diverse state that represents what the country looks like. It is also a very blue state. NJ also chose Hillary and there is a ton of Independent voters.
The Democratic Gov. Corzine has a low approval rating and if Christie runs against him in November it will be a close race. That spells trouble for Obama. In NJ Obama should be up by a lot more than 7 … that's the point.

they need to keep it on Ohio, Mich, Colorado, Nev, MN, and maybe 1-2 more thats it, the rest are going to go the way they always go. This is mainly because liberals and conservatives have been moving to states where they are the majority and not the minority. I think we need to keep an eye on the newly registered voter numbers in these states and the youth vote…the two things polls are not counting.

This blog is for the far left who will never change their mind and gives them a place to vent and feel like they are contributing—
People who do not agree are usually working trying to make a life while most people here are trying to get one—
The truth hurts but thats it–

We are not going to share our wealth with Losers—
It won't happen—
Jobs will really go overseas if Obama Wins and puts his new taxes in place–then will take away from Jobs—
But technically — he won't tax them just lose jobs for them–

Why is this news? Hey, McCain is up in Texas! Big news huh? McCain still up in the average of all polls.

For those who don't have a clue, your chosen one should be ahead by 12-15 points, its only 7 points folks … the almighty is still slippin…

Wow what a shock! A Democractic state voting Democratic.

If it was HILLARY/OBAMA OR OBAMA/HILLARY this election would have been a SLAM DUNK…for the DEMOCRATS…I am still undecided now that HILLARY has been pushed out of this race…….Jersey has a lot of CATHOLICS that believe OBAMA cannot get the job done!!!!!!

As an Obama supporter and a Jersey Boy (born in Montclair), all I can say is way to go, Garden State!!!!

seriously whats the point of this article?? New Jersey isn't a battleground state…. tell us about the battleground states not a state that obviously would go to Obama… geez. Cnn you lose dignity with articles like this.

So what? That's like telling us McCain has a lead in Texas.

What next? Are you going to tell us Obama is ahead in California?

Why don't you tell people that Obama lost his lead in Pennsylvania, and it's now listed as a tie?

You're really hurting to make your golden child look like he's doing well, CNN.

Why not a poll of polls that shows McCain up in NC? GA? AL? FL? CNN, your bias is showing, and it is disgusting. You want to put info up on the ticker about how the Dems are doing to make them look good. Go ahead. You should do the same about the Republicans. My comment will not be posted, and I do not care. I support McCain/ Palin, and these types of tactics from the MSM only ensure victory for the Republicans.

Why doesn't CNN tell us about the Florida change? That's a bigger electoral state than New Jersey. But I suppose Florida is now showing for McCain so its not news for CNN. Only when there is a change to the Obama side we see CNN showing it as a news item but when the change is for McCain we do not hear anything about it.

CNN, by you doing this is not going to win Obama the election. The voters out there are not gullible because we know that you are being biased to Obama. SHAME SHAME ON YOU CNN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Good job Garden State…I hope every other state like Jersey and California will see the hole through this phoney McSurge and miss Barbie!

I wonder what happened to his campaign slogan surge! What it wasn't working so he chose change ehn?

considering it has 15 electoral votes for such a small state, a lot more then montana, south dakota, north dakota. I think its not a good idea for mccain to skip jersey

Way to go…more people are waking up!

Look at the polls 10/4-10/7 to get a better idea of how the election will eventually go.

This just in: New York is leaning Obama also!

Good for Obama and Biden, lets bring the beauty queen and John down on their knees. Sarah said the war in Iraq was a task from God. Hopefully it will be a task of God to take these two out of the election.

I am glad to see the people of New Jersey aren't being fooled by the usual GOP tactics… Way to go Garden State!!!!

The more this presidential race unfolds, the more terrified I get over the prospect that McCain/Palin could win in November. I don't know what America is thinking if it puts these two in the White House. We have gone "to the dogs" during the 8 years that George Bush has been President and we will absolutely slide off the map if John McCain and Sarah Palin are elected as our leaders. We have lost our image as the strongest country in the world and we will only be at the mercy of other countries if we don't wake up and make a change!!!!! America, wake up! We can make a difference and dig ourselves out of this quagmire that we now find ourselves in. If McCain is elected President, we need to follow "God Bless America" with "God Help America". We will be the laughing stock of the world!!!!!!

Hopefully this is the start of an upward trend for Obama!

And how much was Obama up last month in NJ?

CNN—you must think we are stupid.

I have three brothers-in-law in New Jersey. It gives me a lot of pleasure to know that their votes for McCain/Palin won't count for anything in the general.

Obama/Biden '08 and beyond!

She won't talk to reporters, she won't cooperate with a legal inquiry into her actions, and then the republicans wonder why people question her ability as if it's because she is a female. WAKE UP FOOLS.

I personally don't have any respect for CNN's 'Poll of Polls' because it's always in such stark contrast to all other polling institutions that have made polling their sole business long before CNN was even conceived.

I wonder if you'll have the guts to retract your lofty claims after McCain takes New Jersey in a landslide.

You guys still haven't come clean about the finding of 550 metric tonnes of Uranium Yellowcake in Iraq, effectively debunking the whole "Lies led to War" garbage.

Try just reporting the news instead of shaping it.

McCain/Palin '08

THE GARDEN STATE LETS CONTINUE TO LEAD THE CHANGE MACHINE……………………………………

NO FLUFF…………………………

NO LIES………………………

JUST THE FACTS ABOUT THE ISSUES………………………………………

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Yes, yes, and yes. Let's take our country back and get rid of the McCain/Palins of the world. They stink.

REGISTER NEW VOTERS TODAYS

J.E.R.S.E.Y. S.T.A.N.D. U.P.

MY HOME TOWN IS FILLED WITH REAL COMMON SENSE.

UNLIKE SOME "OTHER" REGIONS FILLED WITH BACKWARDS PEOPLE WHO SCREW US EVERY ELECTION….

(cough) florida (cough)

NJ usually goes Democratic, so whats new.

About time CNN reports a state in favor for obama, I wonder if the CNN polls conducted actually take into account actual registered voters and not random people being questioned.

And i'm sure we are growing leads in other states as well. So Minnesota can be a toss up. After the backlash of McSame's economy comments, we'll have leads in alot more states.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

next, ohio and then michigan, and then florida… Yes, we can finally send that hating usa gop home jobless.

Finally, NJ is good for something! haha

Our economy is in great despair. Only average Americans know because they are being affected the most. New Jersey is smart for supporting Obama. McCain could care less because his wife is worth 100 million.

One of the unspoken but critically important aspects of this race is race. 8% of voters surveyed said that they wouldn't vote for a black man for President NO MATTER WHAT. This is essentially the racist voter that McCain can count on. Now if there are 8% of Americans that are willing to admit this to a pollster, how many do you think have the same view but aren't willing to admit that they are essentially racist to a pollster? Most pundits estimate that the number is about 15%. This, more than anything explains why Obama has a slim lead in an election year that should be an easy landslide victory for the Democrats. I mean really, what SINGLE success do Republicans have to point to during the G.W. years? Economy? Immigration? Foreign Relations? Environment? Energy? Exactly. That's why McCain doesn't want to talk about any of them.

I hope we can overcome the racist vote margin and see the right man get in office. Let's not move our country backward.

NJ who cares? hasnt that always been a blue state.. shouldent Obama be up by like a 20pts there…

Yep, NJ for OBAMA – All the Way

New Jersey Rocks!!!

Go Obama!!

Oh and by the way, the ads they play in Philly are heard by half of New Jersey, so he has not exactly ignored it.

NO PLAN, NO CLUE, NO MCCAIN, NO PALIN

I womder why CNN always "cherry picks" the polls? Is it because they want to arrive at a particular conclusion. Check the Rasmussen and Zogby polls (both gold standard), one has it at 3 points and the other 5 points.If you want to get fair and balanced reporting, go to Fox news. The last ratings had Fox in 2nd place, CNN in 14th place and MSNBC in 27th place.

Speaking of polls, my true blue state of NY has Mcain gaining on Obama. Obama had an 18point lead in June and now, a mere five point advantage as we speak. Yikes, the last time NY voted red was during Reagan. If I was in the Obama camp I would be seriously concerned here.

If we could only transplant some of them to Florida to dilute the Flori-duh factor.

All because McCain is an idiot and so is his girlfriend Palin. I wonder what she did for him during the 6 hours they spent together prior to him offering her the VP slot.

I want obama

you must be kidding me does it really matter this is new jersey

Thanks New Jersey

Obama/Biden

Unbelievable how many still support McCain. US citizens so easily swallow the lies. Are people becoming cynical ? Why there is so little anger about the past years Republican policies.

Obama is going to win NJ but a landslide.

Of course he has a lead in a far left state.

Um, duh! Its Jersey….

McCain has voted with Bush at least 90% of the time.
Obama has voted against Bush at least 90% of the time.

McCain makes an issue out of Obama not "going against" his party. Why should Obama do that? Its the Republican party and its' policies that are misguided. Obama has had little or no reason to vote against Democratic legislation.

New York, and absolute must win state for dems. NY polls since summer, Obama up 23 points in May. Down to 18, down to 13, down to 8, down to a dismal 5 point lead in NEW YORK STATE YESTERDAY!!!!!!!

Biden goes out and answers questions about the economy on morning news shows today. McCain goes out and answers questions about the economy on morning news shows today. Where is Obama? Oh, he brought his teleprompter back out on the stump with him and he's hiding from the press. Interesting.

Thank you NJ voters…… Come on FL voters…..let's put Obama up by 7 here. McCain/Palin is Bush number 44….. 41 was good…..43 was the worst president in history….44 will have us in a 3rd war within 6 months.

Why talk about NJ here? Did you feel the need to talk about New Jersey for some reason? McCain leads in a bunch of states, and Obama leads in a bunch of states. Why is NJ all of the sudden in this ticker??? Why not pick another random state like Missouri where McCain has a 5 point lead, or like Iowa, where Obama is up by 10, or Pennsylvania, where Obama is up by 1, or Florida where McCain is up by 6. Why New Jersey????

Obama and Biden is the Clear choice in this Election But if You want another White House of Lies and Secretacy Mccain and Lying Palin is your Ticket HOw can Palin reformer Goverment if she Won't even Particpate in a Subpoena from the Court? Mccain and Palin the Liars We Don't Need in Our WHite House! Obama BIden 08 Donate to Obama and the Democratic Party!

YAHOO! Way to go Barack! Keep on chugging. Please stay POSITIVE -

I am soooooooo sick of polls. they change constantly. nothing to get worked over about.

For the life of me how anyone could believe anything Mcsenile and the pitbull says is beyond me.

GIVE 'EM HELL, BARRY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great, wake up America. John doesn't care about us and isn't concerned about the economy. Why should he care, he's got gazillions and doesn't know how many homes he owns.

Also, he's been in office for 26 years. The only time he's shows concern is when he running for office again. He pretends he cares, Cindy Lou runs to Africa for photo opts, and John gets re-elected.

Wake up America.

Hey New Jersey! Get on board the McCain/Palin express! Don't get left behind! McCain/Palin will bring you prosperity and infuse honest government for the people. Barak will bring you false promises and higher taxes!

And it will only go higher!

McCain ; “We have seen self interest, greed, irresponsibility and corruption undermine the hard work of the American people".

Finally something true out of this man's mouth.

His party is guilty of all his accusations, since Republican have held the WH and a majority of Congress, for the last 6 of the 8 years
.
We truly cannot afford 4 more years of this know nothing.

McCain: ”We will stop multi-million dollar payouts to CEOs who have broken the public trust”.

Does this mean that Carly Fiorina your new BFF, who took $21 million in cash as her departing gift after running HP into the ground, will be tendering her resignation?

Oops, hope that wasn‘t “sexist“.

Thank God.

thats bc some Americans are smart and not taking the REPEAT
Wake up Americans!!!
Palin and her husband NOT responding to legalities remind you of someone *BUSH CHENEY AND THE BUSH ADMINISTRATION
who all think they are above the law and change the constituion to their liking
This is not about a beauty and popularity contest!!!
this is about YOU and taking your country back not 4 more years of the SAME
vote for Obama-Biden

I hope Obama/Biden will win in landslide,,,,no pathological liars in the WH…..gooooooo obama/biden.

Why does a so called "maverick" like John McCain need to embrace the tactics of distortion, of outright lies in the current political race that looks as if it has become as down and dirty as any election in recent years? Doesn't a maverick refuse to join the herd, to march to a different drummer? If John McCain has already employed the tactics of the last eight years of the Bush administration (lies and deceit as in Iraq's WMD or that Iraq was responsible for 9/11), hasn't McCain already shown that his administration (should he win the election) will simply be a continuation of the untruths and distortions that are a hallmark of George Bush and Company?

Great, but why is CNN not highlighting this? Boy, when it's McCain who is ahead of the polls, you see it on the front page and in big, bold letters. Why, is CNN now a Republican Channel?

NJ RULES!

Thank you, God!!!

Thanks you, God!!!

New Jersey, understand this:

WHILE campaigning in public for a speedy withdrawal of US troops from Iraq, Sen. Barack Obama has tried in private to persuade Iraqi leaders to delay an agreement on a draw-down of the American military presence.
According to Iraqi Foreign Minister Hoshyar Zebari, Obama made his demand for delay a key theme of his discussions with Iraqi leaders in Baghdad in July.
"He asked why we were not prepared to delay an agreement until after the US elections and the formation of a new administration in Washington," Zebari said in an interview.
Obama insisted that Congress should be involved in negotiations on the status of US troops – and that it was in the interests of both sides not to have an agreement negotiated by the Bush administration in its "state of weakness and political confusion."
"However, as an Iraqi, I prefer to have a security agreement that regulates the activities of foreign troops, rather than keeping the matter open." Zebari says.
Though Obama claims the US presence is "illegal," he suddenly remembered that Americans troops were in Iraq within the legal framework of a UN mandate. His advice was that, rather than reach an accord with the "weakened Bush administration," Iraq should seek an extension of the UN mandate.

I love NJ. A lot of smart people there.

GO OBAMA!!

CNN are sure it is ok with McCain reporting the story. I watched John try to pick at Sen. Biden this morning. it sure looked like he didnot agree with the Dems income tax hike for his tax bracket. Please try to be impartial in reporting it is unprofessional tha try to bias voters.

Obama / Biden 08

Yes yes yes!!

Cnn will not put a lot of comments on the blog.We should stop watching these news station that do not tell the truth.

and we are off! The race is on and we are going to win it.

Anothe state that sees through the lies of the McCain/Palin ticket!!

WAKE UP, AMERICA!! VOTE SMART… NOT SENILE!!!

i cant wait until obama goes to alaska and campaigns. he has more support there ,than people think. palin has made many enemies there.

I would think that many Obama backers will like poll, but when the ones showing Mccain a head the old "not polling cell phones" line will come out.

So funny!

Clearly, N Jersey is hurting from problems in the NY financial district.

You go New Jersey, keep up the great work! It's funny but as backwards as my state of West Virginia is, I see quite a few Obama stickers and signs but none of mccain/palin. I know there are some serious rednecks here but not everyone here is being fooled. Hooray for West Virginia!

mccain/palin = proven pathological liars

Oh please this state is going to Obama…now CNN why are you and the rest of the media not jumping all over Palin's refusal to answer and field questions? Everyone can see whats going on and you are doing nothing about it. If this were Biden he would be flamed in the media for not talking! This election as most of us can see is being setup, either intentionally or not. Palin is some kind of media darling and it's not cute anymore. She is a danger to US as americans, not only in her beliefs but her lack of knowledge. I think Matt Damon was right "this could be a bad Disney movie.

Veterans for Obama

I believe Johnny Mac and Caribou Barbie should lose the "Barracuda" and start learing the words to "Landslide" by Fleetwood Mac because it is going to bury them very soon…

Are you guys desperate for good news!!??

polls are not accurate. I can't wait to see all the blue over america!

John Mccain missed the civil rights movement due to him being a POW.
