CNN

floridian here voting for barak obama, and each and every day, i am using the facts and lies to make people see that real change can only come from obama... mccain will not win florida

side note: imo, republicans, the presidency is a big buisness dealwhere a few get richer at the cost of an overwhelming majority of americans (some of whom are supporting their own demise = idiots).. to democrats, the presidency is a way be make life better for all americans.

Obama's campaign is doing a great job on discussing the issues at their rallies, ads, T.V., etc. All McLiar can discuss is fundraisers with celebs. His jealousy is showing. These numbers will keep going up and up and up and up, especially after the debates when Senator Obama will wipe the floor with Senator McLiar.

IF McCAIN TAKES ON THE "REAL" ISSUES, HE WILL LOSE . . .

So McCain must continue the "Slime & Sleaze" machine to have a chance against Obama & Biden.

Neither McCain nor Obama will do anything to change abortion rights. Why do some "conservative" fools vote based on this one issue alone? Christian values require much greater consideration (the sick and poor, war, equal rights, neighborly negotiations, etc).

Anyone who thinks Palin has more experience than Obama needs to have their head examined.

McCain is getting tired as someone pointed out. I knew at the end Obama would beat the brakes of him.

It would be huge if Obama could win Florida. Lets go Blue FLA!!!

Obama/Biden 08!!!

We don't need the repugs to rile us up. We the Dems have been taking the high road, we don't need to attack because we are stronger have more regestered voters. We feel good about our canidate and we are going to win fair and square, now how long has it been since an election was won fair and square, it's been awhile. Barack and Joe are going to right this ship.

If it is tied then McCain is about 5-6 points ahead as in these states there are many whites who will not say in in public but they will not vote for a black man

The executive experience that Palin has is being seen for what it is:

A track record of corruption, sending economies into economic disaster and adopting a stay at home employee status while fraudulently ripping off tax payers. I have executive experience, I've seen governors on my tv screen. Get a clue, she's a disaster and a failure, just like her papa john! The only thing either of these two have ever succeeded in, is ripping off the american people and telling lies with a straight face.

Now she sues to stop the investigations. Her guild is obvious, innocent people do not need to hide anything.

Catholics for Obama/Biden 08'.

Hurricane palin, can you read? Obama is leading in most battleground states where as last week he was down almost 10 points. So much for Palin disrupting Obama's groove.

We don't want 5 colleges in 6 years, we want educated people as president.
Republicans for Obama/Biden

Yeah I see the polls but I have not been polled either JayInNewHampshire so I guess that is two of us. I guess as of right now we are a part of the few that actually have our heads attached to our bodies.

I live in Florida and the only thing that can explain this in Florida is heat stroke of the minds in some of the Floridians. I sure hope people are voting for the right reasons!!!!

If you are still supporting McCain, then it is quite obvious that you believe that our economy is doing great. You believe that we have no immigration problem, and that our foreign policy is dead on. If you believe any of this to be wrong, then you disagree with the policies that McCain has been promoting for the last several years. He voted for the economic policies we currently have. McCain favors government bailouts and government ownership of private businesses. McCain has been a big part of shaping our current immigration policies. And McCain has trumpeted the war in Iraq from the very beginning. In other words, if you still support McCain, you have no right to complain about our country as it is now.

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
Polls truly mean nothing…Just wait until November 4th when all the 18-30 years old go to the voting booths! I am organizing a voters registration drive as we speak and I am excited about it!!!

Don't under estimate the power of the younger vote. Come this november a vast majority of us will be BARACKING THE VOTE!!!

If you do not believe CNN is biased then just read the comments posted and look at the headline on the stories. They do not approve many comments in favor of McCain\Palin as I have been posting for days and like this one they are never approved. When are you gonna do a story on William Ayers and Obama's connection or his connection to Rezko. You won't, but anything you can post negative of McCain\Palin gets in the headlines. You had better wake up because like me a lot of people are turning you off Cnn for more accurate and unbiased news sources. I will not be watching your news or visiting your site.

I really don't believe that so many Americans are being suckered by the McCain campaign. Based on commentary on MULTIPLE news sites, people are disturbed by the atrocious behavior Johnny boy is exhibiting. I seriously DOUBT he has that much support.

Obama:
Occidental College (Los Angeles) – 2 years studying Politics and Public Policy. Columbia University (New York) – B.A. Political Science with a specialization in International Relations. Harvard Law School – Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude, Editor-in-Chief of the Harvard Law Review.
Palin: Hawaii Pacific University – 1 semester – Business Administration.North Idaho College – 2 semesters – General Studies.
University of Idaho – 2 semesters – Journalism.Matanuska-Susitna College – 1 semester. University of Idaho – 3 semesters – B.A. in Journalism.
WHO WOULD YOU HIRE FOR THE TOUGHEST JOB ON THE PLANET!!!

Looks like the bounce, has landed...now comes the real race.

The question is not whether Obama is losing ground in red states, but why is McCain not winning overwhelmingly in these states with the agenda from the incumbent party?

Yeah I see the polls but I have not been polled either JayInNewHampshire so I guess that is two of us. I guess as of right now we are a part of the few that actually have our heads attached to our bodies.

This only reflects few pools. CNN wants this close so they can have something to talk about. They wants history to unfold so CNN can have another story to talk about. It is all good for the rating. How about this country?
It is funny how CNN manipulate the story of Fiorina inorder to make some news for their Candidate, Barack Obama looks better. CNN needs to have their identity check. MSNBC are already the network for Barrack Obama and CNN want to kiss some behind so they can have the exclusives as history unfolds.

Be fear!

After weeks of McCain campaign lying and distraction, the country is lining up behind Barack Obama.

You can only fling so much bull before people start smelling something rotten.

Obama 08!

"I can't understand this. McCain=Bush. The economy is collapsing. The cost of living is shooting through the roof. And McCain would only dig us deeper."

Perhaps because your theory has some holes in it. Bush doesn't write the law. The laws that allow the country to become what it has in the past 2 years have been entirely laws written by the Democrats. Things always freeze up before elections as the opposition party doesn't want the current party in power to be percieved as solving the problem. If people were happy, there would be no cry for "change." So the Dems in control of Congress have no reason to push for any change for the last 2 years. Thus, Washington gridlock.

In reference to Obama pressuring Clinton to drop out of that event-

Anytime you find people using terms like "perhaps" or "could be" or "presumed", you know they are making stuff up or lying.

Especially when they don't list sources.

McP is pathetic. When will the lies stop and the issues of the people be addressed.

Old out of touch guy + phony, lying religious zealot versus smart, seasoned worldly legislators...should be a slam dunk for Obama/Biden. Why is this even close?

It's sad that McLiar makes it even to a close race ... with every 4 years we as the American electorate get more and more stupid and we are so much easier to fool each year. Sad. Would be nice to have a media with a backbone though ...

We're in the midst of an economic crisis brought on by deregulation. We really can't afford another four years of a republican who has up until last week vocally favored financial dergulation.

We Won't Get Fooled Again!

Look how fast Obama’s lead returned once we got back in real issues, granted forced by Wall St? The key is no distractions !!

God help our country if McSame/Palin actually manage to somehow win in November. It will be what we deserve as a naive and gullible nation to fall for what Paul Begala referred to as the "shiny object."

McSame's pick of Palin alone shows how he's sold out his integrity to win at any cost. This single act shows his lack of judgment and knee jerk reaction. This is NOT the guy we need running our country.

Just say NO to Bush 44!!

Go Obama!!!!

Palin and McCain are insane. We are going to have 4 more years of the same. I want to know what Palin's husband did to get that trooper fired. Don't be fooled, they will bully those when they get into power.

Keep our jobs in America, stop shipping them overseas.

Obama / Biden '08

One more thing NOAH.. I say let Palin speak!!!! I would love hear what she DOESN'T have to say.
BTW here's Obama's resume.
Occidental College (Los Angeles) – 2 years studying Politics and Public Policy.
Columbia University (New York) – B.A. Political Science with a specialization in International Relations.
Harvard Law School – Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude, Editor-in-Chief of the Harvard Law Review.

Here's Palin's
Hawaii Pacific University – 1 semester – Business Administration.
North Idaho College – 2 semesters – General Studies.
University of Idaho – 2 semesters – Journalism.
Matanuska-Susitna College – 1 semester.
University of Idaho – 3 semesters – B.A. in Journalism.

WHO WOULD YOU HIRE FOR GREATEST JOB ON THE PLANET!!!!!

To all the "Senior" that may be tuning in.....

Fact
John McCain supports privitizatio of Social Secuirty

Fact
The Dow Jones Industrial Average lost 504 + points on Monday
Fact
The Dow Jones Industrial Average Lost 449 points today
Fact
Since Aug 5th, the Dow has lost an a total of 674 + points

FACT
Under John McCain
Your Social Security Savings, Shriveled up!

CNN you take it from your OWN poll which is totally slanted, you've done so many polls, you haven't got anything right.

Of course that makes Obambi cult followers licking their lips then act surprise why in GE their Messiah lose.......LMAO!

WHY do you ppl care about PALIN she is not running for President OBAMA is, So American's get your act together and vote for the person that is liked by everyone outside the United States!!!!

"lotta negative thoughts will be coming out of the dems because their

messiah aint leading"

Except that he is leading.

Ouch.

looks good to me! lets keep working to get our guy elected!!! obama / biden 08

Polls truly mean nothing...Just wait until November 4th when all the 18-30 years old go to the voting booths! I am organizing a voters registration drive as we speak and I am excited about it!!!

mccain's first and only lead is gone.obama is gonna bring it home for america.

Day after day poeple know Pinocchio Palin better and better!!!

I don't pay too much attention to the polls. They seem to poll land lines only, during the daytime. Most people are at work, and more and more people are just using cell phones and the likes, not land lines.

come on people barack should be way ahead of mcCain–think about , read what is at stake,please.

Latina for Obama (nj): I second that. Yes We Can and God Bless America! And I've just made another contribution to the Obama team because I have faith in America and Americans. Thanks, Noah!

I hope these polls are an indication that the honeymoon is over for Palin. We need to discuss issues other than whether or not she's the pig or the lipstick!

Wow, all of you still questioning the "experience" Palin has, need to take a good look at Obama, who, as I recall, is running for President. Get a clue.

I don't see anyone questioning anyones experience. You McCant supporters are as out of touch with americans and their issues as he is.

Hopefully the voters in these states won't be fooled by the McCain/Palin strategy of gimmicks. When will it end? First we had the "gas tax holiday" – a gimmick that would fix exactly nothing. Then we had "offshore oil drilling," another gimmick that will solve nothing. Then we had the selection of a woman as a running mate – a thinly veiled gimmick intended to win over disgruntled Hillary supporters. And people are actually being fooled by this nonsense? Not me!! And if McCain brings up the POW thing one more time when he's asked about something completely unrelated I am going to lose my lunch. The old John McCain would not have behaved this way.

What about the Republicans that are either NOT voting and staying home, or voting Obama?

I agree 100% with Jay in New Hampshire

The mccain camp have got major problems right now,last week the mccain camp was in great shape,because he lead the white vote by 22%,but now that lead has evaporated to just 12%,that means obama is going to win in a landslide if mccain dont get that number back up to at least 21%,because he is getting killed with the minority vote,in i dont think he can rebound from that,mccains only hope is that a terriost attack happens before the election,because if the topic stays on the economy that means obama is going to win going away,by the numbers from all these new polls that came out today obama should win by 8%,which means 402 electoral votes,its over mccain,even lady sarah cant save you on this one because when people look at this economy, they looks at the republican party.who has destroyed americas wealth.

It's nice to see NC up there that close as an Obama supporter, bur frankly, if NC goes blue, that means it's bedtime on election night, because Obama's got an EV landslide coming (because it also likely means he won VA as well). Same with Indiana.

Expect Obama to take the Kerry states plus IA and NM, and a recount in CO keeping us all up to the wee hours of the morning to determine the winner.

September 17th, 2008 4:31 pm ET

Wow, all of you still questioning the "experience" Palin has, need to take a good look at Obama, who, as I recall, is running for President. Get a clue.

WOW all of you McCain supporters that constantly criticize Obama's experience, need to take a look at history and realize that ABE LINCOLN had less experience than BARACK OBAMA yet HE BECOME THE GREATEST PRESIDENT IN HISTORY, LET ALONE MANAGED TO UNITE THIS COUNTRY AND KEEP IT FROM FALLING APART

All that matters is the outcome of the election in Nov. everything else is speculation. I do enjoy hearing the stories about all of the former Hillary supporters now voting McCain because of Palin. Obama you remember those folks don't you..oops that's right you left Hillary off the ticket didn't ya....not too smart my man! You did go to Harvard didn't you??

This is modern democracy in action: a largely ignorant group of voters swayed by flash, not substance.

They are both full of it. They are both lying and giving half truths...hell they are politicians. McCain is more center right and Obama is left. That is what you are voting for...nothing else.

Latinos in Florida, hope you know that many in the Republican party would like to see you all shipped back to Latin America. Do not be fooled by this Party. They have ruined our economy and wants 4 more years. No way. Change we NEED NOW

vote Obama / Biden '08

noah – Your comment is useless. What polls are you talking about?

It depends on the when the polls were taken.

FL – has been bouncing back and forth. Rasmussen had it tied last week, now I think McCain is up a bit. Probably will stay red.

IN – has been getting tight, but probably will stay red.

NC – I have seen this all over the map in polls, but I don't see this going blue unless VA goes blue.

OH – again bouncing back and forth. Toss up, but probably stays red.

WI – seen this blue most places.

I see Obama's best bet as CO and NM or flipping VA. FL or OH could be flipped, but it would be tough.

I'm finding myself increasingly pessimistic about Ohio following the obvious voter fraud there in 2004. What measures are being taken so the GOP won't be given a chance to repeat the offense in 2008??

Almost 3 weeks since announced as running mate, and she took her first reporter question—way to go Sarah!!! The novelty is wearing off I'm afraid. McCain could have picked a tomato for his running mate and half this country would still vote for more of the same. But at least we'd know more about the tomato.

RIP Wall Street. RIP McSame and the Deregulatory Polices that have been in place since St. Ron Reagan and the Depository Institutions Act of 1982 that was supposed to "revitalize" the housing industry by freeing up the S&Ls to make more loans. Last time Neil Bush lost a billion bucks at the Silverado S&L. This time it's Andrew McCain, board member of the Silver State Bank . SEE ANY PATTERNS HERE, KIDS????

let the harvard guy fix it!

Of course Palin's experience is being questioned! McCain is the least likely candidate to survive his first term of any presidential candidate in history. The man ain't gonna be a round to see the 2012 election people!

FactCheck. Get back to reality. The convention bounce is over.

Rudy NYC:
How would you describe McCain's campaign over the past 3 months?
Getting stronger and stronger. Finally hitting on all cylinders.

How would you describe Obama's campaign over the past 3 months?
Lost it's way. Meandering in message. Getting more desperate.

Three months ago mcCain was down by 8, now he's tied. This tells me that when the going gets tough, McCain buckles down and fights his way through it, while Obama loses focus and gets lost. Maybe it's time for Obama to go back to Berlin. This time to stay.

Those are great numbers for Obama. A dem being that close in North Carolina is unheard of.

I can't wait for the debate time, when all the truth will come out...
GO OBAMA/BIDEN !!!

Its looking up for Obama-Biden. These states but one should be in McCain column.

The road to the White House isn't through the nursing home or on the runway. Wake up, America!!!

Wohooo it is the issues McCain !!!!

Wow is NC on the brink of going Blue this year.

Thanks GW and McSame!

I USE TO RESPECT CNN'S COVERAGE BUT GAFF SHOWED HIS UNFAIR COVERAGE BY AGAIN SLANTING HIS QUESTIONS ...SHE SAID SHE FELT NONE OF THE FOUR HAD THE EXPERIENCE...WHY DID HE ONLY MENTION THE TWO REPUBLICANS...PLEASE TRY TO SHOW FAIRNESS AS I CAN WATCH FOX OR MSNBC IF I WANT TO WATCH REBUBLICAN OR DEMOCRAT SLANTS...PLEASE GIVE US ONE NETWORK THAT PUTS COUNTRY FIRST AS MY JESUITS IN THE UNIVERSITY SAID BOTH SIDES OBJECTIVE...I HEARD AGAIN OBAMAS STORY OF WHAT IS WRONG BUT DIDN'T HEAR IF HE WOULD BAIL OUT AIG...IT'S NOT BIDEN FOR PRESIDENT I DON'T WANT ANOTHER CHENEY ..I WANT TO HEAR SOLUTIONS OF HIS RIGHT OR WRONG NO MORE PRESENTS...

The only poll that matters is Nov 4. And my hope Barack Obama wins this thing for the sake of our country. But, I will hold him accountable if he doesn't do what he promises - unlike what I have seen from Republicans and their supporters.

I'm glad to see North Carolina is being considered a a "battleground" state. For a long time I've been hoping my home state would go blue, maybe this will be the year. Actually I hope all of the "battleground" states go blue, but I guess that's just wishful thinking.

McCain needs to go retire somewhere.

C'mon people, if rally turnout translates into voter turnout then there is no way these polls are reflective the actual voter landscape. Obama has 10 to 1 turnout rate compared to McCain..everyone know this. Even if half of all people who turnout actual vote for the candidate McCain is still eclipsed. The right wing media which is most of the media in general will not tell you this.

THERE WAS A HUGE ANIT-PALIN, YES! I SAID ANTI-PALIN RALLY, HELD IN ALASKA TODAY.

HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE SHOWED UP WTIH SIGNS, HUNDREDS MORE DRIVING BY HONKED THEIR HORNS AND SHOUTED THEIR SUPPORT.

THANK GOD THERE ARE STILL PEOPLE IN ALASKA WHO CAN THINK FOR THEMSELVES!

To Rudy NYC: You're asking the wrong questions. It's not
How would you describe McCain's campaign over the past 3 months?
How would you describe Obama's campaign over the past 3 months?

it's

How would you describe McCain's campaign over the past 2 years?
How would you describe Obama's campaign over the past 2 years?

Obama has beaten longer odds and vanquished stronger foes. The GOP hasn't had a Hillary Clinton this time. She was a far stronger test than the old codger.

Obama could loose all except Wisconson and still win the election. tough uphill climb for McWAr

If McCain could fix this economy now, he would have done so over the past eight years. Where has he been in the last 26 years? Anybody know? He doesn't even know.

How can he claim to fix this economy when he was part of the problem a few years ago making back-door deals with Keating with Cindy being one of the partners? C'mon!

These polls will change.

I am a former Republican that will be voting for the first time in many years for a Democrat to bring this country back to where we need to be and not for 4 more years of the same mess.

lets settle it with a old-fashioned tug-of-war and a barroom brawl.

lotta negative thoughts will be coming out of the dems because their

messiah aint leading

I can't understand this. McCain=Bush. The economy is collapsing. The cost of living is shooting through the roof. And McCain would only dig us deeper.

I know this is off the subject...but i was so thrilled to see that Secret Sarah actually answered a whole question today!!!!! I feel as tho I have a whole newfound respect for her and its ok for her to run the country!!!!

McCain didn't get a bounce, he got a rocket. And thanks to Sarah Palin, he's gonna' stay there, so eat your heart out all you SP haters.

I can defend this country's national security, I once shooted a moose!

It was so impactful.

I'm tired of the polls...they will go back and forth until November. We just need to make sure everyone who can vote does so...including all the students who overwhelmingly support Obama. The support from the 19-29 demographic is what Obama needs to overcome the disadvantage he faces over racism (which costs him 4-5 points).

Keep manipulating those numbers CNN, it won't save your buddy Obama in November.

As the election gets closer the numbers will continue to increase for Obama. I think the Palin choice is finally hitting the public. we don`t need another liar in the White House. She can`t seem as does McCain be able to tell the truth about almost anythink. This is wonderful news for our great nation. After eight terrible years that we are still suffering from ,people want a leader who care,thinking and cares about "We The People" GReat News. This is not 200 or 2004. We are smarter now. No more dirty tricks and lies.Amercia wins.

Palin = exloding cigar! There are only a few more puffs left.

At least some Obama supporters are just negative, most Mccain supporters are just plain racist.

The only poll that matters is the one on 11/4.
None of these mean a thing just give all the talking heads something to yack on about.

To Rudy NYC,

To answer your question, I think that McCains campaign lacks organization and it does not seem to have too many people whose IQ is higher than the average Joe. On the other hand, Obama's campaign is extremely organized and structured. You must admit, his campaign is very impressive.

Real Clear Politics uses an average of several polls to come up with their numbers. There is too much variation from poll to poll to be acurate otherwise. Either way this is going to be close. It really looks like it is going to come down to MI, PA, OH and then CO and NM.

Actually, Florida didn't decide the Bush/Gore election. The conservative leaning Supreme Court decided. A highly questionable aspect of our democracy, to say the least. Florida's recounts and challenges might have given us an entirely different president.

Wow, all of you still questioning the "experience" Palin has, need to take a good look at Obama, who, as I recall, is running for President. Get a clue.

@ Noah ...And what other polls might you be referring to???

Moving on... Whatever, I cannot wait until the election is over with the win of Obama/Biden, this circus is ridiculous. Continue to be blind McShame supporters!! You will thank us later for getting the economy back on track!

I have been a registered voter for since I was 18 ( 54 now) and I ahve never been called for a poll...so I do not out much stock in them, as the sampling is usually small, and not repersentative, and in this day and age to not include cell phone would leave out many people.
Polls say nothing and should not be published as they tens =d to give people the wrong idea about things, let the issues be discussed, and the programs laid out. The only poll that matters is on 11/4.

NOAH, nothing negative to say from this Obama supporter just...
YES WE CAN!!!

Cmon Obama!! WE can do this!!!

God bless America

There is almost no way obama will win the great state of Ohio., He called us names and he slurred all women,. I am shocked that he with his poor mouth even got as far as he got.

He is risky and it would be a crap shoot for him to be in charge. He has never been in charge of anything.

Give me a break

Noah –
Those polls you are referring to that have McCain with a "larger lead" were taken before Lehman Brothers went belly-up, before the stock market lost 500 points, before the Feds bailed out A.I.G., before McCain inserted his foot in his mouth and said that our economy is "fundamentally strong," and before the RNC/Palin bounce faded (as all bounces do). Go to RealClearPolitics and see for yourself.

I could care less about poll numbers! Who are they polling? Not me. Our country is in shambles. Natural disasters, financial distress. God help us. We don't need four more years of failed policies. Obama 08

The momentum is all Barack's!

OBAMA'S POLITICAL SURGE IS JUST BEGINNING. OBAMA WILL WIN BY A LANDSLIDE.
HOW CAN ANYONE VOTE FOR THE NUMBER ONE CLONE OF ADOLF BUSH. I DON'T BELIEVE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WANT MORE OF THE SAME.

Why do folks rely so heavily on these polls? Who do they call? Certainly no one with cellphones..how many people still own landlines? what are the demographics of the respondents?

Seriously, the only thing that matters most is what happens on Nov. 4...these polls will change on a daily basis....after the debates, hopefully there will be a better view of what's going on....

It looks like finally starting to see through the dirty politics and lack of substance of the McCain / Palin ticket!

If McCain will lie during his campaign he WILL lie if awared the Whitehouse!

Let's go Florida. Florida will go blue in this election. I just signed up 200 latinos and they are now talking to all of their neighbours.

The lies and deception from the Republicans will not work this time.

Yes we can – Change we need NOW!!!

Obama/Biden '08

CNN needs to post the facts behind the polls closely to the headline title, such as when they were conducted and how many people polled. These polls were conducted between Sept. 14 through Sept. 16th (prior to the stock market mess, bailouts, Obama's economic talk, and McCain and surrogate gaffes on the economy). Another important tidbit of information is that all fo the swing states polled above went with Bush in 2004 over Kerry.

In the above swing states McCain leads in just one, which is Indiana. Bush beat Kerry by 16pts back in 2004 in Indiana, Obama is down by only 6pts.

The McCain goes again> When McCain says Palin said thanks but no thanks, how come the Republicans keep the $200 MILLION.

The bridge was not built. The Pipeline she said she HAD built might be built by Trans-Canada Pipelines Ltd in 10 years if feasible and if approved by Canada's National Energy Board.

The only thing the Republicans delivered was a PIPEDREAM, NOT A PIPELINE.

For the $200 Million the taxpayer paid for the bridge, PALIN DELIVERED NOT A BRIDGE BUT MORE AND MORE LIES.

Where do these polls come from? Do the polls include all voting Americans? NO. Soooo..in other words..

I dont pay any of these polls any attention. It all comes down to the nitty gritty which is the day we all walk into the booth to cast our vote.

Many people including myself are waiting for the debates before they make any final committments to the parties. Most people know phone polls are skewed, but post debate time will really make it interesting.

Holly cow, Obama caught up to McCain in FL. Hooray! We do not want drilling in our shores... we love our reefs! That's what you get McCain! Go drill in the millions of leased land you already have! You just want to rip us off with gas prices every time there is a Hurricane off shore!!!

FL for Obama!

Noah, I'd trust CNN's polls. Of course, they will bounce back and forth, but just wait until the debates...

for everyoe that thought VA may be a shocker...NC maybe more of a shocker if obama pulls it....

hillary thought she had that state in the bag as well.....

one small correction, Florida didn't decide the election in 2000, the Supreme Court did. Other than that still seem to be in that weird bounce.

American should wake up now? the economy of world is in great danger and who wins this election got works to do. this election should not be for US alone. Think ammmeeerrrriiiikkkkaaaaaa. Macain shows how good he can handly the economy while Obama is not winning because he is not like other president before him. Hey guys wake up..................none of my biz anyway

Senator McCain is starting to look tired. When will the American people realize he's simply too old to begin the job of President?

Noah, go cry me a river.

The polls dont take into account new voters very good news for Obama. Yes we can & yes we will!!!

Teamsters for Obama

Is McCain too rich and out of touch to understand a hard-working, economically pinched "whiner" like me???

Every vote will count this year!!!

With the economic crisis and fundamental issues, people are going to seriously come to their senses God gave them. As a woman, picking Palin wasn't a smart move. This proves how incompetent McCain really is. Now, I see why Cindy is following him more closely.

If Florida goes blue. McLame/Failin are toast.

Can't wait for next week's polls- after McSAME-Palin showing their ignorance in the last two days, I can't see any thinking person voting for them.
We have McSame saying our Economic Fundementals are still STRONG, and we have the Governor trying to end "Troopergate".
Republicans have no clue! Look what they've done for the last 8 years!
EIGHT IS ENOUGH!

Are Americans finally starting to use what is between their ears, put prejudices aside and make a decision in the interest of the country and the world at large ... come on Obama!

OB08!
World Citizen

Seriously, how can half of the Americans (who are registered to vote) be this naive? It wouldn't be a dead heat if the government encouraged more people to register to vote,. but it probably wouldn't be the same government in power then. Get at least 10 people you know who are unregistered, registered before October 6, 2008 (the cut off date)!!!
Obama/Biden 08

cnn where did you make these #s up from,
why not add which poll's you cherrypicked through to get these #s.
democrat for mccain.

Noah,

What other polls? Everybody is saying that these numbers are pretty much correct.

Noah:

You are right other polls show McCain with a bigger lead but the momentum has shifted again, the DOW is down another 450 today...McCain can't talk to this and the Alaska Beauty Queen with the Communications degree sure can't. it will be close, very close but momentum is back on Obama's side.

Palin induced popularity is receding fast.God help McCaine!

Obama the "Flash" in the pan is done.

I have witnessed Obama get out the vote machine first hand and if it's really this close voter turnout will seal the deal and Obama wins hands down

Let's not forget about all the newly registered democrats not showing up in these polls......I'd be interested in seeing those figures broken down by each battleground state

the debates will make the difference.

Ohio and Wisconsin for Obama means GAME OVER! Gotta hold on to both of them.

Looks to me like NC and IN are off the table. Hopefully, Obama can make them up somewhere else: CO, WI, NH, NM, perhaps.

Like to see the momentum swing back to O, though.

Nosh, you are 1000 percent correct. Obama also has only a 45-41% lead in NEW YORK!

Also with Nobama attending a Hollywood fun raiser and now Hillary Clinton backing out of attening an event at the UN just because Sara Palin was going to be there I would say the McCain Campain has some new ammunician!

GO MCCAIN/PALIN 08!!!!!!!!

Goodbye Moose hunter, hello Mr. President Obama!!!!

You can add myself, my entire family, my co workers and even my pitbull ( without lipstick of course) to those numbers in Indiana. Oh yeah, I forgot... no one has contacted me or any of the above to be polled.......hmmmmmmmmm

BARACK>>>>WILL>>>>WIN>>>>THIS>>>>ELECTION
MCCAIN>>>>IS>>>>OBVIOUSLY>>>>DESPERATE>>>>AND
WILL>>>>SAY>>>>OR>>>>DO>>>>ANYTHING>>>>TO>>>>WIN
BUT>>>IT>>>>WILL>>>>NOT>>>>WORK>>>>THIS>>>>TIME>>>>

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ENOUGH>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Barack Your Vote!!!!!

This will be close to the end.
I sure pity whoever ends up winning.

This is good news for OBAMA, Mccain as peaked and at his peak he wasn’t able to pull away which means AMERICANS WANT CHANGE!

People please REGISTER TO VOTE and every vote will count! Its really easy to..go to declareyourself dot com.......DECLEAR YOUR VOICE! We have been fooled enough, let vote for CHANGE!

Just a young American sick of the games!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

How are all those lies in the smear commercial's working for you now Geezer?
Geezer Obama
FLORIDA: : 48% 48%

Toss in the third party candidates and the totals are:

Geezer Mr. President
44% 48%

Hopefully, this will prove that the American public can see thru your lies and ploys.

Maybe it is time to trot out the "Poor Old Warrior" exploitations again!

Don't think Jewish people will like Palin's pray to convert idea.

Don't understand how Palin can get away with giving speeches at an Alaska separatist meetings. She doesn't even wear a American flag pin. She only wears pro Alaska pins. LOOK!!!!

Wow NC. I'm pleased...we're closing the gap. Not so red anymore. Ohio I'm glad it's looking blue. What about Virginia CNN???

How can anyone seriously think Obama is the 'answer' here?
He received 120,000 dollars from lobbyists for Freddie/Fannie; McCain received 20,000 dollars. Besides that, his campaign has hired these 2 'heads' of these organizations. Don't try to tell me that GOP or Bush is responsible for all this corruption; just remember who is 'running' the congress, and were paid well for looking the other way.

Nothing negative Noah....just...YES WE CAN!!!!!

Cmon Obama WE can do this!!!

Some people are just being self delusional.
These people would rush to say that polls are not reliable when they are not favoring their candidate but now are good..
I think N-Carolina and Winsconsin will eventually and without any doubt go Red. Indiana will vote Red too.
Obama should put the Clintons on the ground to win Florida and Penn.
November 4 is still seven weeks away.

With people starting to see through the Palin fairytale and the economy in the crapper, McCain has some bad days ahead.

I just hope that America can see through McCain's lies and put our country back into hands that can get us through this mess.

Obama/Biden 08

A 6% lead is not a "virtual tie". Indiana is still leaning McCain, despite the CNN puff piece on the Obama campaign there.

The REAL story is how New Jersey has become a battleground state, but CNN won't report it because heaven forbid the Northeast vote Republican. Obama has lost a HUGE amount of support in New Jersey, and they're starting to swing towards McCain.

"THE ONE".
I have been leaving in three systems, three countries, two continents and the truth is:
Even he /Obama/ has a good ideas for change;
1. They / the ideas/ are vague or stolen from Marx ideologies and the Bible
2. He definitely can not deliver them.

His arrogance and ambition are putting american people to become a Ginny Pigs.
Thanks: BEEN THERE , DONE THAT

Doesn't mean a thing until the curtain is shut and people pull the handle...

I think everyone will be surprised by how big the McCain Palin win is...

Obama is a tool... and America sees it... nobody says it because you are attacked as a racist if you don't like him... so they will just go about their business... and come election day... he will get smoked!

Keating 5 and Sara's coverup about Troopergate. Yep these are the people that are going to lead the country....

Well plenty time left yet and McCain shows his cluelessness daily. The morning talk show circuit was a riot Johnny. You really are out of your element.

Looks like some of the former GOP strongholds are up for grabs this time.

Whats going on with Mccain?...he is flip floping more than a fish out of water. First he's for deregulation then he's against it. he seems like a confused old man. I don't know if i can vote for this old guy.

THE MOMENTUM IS STILL WITH MCCAIN / PALIN. THIS WEBSITE IS A JOKE. THE POLLS ARE INACCURATE.

MCCAIN / PALIN WILL WIN IN NOVEMBER.

will it hold?
When are reporters going to start doing there so called, investigative
reporting. So Palin can memorize the script for the topic of the day.

Are you guys afraid she will go back in her shell... Tough questions for a tough job. She should not ask for less....A male would be geting hammered right now as weak and afraid.....sexism run a two way street. Give her to Jack Cafferty he's pretty gentle

Don't trust those numbers, McCain still not ready to lead.

I still don't believe you.

I think Obama is way ahead accross the board, but the media either selectively polls, asks tainted questions, or cooks the books to keep it exciting.

wish you wouldn’t speak for millions of us females who are anything but enamored with this woman!!!

She scares me and she’ll be disastrous for this country!!!!!!!!!!!

The fact that Palin is attracting mroe attention than McCain speaks volumes about his voters and the lack of support he has from his own people!!!!! He’s the one that is running for the Presidency not that lying, secretative excuse of a woman!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Woman for Obama all the way!!!!!!

Whenever Obama is ahead of McCain in any poll, "it's a statistical tie- or dead heat". When McCain is ahead, "he's winning".
CNN, thanks for posting this.

Hey Noah, I could say a whole slew of negative things…..

The only thing I am going to say is this: As "Scientific" as these organizations claim they are, they are almost never completely accurate.

If anything, these polls may highlight the fact that Sen. McCain maybe in worse shape.

All of these states have a large contingent of College students, who by the way, use cell phones almost exclusively. These polls have no way of including these people in there finding.

Wake up America.

The economy is in a shambles.
The USA owes Billion$ to China, and the Mideast.
All the good jobs have gone overseas.
We are in 2 wars that according to the generals say we can not have victory in.
Social Security is unfunded.
The government is bailing out the every body but the little guy.
Gas is $5.00 a gallon in some places.

At this rate your children can not have the standard of living you have. Thet can't afford the college education they need, nor find the jobs they need. Who is going to take care of you in your old age?

McCain says the economy is sound! That we are winning in Iraq! His policies are the same as Bush's.

He is an out of touch brain-washed old man. You can't tell me that he was in a prison camp – tortured for 5 years and doesn't have a few screws loose. Anyone see the Manchurian Candidate? Do you want his hand on the helm of this country or on the button?

He "put country first" in picking the know-nothing Palin.

Enough is enough.

Just say no to:

More War McCain &
Taliban Palin!

Look what voting for Bush got you, because he would be the one you want to sit down with a beer with.

AMERICA UNITE!!

Join behind McCain and Palin and let's Unite this country!!

End the divisiveness of the Democrats!!

We can do it!!

MCCAIN/ PALIN '08!!!

I agree with Peter. Obama may get Indiana below 5 points but probably cannot win there. Same with North Carolina – probably gets within 2-3 points on election day, but no better. Florida, well, I'd like to see some polling numbers there next week after the financial/economic news trickles down some more. However, barring some McCain gaffe (which is always a possibility) McCain probably pulls it off there as well. Wisconsin will most likely stay blue by around 3-5 points on Nov. 4th. But Ohio – if McCain loses there, its over...stick a fork in him.

This is a good thing. These are mostly RED states so Obama have a chance.
Obama MUST win one of the two: Florida or Ohio.

Noah, what other polls are you referring to?

Today's Prayer Topic:

Dear Lord, Save Us From Another 4yrs of GWB. Lord, see, We need a change, not in the number of people gathering to see the VP pick, but the real change in governance, in style and good judgement.
Save Us, from uncoordinated political Ads, and remember Lord, we're fed up of negative Ads mccain brings to us!
Thank you Jesus,
AMEN!!

It is getting hot out there. Will John McCain be able to stay in the heated up kitchen? All Obama has to do is keep the heat on and turn it up to high!

McCain = no change

Obama/Biden 2008

Looks like a tight race.......... but there is a "wild card" that's the college age kids that Sen. Obama has inspired and energized!

I think the press and the pollsters are in for a November-surprise!

Perhaps the seniors in Florida are beginning to SEE that their grandchildren will not do as well as their parents...... and those seniors may be switching to Sen. Obama!

$10 TRILLION IN NATIONAL DEBT

600,000 JOBS LOST THIS YEAR AND COUNTING

$1.38 BILLION BEING SPENT EACH DAY IN IRAQ

$490 BILLION DEFICIT FOR 2009

MILLIONS OF AMERICANS LOSING THEIR HOMES

MILLIONS LOSING THE VALUE OF THEIR HOMES

BANKS FAILING!

THANKS A LOT..........BUSH, CHENEY, MCCAIN & GOP!

THESE POLLS ARE A LIE AND ARE BEING PUT OUT BY BIASED CNN. THEY HAVE BEEN FOR OBAMA SINCE DAY ONE.

Hey Noah, I could say a whole slewof negative things.....

The only thing I am going to say is this: As "Scientific" as these organizations claim they are, they are almost never completely accurate.

If anything, these polls may highlight the fact that Sen. McCain maybe in worse shape.

All of these states have a large contingent of College students, who by the way, use cell phones almost exclusively. These polls have no way of including these people in there finding.

Noah.... . Most of other polls in these states were done right after the rep. convention.. These polls were done in last few days.. These take into effect the economy down turn this week..

As the focus continues to fall from Palin to the economy, it'll be interesting to see how much Obama's numbers increase.

Yahoo news now has McCain ahead in electoral college votes and Fox news showed their Rasmussen polls last night with McCain ahead in Ohio and Florida. Looks like Obama is slippin'. Now, clear the way for all his supporters who will say polls are wrong and the American people can't be that stupid, and then there's the part about they don't poll the young set with the cell phones. Watch and weep, all you lemmings.

McCain is probably doing better in Florida than this poll indicates

Palin is finally being exposed for the fraud she is and people are starting to see that!! THANKS, BUT NO THANKS ON MCCAIN AND BRIDGE TO NO WHERE PALIN!!

Obama/Biden '08

Remeber these polls were taking before McBush claimed that the "Fundamentals of the Economy are very strong".

Well, we'll would have felt that way if had a private jet and 7 luxery homes!

The polls want to make it close. The media needs some news.

It doesn't matter... McBama are both puppets on the right and left hand of the same beast. What I can't understand is how most of America can think otherwise.

Make your vote count... VOTE 3RD PARTY!!!

(Especially if you don't live in a "battleground state" and your vote "won't matter" anyway)

McCain is looking old and tired. The old man has no new ideas, no visions, nothing new to offer the American people. He is part of the problem. He is not a reformer. He is a liar and a fraud and clueless. Just look at him. Dow down 455 today...504 yesterday. I wouldn't bet too much on polls. I've been voting since I was 18 and have never been polled. Not once.
Indiana, Ohio, Wisconsin, Michigan will all be 'blue' on Nov. 4th.

noah shut up and stop instigating people to react. nobody is really going to care about polls till the debates happen. Mid october will be a good time to look at polls. and I don't care who's up in the polls right now since it's a matter of a couple points. It's anybodies game.

I love how the Republicans talk so much trash when the polls come out in favor of their candidate, yet when they realize that the polls no longer favor their candidate, they expect trash talking from the other candidates supporters. The polls say it all, your candidate is running a sleezy campaign and it's starting to show. The lipstick is off the pig now, and the ham is in the oven

I would just love to know who they are polling. I've been a registered voter for 16 years and have never participated in a poll. I don't know of anyone that has been polled. These polls mean nothing to me. I don't care who they say is ahead/behind. We'll see the real story on Nov. 4th. Until then, they can poll all they want.

These are actually pretty good numbers for Obama. Hopefully, with the economy being the front-and-center issue at the moment, obamas numbers will pick up a bit more. Today's Wall Street news should help Obama's numbers also.

Ya know? I would really like to see the makeup of exactly who is being asked these poll questions. Hmmm lets see, if I ask 50 Republicans and 50 Democrats that same questions I wonder what the result will likely be? Maybe...50% to 50%? Or should we look at something more real..like people putting their money where their poll question is. Can you say $66 million to how much did John McCain receive?

Noah
build your Ark, you can't see the rain

funny,other polls show obama with a larger lead in all these states...lets see how many negative comments mccain supporters can come up with in this story...

This is pretty pathetic for Obama. In an election cycle where we Democrats should be ahead by double digits, it's a dead heat. Once again my party chose to follow a fairy tale instead of relying on common sense and pragmatism. I'll be sitting home in November. If Obama wins I hope he proves me wrong but I'm not holding my breath.

Florida,
Please don't screw up this tome around, we need your votes, and Obama will do the job

I am hopeful that Americans will soon realize that Obama is the one to elect. I am a lifelong Republican who voted for Bush twice and who voted for McCain in the 2000 Tennessee Primary. If I am willing to vote for Obama because I believe in him, then all Americans should be. McCain is a fool and so is Palin. They will not be able to change anything.

noah above: these CNN ones are more recent than the other polls, which is why people are saying the trend is going to Obama right now.

WE ARE FIRED UP AND READY TO GO!

KEEP GETTING THE MESSAGE OUT!

WHETHER IT BE E-MAILS, DOOR KNOCKING, VOTER REGISTRATIONS, TALKING TO FRIENDS & FAMILY, OR DONATING TO THE CAMPAIGN!

LET'S SHOW THESE SMALL MINDED, SELFISH, RACIST FOOLS WHAT THEY ARE DEALING WITH!!

THE FUTURE IS HERE!!

ONE!

Lies, intimidation, manipulation, and deception will not cut it this time.
We've heard this before. Small time values.
Obama will win in a landslide!!!!!!!!!!

Why does the United States have the most complicated Political System?
And why are American’s so blinded if you need to know how to vote listen to the rest of the WORLD who they rather see in the White House!!

Does anyone really trust these polls? I mean I really dont. Every week it says someones ahead or has gained ground on the other.
And when you see the number of people surveyed (usually around 1000) can you really get a clear picture of whats going on?
I dont buy it.
How could Bush have a 30% approval rating, and a guy (Mccain) who is 90% like bush (based on his voting record) be tied with a guy completely different (Obama).
Doesnt make sense. Either the media isn't surveying well enough, or someone is manipulating figures...again I DONT BUY IT.

the more the truth comes out on palin and the false ads, the faster they will fall. why do these people lie? Talk about values.

McCain should be comfortably ahead in Florida, with all those senior citizens and Hillary fans.

And North Carolina? The home state of Jesse Helms? you've gotta be kidding me.

Close battle. This presidency will be determined by debate over taxation.

ONE NATION

note to self, never move to Ohio or Wisconsin!

These numbers do not bode well for the annointed child-god. With his rockstar aura and wild popularity among the text-messaging age-bracket, he should be light years ahead of McCain.

"This is our moment, this is our time!!!!"

Indepedent for OBAMA 08

The American voters are not stupid enough to elect a person who has no background for anything anyone can see. Promises mean nothing when a candidate has no accomplishments to show he can deliver.

Polls will shift as the election get closer to election day.
Frankly, why do wage earners support republicans who vote against their own interest, Bush>McCain support a stupid war that is driving us to the poor house. We are losing jobs, value in what wages we earn and bailing out fat cats who careless about workers, but want tax payers money to have a good life.

This is what you get when you nominate a "karaoke" candidate as Obama. "Change"...bla bla "Hope" bla bla.,,..
McCain 2008
Hillary 2012

Sorry to see that Wisconsin is still tight. I'm excited about the other ones. I think North Carolina won't happen but I would be happy if we got either Florida or Ohio.

I think you guys are right...the Palin effect is wearing off as we learn more about her. She has way too much baggage.

The momentum in Virginia, where i live, is definitely with Obama. After that SNL skit, no one takes Palin seriously!
Go Obama/Biden

I think you have the Florida figures wrong. McCain was ahead by 6 points. Check your sources again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Welcome to the Awakening of the American People and the Take Back America!
After almost eight years of destruction of the economy, and all those so called Rights for All the American People have disappeared to the Elitists and Rich Billionaires, while 95% of the American People don't have a job, lost of homes, no health care, third world education, and so on.
Why, oh why would the American People still believe a McBush and PalCheney Republican Party who have used the worst of lies, deception, secrecy, distractions and sexism to continue four more years of the same?

Obama – Biden 2008-2012

Hippie ya yo!

Johnny Mac is tanking in the latest polls. Mrs. Bridge to Nowhere can't save his pathetic campaign anymore.

McCain looks like the droopy dog in this picture. He looks sad. Maybe he feels bad for running a disgraceful campaign.

The Palin, and Wall-Street bubbles are bursting at the same time. The first is good for America, the second is not. Elect Obama/Biden. Let's erase the damage of the last 8 years, and never forget so it doesn't happen again.

Why is it that Senator John McCain:

Voted to give companies that ship jobs overseas a tax break.

Voted against the New Veteran GI Bill.

Vote for No oversight for Big Commpanied..

Senator John McCain sold out the US worker......

Never forget what the republicans did in Florida in 2000! Never forget that THEY are responsible for moving the date's to cause chaos among the democratic party, don't fall for the lies again, how can people be so blind as to keep repeating their past mistake's. Take it from me from ct, we made a huge mistake re-electing Lieberman, and his ratings are under 50% now, but lets not make the same mistake for the next 4 years and continue the SAME POLICIES THAT LED US INTO THIS MESS, HOW CAN YOU EXPECT TO GET OUT OF A WHOLE BY DIGGING DEEPER AND DEEPER.

The fundamentals of this election are strong.

I think things will change once we all see the first presidential debate.

Ok.

the race is getting more interesting?

fire for fire.

Obama 08

OH GOD NOT FLORIDA AGAIN!

In what respect, Charlie?

Baraks bounce is back!

Obama's taken McCain's best shot (the post-RNC/Palin bounce) and hopefully is on his way to victory in November. By the way, Caribou Barbie, when you tell your cronies in Alaska to ignore subpoenas, you sound more like Dick Cheney than an "original maverick." What are you hiding? We already had one vice-president who thought he was above the law, we don't need another.

Polls don't matter. Neither do the elections... remember Florida? 2000? Hanging Chads and Butterfly ballots? If you really want to do yourself a favor, ask your local papers to check out the polling places and the voting machines. Have they been tested? How did they perform during the primaries and local elections? Who's your Secretary of State? Republican or Democrat? Are there any volunteer groups in your area who will bus or drive people to the correct polling place? Do you even know where your polling place is?

I can fix the economy, I can see Bank of Wasilla from my house!

Why can't Obama pull well ahead when everyone thinks Bush has done a terrible job? Because people are not buying Obama's corporate, elite, lobby-driven, backdoor, lying character.

Vote Green Party – feminism, anti-war, and 100% inclusion built right into the platform. Not just words or a race card.

How a candidate manages and runs his campaign is a foreshadowing of how the candidate will manage and run their elected office.

How would you describe McCain's campaign over the past 3 months?
How would you describe Obama's campaign over the past 3 months?

McCain's bounce is over and now we should start seeing the real numbers.

Don't forget that Obama has done an amazing job with voter turnout. My big fear is we will run into problems with insufficient ballots or and overflow of people at voting stations.

Keep the faith my fellow Obama supporters, we can win this thing. Call your neighbors, family members, coworkers and make sure they are registered and go vote on 11/4. Tell them how Barack's economic plan is good for them and great for America!!

Why no news of Palin's private email being hacked yet?

Florida will elect Obama, I'll bet on it. But we need some folks to convince the Ohio crowd.

Folks, write this one down. If Obama can win two out of three in Mich, Ohio, Pa and take one of either NM or Colorado this race is over. I'm thinking he'll hit 300 electoral votes without getting Florida.

With the economic disaster taking place, McCain's admitted ignorance of the subject will kill him. Throw in Palin's pathological lying and her Cheney-like secrecy and Americans are running away from them.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you president Obama.

I hate this stupid polls, lets have an election where ppl just vote and thats the only poll.

The polls are tied, yet McCain and Palin continue to lie to the American people everyday. Unreal!

Only in America.....can you lie to the Amercian people, with fear and mortgage crises................and stil reamin at a dead heat!

Please get out and vot on Nov. 4th , if not foryourself, but for your childredn, and ther children.

Obama/Biden 2008

McCain flushes his best qualities down the toilet each morning. People are starting to realize that once again.

If he can't be honest and if his track record is in complete opposite of his promises, then he can't be the right choice for America. More of the same, and he is to blame.

Obama/Biden '08

ps: turn your states blue, Obama needs our help, he can do it, but he needs all of us...let's rock the vote!!!

Of course they are virtually tied. That is what makes them battleground states.

Funny..other polls show McCain with a larger lead in all these states...lets see how many negative comments Obama supporters can come up with in this story...

Very encouraging news!!!

With the only person talking about Issue Number 1 being Obama, I am confident he can start makin real headway into these states now.

But, if the focus of the campaign remains on all of these silly diversions, I am afraid the whole country will be lost.

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Go get them Barack! Florida here we come. Let's vote the liars out of the white house.

the momentum is clearly switching back to obama.....after the sarah palin nomination effect.

No Republicans this year. My money is running low and I just can't afford the morals card. I'm putting my hopes on change or else I'm gonna be broke in ten years.

Take an internet poll...I vote Obama

gotta keep it close enough to steal it...

(diebold)

When a political analyst or commentator can come on... and point out just ONE policy that John McSame has differently to GW Bush's.... then it's worth a consideration but for the life of me... having painfully endured the past 8 years and to think of voting for a man whose agenda is so inline with Bush's, is a complete bafflement to my mind.

The downside to democracy is that even stupidity gets to vote....
and we all suffer

THE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE WILL PREVAIL ON NOVEMBER 04TH.
We the people are hungry for a change, we need Obama/Biden to move us past this 8 years of division, dirty politics, reckless spending, and the hidious war.
We need a healthy economy, health care, education, infrastructure and decency brought back to this great Nation.
Our children and their children need a future and a healthy environment.

Go OBAMA, GO!

Obama now has a double digit lead here in Iowa. We have recognized that the past 8 years have been a Republican disaster and we can NOT afford to give McCain/Palin 4 more years to dig us deeper.

Wake up people in Ohio and Florida ! How much worse do things have to get before you relinquish your love for the Republican party ?!

COME ON NORTH CAROLINA WE CAN DO IT!

Obama/Biden '08

Not sure why America has not waken up to the fact that Bush has this country in a big fat mess. McCain has voted with Bush 90% of the time. We can't have four more years of the McSame.

mccain's gonna take on the good ol' boys of washington. he calls a staff meeting. lmao!!!

ok, to be honest, Indiana isnt as close as it would seem, i say Wisconsin will go blue, and I personally think NC will go red

Not for long. Senator McCain is like a deer in the headlights on the economy, while Senator Obama looks like a genius.

BTW, what's the difference between Dick Cheney and Sarah Palin?

Lipstick!

GO BAMA!

It would seem McCain can win the spin. I think America is waiting for the debates. Let's hope we get questions on issues, not personalities. I was leaning McCain until he went dirty with outright lies. Obama seems to have been caught a bit flat-footed by the propaganda, which is not good for POTUS.

It seems like this might come down to character and judgement instead of the issues. Let's hope it does not come down to another Supreme Court decision.

Give it a few days and the post convention bounce will fully wear off. By then, Britney or Lindsay or one of the Olsens will have done something ridiculous and Palin will be completely gone from the spotlight.

Come on people, are we really that stupid. Wake up and vote for change.

THE FACT THAT MCCAIN IS WITHIN 10 POINTS OF OBAMA JUST GOES TO PROVE THAT AMERICANS ARE TRULY IGNORANT, APATHETIC, UNAWARE AND IRRESPONSIBLE.

DO NOT SAY YOU PUT THE BEST INTERESTS OF YOUR FAMILY, YOUR CHILDREN AND YOUR COUNTRY FIRST IF YOU ARE SERIOUSLY CONSIDERING VOTING FOR MCCAIN AND PALIN.

MCCAIN HAS BROUGHT DISGRACE TO THE TERM "COUNTRY FIRST" HIS SLOGAN SHOULD BE "WIN AT ANY COST!"

AMERICA IS QUICLKY BECOMING NO BETTER THAN ANY OTHER THIRD-WORLD COUNTRY.

What about Missouri? I'd like Obama to win Missouri!!! Come on
young people in Missouri! Get out and vote for Obama!

Reporting that Palin in trailing in the polls is SEXIST!

Great news for me as a McCain support!

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

OMG he's doing great in NORTH CAROLINA. I have more phone banking to do this week. Stay focus Obama supporters.....ignore the liars and keep working.

Obama will win. VIVA EL PRESIDENTE OBAMA!

Did anybody see the Daily Show? "McCain - the only POW who got brainwashed _after_ his release." Brilliant. And folks are catching on, too... that plus the youth vote, the black vote, the Latino vote - we're good. So far. Turnout, turnout, turnout!

NOT FOR LONG
Obama will overcome. It's time for justice and not evil greed that the GOP stands for.

This is the best news I have heard all day!

Yes we can and...we will!

What will win this election for Obama, is the smart young people,
who have some sense!!!! 18-35 get out and vote for Obama for
a better country!!!! Your vote WILL count!!!!

9/13:
Obama 45, McCain 46
9/14:
Obama 45, McCain 45
9/15:
Obama 46, McCain 46
9/16:
Obama 46, McCain 45

The shine is coming off of Palin, and the convention bounce is done. The more people hear Palin, the less will want to vote for her.

"In my administration we're going to hold people on Wall Street responsible and we're going to enact and enforce reforms that make sure that these outrages — and they are outrages — never happen in the first place," McCain said

But wait, this is completely opposite of what McCain has supported and stood for the last 20 plus years.

The Gramm-Leach-Bliley Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 deregulated the financial system by opening up competition among banks, securities and insurance companies and allowed commercial and investment banks to merge.

John McCain voted for this bill along with the entire Republican Senate. The Senate Democrats objected against it. Phil Gramm introduced this bill and was John McCain’s top economic advisor before he was forced to resign but still gives McCain economic advice to this day.

John McCain has a direct responsibility in the financial crisis we are in today along with the banking lobbyists he is employing in his campaign. McCain has supported the very philosophy and mentality that has caused the economy we are facing today. Is that what you want? Another 4 years of this? Look it up, McCain has truly supported DEREGULATION throughout his career and now all of a sudden he is FOR regulation. He’s blowing smoke and just telling more lies.
