don't worry guys
Harry Reid gave McCain a nice ad today

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid — who also complained that he didn't know a bailout of AIG was in the works — said Congress won't change laws immediately to address the rapidly unfolding financial crisis because "no one knows what to do."

straight from CNN
if no one knows what to do than how are obama and biden so sure that their socialist cravings will fix the economy? Fact is they won't. But no matter. Biden's gonna pull a kerry soon. I can feel it.

McCain + Palin = McPain

Obama's not leading b/c of credibility issues. Many people think he's all talk. This is why there's a debate as to who has more experience, BO or SP. Why else would people compare a Dem Presidential nominee against the opposing VP nominee.

Don't believe these polls they can be very misleading!!!!! Dems we must take back our Nation we must!!!!! McShame and McPalin will turn this Nation upside down and continue the same old Bush tactics

Please continue to work hard for this ticket!!!!!!

Obama/Biden 08/2012

Next week Sen. Obama will be up by way more. This just has not been a good week for old Johnny boy.

The Myth of the Maverick is Dead.

Gotcha! Let the wave build until it takes back what is ours…. This Country and Wahington will see that CHANGE IS GONNA COME!

SAM COOKE SUNG ABOUT IT & OBAMA/BIDEN ARE GOING TO BRING IT!

Obama/Biden '08

I said yesterday that Obama would be 47 to McCain 44 by the middle of next week, looks like I may have been too (heh) conservative in that estimate. Good job Barack.

The biggest advantage for Obama is that the boost McCain got took the RNC convention and it took McCain picking a running mate that was supposed to be a game changer and the nail in the coffin and all kinds of other things. But now we've gotten to know Palin a bit, and her approval rating in polls is at about 40%. Ouch. And McCain doesn't have another convention, he doesn't have another running mate to announce, there are no rabbits left in the hat. Economic trouble is bad for a candidate of the incumbent's party, and will only help Obama's campaign. McCain is still wholly tied to Bush in the American mind.

This time last week, Obama supporters were wishing that the debates would get here and give Obama a boost. Now the McCain supporters have to hope against hope (heh) that the email chain letters they've been getting about Obama having poor public speaking skills are correct. They have to hope that McCain doesn't contradict himself in the debates like he has been on a daily basis on the trails, they have to hope that putting a ruined old man up against a vibrant young man won't have the same effect that the Kennedy-Nixon debates had, and they have to hope that Obama doesn't run rings around McCain.

Well, good luck to them with that, and I'm still faily positive that Obama will be our next president.

Be aware , the RNC is working to dis-allow those who have lost their home to foreclosure , the right to vote. This corrupt , do- anything to win party has reached an all time low

This is just the beginning of good things to come. Real change we can believe in, not lies and cover-ups in the name of religion. Go Obama/Biden. And I hear Hillary has been penned in for a Very important position – could explain why she was not nominated VP. Go get them Dems.

I have to believe people are smarter than falling for the lies, the cheating, the manipulation…

OUR ONCE GREAT COUNTRY IS IN THIS POSITION BECAUSE OF TOO LITTLE GOVERNMENT ON WALL STREET. THERE IS A BALANCE AND WE HAVE SWUNG TOO FAR TO THE RIGHT OVER THE PAST 8 YEARS.

I PRAY THAT THIS ECONOMY DOESN'T GET WORSE, BUT LOOKS LIKE IT WILL.

PLEASE, AMERICA, VOTE FOR OBAMA. I'M NOT HIS BIGGEST FAN, BUT HE IS OUR BEST BET.

And all is right with the world…..

McCain and Palin seem to think their jokes and the dodging of questions without giving concrete answers are funny. That woman gave Sarah Palin and open ended opportunity to share her views and wisdom on foreign policy and what did she do – tell an unfunny joke! The McCain campaign doesn't really think much of us by throwing Sarah Palin at us to vote for. She's not HRC and I don't care what she looks like because being VP is not based on beauty but brains. I think that Tina Fey line that all the Republicans had been repeating ad nausem about Russia being a neighbor of Alaska and that's her foreign policy experience really took the wind out of that sail and people are beginning to see how STUPID that statement is. This woman is a FRAUD and we can't give her or Sen McCain an opportunity to do to us what's already been done by Bush/Cheney!!! Think women of America, THINK!

AFTER THE DEBATES WILL BE THE TELL, TELL SIGN, OF WIN

OBAMA NUMBERS WILL RISE.

Enough is enough

Say no to:

More War McCain
Taliban Palin

McCain is a disturbed hot head who we can not have as President.

Thats just today tomnorrow McCain will bounce back…..America needs security not talk

n 2006, the Alaska state branch of the right-wing Eagle Forum asked gubernatorial candidate Sarah Palin if she was offended by the inclusion of the phrase "Under God" in the Pledge of Allegiance:

Not on your life. If it was good enough for the founding fathers, its [sic] good enough for me and I'll fight in defense of our Pledge of Allegiance.

The Pledge of Allegiance was written in the late 19th century by a fellow named Bellamy (a Christian socialist no less!) as part of an effort to improve the circulation of the magazine he was with at the time and generally improve the condition of American boyhood, about which a certain amount of fretting was then underway about their collective constitution and resolve (widespread at the time; this was roughly around the same time Baden Powell started the scouting movement on your side of the pond).

So that's 100-plus years after the founding fathers were doing their thing. And even then, the words "under God" weren't inserted until the cold war, the better to highlight the difference between America and the Godless Russkies.

This is widely known in the US. There's been a controversial legal battle here over the last few years, and every news-following American has a pretty good idea of most of the above facts. This woman is an idiot.

…

maybe the Palin Star is going dim…hopefully
maybe americans are coming to their senses to realize she speaks half truths and lies
she is also corrupt but republican lawyers are working behind the scenes to squash this investigation so what does it all add up to
more crooked republicans like Bush and Cheney
Wake up now Americans before your country is dragged down for another 4 years
that little scene where she interrupted McCain yesterday to say what a wonderful person he was blah blah blah… was likely all staged before hand…..shes just not that smart!!
Obama-Biden 08

We are an election away from turning into a third world country. Gov. Palin's refusal to cooperate with the troopergate investigation is stuff third world countries are made of.

That's it? That's it? 2%
Is anyone planning to vote Mc/Palin?
She is a joke. A governor is unable to answer ONE question right…she stood there boooooooooooooooo…
Shame on America putting someone like that on the spotlight…
America, is that the best you can come with? Can't you do better?

This is too funny. The democratic machine in the South is now trying to "reform" voting laws to allow convicted felons and nonviolent drug offenders to vote. I wonder who they think they will vote for and why?

Any reasonable American that supports McCain-Palin ticket must be seriously considering withdrawing his/her support after hearing what Palin had to say when asked by a voter to give her foreign policy credentials.

Thank God—maybe the Amaerican people aren't as stupid as I gave them credit for.

Don't excited Obama people. This lead can go away at a moments notice. You have to keep registering voters and make sure they get to the polls.

It will be a fight to the end. But Obama will win. I don't believe in polls. The only one that will count will be the poll on November 4th

Of coarse Palins lead is gone, instead of running with the
GOP brand, it's the LIERS brand.
A economy which McCain is partly responsible for has
tanked.
It's going to be difficult getting Sarah Palin elected to
the white house.

Please CNN quit giving the Obamanuts hope!!!!!!!!!!

Mc Cain / Palin Up By 5 points is the real numbers

She shouldn't have kept repeating the same lies for 2 weeks. People are not THAT stupid, even when confronted with the truth, McSame and Palin, KEPT lying……That is NOT who the people want as president! If they are lying know, can you only imagine the lies, once in office and the power goes to their heads????????

If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on the Foreign Affairs, Envi ronment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.

If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to become the country's second highest ranking executive.

I'm voting for Obama on his positions, but also I like the man. I like what he stands for, I like his background, I like his firm belief that he can make a difference. He's literally put ting his life on the line to run for the presidency, and he definitely has my vote. I'm so excited about voting in November, and making a difference.

I happen to believe that Barack will think about Americans more. Like us he is concerned about the country he's leaving for his kids. McCain doesn't know how many homes he owns. Ironic.

So tune down the rhetoric America and really think seriously about your choice. It will make a difference.

GOOD LUCK ….. MC CAIN/PALIN

Palin should have deferred that question on Foreign Policy as it is not only the VP that makes those decisions or even the President (should she become President) it all the Cabinet appropriate personnel will get together and decide on the best action to take.

Sarah .. be cautious … good luck … Hillary is out, we are all for you!!

This is a one way ascension, polls will keep growing up for Obama…McCain had his shot, his missed it!

GO OBAMA the only sensible choice for Change!

Even though I dont make much of these polls since it's a very small sample of the voting pop, a 2% lead is better than being behind 2%.

I truly believe that after the debates that Obama's lead will increase but ultimately the election will lie in the hands of young and new voters who tend to favor Obama. If the nation has a high voter turnout, Obama wins this.

let's go out and vote!

Obama/Biden '08!

way to go Obama.
The convention bounce is over and that economy-week is extremely in YOUR favor. Way to go to the white House!

Obama/Biden by landslide.

Barack Obama attended Occidental College, but received his undergraduate degree in political science from Columbia University, an Ivy League member currently ranked 9th in the country by U.S. News and World Report. Obama also graduated Magna Cum Laude from the Harvard Law School, where he also served as President of the Harvard Law Review.

John McCain was ranked 894 of 899 at the US Naval Academy.

reformer of what?… certainly not economics

not even going there on the VP side of things.

I takes a while for social conservatives to recognize that voting for a Democrat is not a sin.

This is the third time I have tried to get a message in, but to no avail. I will try again and ask a simple question. Why were not the polling results of two of the good standard of polling not included. Rasmussen and Zogby were not in the group. Both have McCain ahead! One by five points. Check out the battleground states. Ohio, Michigan, Pennslyvania, Florida and West Viriginia. Pennsylvania is tied and Obama is carrying Michigan and losing all the others!

An experienced war hero or a college professor selling the politics and policies of Jimmy Carter? Hmm….

Its frightening to think that a man that benefited the most from a fallout on wallstreet can become our President. Its frightening to think that Fanny and Freddy who were run by Dems. literally ran it into the ground.

Its horrifying that a man talking about how bad the economy is just had a 28th. dollar a plate dinner and raised 9mill. when people are suffering in Texas and have lost their homes.

Its horrifying that a man with so many Gaffe's coming out of his mouth might be our next VP and who will over see foreign affairs.

The next frightening and horrifying Pres. and VP Obama/Biden.

I love the continued use of "It's the economy, stupid!". Only an uneducated mindless robot would actually believe that voting for and electing a particular Presidental candidate will change the economy. Aside from that, the only poll that matters is the one held on Super Tuesday in November, and I am not referring to the infamous and incredibly inaccurate exit polls. I am talking about the one where you step behind the curtain and make that choice that is between you, God, and the counters. Lose the emotional charge and who makes you feel all warm and fuzzy inside and vote for the one that logically is better qualified.

Mr. Boston dry your tears the hockey mom and the senile old goat is going down. I bet you a can of Boston Baked Beans they will lose in Nov. Get on board we are heading to the future of America you can be a part of it or …..BEGONE.

Imagine, just imagine, if Barack Obama would be white instead of half-white, the election would be over already with Obama elected to be our next president in a landslide. The current polls would certainly show him with a 20-30 point lead over McCain.

The question is often asked as to why Obama is not further ahead in the polls. The answer that pundits fail to enunciate is the fact that he is half African-American.

Wake up America, we are no longer living in the 1940's.

"Better late than never!"
The American people are FINALLY realizing what a disaster Mc/P would be.
There's hope after all that we may find salvation from the Repugnican abomination!

Go Dems 08/12/16/forever!

Mccain did it to himself with that horrible VP pick. He might of had a chance if he picked someone that wasn't an obvious pander. Say goodbye repubs!! Liberals are going to have control of the house, senate, and white house!! ABOUT TIME!!!

Hey Lefties, do not get excited, it is only the beginning. When the
truth comes out about the Fannie Mae's etc. and who was in charge,
i.e, Raines,Gerlick, Ole Clinton appointees,who come out with milllions and they are responsible for beginning of this crisis ,and then, Obama has received lots of money for his run for Pres. Give me a break, calm down you lefties!

Obama is going to give 95 percent of americans a tax break – wow what a liar…..45% don't pay any taxes.
94 Votes by Obama on tax increases and he votes YES to all of them – dreaming won't make him qualified or for the American People…he fits in w/Hollywood.

Although I am glad to see the Palin effect wear off and people finally start to think about the issues it does reflect how useless polls are at this stage of the game unless we start to see a trend develop.

Right now just back and forth depending on the news of the week

i mtold you obama will lose, ex hillary supprter for mcain, who cares about the party that did hillary wrong

How is there not a sampling error? You haven't polled every single voter that is voting in Nov.

Palin is a lier and she got a brain to no where.

There are waste disposal men on the streets today that are more qualified the Obama….

McCain supporters can disparage (bad mouth) Obama all they like on comment boards, at home or work (if you are lucky enough to have a job) or with their friends.

But when you are in that voting booth on Nov 4th and about the make one of the most important decisions of your life and your Country's, you had better think long and hard about your future, your childrens' future and your grandchildrens' future.

More of the same?

Or Change?

The choice is quit clear.

Its a start.

Once Americans really look at Mr. Magoo for what he is; a clueless fart that wonders on his positions then the lead will grow..

"Thanks but no thanks to McCain-Palin"

Looking at the last 8 years, John McCain's 26 years in Washington, and his amazing array of flip flops on nearly EVERY "stand" he has taken, how ANYONE could buy into his "maverick for change" BS and vote for him is beyond me. Oh yeah….52 million actually voted a second term for Bush. Sadly, the rest of us have to live with the consequences of their poor choices.

My god there are a lot of idiots here. READ CLOSELY: IT'S A "POLL OF POLLS"! They take several polls and average the results together. The results have absolutely nothing to do with CNN not being scientific enough in their methodology. It has absolutely everything to do with having basic math skills. Get with the program and pay attention!

Open letter to the right wing "Fringe" : It is time to start focusing on the issues that will affect your future. Not on the distractions that are being shoveled to you by the right wing media on a daily basis. If you do so and put away your biases, I am sure that you will come to the right conclusion and elect Obama as the next President.

Get on the Obama train. Obama/08 !!!

Thats what they say, when the polls are against us, they say its not accurate. HA!! White Here We Come.

OBAMA All THE WAY.

In what respect Charlie ?

These polls are all a joke. There's no way this election is going to be as close as the media would like us to think it is (which is what gets people reading the politics section). Obama is going to win handily. He has to. There's no way that America is truly such a collection of morons and lunatics so as to elect John McCain, who has turned his back on all his maverick past to say whatever he has to in order to please the mainstream Republican Party he USED to turn his back to, in order to see George W. Palin as the VP waiting in the wings while the economy continues to burn itself down to ashes.

Barack "Barry" Hussein Obama is my man in 08′!

OK CNN this is the last time I am going to try to respond to any of your blogs since I never seem to get on!
My husband and I are both voting for OBAMA this year. We have never been polled nor do we know anyone who has ever been polled. Just add two more to the OBAMA/BIDEN side. Thanks, I'm heading to another website.

People are paying serious attention to what is going now and tricks are not going to change the course in which the republican administration has been heading for 8 years. The time has come for a change in new direction and Obama/Biden will fix the country once again.

America has a big surprise for the repubs this year, they are doomed.

Obama/Biden 08/12.

GOOD LUCK ….. MC CAIN/PALIN

Palin should have deferred that question on Security because if there is a particular crisis, All the Cabinet appropriate personnel will get together and decide on the best action to take.

Sarah .. be cautious … good luck … Hillary is out, we are all for you!!

Two % points!!!
Given the fact that 13-20% of us are independant, third party, or undecided–plus the margin of error…this isn't even close to being statistically significant.

When he gets a 20 point lead in the polls then we can say it's news.

woohooo!!!!!!!! america sees the truth. go obama!

When you give CNN facts that we know personally – they take it off this post……a price is paid for deception CNN.
Two points up is nothing – there is a good 5-6 points that won't vote for Obama and won't say as they are afraid of being accuse of discrimation. We know many of these people.

Republicans are realizing that it is OK to be a maverick and vote for Obama/Biden.

That's all well in good, but I'm still paying attention to the state by state polls. And Even though those to have an error margin, it's a good indication of where we're at. But I do have to say, if Obama keeps registering voters and they will come out this year then that will help make the difference come election day. I went back to school and I know there was quite a few youngsters that hadn't registered and were being handing out the cards to meet the deadline and just about every last one of them were yelling Obama, so I'm staying confident.

Don't be suprised that the polls are close, I knew it would be back in the primaries and besides, you have to factor in those that are truly conservative and will not vote democratic, those that simply can't vote black, and those that are falling for the bulls..t that the McPalin crew is spewing.

The thing that is so misleading about these polls is they do not include one very important group…students.
College students, the large majority of them, just use cell phones, which these polls dont consider.
and unfortunatley for McCain…prolly about at least 70% of students will vote for Obama.
So to see Obama up by 2, without considering students, is very good for him.
Oh and i wasnt one of those Obama supporters to "hate" on the polls when McCain was ahead. they are the same polls that dont include students, and the same polls that dont matter since its not Nov. but it is a good sign for Barack

Obama 08

These polls can change on a dime. Those of us who support the Obama-Biden ticket must work, work, work like crazy to get them elected. Ask yourself: If you knew that by volunteering for just three hours would make a difference in the outcome, would you do it? Of course you would! We have got to work for a better America – one that sends the GOP packing.

Being here in Texas and dealing with the after effects of hurricane Ike..This administration has failed again…NO Republicain, No Way

That is because anytime McCain ties things up or moves ahead, the mainstream media (and its casts of thousands) begin to spin, spin, spin, and pound their drums any way that it takes to turn things around again to give the White House to "their" candidate. Whatever happened to fair and balanced reporting? Seems to have gone out the window 20 months ago when the media decided to coronate The Dalibama. Shameless.

Yes we can!

McCain was the wrong choice for this country from the beginning, the Republicans know it, so they selected Palin to distract the people… but the distraction is now fading. There are plenty of reasons: Tropergate…. Lies to nowhere… using yahoo (that is a totally UNSECURE channel) to send official business emails and avoid supervision… hiring friends totally unqualified for government jobs (I like cows!!) …. etc..etc…

Finally the american people are paying attention to the real issues at the stake on this election and not the whole republican distraction strategy.

Let's wait for the debates, when she will have no advisors to rescue her when a question comes her way. I just hope we get a moderator who does his job right, which is difficult since Tim Rusert is not with us anymore.

Yes, let's get back to issues!

What is causing the current economic crisis? The subprime mortgage meltdown.

When did the subprime mortgage meltdown begin?

In 2006.

Who was given an overwhelming mandate by the American voters in 2006?

The Democratic Congress.

Who voted 98% of the time with the Democrats in Congress?

Barrack Obama.

The legislative branch (Congress) makes our laws.

The president does NOT make laws — he merely enforces the laws that the legislative branch (Congress) makes.

OK, Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid — FIX THE MESS YOU MADE!

I'm not going to put a whole lot of credence in polls. They poll very few people with cell phones. They don't include any new registered voters. I, too, am looking forward to the debates. Then I hope we don't just vote based on with whom we'd rather have a beer. That hasn't worked out very well for any of us (other than the golden parachute guys).

Wait until after the debates, Obama's number is going to sky rocket!

Can you guys help me to say, "President Barack Obama?"

I like the sound of that!

Don't believe the lies. Obama will not raise your taxes, unless you make more than 250000 per year. Palin acts like a high school principal and does not seem qualified to be the potential leader of the free world. Women, this is no joke – yes we want to support women candidates, but there are too high stakes here. Bide your time and vote Obama.

CNN did a great job exposing how many BUSH people are surrounding Palin as she crusades herself as a person for change. I guess she means change of appereance not policy. AMERICA PLEASE MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION

Obama-Biden supporters, you would be wise to not celebrate too early. Polls go up, polls go down…and it ain't over until it's over. It's still a race for either side to lose. A lot can happen in 7 weeks and there are still many undecided voters out there waiting till after the debates.

There are many Independent voters like me who see Obama's lack of experience as troubling and who are also not too keen on having Democrats in control of both the Congress and the White House. Personally, I like a balance of power.

CNN Media lets not start again on Sara Palin being the top topic
of this elections! Lets talk issues only!!

Obama backers:

We do NOT need to say nasty things about whatshername to turn voters off to her. Apparently she can do that just fine for herself!

Stay positive. Register voters. Donate. VOTE EARLY!

YES WE CAN!

No suprise… Every time Palin opens her mouth his support go down 5% nationwide…. what a Joke…

I'm supporting Obama… and I still say this race will be too close for polls. It's not that Obama is not doing this or that… we are split as a nation. Just because %80 of US citizens disapprove of Bush doesn't mean they all vote the same. I don't think there will be clear answer until Nov 4th. I think everyone should stop following the polls and just focus on informing ourselves and others… because they are going to change day to day.

Given the news about the economy, this week McCain didn't have much time to make up new lies about lipstick, pigs, sex education, Obama's tax increase, and so on.

I guess next week he'll try to climb back in the polls with a new bunch of distracting arguments.

I know the line about "McCain/Palin being four more years of Bush/Cheney politic" is probably being over used, but it is getting to be more and more accurate as this thing goes along. Palin and her staff are IGNORING a SUBPOENA!!! Does that sound at all reminiscent of an event involving a bunch of attorneys a while back?!

After people saw the true Mccain and Palin that, lead start to evaporate!! With Palin being under investigation and all the lies, the numbers are going to really drop!! People are tired. We are struggling and we don't have time for nonsense. Mccain/Palin have nothing to offer for this economy or energy crisis!! At least Obama have laid out a clear plan for both. And for those who have any questions go on Obama website and the plans are all laid out!!

So, basically nothing has changed. Also, these national polls mean nothing. It's the state polls that actually matter.

and President Obama will put Tony Rezko in his cabinet. Dirty politics as ususal from the dems. But he claims to represent change anyway. Obama is a dirty Illinois policitian. Any politicial from Illinois is dirty.

Anyone happy with Cheney should vote for Palin. She's as selfish, manipulative and fake — no honesty, no honor. She can't even handle her own family, think about it. Her priority is mixed up.

America deserves better. Her bubble is popping.

Mccain and Palin hasn't powered out…..they are just getting started.
The excessive negative ads being put out by Obama against McCain is temporarily fooling some people……hopefully they will come to their senses soon and see the misrepresentation of facts, the distortion the Obama people is putting out bigtime.

. . . . Keep talking Sarah Palin.

Democrats 08.

are you better off today then you were 8 years ago? well john McCain thinks you are…"i think we can argue that over all, Americans are better off(than we were 8 years ago)"-John McCain, during an interview
this year. So, How are YOU doing? are you better off because i see a lot of people hurting

The Clinton ADM dropped the regulations for Mortgages, Financial field and Investment firms in 1999 – this is the reason for the problem we have today folks. Even DEm Dorgan tried to stop this relaxing of regulations – which was truly a travesty for American Taxpayers. Yes, I'm in the Real Estate field and know.
Who is heading the Obama run for Pres – Johnson and Raines who headed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae in the 2002-2006 raping the company of 130 million dollars for themselves. They were fined 400 million dollars and still are out their lying and ripping off Americans.
Who is the #2 recepient of this culprit called Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae? Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac are the true culprits in this mess. OBAMA FOLKS.
When all the facts are out the AMerican people will know.
The two points is CNN, FOx up by one, this by even and on and on and means nothing insofar as polls go.
Jack Johnson

OMG the libs are 2 points ahead!!! WHY ARENT THEY 1000 points ahead? All you whiners have been doing is complaining for years. I'm tired of it. Get the job done. Where's the landslide Dems? Why can't you people pull this thing out? If everybody is soooo sick of Repubs, why are they getting ANY votes at all? Even in the bogus, slanted, lib leaning CNN polls??? All I can say is, thank God the stupid Clintons are out!

Next 2 weeks Obama will lead in the polls
In October he won’t be stand GOP attacks
In October his face will be full of lipstick marks

The more she speaks and the more of her we see n the trail..It become clear that she's full of moose refuse

McCain's campaign has been diverted lately trying to cover up Palin's many indiscretions. Its not like they have anything to say anyway. They just take pot shots at Obama from the cheap seats. That seems to be their whole strategy. McCain/Palin are like dumb and dumber. She has only campaigned by herself one time because they can't risk her opening her mouth without the GOP script in hand.

it will continue to go up for Obama.

people will slowly see who mcbush really is.
a sly, dispicable creature who is apparently going senile.
he created blackberry? the economy is strong?

we don't want mcbush.
no more mcbush.

obama 08

Why are people attacking Sarah Palin?
Because she is so wrong for our country and so unprepared to step up as commander in chief. She has not spoken once in an intelligent manner towards her positions on foreign policy. I don’t feel she can even grasp the full meaning of foreign policy other than to quote her running mate and to say that Russia is dangerous. Other than that Sarah Palin doesn’t have foreign policy of her own.

Instead of answering a simple question on foreign policy she sarcastically told a friendly crowd of supporters that they could play stump the candidate instead of just honestly and openly answering their questions. She has so many shades of Bush/Chaney that it’s scary. If you give her a difficult question that you are branded as “against her” So you are either with Palin/McCain or against Palin/McCain. There isn’t room for disagreement in their campaign.

Sarah Palin is snide; disrespectful to the American People; sarcastic and not ready to be a VP of this great nation.

I hope Obama can actually close the deal. I want to know that he can win my state – so that I can vote my conscience and write-in Hillary Clinton. If it's too close to call, then I may have to make a choice I'd rather not have to make.

Obama – you need to close the deal. It's all on you and the VP you chose. You wanted this nomination this year and you promised you would deliver for the Democrats. So, let's see you win this and help candidiates down the Democratic ballot.

P.S. If I saw some real help from you with Sen Clinton's campaign debt, I'd feel more comfortable voting for you. Show the woman (and her supporters) some well deserved respect!

That's a relief to hear…though I can't stand polls.

Obama/Biden 08!

Wow, it looks like the "Palin Effect" is starting to wear off already.

now is the time all the Obamabots will cheer the same polls they were complaining were inaccurate last week.

you guys are funny

Here is the thought of the day.

Joe Biden's son is a lobbyist, huh…

EIGHT MORE YEARS – VOTE MCPAIN! Continue the economic, political, and foreign policies that have got us to where we are today! The top 1% may have 40% of all the wealth, but that just means theres 60% more to capture!

I can hardly believe that Obama is not leading by more except to say that the American people are just not looking at the whole picture as far as McCain is concerned. Obama is right, the old boys are nothing more than a staff meeting. America better wake up,and wake up fast. I DO NOT want another 4 years of Republican leadership (if thats what you call it). America is drowning in it's own greed and corruption and I want my country back.

If Palin keeps her fat trap shut, OBAMA wouldn't make so much money off her. She's an exceptional donor to the Dems.

As one commenter above suggested, it is true that "the fundamentals of our intelligence are not so strong". Are you kidding me here? I don't generally care that much about polls but I would have expected the lead for Obama to be extremely higher by now.

The choice for this election couldn't be any clearer!!!…I hope come November, the American people will send a strong message where they want this country to go. The stakes couldn't be higher!!!

america is starting to wake up…McSame and Hockey Mom have no clue how to get us out of the troubles we find ourselves in, that is so painfully evident when you listen to them try to answer questions or explain their actions. Go Obama Go!

You Obama supporters are hypocrites. When McCain was up in the polls, you said the polls mean nothing. Now it's Obama up, and you're ready to declare victory.

Get real, will you?

Which actually means he's up by around 7 or 8 points.

….but that wouldn't get ratings, would it?

I think the polls are wrong. Remember the pollsters are polling form those who have landlines. ……..Obama has a bigger lead…!!!!!!!!

How about that!!!!!!!!

BOJO/08/12

Feeling a bit like a used condom Sarah?

You should, as the republicans have definitely used you and had "their way with you"(hope that is biblical enough for you).

I know how the story ends. The tortoise beats the hare.

McCain's attacking Wall Street calling them "fat cats; greedy; and corrupt", and at the same time employing the human resources that supported that system; well McCain is going to pay a very expensive price in the polls……you can't have your cake and eat it too……..John!

The Republican's are NOT good stewart of the Economy. Time for a new direction! Obama/Bidem 08′

I dont put much into polls whether they are on Obama's side or McCains

But this is good news

But better news is that we have been registering news DEMS all over the nation

So lets get out and vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Obama will lose in Nov. Obama is putting out ads in Spanish, race baiting. So much for hope and change. Obama is a Chicago thug.

I HEAR THE CALLING OF THE GREAT NORTH MRS. PALIN.

IT'S WHAT.
WHAT.
IT IS?
MOOSE HUNTING SEASON!
YEAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO HOME PALIN!
THIS ICEBURG HAS MELTED AND YOUR 15 MIN. OF FAME IS OVER.

sssssss…that is the sound of the Palin hype machine slowly deflating out..Americans are not that dumb to vote for a pom pom cheer leader with zero credentials..this is a 2nd highest job in our nation, a mayor from a small town in nowhere Alaska and a BS in journalism from Idaho is hardly a strong resume..!!

Hey CNN why did you close comments on the Palin email "hacking" scandal? it's the most laughable thing i've come across this week.

intelligent people are insulted by the GOP ticket, there's just too many holes in their ship. let's get back to the issues! enough with the distractions! let's cart away the sideshow ponies and get back to the real race here please! Obama/Biden all the way!!

Palin is a joke- A mean spirited, angry, racist, prejudice, ignorant Dick Cheney wannabe.

McCain is a power hungry idiot that is obsessed with power.

When McCain was up, all Obama supporters kept saying that polls mean nothing or the cell phone owners are not taking in the polls so the polls are not accurate. Now, when the polls show that Obama is just couple of points ahead, they all cheer that the truth is prevailed! The fact is Obama supporters do not care much about reality. They are happy with whatever stirs their emotion.

The Democrats in congress are not without blood on their hands regarding the economy. The latest banking situation even more so. People believe what they want to believe but he truth about Democratic complicity in this will come out and erase for the last time Obamas leads.

The Democrats know the smoke and mirrors they are using right now to deflect their blame in this but the American people are going to know the truth before Nov and the Dems will do it to themselves again and loose another election (an I sure they will not take any blame)

the world does not need a cheerleader. palin would do well at a pep rally but would look stupid in the whitehouse. she has no credentials and only makes mccain look like a stanchy old man. he acts nervous all the time now and worried. she is making a joke of him in public. she needs to bowe out gracfully right now to save face later. she is nothing but a drama queen and her flipant answers to everything is getting so old just to listen to. her halo is gone and all that is left is a silly woman that is cluless as to how to run our country.

Now Obamabots the polls are correct, but last week there weren't because ur candidate was down. Are y'all clones of Keith Olberman? Just asking because y'all share a common goal of something y'all all lack. Objectivity.

Looking at a townhall meeting with Palin and McCain. I noticed that she's doing all the speaking. Is she planning to kill off McCain and become president. She's doing all the speaking and non of it is about the issues. This is the Basic "W" When, What , How and Who?

Keep that train ah rolling.

REAL ISSUES = OBAMA-BIDEN'08

Monday McCain ardently proclaimed the economy is fundamentally strong while Lehman Brothers went bankrupt, thereby putting our American financial situation on a Death Watch. Obama and Biden are still talking with the public about the economy, change and what's in it for the voter. Yes, I want a health care plan, yes I want to keep my house, yes I want all that and more for me, my children and my neighbors. Contrast that with McCain who can't stop with the outrage over Palin's e-mail possibly being hacked (Yahoo e-mail of all things for government communication), lipstick metaphors, and utterly irrelevant rhetoric. Come election day in November the voter will be struggling to pay to heat their homes, plus eat, plus pay for medicine, plus care for our horribly damaged troops returning from 2 wars. McCain will be down so far in the polls he will have to look up to see down.

This news are a relief. McCain and Palin may know where Russia is (just because Palin can see Russia from Alaska!), but seems like they do not know where Spain is. Anytime they are inquired about foreign affairs, they just go numb. Problem is, America needs to deal on its own domestic issues. That's why you need Spain, France, Germany, UK, Italy, all the western nation to cooperate with us on the international economic and military battlegrounds. Otherwise, we are just going to spend lots, lots of money abroad and forget that American people have a home!

Yes we can…Americans are smart enough not to be chaeted again by the GOP
Obama/ Biden 08
Obama/ Hillary 12
Hillary/ ……………? 16 & 2020

I support Obama, but poll dont me a darn thing. So what…..I'm waiting on the national poll on NOV 4th.

From: Deepak Chopra | Posted: Friday, September 5th, 2008

Sometimes politics has the uncanny effect of mirroring the national psyche even when nobody intended to do that. This is perfectly illustrated by the rousing effect that Gov. Sarah Palin had on the Republican convention in Minneapolis this week. On the surface, she outdoes former Vice President Dan Quayle as an unlikely choice, given her negligent parochial expertise in the complex affairs of governing. Her state of Alaska has less than 700,000 residents, which reduces the job of governor to the scale of running one-tenth of New York City. By comparison, Rudy Giuliani is a towering international figure. Palin's pluck has been admired, and her forthrightness, but her real appeal goes deeper.

She is the reverse of Barack Obama, in essence his shadow, deriding his idealism and exhorting p eople to obey their worst impulses. In psychological terms the shadow is that part of the psyche that hides out of sight, countering our aspirations, virtue, and vision with qualities we are ashamed to face: anger, fear, revenge, violence, selfishness, and suspicion of "the other." For millions of Americans, Obama triggers those feelings, but they don't want to express them. He is callin g for us to reach for our higher selves, and frankly, that stirs up hidden reactions of an unsavory kind. (Just to be perfectly clear, I am not making a verbal play out of the fact that Sen. Obama is black. The shadow is a metaphor widely in use before his arrival on the scene.)

I recognize that psychological analysis of politics is usually not welcome by the public, but I believe such a perspective can be helpful here to understand Palin's message. In her acceptance speech Gov. Palin sent a rousing call to those who want to celebrate their resistance to change and a higher vision .

Look at what she stands for:

–Small town values — a denial of America's global role, a return to petty, small-minded parochialism.

–Ignorance of world affairs — a repudiation of the need to repair America's image abroad.

–Family values — a code for walling out anybody who makes a claim for social justice. Such strangers, being outside the family, don't need to be heeded.

–Rigid stands on guns and abortion — a scornful repudiation that these issues can be negotiated with those who disagree.

–Patriotism — the usual fallback in a failed war.

–"Reform" — an italicized term, since in addition to cleaning out corruption and excessive spending, one also throws out anyone who doesn't fit your ideology.

Palin reinforces the overall message of the reactionary right, which has been in play since 1980, that social justice is liberal-radical, that minorities and immigrants, being different from "us" pure American types, can be ignored, that progressivism takes too much effort and globalism is a foreign threat. The radical right marches under the banners of "I'm all right, Jack," and "Why change? Everything's
OK as it is." The irony, of course, is that Gov. Palin is a woman
and a reactionary at the same time. She can add mom to apple pie on her resume, while blithely reversing forty years of feminist progress. The irony is superficial; there are millions of women
who stand on the side of conservatism, however obviously they
are voting against their own good. The Republicans have won multiple national elections by raising shadow issues based on
fear, rejection, hostility to change, and narrow-mindedness.

Obama's call for higher ideals in politics can't be seen in a vacuum. The shadow is real; it was bound to respond. Not just conservatives possess a shadow — we all do. So what comes next is a contest between the two forces of progress and inertia. Will the shadow
win again, or has its furtive appeal become exhausted? No one
can predict. The best thing about Gov. Palin is that she brought
this conflict to light, which makes the upcoming debate honest. It would be a shame to elect another Reagan, whose smiling persona was a stalking horse for the reactionary forces that have brought us to the demoralized state we are in. We deserve to see what=2 0we are getting, without disguise.

Please don't trust the polls! We Obama supporters need to stay focused and push hard. I don't just want Obama to squeak by. I want him to win with a clear mandate so that our country has a definite direction. Keep getting the word out. Send letters to the editors of your local papers, talk to undecided voters, and keep pushing!

The vanishing charm of Miss Congeniality. The re-appearance of real life problems.

And why this still isn't a landslide completely baffles me.
5% of America is the rich yet somehow 50% have been conned into voting McCain? They need to stop reading and believing all their email forwards.

Republicans in denial about their joke of a VP. Palin effect is over. Shine came off. If you think the debates are gonna help McCain or Palin you're in for a rude awakening. When it's all said and done

Obama 311
McCain 227

Mark my words…this election won't be close

I live in NC and I can't believe that they say the polls are 1 point ahead for McCain All you hear here is Obama. Everyone here is marketing for him and has signs in their yards for him. No one has called me for a polling. The polls are wrong. This man is dominating the election. Mc/Palin are nothing but money people. I still can't get over the fact that Cindy had an outfit on that cost over 300K Hell that is enought to feed my family for a year, pay my car off, pay my house off, pay for my daughters year in college. So who are the Elitist here.

Wake up people, I am a small business owner with 3 others and we are struggling to t stay afloat because of the capital gains tax. Sure I would love for Obama to get in to lower this for small business.

People are finally coming to their senses and seeing the light. The "pitbull" star will be fading soon and it will be the dawning of the age of a new nation under Obama and Biden.

i remember the same polls came out about Bush and Kerry . .Kerry was leading . . then on election day . . Bush had the most popular votes in history ! . .

The Republican base will come out in full force and put McCain and Palin well over the top

McCain Palin 08

American citizens are kept in the dark and treated like mushrooms by the main stream news medias. Don't believe me then try blogging some true facts about the Keating 5 as well as Palin refusing to co-operate on the abuse of power investigation and the GOP denying the legal obligation of having to testify when subpeoned.

I heard they were polling more republicans. I also wonder who they are polling. Though I am a republican I do have a brain and will not be voting for McPalin.

If Obama can't decide how he feels about the AIG bailout, then I can't decide to vote for him.
"O"bama
"O" = the BIG zero

Obama got his convention bumb. Then McCain got his. Now the real race begins. Obama has definitely been on the offese since Sept. 12.

I think the Palin pilot light is slowly going out.

Obama/Biden 08

It amazes me to hear people say Palin has more experience than Obama. The funny thing is when people are ask about her accomplishments, they can't come up with anything important that she has done.

I don't know if the polls are right, but everybody I talk to in SC is all about Obama. Yes, even some hard cold republicans have decided that McCain is wrong for this country.

Obama/Biden 08 by a landslide.

thanks to the bashing that has been relentless agains Sarah Palin, I thought the dems did a pretty good job of trashing HIllary, but they were just getting started it appears. Then again, the cnn polls are tainted anyway if it's the only station you listen to.

I am seeing a REAL desperateness in everyone I know. We all know this is OUR election — OUR future — OUR country.

McCain / Palin — represent EXACTLY WHY this happened on Wall Street.

PLEASE URGE EVERY MAN, WOMAN and TEEN TO GET OUT THE VOTE. These are scarey times, unprecentented.

Obama / Biden 08

Wow, it takes a stock market crash to get voters to think about our ruined economy. Instead of thinking about beauty contestants skinning a moose.

Thank you, Jesus!!

lol – funny how "its just a poll" and "they don't call cell phone users" when McCain leads and when obama leads its "finally, people are seeing the light"

you paid bloggers are too funny

This is good news. I wasn't looking forward to going to war with Russia.

Joshua

You beat me to my comment!

With the love of money in this country (which, by the way Sarah and John, is considered a sin), people vote with their pocketbooks.

Imagine if we had to pay the taxes and make the sacrifices of the American people during WWII…we would not have gone into Iraq in the first place.

So I'm going to repeat Joshua's comment – It's the economy, stupid!

It should be more than that, at least 15 points.

With the economy like it is it should be a no brainer.

Let's give Mr. Obama a chance to show us what he can do. If we don't like the direction he takes us in, then we can fire him in four years. This is the choice I've made. I hope others will join me.

Hopefully America is getting over Palin.

The margin of error on most polls is 3%. This one has no margin of error at all. The results mean nothing. They meant nothing back when McCain had a lead and they mean nothing now. The lead may never have happened, and getting anxious about every minor change in a fake idea like this one is ludicrous.

People are realizing Palin is a joke. She has lied since day one, continues to lie about the bridge to nowhere, and is now refusing to cooperate on the investigation of abuse of power, which equals GUILTY.

Even the "conservative" talk shows have stopped talking about Palin.

this Hillary supporter will not vote Obama/Biden.

There we go ObamaBiden………..
Hold it…
Hold it…
Hold it…
Hanging there president OBAMA

Woot! Can ya hear it? Can you hear it? That train is a-coming down the tracks and it's loaded with CHANGE…chugga chugga choo choooo!

perhaps we are getting back to the issues that count and away from barnyard animal cosmetics.

as the Dow goes so goes McCain ( the new regulator after 30 years )

"It does not have a sampling error." FALSE

Come on America….time to revive the economy, make education affordable for all of those willing to work hard, and for everyone to have affordable healthcare. Time to send the lobbiests packing.

Obama, and a strong team around him, will bring about the change we need. And, it starts with the citizens of the US in this election.

Add the third party candidates mcCain drops further in the polls. Finally Ralph Nader might do some good.

Just think how much McCain would be winning by, if the 90% of African Americans who are voting for Obama were called out on their racism!!

I hope John McCain will get down in the gutter with this liar and empty suit and fight him back. obama lies and cheats and will do anything to win.

CNN….Please inform us about Biden's statement this morning about his plans of taking more money from those making 250K a year and giving to those who make less…….He flat out said that it was what they intend to do.

Gee why work hard in America so you can help the financially iresponsible

Socialism…….

Your Poll of Polls is always wrong and always in Obama's favor!

Go figure……

You will be in shock on November 4th

When McCain/Palin win in a Landslide!

I am thrilled to see the tide is changing. Obama and Biden and all the Dems need to keep hammering McCain and Palin on the economy. Don't let up. McCain will surely be on defense if they kkep on it. McCain has not given ANY proposal on how ti fix the economy, he said he does not think it is necessary to come out with a plan now, where Obama has laid out a 6 point plan that is clear and concise. It is the economy, stupid!

I was not worried at all about this poll nonsense. I refuse to believe that the American public is stupid enought to take Mc Same and Puffy-hair Palin seriously! Aside from the fact that they have proposed no new ideas on how we can turn this country around, Sarah Palin has the most annoying voice that I have ever heard in my life! Do they really thing that we are so stupid that we'll be swayed by that "hockey mom/ pitbull in lipstick" bull? Bive me a break!

Obama/ Biden '08!!!

I can't understand the rational, why someone would want to vote for McCain/Palin. The economy is in shambles, the price of everything is sky-rocketing, our reputation in the world has been compromised, banks are failing, unemployment is high, healthcare is ridiculous, crime is out of control, and our nation is dwindling in debt. I don't want it to soud as if I am playing the race card but, I really believe that if Obama was white, he would be leading by at least 30 percentage points. Obama is America's last chance, if America wishes to exist. We are at a crossroad.

People, take a quick look at the electoral college map. Forget Florida and Indiana and NC and just give them to McCain.

Obama will win Minn and Wisc and PA. He's got a significant lead in Iowa and NM. All Obama needs to do is win Michigan or Ohio and the White House is his.

McCain can't get to 270 on my map. this one is OVER.

This is good for McCain, he likes to come from behind to win.

JUst one more TRUE factual reason to not vote for Obama:

He was head of a committee on Afghanastan and never ONCE, not once held a meeting on Afghanastan.

So, when this guy has had an opportunity to do something he hasn't. He talks a good game but, this and 180 present votes while in ILL politics paints another picture. One very different than what comes out of his mouth.

We need ACTION, not words. McCain has acted and his career PROVES IT!!

These are facts people. Not opinion. Facts!

With this week's economic news voters are starting to realize that it is not prudent to give the Republicans another 4 year contract. Republicans are even in conflict with themselves as GOP lawmakers blast the AIG bailout with a GOP president.

The race is getting hotter.

As we focus more on the issues like economic and gas problems, Americans we see the need to avoid the sam mistake that was made four years ago.

It's time to prevent four more years of Bush-McCain economic policies.

Obama should hammer more on the similarity of Bush and McCain policies while highlighting the ways forward for average middle men and women.

For its Obama all the way.

Obama//Biden 08

Don't worry "The Messiah" will tank without his telepromter at next Friday's debate-Sad but BO is so much like W it's scary-His team won't let him wander from "The Script".

Sarah Palin is NO HILLARY CLINTON.

Obama/Biden 08

If Sarah Palin doesn't start answering the questions asked of her Obama will win this by a landslide. John McCain did not put "country first" when he made his running mate decision. She may be a nice person, a good Mayor of a small town and even a good Governor in a sparsely populated and wealthy state but SHE ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO BE READY ON DAY ONE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. HER ANSWERS HAVE BEEN AN ABSOLUTE JOKE SO FAR.

To all the WASP, I say – You go girls!

the only poll that matters is the one on 11/4,.,,,

Is everyone finally coming to their senses? Obama is our only hope for pulling us out of this 8 year disaster. GO OBAMA!!

NO WAY, NO HOW, NO MCAIN/PALIN.

If Sarah Palin doesn't start answering the questions asked of her Obama will win this by a landslide. John McCain did not put "country first" when he made his running mate decision. She may be a nice person, a good Mayor of a small town and even a good Governor in a sparsely populated and wealthy state but SHE ISN'T EVEN CLOSE TO BE READY ON DAY ONE FOR THE WHITE HOUSE. HER ANSWERS HAVE BEEN A JOKE SO FAR.

Since neither my husband nor myself have been asked to participate in any poll I am responding to this article to have two more registered voters added to the Obama vote.
I don't think much of polls since I have never spoken with anyone who has been asked to participate, but in this neck of the woods here in Ohio most are placing their confidence in Obama/Biden. We are in a world of hurt and we need an intelligent voice in the White House (there's something we have not had in 8 years).
Country First is just be a slogan used by McCain/Palin to sway the voters. McCain has proven to both my husband and I that he is for McCain first and has no desire to put country first.
OBAMA 08!

If we are really tired of the Bush dictatorship, we will vote for Barack. That's if we're really tired, if not–we'll vote for McSame and Failin.

Obama/Biden 08

How many more bailouts are we going to see in this fundelmentally strong economy? Thanks repulicans.

of course we are seeing Obama's lead go back up….Clinton's words were prophetic & McCain's brief lead was due to absolute momentum and entirely illusional due to the barracuda poster chick!

Obama/Biden 08

Finally, the American people seem to be coming to their senses….(at least a majority of them)

I am praying that Americans are waking up!!! McCain and the hockey mom would be a reckless choice on the part of Americans to put them in office.

Yeaaaaaaah! Keep it coming baby!

Finally people are wising up, but frankly it should be higher. Our lives are at stake, literally!

McCain is not the worst political candidate ever,
Palin is!

GO-BAMA!

Up by two and climbing!

In your dreams CNN, that is what you would like to see, ask any democrat they believe that he is going to lose. I do my own polls and he is going to lose.

Finally, it seems that the Palin effect has dwindled. No more of the media reporting on lipstick, sexism, and 'unfair attacks'. The last two weeks have been about nothing but the GOP running from the issues and the fact they got us in this mess! LET'S HEAR THE ISSUES! From here on, we should be able to discuss the race INTELLIGENTLY and determine who is the best candidate for the majority of Americans, rather than the top 5% of wage earners.

We all know that CNN wants Nobama to win especially Jack Cafferty and Cambell Brown but it AIN"T going to happen. I had to quit watching CNN because of the bias and the bull that Campbell Brown puts out. It's too bad that their has to be so much bias in the news.

No surprise there. As America wakes up and realizes all the lies the McCain camp is spewing, he'll continue to lose support.

Anybody-but-McCain – 08

I can't wait for all you people who said polls didn't matter when Mccain was up to come back and try tp talk trash now that Obama is up. Completely predictable.

I hope this is the beginning of us winning the White House. A vote for Baack is important for Americans and America.

Yes we can.

Yes, we the "Average Americans" will prevail. Chnage We Need
I can not wait to Barack my Vote!
Obama/Biden 08

President Barrack Obama.

in other words…John "i will lie, cheat and steal" McCain is slipping? you mean all of the lies are catching up to him? you mean to say the American people are NOT as stupid as McCain would like us to be?

YEH!!! I hope and pray that Americans wake up and take notice of all the lies and half truths of the McSame-Palin campaign. They simply can't be trusted!

Palin said yesterday in the town hall "We'll be ready by January…..I'll be ready." Why hasn't anybody picked on that? She is admitting she is not ready right now with that statement. And she does not give any specifics. All of her answers are very generic, we want specifics.

sanity is beginning to take charge

Now here come all the Obamies saying how great these polls are, after disregarding them last week.

HOPE IT STAYS

You would think with the war, economy, job losses and everything else going on that OBAMA would have a double digit lead, but guess what they are essentially dead even. That tells me that the American people just don't like or trust Obama!!!

That is until Mr. Obama FINALLY debates Mr. McCain. He knows that once that happens the people of the US will see that McCain is the stronger candidate. That is why Obama says he will "debate anytime anywhere" however turned down all of the opportunities to do so to leave just 3 debates. Sad

Finally, people are starting to realize McCain is an idiot. Everytime he opens his mouth, the world's IQ drops instantly.

I think that we need to start seeing the raw data from these "Polls" because I don't think they are using a diverse enough sample set. I think that all the "news" (Entertainment Companies) outlets are fabricating this data to make their fairy tale race more marketable.
You can't trust any organization that puts advertising and financial gain above informing the public and the truth.

Don't really care for polls every day.

CNN, why don' t you report how Palin/Mccain lied about how many people showed up ath their rallies. Once they said 22,000 came out, but it was no more than 8000+. Last week the campaign said a least 10,000 people came, the place could only hold 4500 and it wasn't packed.

Mccain and his pitbull are not distorting the truth, they are pathological liars. Who in their right mind will vote for them?

YAY! Thank you AMERICA! GOD BLESS AMERICA! Please let us all vote, these are serious times, we can either stay the same or take a different course!

America is waking up to reality- Good Morning!

Sarah what color is your lipstick?

In what aspect, Mike?

Game over!

Americans as you can see Sarah Palin was not a big factor,the polls are saying so, she brings nothing to the table, the GOP will say what they want about her because they are stuck with her, its only a matter of time its gonna be over for McCain due to Palin and all of her issues.

Hey Sarah since you can see Russia from Alaska why not call over Putin for a back yard party.

CNN,

I will appreciate if you start live coverage on Obama or Biden speeches. Lately you have not been doing that. But you have Mccain and Palin replay of their speech at the town hall meeting!! This is why I watch MSNBC now because Fox are ignorant conservatives and you are just one step behind them of becoming the same way!!

Go get em Barack !! McCain and Palin are out of touch with reality, we do not need another 4 yrs of Bush in the White House.

Here comes the skewed polling numbers! They are desperate to hijack our government!

UP by 2, down by 5, even – wait until November 4th…
The Media has been wrong so much of the time, and the POll guys should get lost – they have been wrong so much of the time it's not funny.
Jack J
Seattle WA

Looks like Obama – the 1st mocking President – will end up controlling our lives.

If so I'll hope the next 4 years go quickly.

Can we please do away with polls? I'm convinced at this point that there is some guy in a windowless room saying to himself "I think I will put McCain up by 2 points this week." That's it. I yearn for the day when we can have a political process that isn't a joke….

All the political analyst predicted that the palin bounce would fade just like it did in the Mondale election. I too knew that all this hoopla sould soon fade over picking a hockey mom. I may have worked if she had been a soccer mom – there are more of them. LOL

I generally dont put much stock in polls that are so close. If theres a major difference by 7-10 percent or more then it seems more valid and credible. I look for this to happen in OBAMAs favor. The more Palin answers these questions with stock and meaningless answers the better for OBAMA> That cooupled with McCains ability to do a 180 on major issues and problems within 24 hyours should display to anyone with a brain that this ticket is nothing but fluff and pandering.

not only that we can, we will

Obama/Biden '08

McCain and Palin are struggling to distance themselves from the Bush/Cheney/Rove policies that have wrecked America. But there’s plenty of evidence tying McCain to Bush: the people running McCain’s campaign are running the Bush administration; like Bush, McCain supported the deregulation of the banking and insurance industries that led to the current economic collapse; now, McCain’s running mate is refusing to cooperate with an investigation by Alaska’s legislative branch, just as Bush has refused to cooperate with Congressional investigations. These folks are taking dangerous steps toward consolidation of power in the executive branch and its cronies. McCain/Palin clearly show by their campaign tactics that they’re just the latest face on the same old corrupt Republican party.

CNN polls. Oh my I know you got it right. Who the dickens do you poll. Los Angeles.

Its the economy, stupid

YUP
The Palin power has powered out!!
The lies and scandals to cover up her credentials has caught up!!
Finally, we can get back to the issues

Yes we can!

Let's face it, the Republican ticket is on the wrong side of history. The long slow slide away from the reforms made after the Great Depression may yet be halted before we get plunged into that darkness again.

**
Sorry CNN, your polls are not scientific, they do not cover 1st time voters OR cell phone users..
**

We are going to make it happen!!!

America is waking up from this pathetic palin distraction.
Obam will win this election as we need a leader like that to America at this time.

Here come the Obama backers to say how great the poll is but last weeks polls with Obama down were just wrong.

LMAO at Obama backers.

President Barack Obama, get used to it!!!

Is the Electoral College map really being updated? I don't think it has changed in quite some time.

Don't get your hopes up Obamabots

Is the insanity finally starting to clear? I certainly hope so for everyone's sake.

After this week on Wall Street….only 2 points? The vast majority of Americans are so eaily fooled and even more easily led.

VOTE OBAMA!!!!!!

MCCAIN HAS ANGERED US DEARLY, AND THUS SEALED HIS OWN FATE. THIS IS OUR STRUGGLE. THIS IS OUR FUTURE.

Polls mean nothing until after the debates.

Should be up more than that… after hearing Palin answer questions last night… I'm almost at a decision. She never answers questions all she does is come off like this mean spirited pitbull….

Where did they find this clown? Shame on them for presenting her to the world………… Hell my teenagers are smarter than she is…..

It's been amusing but this is not a game show and they do need to keep her silent if they plan to win the White house.

all the way to the white house.

And tomorrow he'll be down by 1 or 3 or whatever it takes to get the headlines.

Stop playing with us. It is very dangerous.

Obama/Biden '08

We knew that would happen. And the lead will become greater. This Hillary Clinton supporter will be voting for Obama this November.

tHAT NUMBER, HOPEFULLY WILL RISE WHEN PALIN IS FOUND GUILTY IN OCTOBER.

MAYBE THEN PEOPLE WILL WAKE UP, ESPECIALLY THE WHITE WOMEN IN THIS COUNTRY.

TAKE THE BLINDERS OFF AND WAKE THE HELL UP PEOPLE!

Just 2 % ?

It seems that the 'fundamentals' of our intelligence is NOT that strong

Once the bright shiny object was discovered to have a few chunks of moose gristle attached, people started coming to their senses again.

I'm going to be very candid. After the White House denounces McCain's fundamental argument, and admits that George Bush is too overwhelmed to discus economical failure with the American people

Anybody who votes McCain is an ignorant, fascist traitor that should be exiled for their gross denial of doing what's best for the United States. Country First, yeah right, what they mean to say is Me First.

ONE NATION

The American people are finally starting to see through the sideshow of McBush/Palin. Good job American. THANKS BUT NO THANKS ON MCBUSH AND HIS BRIDGE TO NO WHERE VP PALIN!!
