This election is a wrap. Obama will win if the states don't cheat us. I'm sure of it.
Looking Good!
Go Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!
Seems that people are starting to their research and see through McLiar & "Daily Scandal Palin"'s bs. I can't understand how any intelligent person could vote for McBush. Give our country a chance and vote for Obama or an Independent that has a clue.
OUR TIME FOR CHANGE HAS COME.
You say:
"A new Quinnipiac poll shows the Arizona senator with a 4-point lead in Colorado"
but then you say:
"Colorado poll for Quinnipiac/Wall Street Journal/Washington
Obama: 49 percent
McCain: 45 percent
Unsure: 6 percent"
Huh? Am I missing something?
This is going to come down to turn out. Whichever side turns out the higher percentage wins. Obama will win because these polls are conducted with "likely voters," not first time voters that are considered unreliable.
In Florida alone, there are 300,000 more first-time Democratic voters than Republican first timers. Add in the enthusiasm for Barack Obama's historic candidacy, and you have a recipe for victory.
Same thing goes in Ohio and Pennsylvania, where college students (who haven't been polled) will decide the outcome.
Excuse me CNN!
Correct this one:
while a new Quinnipiac poll shows the Arizona senator with a 4-point lead in Colorado. ???
Actually it's Obama who is leading by 4 points in CO
You should correct this story. The Illinois senator has a 4 point lead in the Quinnipiac poll of Colorado...not the Arizona senator.
Just give it time the numbers for Obama will go up to the Sky!
McCain = no change
Obama/Biden 2008
These "poll of polls" are so dumb. Just give individual polls, quit averaging them all together. Most individual polls in FL show McCain leading and most individual polls in Minnesota show Obama leading. Averaging them just doesn't make since.
The media wants a horse race.
Don't you mean "a new Quinnipiac poll shows the Illinois senator with a 4-point lead in Colorado"?
Why doesn't Obama have a double digit lead? Are 40% of independents racists too??
come on colorado
We need yall.....
Obama/Biden 08
Obama will win because The National Organization of Women, NOW, has endorsed the Democrat ticket because there is no woman on the ticket.
I think women like Sarah Palin are better off at home raising kids than trying to involve themselves in traditionally male dominated things like politics.
People do not fall for these Polls– there are many groups for Obama that are not being captured because they do not contribute to these polls... Election day will be the deciding factor–
Don't fall for these polls!
These polls are crazy! They change daily from 3 to 5 points YAWN! Ditch the polls and let McCain and Obama go at it in debates .... I can't believe people get paid for polling, talk about your wasteful spending!
Obama/Biden 08
Wisconsin = Red !! Liberals, move to your Holy Land (FIB's).
Please get back to me when the 'poll of polls' includes cell phones and newly registered voters.
Obama going dooooownnnn...
Americans tired of democrat owned congress ruining gas prices (how you can blame republicans is ridiculous) and democrats have had oversight of market committee for two years now and you are blaming republicans for the metldown?
look in the mirror people, your own party is destroying this country....things were just fine until 2006 when Dems took over! Think about that...
You say in your piece, "Colorado shows a 4 point lead for the Arizona senator" Correct it to "Illinois" senator.
The problem with the "poll of polls" is it includes polls that are out dated. Obama has absolutely had great state polling the past 2 days. I highly recommend pollster.com for the best in poll coverage.
REPUBLICANS FOR OBAMA
Please correct your article. The Quinnepiac poll for Colorado has Obama up NOT McCain as the article states.
ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ! WE ALREADY KNOW THIS CNN!
BRING ON THE DEBATES!
I CANNOT WAIT TO SEE HOW THE "TOO OLD" NOMINEE AND HIS OUTSPOKEN PARTNER IN CRIME HANDLE THE SPOT LIGHT WHEN THEY CAN'T ANSWER A QUESTION!
OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 ANY DAY, ALL DAY!
So does Obama have the lead in Colorado or McCain? The words say McCain, but the data shows Obama. I tend to lead towards the latter.
"while a new Quinnipiac poll shows the Arizona senator with a 4-point lead in Colorado."
Unless there have been some major geographical changes overnight, you've got this wrong. Obama is leading 49-45 in Colorado in this poll.
Can you fix this error?
"...while a new Quinnipiac poll shows the Arizona senator with a 4-point lead in Colorado."
Colorado poll for Quinnipiac/Wall Street Journal/Washington
Obama: 49 percent
McCain: 45 percent
Unsure: 6 percent
"while a new Quinnipiac poll shows the Arizona senator with a 4-point lead in Colorado." THIS IS BACKWARDS
The Quinniac polls above show Obama leading McCain by 4 points... They can't even read the polls corectly-
Yes, we can! Yes, we can! Change we need! No way, No how, No McCain, No Palin. We don't need more of the same.
CNN, Obama is up by four points in Colorado. Your article is wrong.
Enough with the polls. The only poll i'm interested in is on 11/4/08. But if you're looking at polls, wait until the debates are over. That poll should tell us who will win the election.
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
Obama won Colorado during the convention.
You can bet your life on that one.
For once... I want to see a real poll. One that includes the millions of people who don't have land lines. Also where are the numbers for the younger voters (18-21)? I have a feeling that this election is not as close as the media hypes it up to be...
Hey CNN.....Who has a 4 point lead in CO? Might wanna have whoever "edits" this crap to take fewer smoke breaks....
Are these the same polls that said a year ago that it would be RUDY vs. Hillary from each party for president??
You people never learn and thats why we are in the mess we are in now! We are a bunch of idiots and deserve what we get if we believe things that have proven to be wrong or lies in the past.
I have to say, I am a little thrown back by Sara Palin. She keeps saying everyday that she wants to bring transparency and reform to Washington. But she does not even have transparency in her own state. She has “instructed” her staff people (who work for her) not to answer subpoenas for the investigation on the trooper case. Citizens of Alaska have inquired about the issue, they want transparency. Now the small case has reached public interest and the rest of the public is now being ignored. Palin is saying that the investigation is now political. But, that happens when you are in office. The other side will ask question and try to shade light on any flaw they see. It is up to her to show that there is nothing to the allegations. If she won’t be transparent on that issue, I don’t think she will be transparent on any serious concerns the American people may have if she gets in office. For undecided voters, she is not being very transparent right now.
Presumably that should read "while a new Quinnipiac poll shows the Illinois senator with a 4-point lead in Colorado," and not "the Arizona senator."
YES!!! SENATOR OBAMA THE NEXT PRESIDENT OF THE US
gonna be a blow out.
Obama'08
Indiana is orange, not red, and it'll be blue in a few weeks. Simple as that.
I thought Obama was up 4 in CO?
Which candidate has an actual plan for this bailout again? Neither one? I guess I'll be voting third party this year.
The supporters for Obama are working it day and night. Keep it up.
No way, No how, No McCain.
Obama/Biden 2008
So much for the polls! Of interest now is the fact that Gov. Palin is getting a crash course on foreign diplomacy by meeting nine heads of states in one day with nary a word to the press.
The Colorado poll that you cite is actually revered, Obama has a four point lead (49-45) on Mccain. Please be more careful from now on.
Who cares about these polls, its worthless attempts by the media to try and manipulate your vote. All that matters is election day.
CNN comment section meltdown 4...3...2...1. All of the evil racists are against Obama. He is the savior of the universe. How dare people vote against him. Ahh, to be dumb like his kool-aid drinking worshippers.
You can poll of Poll until you drop dead, all I know is our next president once in a life leader is going to be Barack Obama.
So it took a financial meltdown to wake some people up? McCain/Palin are trying to lie their way into the White House.
I didn't realize that a 4 point advantage in key battleground states was the same as "dead even" when there is no sampling error...
I don't believe these polls regardless of who they say is ahead or behind. I think CNN and other news organizations report them like they are this close to keep their ratings up. I also think that a percentage of people lie to pollsters when they call just to screw up the numbers.
Just look at the primaries for evidence of this.
Go Obama!
VOTE REPUBLICAN! AGAINST YOURSELF and your loved ones!!!
Go John/Sara 08
Hillary 012
Enough with these polls! There are too many of them and they never make any sense.
O'BIDEN 08!
Palin is actually banning any media from her meeting with foreign leaders today. Only photographer are allowed. People voting for this lady must be out of their minds.
CNN please do you job right Obama is 4 points ahead in Colorado not Mccain.
I had breakfast at an International House of Pancakes in Florida this morning. With that on my resume, can I be a VP replacement for Sarah?
YAY! National polls are crap but state polls are always on point!
I'm going to volunteer here in Florida for the Obama campaign. We can't let what happened in 2000 and 2004 repeat itself! Florida Dems unite! Independents and Reps who know McCain/Palin are the wrong choice....cross party lines and vote for real change! Obama/Biden 08!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
As long as Barack keeps it close in the polls he'll win it in Nov. New voters haven't been included as it has widely been noted and the Dems have outpaced the GOP with registrations in some cases 10 to 1.
Obama's GOTV will be the deciding factor here.
No bailout of Wall Street!!!!! Let it fail and let the housing market adjust to realistic levels. It's outrageous that people are paying so much for real estate. I DON'T WANT MY TAX MONEY USED TO REWARD THESE FAT CATS!!!!
I do not believe in these polls.
Right,
I think you meant "Illinois Senator" with a 4-point lead. That or you misprinted the poll numbers.
Obama-Biden all the way... but personally, I'm more interested in how crazy and unique this race is, regardless of who wins.
"Those who want government to regulate matters of the mind and spirit are like men who commit suicide because they are afraid of getting murdered."
– Harry Truman
Are you someone who believes it's critical that Obama and Biden win this election? Volunteer!! Call your local Obama office and offer to provide rides on election day. Voter turnout will make the difference.
The only numbers that matter are on November 4. Everyone go out and vote:)
WHO CARES about your polls. They only say what the press wants them to say.
Polls are just the medias way of trying to manipulate an election.
I find it soooo stupid that all of Obamas followers are predicting a landslide,,, well if these stupid polls mean anything at all, then what sort of dim-wit comments it that?
Everytime one of these stupid polls get published the Dems all run around and puff thier chests out saying, we will win, we will win.
Polls mean nothing people,,, Nov 4th means everything
CNN polls are so useless when 88% of their viewers polling are democratic.
Gallup polls which are independent show Obama losing points at record speeds, yet CNN reporting he is gaining? Too funny.
Obamas reasoning on voting 4 times to support mortally ending the life of babies that initially survive abortions "To save a baby would demeen the decision of the womans choice to have an abortion".
**So suffocating or strangling a surviving baby which is what they do is humane because the woman wanted an abortion?
Obama on abortion: "I don't want my kids punished with a baby if they make a mistake."
I am pro-choice, I am a registered Democrat. However, I will not vote for this man due to his extreme ideologies, his corrupt mentors, friends, and his anti-american wife. No way, No HOW!
Who are you really, "Feminist Julie"?
I believe that women who choose to have large families should put kids before career, though it is possible to have both. (I should know. I have six.) But your statement sounds like the 1950s.
Don't believe polls! The data can be manipulated like the touch screen voting machines. Call the Obama campaign and offer to make phone calls, go door to door and get out the vote. We must show up in droves to get the
republicans out of the White House and we can do it! OBAMA 08
The new Quinnipiac/Wall poll shows Obama up by 4 not McCain...
It seems as if the polls must be wrong....ALL the people that I know and talk to are voitinig against Obama.. CNN and NBC only want to here their canadate if leading...
jim Holland
The introductory paragraph says "while a new Quinnipiac poll shows the Arizona senator with a 4-point lead in Colorado."
The table printed below says Obama is ahead in Colorado.
"Obama: 49 percent
McCain: 45 percent"
Which is it?
I got phone call from poll co. I told them My family will vote for Obama. But on 4 nov. we will vote for McCain. Other wise they will consider us racist.
I wish someone could take Joe Biden aside and tell him that this election is not about his close relationship with John McCain, it is about correcting 8 years of government without controls. Let's put America first and correct this mess.
If mcCain was up by 1 point anywhere this ticker haedline would have read very differently
-V
It is hard to have any faith in McCain when all he offers is his past total support for Bush-Cheney policies, impulsive reactions that he quickly flip-flops from, the selection of the bazaar Palin for his running mate and claiming credit for the 'surge' success. Even the 'surge' at best is questionable as while the violence is down, nothing else is accomplished and we are still paying all of the costs, plus then it is questionable as to whether the Anabar (sp?) Awakening had more to do with any reduction in the violence or if the surge would have even worked without the Awakening (where Iraqi's took responsibility in their neighborhoods). On top of all of that McCain and Palin have both demonstrated a clear propensity for dishonesty. As I say, it is hard to have any faith in the McCain-Palin ticket.
When will we get to see some poling data factoring in the young voters with no landline? When those numbers come in, the election is over. Unfortunately for CNN, MSNBC, et al, so is the ability to keep this race close and keep our interest up.
Obama/Biden 08
This whole thing is a media driven ploy to make themselves seem relevant. No matter who wins we are going to hear at least 1.5 years of the media claiming there were some "irregularities" in the election. After that we will then have another year of gearing up for the primaries. Follow that with another 1.5 years of primary and general election campaigning. Congrats media, as long as you can keep the counrty divided and the elections close you will always have a "news story" to report.
Vote Obama.
It's time to give Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi a blank check to run the country however they see fit no matter the consequences. I am willing to bet your children's future on it.
Poll numbers are not ELECTORAL VOTES. Bottom line is that it only takes ONE VOTE in any state to give a candidate ALL of that states ELECTORAL VOTE
If Obama is the second coming of MLK, then I'm Shiva, The Destroyer of Worlds. Wake up and see his socialist agenda for what it is.
Polls have Obama with a slight edge in Indiana, yet they still show it leaning McCain. What's up with that?
There is no way the people of Wisconsin is dumb enough to vote for McCain.
I will also bet that Minnesota stays in the democratis column
NC registered in ONE day the following NEW voters.
3700 dems
1070 reps
50 libertarians
2300 unaffiliated
Go Figure
The Quinnipac/WSJ/WP Colorado poll shows that Obama is up by 4 points. This is listed correctly below, but incorrectly in the write-up for the story, which says the "Arizona senator" has a 4-point lead in Colorado.
I know that the American people are smarter than to allow the news media to divide and conquer on a racial issue and let mccain win this election. If we look at the elcetion with an open mind, every one can see that mccain did not research palin background, because she has to much baggage to even be considered as vp. I am not speaking of family matters, she is to heavy. Palin evidentally lied to mccain, and he accepted her lies without checking. We should not want anyone as irresponsible as mccain as my president.
Nail biter...no matter what your leanings....Polls or not....it's a nail biter.
If election is close republicans can steal it again, I can almost guarantee that Ohio is going to be close and Obama will probably win because of economy. Exit polls will show Obama win, but voting machines will give it to McCain.
It's the ground game on Nov. 4 stupid.
Obama has it, McCain does not.
Simple as that.
The poles do not reflect all the new voters registered by the Obama campaign. The new voters will vote and increase Obama's lead by 3-5%.
Where are in 2008 CNN
We are not believing your Polls
Than candidates pundits are misleading us
Hillary 2012
Mc Cain / Palin 08
JOE FROM PA. YOU INVENTED BEING AN -HOLE. YOUR NOTHING BUT ANOTHER YOUNG O.B. SUPPORTERS AND HATER. YOU DONT KNOW REALITY FROM THE FANTASY WORLD OBAMA HAS ALL YOU LOST ,MINDED SUPPORTERS IN.HE IS THE PUPPET MASTER AND YOU ALL ARE HIS LITTLE PUPPETS. HE WILL TELL YOU ANYTHING YOU WANT TO HEAR FOR YOUR VOTES AND DONATIONS. MCCAIN AND PALIN ARE STRAIGHT FORWARD AND DONT HAVE TO PROVE ANYTHING,THEY ALREADY HAVE THE EXPERIENCE AND TRACK RECORD. OBAMA HAS ZIP. HE ONLY HAS A CULT OF HATING FOLLOWERS. COUNTRY FIRST MCCAIN/PALIN THAN REFORM
Scott L-
Policies put in place years ago are the reason for problems today. If you actually are a thinker, as you seem to project yourself to be, you would open your mind long enough to admit that. And the 2 years the Dem's have controlled congress have been to "RECORD BREAKING" fillibusters by the republicans. No other congress in US history has abused the fillibuster rule as often as the Repugs have in the past two years.
Bailout of wall street as demanded by the criminals themselves
or nothing, which the same criminals are certain will sink the economy
is FALSE CHOICES!!!!!
FREEZE HOME FORECLOSURES, and
START SPENDING TRILLIONS ON PEOPLE
renegotiating mortgages and creating jobs!!!!!
HELP ONLY THE BANKS THAT HELP PEOPLE!!!!
So basically Obama lead in all but one – which is a tie. All close – but this fact is not noted in the article.
Obama will "excuse" Biden from the ticket because they just can't see eye to eye. He will then ask Hillary Clinton to come aboard as VP and the two of them will take 70% of the vote in November.
This should be the year for Obama and Dem but the polls indicated differently and are so close for all these states, why? I think we all know why. Guess, we all know inside our heart who will lose this election.
Are you surprised??
CNN routinely shows polls that in some way favor
Mccain.
If they are not bringing up the race issue, they are
distorting the polls.
We should ban, except for Jack Cafferty, CNN.
Prob just wasted my time with this, as CNN's
vetting is much more strigent than Mccains.
"Podcast: GOP blamed for Wall St. crisis, new poll says"
LOL!!!!!!!! What happen GOP?? Huh??? LOL!!!!!!!!
I'll let you figure out all by yourself and see how the game is REAL played...LOL!!!!!!!!!
So what happens when you factor in the Bradley effect? There are millions of voters who say they will vote for Obama to a poll, but won't in the privacy of the voting booth. Obama can join his 'bro' Rangel on the outside looking in.
"Why doesn't Obama have a double digit lead? Are 40% of independents racists too??"
Look at past elections, and go ahead and let me know how far back you have to go to find a president who has won double digits of the popular vote.
It was Reagan vs Mondale in 84. Before that, you have to go back to Nixon vs McGovern.
Double digit leads are *very* rare in US presidential elections.
"while a new Quinnipiac poll shows the Arizona senator with a 4-point lead in Colorado."
uhm you have the wrong senator. Quinnipiac shows Obama up by 4 in Colorado.
I can't understand how this can be even close ? How can the people so easily be fooled by the Republicans ? In particular in this economy, in this election ... are we as a nation really that stupid ?
I'm still waiting for somebody to poll me and for anyone else I know for that matter. Although it's beyond me, this will be a close a race. I'm from Mississippi and I know that Obama will have trouble winning here. This state has voted Republican too many times to count but I really hope this year will be different. This is the year we stand up and declare that we will no longer accept things as they are. We will be engaged as citizens of this country and elect a president who is equally committed to setting a new direction for the USA.
Forget these polls. They said during the primaries that Wisconsin was close btwn Hillary and Obama and he won by 17. They said he was way down before Iowa and he won there too.
The media is trying to make this a horse race.
I'm going to early vote right now and later register some more people.
Obama/Biden 2008/2012.
CNN OBAMA HAS THE LEAD IN COLORADO NOT MCCAIN ... CORRECT THAT PLEASE
Guys
CNN is in the business to make money like all other MSM.
Of course they are going to have attention grabbing headlines like these.
Here is my prediction.
On November 4 Obama will be the winner in the eletorial college with Florida in his column.
Obama/Biden:289
McCain/Palin: 249
McSane can have Ohio.
Dear Scott L,
Do you kiss your mother with that filthy lying mouth??? The republicans have been screwing everything up since 1999-2000 with the help of PHIL GRAMM derugulating the entire system It's his fualt and who guessed who backed him... that's right the Republican majority in congress. Honestly I hope your just a McCain campaign worker because for an avergae citizen to say something so outrageously untrue means that you must be watching FIXED NEWS CHANNEL, or as we in the real world like to call it, Bush Administration Talking Points TV. If you are just this naive naturally then you must live in West Virginia or Ohio. Let me guess, the next thing to come out of your mouth will be "DRILL BABY DRILL". GOP voters are sheep. If they still vote republican after what has happened the last years, GOP voters truly are stupider then my wildest imagination, all the while convinced that they are doing the right thing.
Why does the story say the "Arizona senator with a 4-point lead in Colorado." When the poll shows Obama 49 and McCain 45? Which one is incorrect? I find this happens many times.
Georgians are going door to door to get the neighbors, OBAMA/BIDEN all the way
McCain has been against regulation on the financial markets as far back as I can recall. During his campaign speech, he and Palin screamed about smaller government. Now, they have fiip/flopped about wanting more government regulation. If he is such a "maverick" why doesn't he stick to his guns and what he believes in. Speaking of social security, a republican senator stated last night on a news program social security, even after this mess, should be privatized! It may take years for the economy to recover, the government is listening to some of the best financial people available and yet John McCain criticizes Obama for not coming up with his plan already. This is something that can not be rushed. How did McCain come up with a plan overnight for the financial markets and some of the brightest people are still haggling with this mess?
"things were just fine until 2006 when Dems took over! Think about that…"
I am thinking about that, and it makes my head hurt to believe that anyone could be stupid enough to think that everything was fine until 2006! Gas prices were already going up. The stock market was already going down. Most of Congress's bad ratings are because they were elected to stop Bush from destroying the country, and the Congress voted along with the Republicans instead. Trying to blame the past 2 years of a Democratic congress that's been going along with the president all across the board is beyond ridiculous – it's brainwashed!
Scott L,
You sir are officially a tool. You should do some simple Math, it's kind of hard to fix 6 years of deficit in 19 months, lack of accountability and plain lack of competance has brought this on, How do you go from having a $281B surplus to a $357T deficit and then you want to say that it the Dems in congress, Wow I think the McCain camp is hiring you should be a shoe in.
Military Member for OBAMA
TELL THEM YOU ARE WATCHING!
HELL NO TO BAILOUT OF CRIMINAL BILLIONAIRES!
SPEND TRILLIONS ON PEOPLE
WHO ARE LOSING HOMES AND JOBS!
TELL THEM WE THE PEOPLE WILL NOT WAIT FOR TRICKLE-DOWN!
The thing about polls is 60% of the time they're right, every time.
What utter nonsense. This just proves that these "scientific" polls are nothing more than pure public relations baloney. We are heading for a possible Depression greater than the last one, and the American people know that it has been caused by decades of Republican sponsored government corruption. The notion that the Republicans have any chance at all in November is absurd. I have one comment...get real!
Scott,
Why is it that most Americans have absolutely no grasp of their own history? This did not happen in 2 years. This meltdown took 25 years to occur, starting with Reagan. When government is run by people who don't like government, this is what happens. Conservatism is to blame, all the way around. You may be shortsighted, but the American people can see through the spin. Obama, all the way.
These polls change everday. I do see that the deciding facter in this election wont be"walmart moms" or "white women" , but will be the new first time, and young voters. They have never counted us in electiosn before as we never really showed up. The polls dont call cell #s. How many people under 30 do you know that have land line?
If the new and young voters turn up(which I see happening ) in record #s. Obama will clearly win. lets just hope this doesnt come down to recounts (remember 2000) or the elctoral college getting over on us.
I felt disinfranchised in 2000 (as a 1st time voter) and i dont want the Supreme Court making the decision for us.
Young people come out to vote! do early voting (began yesterday in GA) so we dont have to have it be a nail biting ending.
FYI expect long lines and a little disorganizing in some of the less predominant wealthy areas.. it happened in Metro Atl in 00 and 04
If there is a phony terrorist "alert", McCain will win.
If there is a phony racial "crisis", Obama will win.
Who's theater will be the best? Why not vote Green Party?
It is conscience before corporate politicains.
look Obama supporters are already claimging there being cheated if they lose....VERY SAD....
Obam will not win, because if he was the choice he would be way ahead and the fact that he isn't speaks volumes. !
The majority of the country leans to right center. That is going to spell doom for Obama and all his socialism.
thank God!
Obama aint gonna carry a single state in the south.....game over....
Democrats are already starting to line up their excuses for the upcoming Obama defeat. They've already starting throwing the "racist" card and, mark my words, as soon as the polls open they'll begin their usual false charges of "voter fraud" and "voter intimidation" even when the facts show that in actuality they are too dumb to figure out a ballot.
No more idiots in the White House!
My only concern is the devastion and garbage that will be left by Bush and the GOP (Greedy Old Party) will leave for Obama and Biden to clean up.
There is a media conspiracy, allright. But it is NOT a vast left wing conspiracy as alleged by Republicans, it is a conspiracy to maximize the bottom lines of the mega-corporations that control the lion's share of the electronic and print media; e.g., Disney, GE, Time-Warner, NewsCorp, Hearst, Tribune Co., etc.
If one side pulls away in the polls, watch as media attacks on that party increase to make the race tighter. If the other side pulls away, watch for the reverse.
The game today in media is all about profits, and nothing else. Nothing will maximize profits like close political races, especially for the office of POTUS. The closer the race, the more people tune in, so ratings are higher and so is ad revenue. This is more true on the tee-vee and radio side, but also can be seen in print media.
I watched this play out during the Obama/Clinton race. Every time one pulled ahead, the media attacks on that candidate would increase.
I cant understand how the 45% of the poll takers can even think about voting for mcCain. Are they for real??
How could someone support the party who has put us into a trillion dollar debt... McCain is no different from Bush. He just says he stand out of his party to win over the stupid Americans who believe anything..
Plz wake up
I really think this will be a very tight election. A lot of people voting do not want a Black president, but there are those who are not happy with the Republicans.
You can see it in the polls now.
And it will be one that goes down in history no matter who wins.
It's a very exciting one, too.
OBAMA=JUST SPEECHES.
OBAMA=JUST WORDS.
OBAMA=JUST EMPTY RHETORIC.
OBAMA=JUST LIED.
OBAMA=JUST EMPTY SUIT.
OBAMA=JUST INEXPERIENCE.
OBAMA=JUST UNQUALIFIED.
If Obama is the one this world will be destroyed within the next 2 to 3 years. (ANTICHRIST)
The two candidates are showing their temperment in a crisis:
McCain: react immediately without knowing the whole picture; change and shift as details become apparent; accuse the other side of being to blame and if all else fails take the other guys policies and pretend they are your own
Obama: have the fundamentals of a plan and vision; study the facts as they become known and consult with advisors and experts to arrive at a plan that shows judgment and intelligence.
Take the time to go to each Candidate's websites and study their plans on almost any topic and notice the detail and explanations in Obama's and the "brainstormed list" in McCain's.
I will not vote for Bush and Cheney=Palin and McCain.
Interesting.
As of right now 53% of Nobama's total comes from just 2 states, Califonia and New York.
These 2 extremely LIBERAL, SOCIALIST, ELITIST states are controlling everything.
The winds of "change" would appear to be blowing away Obama's smoke and revealing there's no fire, just an old style Chicago politician throwing mud at his opponent while promising a new, higher ethics, bipartisan style of politics.
Same campaign Rod Blagojevich ran to become Governor of Illiniois. Check out the Chicago Tribune or Sun Times to see what the truth of his claims was and extrapolate that to an Obama administration.
Hmm, lets see, vote for the guy that LIES constantly and has to have a factcheck.org disclaimer attached to every thing he or his lapdog VP pick say, Has the very people at fault for the economic crisis as his economic advisors, along with the gal that destroyed Lucent and nearly destroyed HP. Has the WORST record for not voting at all, let alone “present”, has the VP pick under investigation for abuse of power, voted 90% of the time with his party, who have nearly destroyed the united states over the last 8 years, has said he will keep us in iraq for 100 years at 10 billion dollars a day, who is 72 years old and could very well die his first day in office when he has to face what he has caused???
Or vote for the black man who has sound answers, doesn’t lie, has everything he says backed up by factcheck.org, has had the past 5 secreataries of state back his plans for the nation, has every economic advisor who knows anything back up his economic plans, is still married to his first wife, has values and integrity, believes in peace and thinking things through before he acts, will be here for the common man, rather then the oil companies, knows it’s the common man getting to work that moves the economy, has a battle tested and proven VP pick???
I’ll take the black man.
I’m a “liberal”, married, military employed, gun owning, pro-choice, pro-gay marriage,
white democrat from Indiana.
My informal poll shows much more support for Obama in these blogs. The smart people who read and examine the news are voting for Obama for good reason.
President of Harvard Law Review vs. almost last at Annapolis. I'll go with the smart guy!
GO OBAMA!!
So... these polls only talk to people who have land lines, right...? I think the Republicans are in for a big surprise come 11/04.
yes we can,,obama/biden... yes we can and we will come november,, obama/biden.08 and beyond
Average Joe, You are a Republican for Obama too... Man, it's nice to see that some of us are willing to call our party out on our ignorance. You know a real Republican would never vote for McCain or Palin.
IT'S NICE TO SEE YAH....REPUBLICANS FOR OBAMA
OVERALL I THINK THE POLLS IS LOOKING GOOD FOR MCCAIN/PALIN TICKET.
CNN–you have one of the polls wrong! Obama, not McCain, is up by 4 in Colorado according to the latest Quinnipiac poll in that state. Check out the Quinnipiac site: http://www.quinnipiac.edu/x4140.xml and check out realclear politics as well.
OOPS! CNN caught screwing up the poll data yet again.
Obama is ahead in Colorado. But CNN wants to give the impression their boy McCain is doing well in the polls so they "make a mistake" and have McCain ahead in Colorado. And they won't fix the mistake and will leave this 'error' posted.
CNN, you really ought to clean house and get rid of all those Republican operatives working there under false pretense.
The Quinnipiac poll said Obama, not McCain, led in Colorado by for points. Did anyone from CNN actually read the poll or the article in AFP?
YES WE CAN!!!!!!!!!!!!
Show Up To Vote America, We Need Aaaallllll Of This Change!!!!!!!!!!!!
OBAMA/BIDEN 08
I am pleased with the results, but I do wish they were higher. Shame on you, America. It is clear that Obama is the best choice for our country! Race should not matter!
Bad news for Obama here. He needs to be 5 pts in the polls to win the state come Nov. 4th. New poll out today states many Clinton supporters are still anti-Obama. Without Hillary voters Obama has no chance. Doesn't look good for the dems. McCain 08!
We are getting close to a new era in our politics. Everyone go register someone in these states.
I know someone in Colorado I am registering.
"Thanks but no-thanks to the McCain-Palin ticket"
In Minnesota, Obama is ahead by 8 points, according to Rasmussen. 52-44.
What's the discrepency? I know polling is a tricky business, but I'd be curious to see which way Minnesota is trending. Minnesota has been solidly Obama all summer by 5+ points, then suddenly in one week it's tied, according to a few select polls.
McCain = Change...the Great Depression x2
Obama = Positive Change, Growth, Maturation.....
Problem design with a lot of these polls is that they tend to over-represent urban areas and under-represent more rural areas. It' s not something that can be balanced out with a standard poll. This over-representation of urban areas (which generally lean democrat) gives a roughly +3% boost to Sen. Obama which doesn't really exist. Over-representation of Miami-Dade County in FL, Pittsburgh in PA and Akron or Toledo in OH could easily give these results.
Add that to the +/-4.5% margin of error with the small sample sizes that the pollsters have been using for "registered voters" (a sample size of 500), and you have a real problem in terms of getting anything useful out of this.
In order to properly cross-reference to determine if the balance has been made correctly, you actually have to look at the geography of the polls. Without that, most of this polling is worthless.
JUST IN!!!!!!!! PALIN WON'T LET REPORTERS TAG ALONE WITH HER AS SHE GETS "foreign policy" EXPERIENCE. LOL............... MCCAIN'S TICKET IS AWFUL
Factcheck:
I think CNN has made a mistake with regards to the new poll from Quinnipiac. Their poll has given the edge to Senator Obama in Colorado: 49 to 45 over Senator McCain. Their polls have Senator Obama leading Senator McCain in Michigan, Minnesota, and Wisconsin, although margin is small.
One thing you are right about: this election is going to be a wild ride.
No way McSame is leading in Colorado. The sentiment on the ground here is obama all the way. Double-check your polling.
I like the polls. CNN and others do a lot of work to keep us updated. Keep at it! I do believe Obama will win by a larger margin than is indicated. I think people want change, and I believe the American people are better than racism.. we've come too far to turn back to the archaic thinking of someone like Palin.
Scott L- you are compeletely delusional. The democrats have had a one vote (Lieberman) majority in the senate, and a majority in the house too small to override a veto. It is about time that the republicans are held accountable for the mess in this country. The problem with the financial markets today is due to lack of regulation, and that has been due to the republicans. The democrats are as we speak trying to include some oversight into this bailout program and are being stonewalled by this administration. Please pull your head out of whereever it is and open your eyes
Well, I can tell you it is not that close in Minnesota. Last night the local news said Obama was ahead of McCain in Minnesota by 8 points.
We Minnesotans are not stupid enough to vote for 4 more years of Bush policies.
Anybody hear how Palin’s ‘World Leadership by Osmosis’ session went today?
Change Puts Obama Up Slightly In Four Battlegrounds, Quinnipiac University/Wall Street Journal/Washingtonpost.Com Poll Finds - COLORADO: Obama 49 – McCain 45 <<<<<<<<<
MICHIGAN: Obama 48 – McCain 44
MINNESOTA: Obama 47 – McCain 45
WISCONSIN: Obama 49 – McCain 42
Polls are a nail biter- McCain losing slighly in polls Obama losing support from white women- GET A LIFE CNN.
I think it interesting how tight this race is at this point. I think it is sad that some people will not vote for Obama becuase he is African-American. If Obama were white he would be crushing McCain and it would be a landslide victory for him. The Republican Party is destroying this nation. We do not need another 4 more years of lies. Look at the economy it is a disaster and now it will cost us hundreds of billions to fix. It is for change not time for the same..
Obama/Biden 08!!!!
You supporters of Nobama should get used to the fact that your choice is not going to win in November. Its done deal. Please relax and enough yelling and screaming. The polls are not reliable. The same as blacks voted 90% for Nobama the same 90% of White people will vote for McCain.
The Quinnipiac Poll shows Obama up 4 points in Colorado, not McCain. Also an Insider Advantage/Poll Position poll released on Sept. 18th shows Obama up by 10 points in Colorado.
The 'mighty' CNN should not be making these mistakes. Very disappointing.
Canada – 67% Obama – 15% McCain
rest don't care – think the US is not even worth a response
Stop trying to call the presidential race CNN before anyone has voted!
These polls are meaningless. I have been involved in the presidential race since September 2007 and have not been polled once.
this contest is going to come down to turnout , the dem's have been registrating more people MCsame is going down.
I have new tricks to defeat Obama. Let's do it.
I find it extremely misleading CNN reports it's "Poll of Polls" to have no sampling error. This gives the impression that the numbers they report are thus exact.
What they are in fact doing is just averaging a group of other polls. An average is what it is, an average. All the polls have sampling errors - averaging them together does not eliminate those errors, it is merely an attempt to balance them.
Also highly objectionable - these short blurbs about the candidates accusations about each others positions...the "find out the facts after the jump" bits. Many people will not "jump", they'll just read the opening, reinforcing the falsehoods CNN is purportedly trying to disseminate. How about tell us the facts before the jump, so that you're not just reinforcing more of the same garbage.
Obama '08
To Scott L,
"things were just fine until 2006 when Dems took over! Think about that…"
Just how stupid are you?
Bush has been the worst president in the history of the country. His midguided delusions have ruined this country.
War, Katrina, Financial Meltdown, Gutting of constitutional rights, Inflation, wage deflation, job loss. ...........
Anytime it is dead even McCain really has a 5 point lead due to his race.
Sorry to say it and I wish it wasn't so but that is the truth
NO WAY BO! The truth about BO and his cronies wil be come out. BO is going down down down in to his dark hole of deceit along with the biase MEDIA.
Democrat voting striaght REPUBLICAN!
Whoopie fraking doooo.
Our economy is falling a part and their are people voting for the repuks.....what in the world is going on here??? Something is not right ya'll.
I hope I do not have to use a Diebold machine this year! They already have the fix in.......to hell with Diebold!!!!!!!
It's going to boil down to who get out the vote on November 4.
The young folks should ensure they honor that day.
I hope they are listening!
Obama/Biden 08
Polls are useless in this day and age when they don't include cell phone... I don't know anyone under the age of 30 with a land line. These polls are asking people who a. have land lines and b. are willing to answer some pollers questions... this points to an older crowd. Obama's younger voting block is not even being tapped for polling, which makes them hopelessly inaccurate. Come November people will find that Obama will win by a wider margin that is reflected in these polls.
After the debate, Obama will leave McCain in the dust!
How are these Polls done?
I see Obama is given more funds by Americans. Obama pulls more crowd.
McCain is given less money. He is still with Town Hall meetings.
Something is missing in these POLLS!
I'm sorry but this map is NOT correct. Other news sources has Obama up by 2 in Florida, up by 4 in Colorado and he's ahead in Virginia too. CNN please redo your map
The polls show that it's neck & neck in this year's election, so here we go again, another battle between the dumb electorate & the intelligent electorate of America. Will the smart pull it out this time and secure the first ever black president in American history, or will the dumb come out on top once again with their geezer and moose candidates? Only time can tell ladies and gentlemen, stay tuned for the hair raising conclusion this fall!
OBAMA-BIDEN 2008/2012!!!
When the real voters come out in November, MCCAIN will win by double digits.
Then people who aren't educated enough to know what facts are will reference back to polls like this as fact.
Obama doesn't stand a chance with the motivated true America voter.
McCain-Palin '08
Palin '12/'16
Jindal '20/'24
GOTTA LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!
Obama supporters are squirming!!!!
most of the people i know have NOTHING and therefore NOTHING TO LOSE!
BUT EVERY ONE OF US WILL VOTE THIS NOVEMBER!
JUST WATCH!
Too many independents and discouraged Democrats will tilt the scales for McCain in November.
Democrats for McCain '08!!
RealityKing
Why hasn't McCain have a double digit lead? For him to have so much experience and white, how come he is not leading? Obama is doing quite good despite the polls of how race will hurt him. Second, the ap/yahoo poll on race has been discredited by the columbia university/usa today poll on race which is released today. that is why polls should be interpreted with caution.
September 23rd, 2008 11:40 am ET
Obama going dooooownnnn…
Americans tired of democrat owned congress ruining gas prices (how you can blame republicans is ridiculous) and democrats have had oversight of market committee for two years now and you are blaming republicans for the metldown?
look in the mirror people, your own party is destroying this country….things were just fine until 2006 when Dems took over! Think about that…
What the hell are you talking about? Bush has been in the White House since 2000. Take off the Klan hood for five seconds.
I know the media wants this to stay close so they will say anything, but the CO data has Obama up. Just report the news and leave the opinion out. This is not a ratings game. It is the future of the United States.
I realize I'm the minority here but GO MCCAIN/PALIN!
I just HOPE the idiots that voted Bush in TWICE and are voting for McSame/Caribou Barbie will not be the majority on election day. We have already suffered enough under Bush... Iraq war, gas prices, worthless dollar, food prices, mortgage meltdown, Wall Street Meltdown, $700 Billion taxpayer bailout!..."Socialize Losses and Privatize Profits"... the American people are screwed again! I just HOPE we do not have to endure another 4 years of suffering over the vote of absolute imbeciles!
CHANGE IS NO LONGER AN OPTION, IT IS NOW A NECESSITY!
OBAMA/BIDEN '08
Are you kidding me?! Are you honestly trying to say that Democrats have caused all of the current problems in the last 2 years? The overriding Republican philosophy of government for the last 30+ years has been smaller governemnt and less regulation. What has happened in the last 8 years? Enron, Worldcom, Arthur Anderson, skyrocketing oil/gas, the housing debacle, Fannie & Freddie, Lehman, and on and on and on. I'm sorry man, but it's the Republicans that are bringing this country down. If you really think the Democrats caused all of this in the last 2 years, you are a complete idiot.
These are interesting numbers, despite the race factor which would be reducing Obama numbers by a 6 points had he been a typical white man runing for president. The gap is not as wide as it would be expected because racism is still very American . Yet Obama being ahead with narrow margings may be underestimated due to young/new voters usually not polled. However, do not "missunderestimate" McCain and the white rural vote. I hope that people would drop their prejudices and fears and vote on the issues.
BTW, CNN needs to correct the title and content of this piece regarging Colorado.
Throughout this campaign Obama has been talking about
"THE URGENCY OF NOW"
It is now clear what he really meant.
He means You must all vote for him ( The Messiah ) NOW !!!
Anything else does not matter.
Well, there is an URGENT need for action NOW with the financial crisis.
To date NO Action PLAN from Obama.
All he is doing is pointing fingures and BLAMING everybody else.
No an IOTA of Leadership and Judgement.
In fact he is always caught COLD FOOTED in srisis situations.
Obama bin Biden.................... NO WAY !!!
Stop the madness. We don't need polls. Polls are only there to tell us how we SHOULD vote.
I have a suggestion: Dems, in the next election we can invalidate polls by simply saying we are voting Republican. When the polls show 99% for the republican candidates they will STOP doing this.
Remember when ALL exit polls said Gore took Florida????? Only one network didn't call it for him....."Who could it be???? Whooooo could it beee..... SATAN?"
Why do we need to know how trends are headed? Remember a week ago: Minnesota is NOW firmly in McCain's column. WHAT HAPPENED???????????????????????????????????????
Good to see less and less people are drinking Obama's koolaid empty sugar soaked rhetoric and realizing that unicorns do not exist and will not get one as Obama has promised them if they vote for him. DON'T DRINK THE KOOLAID!!!
NOBAMA!!
McCain/Palin 08!
Clinton/Obama 12!
The problem is EVERYONE. They're all in in up to their necks. The only way this gets fixed is if every incumbent is removed from office, and as many independents as possible are voted in. Read your history. Knowledge is power, empower yourselves.
Independants are people who knows Republican party has screwed them and so they dont want to vote McBush. However they can't talk themselves into voting a black person
The reason for not having a double digit lead is that people cannot go beyond skin color
THE AUDACITY OF HOPE
In the Bible, first we have hope and faith tailgates hope. If we do not have a hope, there is no room for faith. Faith stands on the platform of hope. Hope is not visible, but faith grows out of hope to be visible. Hope is the root where faith is the tree. If there is no root, there cannot be a tree. So also, if there is no hope, there cannot be faith. If someone says that he has faith, ask him what his hope is. If he stumbles for an answer, he does not have Bible faith. Faith is the proof for hope.
America is drowning and has an overall crisis at hand that is in desperatate need of a life preserver.
Does it really matter if an African American has the life preserver?
America is smart
But are they Bold enough to grab the life preserver and not drown.
If Obama is such the "Messiah", why is he not way ahead of McCain? The reason being is that alot of voters do not trust Obama and that's why he is not pulling way ahead of McCain. Obama, I feel does not have the experience to be president and I think he is going to bring America down to a level which would like living in a third world country. I feel that there is alot of hysteria over this man but there is no substance to him.
In the midst of the Wall Street crisis, Obama is saying he is going to wait to see what the administration comes up with. Tell me Obama supporters, where is the leadership here? Is he always going to wait to see what the other side is doing before he makes a decision. We might be all dead by the time he makes up his mind about anything. I don't call that leadership, I call that a follower. He does not know how to lead and you people want him to be elected president. I hope when the phone rings at 3:00 am he does not want to answer it because he has to wait to see if anyone else will answer the phone for him because he cannot make that decision himself. If you think this is leadership, then I suppose America should now be considered a third world country because we no longer have any decisive leaders in our administration.
Canadian watching .... CNN your polls always a little off ......and please don't support bail out ..... i would like to hear from more than goverment opinion ........how about news from experts ? USA you guys are digging a big hole by not letting the chips fall and let those who risk take the hit .
Scott L: Do you believe the earth is flat? Bushco runs the country. The g.o.p. spearheaded deregulation. Yet you spout drivel that somehow the democrats, who don't have a veto-proof majority are at fault.
CORRECT YOUR POLL FOR COLORADO–YOU HAVE TOO MANY FOLLOWERS TO MAKE THIS KIND OF MISTAKE!
****Palin bans reporters from meetings with leaders****
I wonder why....?
Obama/Biden
Better correct those Colorado numbers! This is almost as bad as when the Poll of Polls a couple days ago showed 2 points, but CNN in type as well as on the air kept saying that 47-44=2.
Nice to see things are continuing on the up and up for Obama. Hopefully he can help rescue us from the tail spin the Republicans have put this country in.
David
The only poll that matters is the one in November. Middle America, those of us who actually work for a living and pay taxes will reject
the Socialist/Marxist candidate.
NoBama in our whitehouse.
The democracts won Minnesota,Michigan and Wisconsin in both 2000 and 2004..if any one of those states ends up falling to republicans...The democracts are in real trouble in the election..
When you factor in Obama's registration drive for new voters and those younger new voters with only a cell phone then Obama is going to have a substantial lead in all these states – doesn't look too good for McCain does it?
I wouldn't be holding my breath for earth-shattering numbers of college students and first time voters flocking to the polls. There is a reason why they poll "likely" voters. If it happens, that is wonderful – the more people who vote, the better it is for a democracy.
The fact that Obama doesn't have a comfortable double-digit lead at this point is still a point of concern. Democrat nominees almost always have a huge lead heading into the final month of the election.
The polls are all well and good and they do look really good for Senator Obama.......but the young voters are never counted in on those......cell phones etc etc.
These young people who have more sense than a lot of their Republican parents can see what is truly important in this years election.
They aren't stuck on race, must vote Republican at all costs.....no, they are smart young people who will finally turn this country around.
These young voters can be really proud of themselves and can really say " COUNTRY FIRST", not just as slogan but what COUNTRY FIRST really means.
What has McCain done for Veterans in 26 years in office?
Why has McCain sided with Bush 90% of the time!
Why wont Sarah Palin talk to the media?
Why has Palin refused to allow press around her 1 day crash course on foreign policy?
Why do PUMA's think Hillary will win in 2012 without the 40% fo the party vote? Hate to break it to ya PUMA's but the Black vote will go away for Hillary and McCain or Palin will win the 2012 election......and you ask yourselves why.....the African Americans will not vote Clinton after being screwed over...food for thought.
Why are current Militray members 3-1 for Obama over McCain?
Why are 50% of Americans so stupid to be hit over the head a thrid time?
Veterans for Obama
The polls do not poll college students who use cell phones. They will vote for Sen. Obama in large numbers instead of the ole geezer.
its okay it will grow more and more for Obama. Our economy is dead and mccain voted with bush think think think they took us to war which was false information to Americans lies lies lies lies that all they do.
Polls mean nothing, the winner will be decided on election day.
We must look like a idiots to World leaders who are meeting with Palin. Her smug, "know everything" attitude is not welcoming. She touts that she is confident to be the President of the United States. She is delusional and taken aback with herself. Confidence knows when you are over your head. Arrogance is when you think you are God.
Lord help us and guide us if Obama is in office. We will be in alot of trouble. I was a democrat but now an independent. Only because of how I feel and agree with my future and my childrens future. And to be honest...............I am not completely happy with both parties. Dems for being completely immature and the repubs for not fighting back with the immaturity that is going around. I agree with the Clintons.
this needs to stop!!!
Funny, the Denver Post reported today that Obama is up in Colorado over McCain by 4 points.
We need a poll of new voters!!!!!!!!!! Anyone?????????????
SCOTT L"- The dem's didn't take over! If we would have, we wouldn't be in this mess of a country that your loving Republican President has us in! Get it right and tell the truth. EVERYONE...GET YOUR DAILY KNOWLEDGE FROM FACTCHECK.ORG. Know the facts before you opionate!
OBAMA/BIDEN WILL WIN THIS ELECTION BY A LANDSLIDE!
I just became a US citizen and wanted to vote but I am not sure any more. This election opened my eyes to American politics and I am really worried about the message the republicans are sending. The ideal that one has to vote for someone just like them is mind boggling; this is what has left countries in Africa in dictatorship. When average Joes get into power it is destruction and trust me being there, done that. People should vote for leaders who are qualified and I mean smart people. I am no fun of Obama either because he is not laying out realistic solutions that can be achieved in four years. I have voted for a black and white candidates so race is not an issue, either can be corrupt.
CNN POST THIS
This artificial crisis in the markets is a joke, a play by the Democrats and Obama's friend Paulson to swing the election.How much of Paulson's 500 million is invested in Wall Street? What about Schumers money, and Dodd's money, and Pelosi's? Now it's a crisis because they might lose something, they ignored these problems for 2 years as the American people begged them for help.This is nothing more than a"let them eat cake" solution. No bail out, nothing they say tells me a bail out will help our economy any more thatn letting the free market work it out will.Paulson's excuse that it is just too complicated for him to give any details is ridiculous.
McCain with his 13 cars is calling people on Wall Street greedy. There is an old saying about a pot and a kettle.
MCCANIN/PALIN
NEVERMIND THAT SOCIALIST TAX CRAZY PIG MUSLIM!
I think this SETUP of the Republican Party for Palin to meet with Foriegn leaders is PROOF.. she has no foriegn experience. And one day meeting is not going to be enough to make her Qualified to be VP!
Its also not going to change Europeans choice of Obama for our President. I think Europe is right on the Money favoring Obama. THey have the most unbiased opinion there is.
McCain and Palin want to cry Liars to the Dems yet they are the ones that are lying everytime they open their mouths!
McCain = Bush
If you want more of the same vote McCain!
As a Coloradan I am confident that Obama will win the state of Colorado. Even in my neighborhood with is approximately 80% Republican the enthusiasm for McCain/Palin is low while general enthusiam for Obama/Biden high. Voter registration is high, the youth vote and cell phone only voters are not being properly accounted for. From all indications I think there is a large margin of error here and I believe Obama to be further ahead in the state of Colorado more than the polls would indicate. I don't think it is as close as people would think playing the numbers game.
I am a democrat, but did my research on both candidates. I am going to have to vote for McCain. Google is much more informative than our news media. Also, check out newspapers in other countries. For starters, try Googling these:
Google "Obama Ayers"
Google "Obama Bernadine"
Google "Obama Frank Davis"
Google "Obama Khalid al-Mansour"
Google "Obama Donald Warden"
Google "Obama Mohammed Hasan Chandoo"
Google "Obama Rezko"
Google "Obama Saul Alinski"
Google "Obama Wright"
Google "Obama Pfleger"
Google "Obama Khalidi"
Google "Obama Malcolm X"
Google "Obama Percy Sutton"
Google "Obama Alwaleed bin Talal"
Google "Obama Farrakhan"
Google "Obama Woods Fund"
Google "Obama socialist"
Google "Ayers bomb soldier dance"
"" Add in the enthusiasm for Barack Obama's historic candidacy ""
By historic, are you referring to the fact that this is the first time that the DNC has put forward a candidate that has absolutely NO experience?
Also, some of you "paid" dim-ocrat bloggers forget to mention that newly registered young voters are the LEAST likely to actually go vote on election day.
I agree with "Florida will not be red".........Obama WILL WIN as long as his votes are actually all counted.
Wisconsin will in no way shape or form turn red this year, unless we are the state picked this time for the cheat.
Yeah Feingold!! Yeah Obama!! Yeah Biden!!
Hey buddy, I blame republicans because they have been the party in power for the last 8 years and 6 out of 8 of those years they ran the congress as well. Pretty simple isn't it. Blaming the Dems is like blaming the dentist because he had to pull one of your teeth because U didn't brush them for 6 years. It makes no sense!
Terry, I like my Kool Aid, its a far cry from the POISON McCain and company are serviving up
OBAMA/BIDEN 08!!
Senator Obama does not have all the answers, but I feel he is the best person for the job between these two candidates.There is no person in the world truly qualified to lead a nation. Not one country has been perfect. The unfortunate reality is he will not win because he is black. That is the long and short of it. I hope that all black Americans, white, Asian, and Latino, run to the polls to insure this does not happen. Because if not ,as diverse as this country becomes, when an Asian or Latino runs, we will have the same backlash.
The Republican party should be shown the door for all reasons. Lets hope we AMERICANS keep it open long enough to vote them out. Skin pigment should never enter into our minds when measuring a person for any reason..
I live in Colorado....I will change that 4 point lead McCain has here. Obama baby
CNN WRONG ON QUINNIPIAC POLL
It is Obama who is leading in Colorada and not McCain. Please correct that error at your website!
The following sentence at your website about the Quinnipiac poll is false:
"while a new Quinnipiac poll shows the Arizona senator with a 4-point lead in Colorado."
Scott L September 23rd, 2008 11:40 am ET
Obama going dooooownnnn…
Americans tired of democrat owned congress ruining gas prices (how you can blame republicans is ridiculous) and democrats have had oversight of market committee for two years now and you are blaming republicans for the metldown?
look in the mirror people, your own party is destroying this country….things were just fine until 2006 when Dems took over! Think about that…
______________________________________________________
you are a fool and misinformed person seeing that these problems have been brewing for over two years , it's okay continue to drink the green kool-aid and eat the yellow snow that the republican feed you
just checked the quinnipiac/wall street journal poll, and it's the senator from Illinois, not the senator from Arizona, whose up by four there. So the poll number is right on the ticker, but the copy isn't.
Obama/Biden are the ONLY hope this country has of survival!!!
The republicans will absolutely destroy what ever is left and move to Dubi!!
