Sen. Obama has an advantage over Sen. McCain in 4 of the 5 CNN's latest state polls of polls.
Sen. Obama has an advantage over Sen. McCain in 4 of the 5 CNN's latest state polls of polls.

(CNN) – It's down to the wire for Sens. Barack Obama and John McCain as
the two men enter their final weekend of campaigning. With just three days until Election Day, CNN's latest polls of polls shows Obama holding on to leads in a few key battlegrounds — and neck-and-neck with McCain in others.

Obama leads McCain by 12 points in CNN's latest New Hampshire poll of polls. Fifty-three percent of likely voters in New Hampshire support Obama and 41 percent back McCain. Six percent are unsure about their choice for president. In CNN's October 31 New Hampshire poll of polls, Obama led McCain by 15 points - 54 percent compared to 39 percent.

Obama is also ahead in Wisconsin, where CNN's latest poll of polls in the state gives him an 11 point lead: Fifty-three percent of voters in Wisconsin support the Illinois senator and 42 percent support the Arizona senator. Five percent of voters in the state are unsure about their choice for president. In CNN's October 30 Wisconsin poll of polls, Obama was ahead by 12 points - 53 percent to 41 percent.

In Colorado, Obama is ahead by 7 points in CNN's latest poll of polls. Fifty-two percent of likely voters in the state support Obama and 45 percent support McCain. Three percent of voters in the state are undecided. In CNN's October 31 Colorado poll of polls, Obama and McCain were also separated by 7 percentage points - 51 percent for Obama and 44 percent for McCain.

Obama holds the slimmest of advantages in Montana in CNN's first poll of polls for the state: Forty-six percent of likely voters in the state back Obama, and 45 percent support McCain. Nine percent of Montana's likely voters are unsure about their choice for president.

The two presidential rivals are tied in CNN's latest Missouri poll of polls. Each man garners support from 48 percent of the state's likely voters. Four percent are unsure about their choice for president. The two men were also tied at 47 percent each in CNN's October 31 Missouri poll of polls.

CNN's latest New Hampshire poll of polls consists of the following three surveys: Research 2000 (October 28-30), ARG (October 28-30), and WMUR/UNH (October 28-30).

CNN's latest Wisconsin poll of polls consists of the following three surveys: University of Wisconsin (October 21-28), Research 2000 (October 27-28), and Big Ten Battleground (October 19-22).

CNN's latest Colorado poll of polls consists of the following three surveys: ARG (October 28-30), Marist (October 27-28), and CNN/Time/ORC (October 23-28).

CNN's first Montana poll of polls consists of the following three surveys: American Research Group (October 28-30), NBC/Mason-Dixon (October 23-25), and Montana State University (October 16-20).

CNN's latest Missouri poll of polls consists of the following three surveys: ARG (October 28-30), CNN/Time/ORC (October 23-28), and Reuters/Zogby (October 23-26).

CNN's state polls of polls do not have sampling errors.

Just 2 B Me   November 2nd, 2008 2:53 am ET

What i want to know is why are ppl so afraid of a Black POTUS? and why is it being said that if we don't vote for McCain/Palin then we are selling America? To whom are we selling? I keep hearing that becuz Obama is Black (really mixed race) that he will be all for Black/African-American people. So does that mean that ALL of the previous White Presidents were only for White ppl? ALL ppl in America are or their ancestors were immigrants unless you are Native American. But just the IDEA of a prez that is not White scares ALOT of White ppl. Why be afraid? Becuz of the racism that is STILL alive and well in this wonderful country of ours?! Racism is a learned behavior, you are NOT born with it. Just goes to show how many ignorant ppl there still are in the US of A!

So what if his half-Aunt is an illegal alien. Cindy's father was a convicted felon and she committed a felony herself when she stole those drugs. McCain sang like a bird as a POW and killed a friend in 1964 drunk driving.

George Bush   November 1st, 2008 5:26 pm ET

I have ruined this country and would really appreciate it if the voters would let my good friend John McCain and that whining lady from Alaska to keep this dear country on the same track.

RF   November 1st, 2008 5:13 pm ET

Re: LR Goldsworthy's concern about abortion. While the abortion issue is not unimportant, to make it the litmus test for one's vote for the president is ludicrous. How about McCain's ardent promotion of the invasion of Iraq where thousands of Americans have lost their lives and tens of thousands of Iraqis have lost there? What . . . the unborn are more important than they are? Not to mention that McCain/Palin would readily resort to military action in future cases where someone did something that upset them to much. I mean, really . . . you don't talk to enemies; you kill them! How does THAT fit into any reading of Jesus' life and teachings?

Yea right!!   November 1st, 2008 4:58 pm ET

I have followed CNN this whole time and even before the campaign. But as I watch, it seems that CNN is becoming more right-winged. The time they spend on McCain supposed comeback is astonishing. Then there is this story about Obamas aunt. The timing is perfect. They are hoping that the Hispanic vote will turn more toward McCain. The divisive ways of the Republicans is being seriously frowned on by the American people & the world. Mr. Bergen is the best analysts on earth. He weighs everything on point, positive or negative, about both candidates. It's quite evident that Campbell Brown is leaning right. The partisan analysts are ok. They are doing their jobs. But those that are suppose to be non-partisan are not doing a good job.

OBAMA STEALS TAX MONEY FOR HIS AUNT AND PEOPLE SAY SO WHAT WILL ITS ARE TAX MONEY AND ITS ABOUT TIME YOU WAKE UP

Dave Peters   November 1st, 2008 4:54 pm ET

Voting is a right, but it is also a matter of conscience. So what, in this situation, should people of good faith do with their vote?

Until quite recently, there was the rough possibility that Senator McCain might be able to muster enough votes in enough Bush-states to prevent Obama becoming the president. For fiscal conservatives, for libertarians and all those who were scandalised by the policies of big spending, war and now government bailout and who saw both parties as equally culpable, a vote for McCain could be justified only on the basis that he was, in some way, less likely to continue these policies than Obama. There was some sense to holding one's nose as his campaign dragged US politics into the gutter, as he chose a manifestly ill-equipped populist as his VP and voting for 'the lesser evil' on the basis that he might block the Democrat Congress's worst proposals.

It is clear now that McCain cannot win. Even the most Republican-friendly polls show that in the states he has to hold to win, he is between 3 and 10 points behind in most of them with less than 3 days to go. If Obama holds all the Kerry states, pretty much any two will give him victory, and if he only wins Ohio, it's game over. That makes a vote for McCain purely symbolic, rather than pragmatic. This will be the last chance for two years for any Republican-leaning voter to declare what kind of policy direction they'd like the country to take. Unless one wholeheartedly grasps and endorses McCain's policies, including his 100 years of occupation, his purchase of toxic mortgages and bank equity and so forth, the question arises - why should you cast a vote for him. Is this the message you want to send to the leadership of the Republicans as they contemplate how to respond to what is likely to be the most crushing defeat in perhaps 40 years? Do you want Sarah Palin to be a contender in 2012? Most leading Republicans are privately appalled and some are publicly appalled as well.

Shouldn't Republicans who don't entirely endorse McCain's policies take this opportunity to vote for Bob Barr, or Ron Paul, or Mike Gravel or someone that really speaks truth to power. And if there isn't anyone whom they can in good conscience endorse, shouldn't simply they find something better to do between now and the time the polls close than vote?

After this election, we ought to derail that despicable Palin's 2012 plans by selling Alaska back to Russia!

opogo   November 1st, 2008 4:37 pm ET

I have watched every event on both sides. I have watched all the news on all the different channels and I have listened to all comments..pro and con. I believe that Senator McCain was trying to be a maverick when he picked Palin and he showed poor judgement. I hope and pray if he is elected he will not be so eager to push the button or take us deeper into war because of his maverick nature and quick temper. Palin is not qualified to be President of the United States and it has been clearly shown by her own words. She clearly lacks the education, the experience would come in time but she would need to return to school to have a better understanding of the world and history. Having voiced my opinion on Palin, my question is about McCain. I was always a fan of his and I am proud of him for his service for our country but has he always been such a liar? Even when the fact in question is proven to him to be false he still cites the fact in his stump speech over and over again. When asked face to face he refuses to say to a reporter what he has just said to his rally. Why????? Would he continue to lie to us when he is President?

Lucy   November 1st, 2008 4:32 pm ET

It just may be a landside election for Obama. If he can run the country like he ran his campaign and stayed above the fray, then I think our economy may as swing upwards if buyer's confidence will pull us away from a depression.

SO VOTE VOTE VOTE BARACK OBAMA
HE'S THE MAN WHO'S ON OUR SIDE
HE WILL GIVE US WHAT WE NEED
HE'LL ERADICATE THE GREED
AND RESTORE COUNTRY'S IMAGE FAR AND WIDE

Ken in NC   November 1st, 2008 4:30 pm ET

WOW The Republicans have pulled out all the stops and are throwing everything incliding the kitchen sink and the plumbing at Obama and nothing is sticking. Could it be that the American public is tired of all the mud and slandering?
No one is perfectand Obama is not perfect. Even McCain has made at least one ,istake in his life. People get over it. McCain is accepted by a portion of this nation with his short comings while people are wanting to hang Obama out to dry. Get over it.
Is he a US Citizen? YES. He was born to a US Citizen in a state in this country but even if he had been born in Russia to an American mother he would still be a citizen of the USA BY NATURE OF HER CITIZENSHIP.

HouseDiva   November 1st, 2008 4:29 pm ET

i'm from St. Louis Mo and all the rallies that McCain and Palin have thrown are ALWAYS in the racist parts of town.

Obama has his rallies in areas where people from all walks of life live.

i hope Missouri grows a brain and elect the man who will represent EVERYONE, and not just racist white people.

Last call for America.Im very republican,but what I have seen the last 8 years that Bush MacCain and there friendes as well lobbyist and special intress all they have done to stell the mony of the American public as well the world.they sent the Children for big lie war just to serve the weapon Industry so American paying trillions as results of this war.this Buch of jirks the brought America and American to bankruptcy.MacCain is first guilty he play clean but just working for special intress and lobbyist his wife make the mony.if I dont pay 5000 to the IRS I can be years in jail why non of this group go to court.
American vote for Obma ,and remmember the Clinton time even if your republican you have to teach them a lesson.

Glenn   November 1st, 2008 4:17 pm ET

For a man that talks about Strategy so much it would seem like McCain would come up with a better Strategy. Obama has clearly put some thought and preparation is to his speech. First thing the armed forces teach you is Strategic positioning which McCain does not seem to know how to use. It goes something like this. Strategic positioning research is conducted to determine whom the customers of your product/service are and what should be told about the product or service to get them to buy from you. Finding the right target and message to build your marketing plan can be crucial in the success of your product. McCain's campaign organizers were late at every turn.
bandwagon jumpers that's it that all. If you can't run a campaign
how can you run the white house

Not only does Obama hold an edge in Montana, but Ron Paul's name is on the ballot and will certainly clinch the state for Obama (see the MSUB poll that includes Ron Paul).

A Really Conservative Realist   November 1st, 2008 4:00 pm ET

HEADLINE, NOTICE, ATTENTION....LAZY AMERICANS VOTE OBAMA INTO THE WHITEHOUSE.

If any of you takes the time to read this you will either:
1. get mad and have no defense,
2. get mad and show ignorance by trying to respond.

First please know that I am first and foremost a conservative. I am sometimes a Republican. Second, John McCain is NOT a conservative and sometimes a Republican. I will vote for McCain because he is, in fact, the lesser of two evils (pardon the cliche).

Obama has three kinds of supporters: ideological liberals, fad voters and the lazy. He is none of the three.

Ideological liberals are folks who believe that goverment can more honestly and adequately provide for the needs of its people than the peolpe themselves. I enjoy debating these people. They are often intelligent and will always be present in the civic debate. Examples include the last three Democratic presidents. They will vote Obama because they are not represented on the ticket elsewhere.

Fad voters are most often young, immature, easily influenced and can be brilliant or stupid. Lots and lots of college students fall into this catagory. They are always present in every election. They voted Bush into office twice. They yield to savory politics. They will vote for Obama because he is inspiring and sophisticated. They love his rhetoric and ability to communicate his "ideas." The fad vote always goes to the better politician.

Lazy folks may be brilliant or stupid as well. They may be young or old. They could be middle school drop-outs or PHD's. And get this......they will vote this year. They normally do not, because, well, they're lazy. But Obama is brilliant, and though I disagree at nearly every level with his ideology, we should all see his brillaince. He has awakened the lazy of our country by promising them the one thing they "need." They need someone to do for them what they should do for themselves. In this case, the lure is something for nothing. What they hear Obama say is "A vote for me is money for nothing." They don't care about his opinion on Russia, oil, "Green Technology", or any other policy for that matter. They simply want what they don't deserve. They find no shame in taking money they don't deserve.

This is a tough time for someone as conservative as I am. Obama will win, I'm afraid. But take heart, bad ideas never create stability. In a few years, all Americans will have a chance to vote for chance once more. It is my hope, that BO's term as President will be a sort of awakening, if you will. And I hope that someone, whether Democratic or Republican, will emerge as a brilliant orator, as he is, with good ideas. Against the back-drop of what the next years will bring, good ideas will shine.

Jen, CA   November 1st, 2008 3:52 pm ET

THE DIFFERENCE!

John McCain, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama were walking down a Washington D.C. street when they came upon a homeless man.

John McCain gave the man his business card and told him to come to his office to get a job. He then took $20 out of his pocket and gave it to the man.

Hillary was very impressed, so when they came upon another homeless person, she decided to help. She walked over to him and gave him directions to the welfare office. She them reached into John McCain's pocket and got out $20. She kept $15 for her administrative fees and gave the homeless person $5.

When they came upon another homeless person, Barack told him to "have hope . . . change is coming . . ." and gave him nothing.

Four start General Colin Powell himself is the one of the only few
willing to tell the truth that she is a direct threat to our national security.
How is she going to protect us? McCain's judgment allowed him to
crash three planes, and get captured no disrespect. Now pick unqualified Palin. Voters had better think long and hard before they
become guilty of aiding and abetting McCain in helping the most
unqualified person in US history to take control of our forces, because of
ignorance.

Clinton's supporters, but they don't like Sen. Obama...their reason is caus of how Sen. Obama ran the campaign against Sen. Clinton, as if he did her dirty...that reason is bogus, we both know that, caus Sen. Clinton lost the primaries caus she thought she'd already won be4 it began...and here's why...Sen. Obama has incorporated most of Sen. Clinton's ideas into his health and economic plans...so why would these same ppl opt for Sen. McCain's "No Plan" for this nation?...i'll tell u this...i believe those ppl simply can't stand having an African-American as president, but they don't have the courage to say so...But that's fine, caus win or lose, we're all gonna have to live with the next president...i hope i was able to help u explore the "undecided" folks a little bit...God Bless the US Armed Forces and the United States of America...

No Hillary = No Obama   November 1st, 2008 3:24 pm ET

So say-it the media conglomerate CNN who hijacked Hillary Clinton's campaign beginning last February and has since fictionalized Obama more than he has fictionalized himself. Watch the state of Missouri – they have picked the President consistently and now CNN's poll shows a tie which means McCain is leading. That's the only state to watch on election night.

kojipham   November 1st, 2008 3:22 pm ET

Hi Racists, Hi Haters – His name is Barack Hussein Obama. Nobody chooses their name, and why does it matter so much to you? Your racism and xenophobia oozes out of your every words. Your candidate of choice (McCain and Palin) and their supporters have run the most fear-mongering, boogeyman laced election campaign in recent memory. Hitler and the Nazis used the same tactics against the Jews in Europe before WWII, demonizing the jews and trying to make them as sub-human as possible to the German public to make what was to come (Hitler's Final Solution) more palatable to the German people. Don't get me wrong, I am not calling the McCain campaign tactics Nazism, such a comparison is not warranted, 'am just suggesting that some of their tactics bear some slight similarity to the preparatory stages of the German people for future Nazi crimes. Last I checked this is a democratic society, you can voice your disapprove of the other candidates policies, but when a campaign starts to call another candidate and their supporters communists, socialist, un-American, non-citizen, etc. you are crossing a line of no-return

Jay   November 1st, 2008 3:21 pm ET

I would like to point out that in Europe(and the rest of the world even) there is NO country which favors McCain/Palin. The average in polls about the US presidency is 75-25 for Obama in Western Europe. (Why do you think the whole world favors Obama?)
I wish you all best of luck in deciding the future of America and the rest of the world, for that is what the US is still capable of: shaping the world. I hope you will vote with that in mind and try to make the world a better place.
Good luck!

SAD,SAD,SAD ABORTION The way the Republicans and holy then thou are ONLY acting as if Abortion is the only SIN and has caused the financial crisis, gas prices, helped oil and gas CEO get RICHER, banks make million off the American people who had the American dream, millions of home foreclosures, no healthcare for those who are pregnant, are not pregnant, never been pregnant and hope to pregnant, thousands of children in foster care and living on the streets, The bible SPEAKS of more the Abortion as a SIN, adultery (google McCain), lies, gossip and HATE are worst just as some of you think Abortion is. But NOT one of the economy serious ISSUES listed above HAD anything to do with ABORTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We need REAL issue's resolved!!!!!!!!!!!

Palin HOW many grandkids DO you have and WHERE is you MEDICAL RECORDS, YOU PROMISED LAST WEEK????

Bobby   November 1st, 2008 3:12 pm ET

I cannot believe the hatred from the McSane campaign. They have torn this country into pieces by there divisive politics. The Happy warrior aint to happy. And the polar bear hunter sarah is a complete joke she loves the hatred that is said in these Rallies she feeds on them for energy!!! I would like to say the process to become a President in this country has sucked. A person that has No Education on the basic principals of the constitution does not deserve to become president or Vice president of this great country of ours. The last president that did not understand the constitution became a complete joke.!!! We cant afford 4 more years.
By the way these folks at these rallies that are acting tough and talking down on Barack will never have the guts to get that brave in california. There hats will be handed to them.!!!!!!!!
Please to all the young voters get out there and vote dont get this lazy for the first time of in your lives. Please.

The end of our country would be if McCain wins. It also seems kind of funny that all the hate people can't even spell, especially bob from ss. He can't spell, can't form sentences or even get his facts straight. That's what Republicans do. That's why Obama is ahead in so many places.

CNN, stop focusing on BS stories about Obama's aunt being an illegal immigrant. I'm an Iraq vet, and to me all of McCain's (Palin's too) medical records seriously needs to be release to the public. There is no doubt in my mind now that, this man is suffering from Dementia and PTSD and should not be running for President! As far as Palin? This women is nuts! We cannot allow these two to get elected, they are both unstable and dangerous!

A scorpion and a frog meet on the bank of a stream and the scorpion asks the frog to carry him across on its back. The frog asks, "How do I know you won't sting me?" The scorpion says, "Because if I do, I will die too."

The frog is satisfied, and they set out, but in midstream, the scorpion stings the frog. The frog feels the onset of paralysis and starts to sink, knowing they both will drown, but has just enough time to gasp, "Why?"

Replies the scorpion: "Its my nature..."..............DO NOT VOTE FOR mccain

Hey LR Goldsworthy – here's a thought, why don't we keep religion out of politics and aim for separation of church and state like we once did? I think life would be a whole lot better. Here in California, the religious zealots are taking overly activist roles in political matters and it's getting out of hand. I find it deplorable that religious organizations and institutions are using hate and fear to mobilize people. A bit contrary to their message of love isn't it?

sandee in Portland   November 1st, 2008 2:54 pm ET

As a moderate republican I call on the people in my party to go back to the days of Reagan. It's a crying shame that my party has been taken over by the likes of people like Palin...far, right wing conservatives evangelicals who think if you're not like them, you're not american. It's also a shame that McCain sold himself to these radical christians. He should have had the backbone to stand up to them. I am so disappointed in him. I'm sorry to say I voted for Bush the first time, but I learned my lesson and when he ran for his second term I voted democratic. After this year, I will probably change to independent because my party has deserted the middle of the road republicans for extremists. I understand that there are extremists in both parties, but a candidate should run on the middle of the road.

I voted for Obama because I want separation of church and state to continue. Even though I am a Catholic, I do not entirely agree with my religion and abortion is one of the things I disagree with. Neither the Catholic Church nor my government should have the right to tell me what to do with my body, my children, or my family. They do not know what is best for me, only I do.

Independent white female patriotic voter   November 1st, 2008 2:51 pm ET

Obama will surprise many people on Tuesday the 4th when he becomes the 44th president of the USA. Mccain and Palin have been nasty, dirty, disgussting, liars, misleading, fear mongurs during this campaign season. Mccain lost a lot of independent voters as far as I am concerned because of Palin's negativity and his lies against Obama just to get votes. That doesn't work with most independent voters! lying about your opponent actually makes an independent voter turn to the other guy even more. Mccain is much too old, Palin is much too inexperienced and dumb and I don't trust putting my life, financial independence and my wellness in their hands. Thanks but no thanks!

weneedstrongleadership   November 1st, 2008 2:50 pm ET

The reason why they are undecided is because they were waiting to hear both sides on the economy and where each candidate stood then they would decide. I believe with all the things McCain has done and not talking about the economy the way Obama has, I believe they will more then likely side for Obama. If you were to watch the debates and watch what the focus groups answers were, a lot of people said that they were undecided because they wanted to know more about the economy and where each candidate stood. So that's my theory take it for what it's worth.

Lando   November 1st, 2008 2:39 pm ET

Common sense tells me that Obama if elected President will make the best effort to make America back to the number one spot in
the world as far as economy and world respect. American has been
in the helm of white Presidents eversince. This is a once in a lifetime
chance for a man of color to prove that he can be as good or maybe
better than many of those past leaders. He has the vision. When
he spoke of UNITY among all speaks of the character of what he truly
is. UNITED WE STAND DIVIDED WE FALL....

To LR Goldsbury:

As a Catholic, I have to remind you that the Catholic Church and its Bishops not too many years ago said that we would be dammed to HELL if we ate meat on a Friday!!! They were wrong then too.
So the next time you are enjoying your FRIDAY steak, spare a thought for all those poor souls writhing in hell for a sin that is no longer a sin.

I believe Barack Obama is a good man. A good husband, a good father, a good American, and will make a good President.

The Cathoilic church has made mistakes, I could be making a mistake, but I have faith that I am not.

dakini   November 1st, 2008 2:26 pm ET

A response to Goldworthy's comments:

NO ONE LIKES abortion. What about war and capital punishment? Killing in the name of the STATE?? NO?

First of all a woman should be able to make her own choice about what she does with her body based on her own beliefs and the conditions of her life. NO ONE WANTS TO HAVE AN ABORTION, but I NEVER hear opponents of abortion strongly support helping our society by spending our taxes on improving neo natal care, early childhood education, education in general, higher education, universal health care for all, minimum wage increases, etc.

These are the things that Barack Obama has clearly stated that he supports, and by so doing he believes the abortion rate in this country will NATURALLY decrease.

Until you put YOUR MONEY where your MOUTH is, then you should pray for your own soul and pray that you can develop some CHARITY to go along with your faith and fervent hope that Roe vs Wade will be overturned.

No one should be forced to provide abortions if their faith does not support it, but neither should a woman be forced to go through with a pregnancy if she feels in her heart of hearts that she cannot adequately support the child in a society as harsh as the one we are now living in. Abortion should remain a private and personal choice and is never an EASY one. Unlike the Palin children, not everyone in this society is in a position to bring a pregnancy to term.

I can only see hypocrisy in religious views that so thoroughly revile the right of a woman to choose while not totally condemning the death and killing that goes on in our names in the form of war and capital punishment.

Donn   November 1st, 2008 2:23 pm ET

Just listened to John McCai speaking in Virginia and it amazes me that he never has a positive thing to say. He generalizes so much it is hard to tell what he means. He doesn,t promise a brighter future or making things better. He can only speak about what Obama would do. Is this because he really does'tt have a plan?

Montana? That would be amazing! But, frankly, I just want to make sure that he gets Pennsylvania. I don't want McCain and his Rovian henchmen to have any chance to steal anything from the voters.

Goldsworthy–Right wing hysteria is no longer going to work.
As a Catholic, I have been disturbed to watch my church sell its soul to the Republican party, thinking that they have some corner on morality. Why? Because they promise to end abortion and prevent gay marriage?
What about war? What about poverty? What about environmental degradation? What about the death penalty? What about preventing genocide? What about supporting working families with children?

Obama clearly stated in the debate that abortion is not a decision to be taken lightly. It is not something that people celebrate. It is a hard personal decision for anyone to make.
Maybe if the Church went back to caring about the poor and the sick and the downtrodden, it may be able to find its own conscience again and work to fashion responsible ways to deal with unwanted pregnancies, or maybe even prevent them in the first place.

Judging from the barely coherent right wing responses here I think they see the handwriting on the wall – even if they don't understand all the big words.

Undecideds are mainly to the right of Obama and to the left of McCain. The governor promised ammendments to the constitution whick is sending the libertarians running everywhere, to Obama, to Barr, to anyplate but by the side of McCain-Palin.

Independents, what was once the strength of John McCain is now his weakness, all because he had to kneel to the throne of Rush and please the extreme right-wing nut jobs..

I say, JUST STAY HOME... and let Obama win!!!

If you want Obama/Biden to win, join me in working on Monday

needs to be done.

undecided: will I vote for Obama or against McCain?   November 1st, 2008 1:45 pm ET

Man, Tuesday can't come a day too soon! Already I've run out of clever things to say. Surely it's all been said before. Why even allow us to post comments anymore at this point? I'm gonna have to resort to that old stand by: Babba Booey Babba Booey! Howard Stern rules!!

My question which I hope somebody can answer is: how will the exit polling be affected by the fact that just in the state of florida, there has been overwhelming early votes for the democratic party candidate, will CNN take that into account during the regular exit polling on November 4th, or will it make it look like the repubs are wining?

suzanne, western NY   November 1st, 2008 1:39 pm ET

He is ahead in Montana???? Wow what does that say about our country. Perhaps people are beginning to see beyond the color of his skin and see his character as all should.

This is a man that wants to unify and fix a broken America.

He is more like each of us than most would like to admit. Look at the faces at his rallies all of us are there. This country is for all and Obama will treat all fairly.

tennisguypitt,

question   November 1st, 2008 1:31 pm ET

I've been hearing a lot of theories about how undecided voters are going to fall off the fence in the next few days. On theory suggests that these "undecideds" are really unhappy about voting for a black man, but don't want to say it, and are therefore saying they are undecided. Hence, on election day, they will all vote for McCain (or neither), Therefore recreating a sort of Bradley effect (although I believe those folks actually SAID they were going to vote for Bradley but then didnt'). I'm trying to decide if that makes any sense. I would think that those who don't want to vote for a black guy have already said they'll vote for McCain (or a third party), and can give any excuse they want. Maybe not. I'm curious to see what other folks think about this group of undecideds and how/why they might vote (or even IF they vote) on the 4th.

Al   November 1st, 2008 1:31 pm ET

The magic number is 270 on Tuesday. That magic number for Barack Obama is a new hope and inspiration for each and every one of us.

CMJ   November 1st, 2008 1:30 pm ET

I won't believe Obama has won until the results on election night – everyone has to get out, stand in lines, vote and then help others to get to the polling stations. Elections have been stolen by faulty machines before – and it will happen again. The only way to win, is to win every state besides Florida & Ohio. He must keep PA.

LR Goldsworthy   November 1st, 2008 1:30 pm ET

On Oct. 7, 2007, Sen. Barack Obama spoke to the Planned Parenthood Action Fund and promised, "The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act. That's the first thing I'll do."

What is the Freedom of Choice Act? It is the most sweeping pro-abortion legislation ever proposed in the United States.

In a letter dated Sept. 19 to members of Congress, Philadelphia's Justin Cardinal Rigali rightly warned:

"Despite its deceptive title, FOCA would deprive the American people in all 50 states of the freedom they now have to enact modest restraints and regulations on the abortion industry. FOCA would coerce all Americans into subsidizing and promoting abortion with their tax dollars. And FOCA would counteract any and all sincere efforts by government to reduce abortions in our country.

"The operative language of FOCA is twofold. First it creates a 'fundamental right' to abortion throughout the nine months of pregnancy, including a right to abort a fully developed child in the final weeks for undefined "health" reasons. No government body at any level would be able to "deny or interfere with" this newly created federal right. Second, it forbids government at all levels to "discriminate" against the exercise of this right "in the regulation or provision of benefits, facilities, services, or information." For the first time, abortion on demand would be a national entitlement that government must condone and promote in all public programs affecting pregnant women," said the cardinal.

It is clear the FOCA raises abortion to what it calls a "fundamental right." Yet it is not clear if Catholics realize the threat that Mr. Obama poses to the unborn, to believing Catholics in the medical profession, and to Catholic hospitals across the nation.

Michael Moses, legal analyst of the United States Council of Catholic Bishops called it a "radical measure" that will "go way beyond Roe [vs. Wade]." The language is so sweeping that it will wipe out any state's "conscience" clause, which is the law that allows hospitals, doctors and nurses to abstain from taking part in abortion for reasons of conscience. If abortion is a "fundamental right", according to FOCA, then every hospital must provide it.

The net result, as one writer noted, is "President Obama and his congressional supermajority would force every Christian hospital, doctor or nurse to abandon their faith or go out of business." Under FOCA, believing Christians could be banned from the hospital industry (and apostolate) by federal law.

John Vennari is editor of the monthly Catholic Family News.
CFN Addendum to Bulletin article

This aspect of Obama's candidacy has been eclipsed by endless talk about the economy. It is tragic that our own Catholic clergy have not effectively warned the people under their charge of this danger. This could be remedied if every priest in every diocese in the country would inform their congregations this Sunday of the grave threat to the lives of the unborn, and to the continuance of Catholic hospitals, that an Obama presidency poses.

When a nation decide to take the future in it hands, there are not such,
scary, divisive, racist, far right and religious tactics that scare a entire nation. The country decided and understood that the most unpatriotic people are those who sacrifice the entire interest of nation population for the interest of few rich people. Unpatriotic are those republicans who send the sons and daughters of poor americans family to fight a word that benefit only few rich big oil corporation, in the name of fighting for freedom. That is hypocritical and thats why this great nation is taken the future in its hands.

Vote for Barack Obama

Hussein is just a name is that suppose to scare people? when you are a baby you do not choose how you want to name yourself this is just good sense. In America you will find different name from Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Peter, George Bush, Sammuel Alito and etc. This is a multy culture country and people from different part of the are leaving here and they name their kids accordingly. That do not make the kids bad or a terrorist; in fact they are American like all of us. We have people from Iraq, Afghanistan, North Korea, Lybia, Venezuela leaving in the USA and the fact that they have roots from these country do not make them bad people.

Republicans! …take back your party…rid yourselves of the Demons hiding behind the Bible..return to loving your neighbor as yourself…go back and ponder the likes of Tom McCall from Oregon…Ronald Reagan…good and decent men., true Republicans in the best sense of the word…separate religion from politics…there is good in all manner of individuals…please become someone we can debate and find our way with…the world needs what we had before these nasty folks took over…find your hearts…and redeem your souls!

Nasty, Nasty campaign can you afford four more years of this mess. After this eight years term this republican president will still have his mension and guess what? that mension is pay off for. Some of you already lose your home and some of you will. Some of you already lost your job and some of you will while the people that cause this financial mess are getting richer. The president which is partly to blame for that mess is still getting his fat pay check every week and never think one day how his bills going to pay for because you are paying for them. These republicans claim that they are conservative and religious and the democrats are not while all of them are doing the same things. What is the difference by telling abortion is wrong when you doing it behind the close doors. These are selfish republicans behavior. According to statistics abortions, divorce, gay and lesbian have almost the same proportion among church people than non church people. You need common sense leadership. We do not need selfish leadership.Can you afford to have this selfish leaders in office again.
they had tried everything and I tell you it is nasty. These republicans believe that they have not done enough damage to this country and they are trying to scare you. What is that mean now? When they say that his aunt is here illegally. If you an American you an American and I think your background, your religion, and race should not be matter.
Now that socialism, terrorism do not work they want to bring these nonsense to scare you America. The economy is issue # 1 and they had choose not to talk about and try to scare you with these nonsense. This war need to come to an end because $10 billions dollars a month can do a whole lot here in the US from job creation to education and infrastructure improvement. Our current president is a republican and they had done enough to our economy and job market.

John McCain has not stratagy to win this election!!!

He calles names and insinuates some detastable things. He is not coordinated!!
ASome weeks ago, Obama was a "socialist"
Last week he was a "communist"
This week a "Terrorist"
This Joke with Joe The Plumber doesn't seem to be aimed at well meaning Americans. (Only John's people will seem to understand that blindly)
Mark My Word, as early as tuesday next week John McCain will call "President Elect Obama" on Phone and
congratulate him. You don't put your stakes so low if you are runing for president in this nation like John McCain has done. Risking the carieers of many well meaning Dem and Rep politicians that this nation needs.

"Obama holds the slimmest of advantages in Montana in CNN's first poll of polls for the state: Forty-six percent of likely voters in the state back Obama, and 45 percent support McCain. Nine percent of Montana's likely voters are unsure about their choice for president."

Yes, yes....YES!!! LOL!!!! Montana, here we come baby!! I'm telling you guys, he can win Montana! Ohhh man, maybe by Monday Tennesse will change...PLEASE! LOL!!!

I wanna say something quick guys. I was talking top one of the "experts" over here who does the odds and so forth. And he gave a really intriguing response to why my boy can compete in some traditionally red states. He literally told me that the most important decision probably in this election(believe it or not) was when my boy didn't accept public financing. He literally believes not only that may have help him but also benefit him. He did say that if the GOP has to protect their home turf and they tried everything(Ayers, radical friends, "real" America, etc) they should probably be up in their home turf, considering is their home. It was interesting because he did say thatif my boy wins, it won't be because he's a Dem or he's an agent of change or whatever but the fact that he labeled himself very, very well...

Don't worry guys, this is just "sports betting analysis." It'll be interesting to see what happens on Tuesday...

Look at how they have run their campaign its disgusting, All the supporters of Mccain are racist, or they make 200 thou a year, the campaign is A joke, they lie, lie, lie, I dont want a dishonorable president or a bunch of redneck liers representing my country..... since CNN decides to dish dirt on Obamas family, how bout Sarah Palins fast Daughter pregnant at 15.... or Mccain bimbo looking drug addicted wife Cindy !!! Report on real news, we have thousands of illegal immagrants in this country, Obamas aunt is not the first to want stay in our beautiful country, and she wont be the last ! Obamas relationship with his family is his business !!! Report on John MCCAIN AND his comments on 99.44 percent doing the right thing.... that sounds to me like a racial code, because it is the formula for Ivory Soap.... pure white.... messages to whitey huh ! why not 100 percent... Look into that !

Obama has run a tight knit, brilliant campaign with NO DRAMA unlike the frazzled Mccain campaign. The polls confirm his EXECUTIVE management of his enormous campaign. Unlike Mccain executive management that can't even keep the mouths shut of his close aides to the campaign. Mccain has to say the race is getting closer but in truth is the FACT that the DEMS are voting 2-1 in most states. So the Get Out the Vote machine of Obama is truly doing just that. Mccain will lose his Senate seat in 2 yrs to a DEM as well. Maybe he will buy some property in Florida. Obama/Biden 08 12

kentuckygirl   November 1st, 2008 12:50 pm ET

It's amazing that the Repubs keep trying to slander Obama's character when over and over when it is apparently NOT WORKING. Obama also mentions that McCain's campaign actually said that "if we (repubs) keep talking about the economy, we'll lose." So, it doesn't matter what the repubs talk about, they'll lose.

I voted for Bush in 2000 and 2004 only because I am a pro-lifer but now I realize that the repubs are nothing but a bunch of "hypocritis" that try to defend unborn babies but don't support programs to prevent unwanted pregnancies.

If that's the case how will they support millions and millions of unwanted children if RoeVs.Wade was overturned? The answer is: They wouldn't. They only say they are pro-life to get the Christian vote. They don't want to spend money to prevent babies but are really willing to let children be born in a society with no help and support which will increase government–more than any democrat can propose? Give me a break!

I agree with Obama that we take care of this problem from the root before we make decisions based on then end result. OBAMA/BIDEN '08

I hope people wake up and realize that Obama's tax plan is going to ONLY help people on WELFARE. When asked about what his priorities would be TAX CUTS was not even on the list. He will say anything to get elected. He said most of his priortities would take at least 1000 days. I am tired of working so hard and only people on WELFARE get the benifits.

I hope this get posted seems like every time I write anything negative about Obama it doesn't get posted.

Harry from york pa   November 1st, 2008 12:41 pm ET

The reason why the polls are looking like that is because its coming down to the wire, and more and more have paid attention to Barack Obama, and believe that he can steer us in a new direction. We just can't afford the same failed policies of bush/mccain. It's time to leave that stuff behind and start acting like God fearing people and help eachother and stop being greedy, and show the world we are are the most powerful and moral and ethically correct country in the world. I country where everyone has a chance, America!!!!

Betty, Virginia   November 1st, 2008 12:41 pm ET

Get out and VOTE for Obama. Let's make it a landslide for his grandmother Toot to see!!!!!!!! WooHoo!!!!!! GOBAMA!!!!

Hopefully November 4th will be the last time I ever have to watch McCain speak again. Calling someone names while they recognize your positive attributes makes you look petty. Where I once saw a man I would have loved to become president, I now see a bitter angry old man without the sense to pick a VP who would represent more than 30% of the people effectively; someone who can't handle the press unless it's fox news and yet he claims is ready to handle the world.

GOBAMA!! GOBAMA!!! GOBAMA!!!

Did Obama's aunt donate to the Obama campaign?

It is illegal!

Gail AL.   November 1st, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Who belives the polls, this is anybody's race. The media want you to think this is over, well it's far from over. John MCcain is neck and neck with Obama. The undecided Will vote MCcain. I don't think Obama should be measuring the drapes yet.

America is worth fighting for, and I'm going to fight for MCcain. The dems. will spend spend, spend. That would put us in a depression, and things would be a lot worse then they are now.

Obama will raise everyone's taxes the first 100 days, he is not for the poor, he is for the elite dems. DON'T BE HAD WITH HIS LIE.. WE NEED REFORM, STOP PORK BARREL, AND NAME THE ONES THAT ARE WASTING OUR MONEY We will only get to keep 41.7% of each dollar we earn if Obama is elected. he'll give your money to people that don't pay taxes, that is socialism, what is fair about Obama, NOTHING. DON'T BE DECIEVED VOTE, MCcain-Palin
Hillary supporter
FOR MCCAIN

Folly   November 1st, 2008 12:38 pm ET

Obama is going to win Landslide!!!! I am rally all my support for Obama on Tuesday. I took the day off to drive people to vote for Obama!!! Enough of McShame and Scary PALIN!!!!!!! GO OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Kingslough   November 1st, 2008 12:37 pm ET

Americans are fed up of rethugs lies lies and more lies. Its time we step up from this economic oppression and vote Obama!! Vote people Vote

Les   November 1st, 2008 12:37 pm ET

It's About time the American people see the light.Wake up American.McCain doe's give a coo,about you and your family.he only think of himself.Do you people think he cares about and others.Just think if he gets their,and see what taxes you are going to pay.

KJL   November 1st, 2008 12:36 pm ET

People may not think Obama is perfect, but a lot of them are terrified of McCain. He wants to fight everyone, like he needs some kind of revenge for Vietnam. And then there's Palin, who has an "onward Christian soldiers" view of the world. What a pair.

Darn Straight, Go Obama Go!

facts are facts   November 1st, 2008 12:33 pm ET

It's a blow out for Obama as polls on other sites have him at 350 electoral votes and likely to get many more as McCain sinks into the slime his campaign has manufactured.

JR IN NORTHERN CALIFORNIA   November 1st, 2008 12:31 pm ET

THIS IS WHY EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET OUT AND VOTE ON TUESDAY! GO OBAMA/BIDEN 2008

KLEE   November 1st, 2008 12:30 pm ET

Voters – if you need information go to each of the candidates web sites and read.

Look at how the campaigns are being run – what is being said and what isn't being said??? –

I have watched closely the REP candidates are weaving all over the road and picking up hitch-hikers.

The DEM candidates are speaking clearly and have a message that addresses our issues.

OBAMA/BIDEN 2008 and 2012(who knows?)

***NO longer lost in the fog!***   November 1st, 2008 12:30 pm ET

I feel sad for all the people on here that will have to find something else new to blog about come Wednesday morning. No McCain/Palin to get their false lies and deceptions from... Oh well, I guess they can just keep making things up. The BEST part is, they are not going to have so-called "leaders" to put the lies and deceit into their thoughts (of which there are no original ones of their own) to spew out their mouth.>>>>>>>Goodnight John boy, Go back to Alaska Barbie doll................................Lights out.......

cnn stop tryin to make this race seem   November 1st, 2008 12:29 pm ET

cnn stop tryin to make this race seems close!everyone can see it's gonna be a landslide.obama/biden 09

Joe the mechanic.   November 1st, 2008 12:29 pm ET

The lead is due to the simple fact that Obama has an articulable plan to turn our economy around. And McBush has Joe the fake plumber who will also benefit from an Obama Administration.

Rick From Washington   November 1st, 2008 12:29 pm ET

Americans, please do not believe in the polls. The most important thing you can do for this country is to vote for John McCain. I am a Democrat and Hillary supporter, who is voting for what is right for this country i.e. McCain/Palin

Barbara - 65 yr old white female in NC   November 1st, 2008 12:28 pm ET

Sounds good to me. I have, however, noticed that Obama hasn't made much headway in the less educated states like WV, KY, MS, OK, AL. What's with that?

I voted early for the two that will protect my Constitutional Rights to own guns and read my Bible. And they probably won't reinstitute the draft or go into IRAN without a very good reason.

Obama/Biden '08

Texas Teacher   November 1st, 2008 12:28 pm ET

And the race is still on! Get out to vote, People for Obama, take nothing for granted! We have to come out in such numbers that there can be NO MISTAKE about what WE want for this country!

I already voted.... took my mom and we voted together proudly about last weekend!

Just a thought,. why in the world do we have to have election day on a Tuesday when most people are working? It's like a conspiracy to keep people from voting. At least this year, we are aware that we CAN vote early.... everyone who wants to.... and we ARE!

I am so proud of everyone voting. No matter who we vote for.... we are exercising our rights as American Citizens in such numbers that it is world news!

JRS   November 1st, 2008 12:27 pm ET

OH well. Too bad. First we pick Bush; now we knee jerk and pick Obama. Trom right to left., when we could have middle. Obama thinks we have 57 states ....who's winning in those other 7.

Ghost   November 1st, 2008 12:25 pm ET

How can so many say they are undecided?

jks   November 1st, 2008 12:25 pm ET

Polls mean little unless you vote. Finish it off with your ballot.
GOBAMA

Marie,San Diego   November 1st, 2008 12:24 pm ET

This will not swayed voters to change their minds about Senator Obama. In fact, this might identify to some voters who probably have relatives that in the same dilemma. If republicans think this might give them edge because of this news, this could hurt them with Neutralized Citizens of this country and of course, the majority of this group are Hispanics Americans and to some degree, Asian Americans. Do they know some relatives that have similar situation? Heck, yes and they are all hoping that one day, these illegal immigrants will have a chance to stay in this country legally. To sum this up, this will not shake Obama's supporters and potential voters.

GO VOTE AND EXERCISE YOUR RIGHTS!

snowkap   November 1st, 2008 12:24 pm ET

As an Obama supporter in Montana, I'm thrilled to see him +1 in this state. Wasn't sure that would ever happen, but maybe there's hope for us yet.

senja   November 1st, 2008 12:23 pm ET

wake me up when this is over.

wakeupamerica   November 1st, 2008 12:22 pm ET

Vote people! Vote! Young people – honor your word and get out and vote. Just because polls show he's up, we have to have the electoral. As Obama said, no complacency. Becaue the media keeps saying democrats are early voters don't think I don't need to go early.

If you can early vote, go do it now. Take a snack, water, and a portable chair with you to early vote or on Tuesday. We need this CHANGE in our country. Yes we can. Yes we will.

Obama/Biden '08

FreeNLovIt   November 1st, 2008 12:22 pm ET

I hope Murtha loses in Virginia because then, that district is NOT GOING TO GET ANY EARMARK!! It's the year of the Democrat and to lose someone who puts food on your table, because you didnt vote for him is stupid!!!

Go ahead, Lose your MURTHA!!! You wont get any federal help by winning over a REPUBLICAN!!

Nervous in Texas   November 1st, 2008 12:21 pm ET

You idiotic right wingers that have drank from the koolaids of Limbau and Hannity that keep spitting out your vile comments trying to challenge Obama's citizenship, you are fools. You think this country should only be reserved for white christians. You keep thinking that way and keep spreading your hatred rhetoric. His citizenship has been discussed and has been proven. Yet you are never going to be satisfy until you the "answer" turns to the lies that you have been fed to believe to be true. You keep talking about how Obama has not addressed those "unanswered" questions. Wake up? The questions have all been "addressed", and discussed. But again, you didn't get the answers you were looking for so you keep focusing and fixating on it. The rest of the educated openminded people of this nation have moved beyond this. We don't care bc it does not matter to us, we are focused more on the issues that are pertinent and not some stupid points that aim to divide us as oppose to help us get out of the mess that the GOP has created. So I hope that your hate will continue to put food on your table and keep us from being harm by the rest of the world.
GET OUT AND VOTE OBAMA SUPPORTERS, WE CAN'T LET THEIR HATE RULE OUR COUNTRY. THIS COUNTRY IS NOT JUST FOR WHITE AMERICANS, ITS FOR ALL AMERICANS

M.K in CA.   November 1st, 2008 12:20 pm ET

Barack the vote!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

GO,GO,GO and keep up the good fight.

Dawn   November 1st, 2008 12:20 pm ET

terriffic....I do want Obama to win...
Sarah Palin scares the h-ll out of me. They call Obama a terrorist, she is a very right wing terrorist, API supporter...Abusing her power...She could actually be worst then Dick Chaney.
I have done research on all of the candidates and the McCain/Palin would place our Country in the mist of a Nuclear war with someone...I would rather have some peace and not fearing the end of the world.
I know we have the right to speak our minds, that is the beauty of our Constitution,Obama was a taught Constitutional Law, to answer anyone's question about re-writing this living law? No you cannot. You can add to it.
Sarah Palin is only out for herself and no one else. I could be critized by this, but if you do research on her as well as the rest, you would under stand what I am saying.... I will go with the leaser of two evils

Please post this CNN

Obama/Biden

Anyone who votes for Obama must be a Racist. A great man once said something like "Don't judge people by the color of their skin but rather the content of their characters." Well seems to me that Obama's got way to many characters in his closet that many people refuse to ignore, therefore it must be the color of his skin you are voting for.

Bob the Plumber   November 1st, 2008 12:19 pm ET

Remember when Ross Perot said "the Repbulican bill Nafta will make a sucking sound if signed? "It will be all of your jobs leaving the united states." Well what goes around, comes around, now the sucking sound is that of the GOP leaving their jobs. You betcha!

Chris F.   November 1st, 2008 12:19 pm ET

Come on Every body get out and vote. This can be a historica election with historic numbers. It is time for the chage we need to get this country back on track. Say no to fear and scare tactics. Vote Obama/Biden 08!!

Simmy   November 1st, 2008 12:17 pm ET

Anyone still undecided is ashamed to publicly admit that they are racist, and plan to vote for McCain. The only other reason ignorance and or stupidity.

Mccain/Palin's rallies are downright scary   November 1st, 2008 12:16 pm ET

Goes to show smear tactics and personal insults don't work with most of the american public anymore! Obama has been growing his lead for a while now even with the economy looking better because Mccain campaign has nothing but slimy mud slinging character attacks that are so right field it's disgusting, it's like preschool some of the charge's they make against him.
