McCain is campaigning to defend several Bush states.

(CNN) – New CNN state polls of polls released on the final full day of the 2008 campaign show Barack Obama holding on to battleground states won by John Kerry four years ago – and tied with or slightly ahead of John McCain in more than half a dozen others that voted for George Bush in 2004.

There’s some slight movement, but the polls of polls show the margin between the two men stands at just 1-3 percentage points in five crucial states. In four more, Obama holds an advantage of between 5 and 11 points.

Watch: The candidates make a final swing through the key battlegrounds

CNN’s new Florida poll of polls shows Obama leading McCain by 2 points, 48 to 46 percent. The last Florida poll of polls –- released November 2 –- showed Obama leading McCain by 4 points, 49 to 45 percent.

In the traditionally-Republican state of Indiana, the new poll of polls shows McCain leading Obama by 1 point, 47 to 46 percent. CNN’s last Indiana poll of polls –- released November 1 –- showed McCain and Obama tied at 47 percent each.

CNN’s new Missouri poll of polls shows McCain and Obama tied at 47 percent each. The last poll of polls –- released November 1 –- also showed McCain and Obama tied, at 48 percent each.

CNN’s new Nevada poll of polls shows Obama leading McCain by 5 points, 49 to 44 percent. The last Nevada poll of polls –- released November 2 –- showed Obama leading McCain by 6 points, 49 to 43 percent.

In New Hampshire – the state that boosted McCain’s 2000 presidential effort and helped him claim the nomination this cycle – the poll of polls shows Obama leading McCain by 11 points, 53 to 42 percent. CNN’s last New Hampshire poll of polls –- released November 2 –- also showed Obama leading McCain by 11 points, 53 to 42 percent.

CNN’s new North Carolina poll of polls shows Obama leading McCain by 1 point, 49 to 48 percent. The last North Carolina poll of polls –- released November 2 –- showed Obama leading McCain by 2 points.

Battleground Ohio – which helped seal Bush’s 2004 re-election bid – remains a tight race, with Obama leading McCain by 4 points, 49 to 45 percent, in the new CNN poll of polls. CNN’s last Ohio poll of polls –- released November 2 –- also showed Obama leading McCain by 4 points, 49 to 45 percent.

CNN’s new Pennsylvania poll of polls shows Obama leading McCain by 8 points, 51 to 43 percent, in a state the Republican’s campaign has said is key to victory. CNN’s last Pennsylvania Poll of Polls –- released November 2 –- showed Obama leading McCain by 7 points, 51 to 44 percent.

And CNN’s new Virginia poll of polls shows Obama leading McCain by 5 points, 50 to 45 percent. The last Virginia poll of polls –- released November 2 –- showed Obama leading McCain by 6 points, 51 to 45 percent.

The poll of polls is an average of recent surveys. It does not have a sampling error.

Party aside, watching these two has been night and day. McCain adds in Pennsylvania have been all fear, all attack, with no ideas. It looks just like the swift boat adds. Obama talks about fixing the system (it worked better when CEO's got paid 40 times what workers made, not 400) , McCain just blathers on about 'socialism, unaware that 90% of wage growth has been for the top 1% only. Im sure from where he is things look good. But the rest of us are tired of working harder so our CEO can buy another house. And so Obama has my vote.

NANCY FROM MONTANA   November 3rd, 2008 10:20 am ET

lets throw out the republicans before another terorist ATTACK on the the innocent citiziens of this great UNITED STATE OF AMERICA.

OBAMA FOR REAL 08………….

Chipster   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

To Vindicated: You must hang out with the wrong crowd. I can tell you that Sen. Obama has a Juris Doctorate and was President of the Harvard Review. He was Director of a multiple church community organizer effort to improve neighborhoods in Chicago. He served as an Illinois Senator for 2 terms and has been a member of the U.S. Senate since Jan 2005.

Most impressive to me is the fact that he taught constitutional law part time for 12 years at University of Chicago Law School. We desperately need someone who has actually read and understands the U.S. Constitution. It has been dismantled for the past 7 years!

You need to travel in better circles.

TM in Colorado   November 3rd, 2008 10:19 am ET

Polls mean nothing – Get out and vote.

JL   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

This is not news………………….AMERICA and the World, simply put are SICK of bold-faced LIERS. McSAME before the 2008 election was consider a moderate, but to appease the far-right GOP he wants to appear like them………….far-right. WRONG move McSAME, wrong move.

Beth   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

Looks very good for Obama. Turn out is very important so all Obama supporters have to get to the polls.

Annie, Atlanta   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

BK – could the "don't pay taxes" comment mean people who make so little they get it all back? My son made about $2,000 last year, part time, still in HS. His employer took payroll taxes from him all year, and when he filed his tax return, he got it all back, because he made so little. Same with retirees living on SS and pensions. Are these people included in the 40%. We're not just talking about "welfare queens" who don't work. You want to spread the bad stuff, forgetting about the rest. Typical.

McCain Supporter   November 3rd, 2008 10:18 am ET

McCain has the right experience to lead. He's a fighter for all Americans. He's sincere and put the US, where it used to be. Obama is a mere community organizer with a lot of skeletons in the closet. Obama cannot be trusted and is only looking out for certain Americans.

Joe   November 3rd, 2008 10:17 am ET

Wow…the Republican party has really lost its way. McCain and Palin presenting themselves as the "average guy", plain-spoken, down-home people (although they still talk about "redistribution of wealth", which is really just the 16th amendment…yeah that's right, go look it up!). But even more curious are the few people still supporting them…you sheep have really lost sight of what the conservative party means. I don't understand…America is a very complex and powerful nation, with tremendous challenges…wouldn't you want the smartest guy in the White House? Or would you go with the 72 year old idiot with no ideas (other than to attack Obama).

PRESIDENT OBAMA!!
YES WE CAN!!

and we WILL!

Albert Fleickenhower   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

McCain is gettin totally owned by Obama, face it. Even if the government did gain access to the mortgages, it would have to pay far more than they would ever be worth, housing specialists said Wednesday. That would effectively bail out banks and lenders with taxpayer money to a greater degree than Congress and the Bush administration are already doing through the $700 billion financial industry rescue enacted last week.

Worst election ever. Peace out.

Irene   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

I can't wait till tomorrow………gonna CHANGE my Country's path – FOR THE BETTER!

I've never been more inspired and "moved" when voting day arrived than in THIS ELECTION.

OBAMA / BIDEN 08

Chuck   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

forget being on defense, just tell Palin to stop talking to radio jocks who are impersonating president's. Yes Sarah, they are going to just call you without any official notification. How stupid can you get. IDIOT! Not funny anymore, just glad she will be gone after tomorrow.

carol kesling   November 3rd, 2008 10:16 am ET

i was delighted to see DICK CHENNY endorse mcsame, just the boost he didnt NEED !!!!!!!!!HOPEFULLY DICKY AND BUSHY WILL BE IN THE SAME CELL BLOCK WHEN THEY ARE INDITED FOR WAR CRIMES WITH KAEL ROVE !!!!! let freedom ring !!!!!!

Harry   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

Did you guys see the phone prank on Palin on youtube?

Now imagine it wasn't a canadian comedian on the line, but Vladimir Putin. And Palin had to persuade him not to sell nuclear weapons to Syria.

My God, this election is so over.

Rob   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

When I come to this site it is it has been an exercise of listening(reading actually) to the power of dogma and the reiteration of the same arguments that have been proven to be completely incorrect by those who support the McCain ticket. I for one am glad that the election ends soon as I can hardly tolerate the low brow rationalizations. Since this forum is on a web site I am curious why so many can not be bothered to concuct any validation of the points they present. What I regularly find is alot of inuendo and psudo causal relationships. Why no debate on the merits of what McCain brings to the table? Why a concerted effort to sway opinion by presentation of information that has been proven to either be completely false and at the least spurious? This is what the People are railing against this election. I want to see an Obama Presidancy for sure, but what I really will vote for this year is a repudation of the religious right in American politics. Having recently attended the proverbial Sunday dinner with the Inlaws last evening I am still amazed at the power of dogma. I endured a considerable amount of regurgitation of FOX news but as promised did not talk politics. There is no other way to marginalize the extreem right other than an overwhelming mandate manifested by a decisive Democratic victory across the board. But I ask those who we elect to brake the back of the religious right to PLEASE stay the course of moderate governance or risk reignition of the right. May they rest in peace.

Peter   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

As a soon to be former Republican, I'm soo… tried of McCain/ Palin's and the Republican Party's constant vile and fearmongering. Is Obama perfect.. No, however he has vision and wants to unite this country. I hope he can make a difference in this country for all of us. If we allow the Republican Party to continue as it has, this country will tear itself apart. We cannot allow this…

PA   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

GO OBAMA!!!!
It is truly a shame that McCain will leave this Campaign in disgrace due to his dispicable attacks, lies, half truths and a self serving, unqualified VP with a self serving agenda!

Jeffrey   November 3rd, 2008 10:15 am ET

Everyone get out there tomorrow and participate!!! Get to the polls early to cast your vote.

G. Robinson   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

Well he says he's not Bush so he has to defend the states that Bush won since he's not Bush – maybe that's why he can't win them. LOL !!!!!

BARACK YOUR VOTE!!!!!!

OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12

Ken   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

I guess at this point it wouldn't matter to people to find out that on Sept. 11 Obama was also supposed to hijack a plane and crash it into the White House even if he said it in his own words. Obama supporters and the press would just say what terrible attacks the McCain campaign have against Obama. In a way if he gets elected he is crashing into the White House.

Amber   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

Maybe the red states should succeed from the united states. We know Todd Palin would support this. Todd and Sarah Palin can be your rulers.

john doe   November 3rd, 2008 10:14 am ET

one more day of the madness… while I do not agree with everything Obama says…Mccain has run one of the most dishonorable campaigns i can remember… Obama is the "best" candidate for the job… I can not side myself with a duo that spreads hate and animosity at their campaign stops…

and I DO NOT TRUST PALIN

what a farce……

We want a country of equal opportunities not socialist. McCain will prove to be a better politician. He is proven and not risky. He is real not artificial.

Chris   November 3rd, 2008 10:12 am ET

I believe that McCain knows better, but why is he in denial?

rich   November 3rd, 2008 10:12 am ET

Well..duh! It's the economcy stupid. He has no choice other than to defend for the last 8 disasterous years of Bush presidency from beginning to end. And that's not a great positon to be in "my friends".

Barnhardt in NC   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

GET OUT AND VOTE. Take a day off, bring a jacket, rainsuit and chair. Do what you have to do to bring about change and reject the fear and smear politics of the GOP once and for all.

carol kesling   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

bye way they wont have JEB BUSH to throw that election down there in florida this time…. if mcsame wins he will be because someone fixed the polls, or there are alot of people who will not vote for a black man !!!!

Ari   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

Arizona is up for grabs and this is one Arizonan voting for Obama. Come on fellow Arizonan's. Lets beat McCain in his own state.

Tanja Gillam   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

Ok under 30 voters, it’s time for you to make a sacrifice for your country.

The sacrifice I’m speaking of is your TIME.

If the waiting time is 4 hours or 14 hours, it is a small price to pay for democracy.

Get out and VOTE!

Avg Joe   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

Interesting article in the NYT yesterday: the only other extended period of republican control of presidency and both houses was in the 20's. Dems have had control many more times without detrimental effect…

My senior parents are voting McCain   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

Here's a question – 'Where were you five and a half years ago? Around Christmas, 2002. You've had five or six birthdays in that time. My son has grown from a sixth grade child to a high school graduate. Five and a half years is a good chunk of time. About 2,000 days. 2,000 nights of sleep. 6,000 meals, give or take.'

John McCain spent that amount of time, from 1967 to 1973, in a North Vietnamese prisoner-of-war camp.

When offered early release, he refused it. He considered this offer to be a public relations stunt by his captors, and insisted that those held longer than he should be released first. Did you get that part? He was offered his freedom, and he turned it down. A regimen of beatings and torture began.

Do you possess such strength of character? Locked in a filthy cell in a foreign country, would you turn down your own freedom in favor of your fellow man? I submit that's a quality of character that is rarely found, and for me, this singular act defines John McCain.

08 Voter   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

McCain will end up on top, but at a lesser cost.

dennis   November 3rd, 2008 10:11 am ET

I voted for Obama. Proud of it. However, the undecided factor and margin of error could shut up all the pundits. GO VOTE. MAKE SURE YOUR NEIGHBORS, FRIENDS AND RELATIVES ALL VOTE.

Rick   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

No answers on the tough questions about Obamas ability to show good judgement. I would still like to get answers on his relationship with so many seedy people and his drug use which was paid for without money. What favors did he perform for these drug dealers in dark back alleys?

A_Tested_Leader   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

Only a few points more in the polls. That means a lot of people are not convinced who the "ideal" leader or Commander-in-Chief is, a nation deivided no matter what. Let 's wait and see a few years down the road, maybe it will be too late then, facing the international crisses, from North Korea, Russia, China, Iran, Syria and Israel. It is America's destiny, Joe Biden or Michelle Obama will be our future president. The White House is built just for her, Michelle Obama. God bless Amrica, in the tradition and family-values of our founding-fathers such as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln, as well as Ronald Reagan. Do not for get when a baby's life begins in its mother's womb.

To Vindicated – I and a lot of other people are so sick of the GOP because of their incompetence and lies that we would vote for a pig if the pig were the only other candidate. Now do you understand?

Bridgette-PA   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

The MCfailin' ticket will NOT WIN PENNSYLVANIA! I don't care if they moved here for the next 4 weeks! Divisive politics don't work here! We are too intelligent. They should have stayed in Florida or Ohio over the past 2 weeks instead of being here. OBAMA/BIDEN rallies are being held all over PA, everyday for the past few months. On to another subject, I see that there are still a few OBAMA/BIDEN haters on this blog. Guess what? WE DON'T NEED YOU! YOU ARE AS DIVISIVE AS YOUR CANDIDATES. THIS COUNTRY IS HEADED FOR "REAL CHANGE". IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT, LEAVE EARTH! YOU WILL NOT BE MISSED.

OBAMA/BIDEN -08!

Gail   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

Hey Republicans, tell me what McCain has ever won? He's lost all presidential bidd he's made over the years, he didn't win in Vietnam. What has he won? Seems to me he only knows how to lose.

Obama/Biden 'till 2024

gEnie   November 3rd, 2008 10:10 am ET

Lets get out and VOTE for Obama/Biden and 'Yes We Can' and it will happen if we all go out and cast our Vote for Senator Obama as our next President of United States of America.

Bitter in Texas   November 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

Well, my sparkling wine is in the fridge and the cork screw is handy. After I get back from voting tomorrow, I'll be glued to the TV watching the results as they come in. I'll either be doing the "happy dance" with my wine in hand by 10:PM or crying in my wine. Let's get out and vote and all ya'all young people need to get out and vote…stand in line if you have to, but make sure you vote…from a 65 year old white guy.

Ebika   November 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

With obama america will be safe from terror attack and america will regain her repect considering how he is love world wide.If americans vote mccain the world will see the same Bush policies of war,war, war.americans think twice and vote OBAMA as ur president.

Pete J   November 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

I'm not sure how the Republican Party understands how lacking in credibility it is. They harp on Obama's lack of experience. Yet in 2000 they had no trouble advancing George Bush(with his six years of service in public office) over a longtime U.S. Senator and sitting Vice President of eight years. Not to mention Palin!

This is about different views on running the government, period!

rules in rules   November 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

People bring folding chairs, water, and entertainment (game boy, ipod, magazine) when you go vote. Whatever you do, do not leave that line until you cast your vote!!!! I would rather stay in line for 4 hours than have the next 4 years be like they way the last one was.

Stevo   November 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

Let's make it happen for Obama. Please vote!!!!!!

whippingstick   November 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

some of you speak about mccain as if you know him. that in your heart you know he's a "good man." anybody who has shoveled as much as much hatred and divisive drivel as him in the last 6 months doesn't really qualify as a good man in my book. but i am willing to bet that you're book doesn't include anyone who's not white, religious or heterosexual.

he's clearly proven who he is which is an angry, out-of-touch old man who rather suppress than inspire. he's been on-board with bush for the last 8 years and i would like anyone to point out the major accomplishments that this administration has achieved other than nearly bankrupting our country and alienating us from friends and neighbors.

Jay (Voting for Obama)   November 3rd, 2008 10:09 am ET

Some states have tightened up considerably; Pennsylvania and Virginia. I do not care if McCain wins both Florida and Ohio. I think if Obama wins PA and VA, then he has the election in the bag. I am from NY and will be voting tomorrow.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

carol kesling   November 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

GO OBAMA&BIDENNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JOHN MCSAME HAS TRULLY SCRAPED THE BOTTOM OF THE BARREL with the rev. wright ad !!!!!!!! low,low,low,

Wow.   November 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

Ok, occasionally, when I take a break from work, I glance at the comments on ticker stories such as this one. Nearly everything I see from Senator Obama's supporters is smug, childish, meaningless ranting. Don't these people have anything intelligent to say? How about actually responding to charges that Senator Obama is dangerously inexpierienced? Instead they just call Senator McCain names like "McBush." Wow. Brilliant rhetoric. Maybe they can't respond becasue these critics are correct… he has no meaningful expierience. Now that dosen't prohibit him from being a great leader. But what else has he done to demonstrate in any way that he will be? He's a good orator. That's about it. For all of the nasty comments the left makes about "undereducated" Americans blindly supporting President Bush, Obama's supporters are doing the exact same thing.
Moreover, don't these so called "Obamabots" have jobs? I'm home sick today, what's thier excuse? Can't they find a more constructive way to support thier candidate than blogging?

BK   November 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

Obama has no experience, just a good speech, all talk, no substance. He threw the McCain reporters off his plane and replaced them with Ebony magazine people. Now thats called uniting? Its payback time. You think this is not about race. Its not for the white people, it is for Obama and his wife.

Paula   November 3rd, 2008 10:08 am ET

McCains 1st presidential mistake: Sarah Palin. (From an offended white woman). I would love to see a woman in the White House. BUT she must be qualified!!!!!!!!!

Anita of georgia   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

Go Obama, All the hard excellent work that you and your campaign and devoted volunteers has accomplish, might just finally pay off. And sowing the seeds of taking the high road, and staying focus on the issues at hand, I hope will yield the possibility of you being the President of the United States. Obama, I feel will he make and exceptional commander in chief, one that will bring all Americans together. Something our country need so very badly, Unity. He will be a President for all Americans, not just for some. Obama /Biden 08

Jen   November 3rd, 2008 10:07 am ET

Change, hope, hope, change…. just empty rhetoric. However, if Obama gets elected, I think this country will be okay. Weaker, but okay. I personally didn't vote for him to please other countries. I voted for McCain because he is what is best for the country. But seriously, people from other countries are looking at these posts and laughing at us. Look at the hate we are showing each other. This isn't friendly disagreements. What baffles me is people calling Republicans "rednecks", Does that mean that all Democrats are America-hating, tree hugging hippies? No it doesn't. And to call McCain a loser and dishonorable is just disgusting. That man endured more pain on one hour than most of you have in your entire lifetime.

Lisa   November 3rd, 2008 10:06 am ET

Dear CNN,

As a viewer, I am sadden to see your stead fast tactics of distributing your view on the American people regarding your support for Sen. John McCain. As a media giant, you fall into the same corrupt one-sided view as the race whine downs. It is so clear and disgustingly obvious that your network insist on the same scare tacts as the Republican party. McCain does not need to raise HONEST financial support as long as he has giant media support from you and FOX news. The coverage you choose to display is a main contributor to why the last two elections were stolen from the American people as your network hinted with the Uncounted American Elections and the fraud behind the electronic voting machines. I hope all voters particularly the Republicans and the Undecided voters admit and own up to their role in electing officials that insist on making the rich, richer and keeping the poor, poorer. This is not a time to focus on racial division as much as the issues affect all racial nationalities.

You get over it, We're All Immigrants,
Lisa, IL

Fran, SC   November 3rd, 2008 10:06 am ET

At the republican convention they mocked and made fun of Obama having been a community organizer. Well they are seeing first hand what advantage Obama had by having been a community organizer. How funny is it to McCain and Palin now to see what an organized ground game Obama has run and has run circles around them? I guess Obama gets the last laugh.

Chuck   November 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

If you had a d or a r next to your name I did not vote for you. I'm fed up with both parties. Obama, please just balance the budget and get out of Iraq. Too much to ask?.

Bubba   November 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

If the votes are fairly counted, he'll take Georgia. Is this stuff about coal companies the new William Ayers? Look, I'd vote a straight ticket of Peruvian Witch Doctors if it would get Bush out of the White House. I don't know what Obama might do, but it wouldn't likely be outright theft and money laundering using a specious war run by Halliburton. Bush and his boy McCain have turned this country over to big business and organized crime. A rhesus monkey would be a better president than GW Bush or McCain, and you might as well elect a moose as elect that dumb knob Palin.

Ryan   November 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

I read these comments on a daily basis and it amazes me how ignorant some of you people are. Obama is a great speaker, a great motivator, but spare me with all of this McCain bashing.

I doubt if the people typing these anti-McCain messages have ever sacrificed anything for this country. It shows how ignorant and biased you are. Grow up and show some respect. If it's fools like you that support Obama, I'll gladly vote for McCain.

nafa Sid   November 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

America has finally woken up. Old GOP cunning deceptions do not work anymore….Obama is the man and good luck to him for the final day……..

May GOD help us all,those that want good for sasiady.Listen those two has lots of guts to take this position,being that bush left us in crisis.it s all his fault that were in this position.its going to be hard for whose ever going to become prez.but I feel McCain would be a little more qualified.READ THE SIGNS:OBAMA/BIDEN=OSAMA/BIN-LADEN=ARMAGEDEN.LET US PRAY.

APS in Hawaii   November 3rd, 2008 10:05 am ET

You know, it is amazing how CNN is so slanted towards Obama. During the primaries, you were so pro Obama it was sickening. And now you cannot provide any coverage that can be trusted. You paint Obama's competitors in the worst light while overlooking the dirtiest smear campaign ever from his side. All I have to say if does get elected, it will be the saddest day because his socialist views will haunt the Democrats for years to come. Here we have an inexperienced person running for President and governments overseas are laughing at how arrogant he is and at our process. The news media has been absolutely disgraceful in their coverage of Obama. YOU never once asked Obama any hard questions and made him give a specific plan about anything. For example, why did the fainting at his speeches stop when it was pointed it out it was the same person every time? Did the news media report about it? No, but it is all over the internet. His tax cuts are now down to $125,000, did CNN report about it going down?

I know, I know, this message will go into moderator purgatory.

Mike in IL   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

Obama has been running ads in his home state… all of them are negative… The only ads McCain is running are positive

Stop the BS about McCain running a negative campaign…

Instead why don't all of you Obama supporters stop listening to the Media and get educated on your candidate… I know that he did very little for my state and even less in the US Senate… Now he thinks that he is ready to be President???

All of you are making a huge mistake if you elect someone that is one of the most liberal politicians I have seen in my life time!!!

Bikll,Ca   November 3rd, 2008 10:04 am ET

The correct way of stating that the poll of polls "has no sampling error" is to say that the poll of polls "has plenty of sampling error, but we haven't got a clue as to what it might be and we don't care because that's, you know, math and stuff and our readers don't understand that junk anyway."

The last day to campaign and all McCain can offer is what Obama will do to this country if Obama is elected…….how bad Obama will be for this country, how unready Obama is, nothing about what he can or will do for this country………he knows more about Obama's policies than his own……and Palin too, just keeps talking about how bad Obama is……With Chaney's indorsement, you can see the kind of Foriegn Policy we will have……..same as Bush Chaney………go to war and then ask questions later…………The pick of Palin was what killed his chance at the White House……..

Last day to a memorial day in American history. All the close states will vote for Obama. The pollsters have greatly under estimated the great numbers that vote (140-150 million) The final vote will give Obama 375-411 electoral votes and he will get 75 million votes aand win with a 10-15% margin.

Ayers, Wright, Rezjo, Khalidid, Aunt Obama

By themselves, they are not worth uttering. . . however, together they start to paint a picture that we all must acknowledge.

Questionable judgement, questionable ideology.

You can't just ignore this stuff. And, finally the lying.

Ayers is just a guy living on my street. We know that to be a lie now.

"Khalidi, another guy on my street". Why did Michelled attend his daughters birthday party a few months back?

"Rezko, a guy who sold me a house." For $400,000 less than market value,

Wright, just my advisor for 20 years, but I didn't know he believed thsoe things". So, he advices you spiritually, and with family matters, but I didn't know he hates whites and the usa???

Something stinks about all of this. I hope I am wrong, but, there are many people who have chose to pull the wool over their OWN eyes.

I think they don't want to believe thyat this guy is scamming us. Wait til we find out about the millions and millions Obama has received from pre paid credit cards.

I hope I am wrong, and he does what he says he is going to do. I myself, am becoming concerned.

Oh, ya, and the lie about his Aunt. "I didn't know her status". BS. She had been at you inaguaration, and she has been in contact with you. You are telling me she never said, "hey, can you help me out".

John in AZ   November 3rd, 2008 10:01 am ET

The so-called tightening is just right-leaning independents finally saying McCain is their guy…not Obama losing support. And, equally, it is happening in only a few States, but McCain doesn't need a few States, he needs to run the board.

This really does look like it is over…provided people put their VOTE where their mouths are and VOTE. So don't forget to VOTE!

LS, Austin, Texas   November 3rd, 2008 10:01 am ET

With all the advanced new technology our children will be up against in the future, we need a president who will enforce the education needs for our children, and Obama understands that.

With Obama this country (our children) will benefit from his knowledge and his 'know how', that will have positive results.

With McCain, well, McCain doesn't understand advanced technology. All McCain knows how to do is "win wars". This isn't what I want for my children and I don't think our children want this either.

I've voted Republican in every election, but not this one. Somehow my party is now just religious nuts and rednecks. It's a really sad day and I hope they pull it together in the future. But, as for now, I am voting Obama.

Let's just take a moment and analyze where obama is coming from and what he accomplished. He is a type of person represent all of us in every terms from RACIAL BACKGROUND, EXPERIANCEING THE REAL STRUGGLE WE ALL GOING THROUGH IN REAL LIFE TO ACHIEVING WHAT WE MOST DREAM THOROUGH HARD WORK AND DEDICATION. I am so sure not only we very few individuals even the media knows what really this guy is about. I think it's time to see some changes and let all proud to have someone like Obama leads us through his solid judgement and great leadership at least for four years. Let's give him a chance. GOD bless Obama and America.

labman57   November 3rd, 2008 9:59 am ET

McCain and Palin can't sell their platform because even they realize that they have no substantive policies to present which differ significantly from those of the Bush years.

So instead they rely on instilling fear and hatred of somebody who is "different", a philosophy that is consistent with the history of the extreme right of the GOP. They are all about morality, but care nothing about ethics.

The GOP is losing because the American public rapidly became turned off by the McCain campaign's continual character attacks on Obama. First he was labeled a "celebrity", then an "elitist", and now a "socialist", a "terrorist sympathizer" and "unpatriotic". McCain is also losing because, once the luster wore off, the public realized that Palin is woefully unqualified for the office of Vice President, and her selection spoke volumes about the executive judgement of McCain.

The McCain camp claims that their motivation behind attacking Obama has been to question his character, integrity, judgement, and leadership potential.

Well, if you examine the conduct of both candidates during the past month, there is no question about who has shown the character, integrity, judgement, and leadership potential necessary to restore our nation's standing in the world, resurrect our economic vitality, fix the broken health care system, and motivate industry to shift from fossil fuel to non-polluting, renewable energy technologies.

mccain told us in his own words, he knows nothing about the economy, thats ovious, look at the shape we are in, he voted over 90% of the time with bush cheney. we can't take four more years of this careless leader ship. more companies are going out of business, circuit city in Virginia is closing 155 of their stores, we need a leader that can stop this terrible economy. WE NEED BARAK OBAMA!
____________________________

Please tell me how raising corporate taxes, stopping free trade with protectionist ideals, and vastly increasing labor unions' sphere of influence by eliminating secret ballots will help keep U.S. companies from going out of business. Do you really think that Obama's plan to offer a $3,000 tax credit for creating a job here rather than overseas will do anything when our corporate tax rate is currently the second highest in the world, with Obama slated to make it the highest???

Tim,

once again, and till the final days, your ignorance shines through. Go read McCain's proposals about Clean Coal. His positions are exactly the same than Obama. Republicans attacked McCain by saying he would bankrupt the coal industry. And now, McCain is attacking Obama on that, from an interview that has been on the website for months. Is it all you can do? Guess the aunt story did not pick up as you had hoped for.

For all the conservatives out there who are still struglling with the idea of global warming, you have to understand this. Climate change is real and if it's not adressed correctly and fast, the cost will be horrific. It is a priority in terms of economy. But hey, what do republicans know about economy, they put the country in a financial disaster.

McCain's war stand the first nail; Palin VP pick the second nail; the economy the last nail in McCain's political coffin.

He wants to win this so bad, he will do whatever it takes. Sad.

Librarian for Obama/Biden   November 3rd, 2008 9:54 am ET

The U.S.A. is a great country that has been diminished and ill-served by the last eight years of Pres. Bush's divisive presidency. For those voters who are still planning to vote for Sen. McCain, who is sure to continue Bush's policies, I urge you to reconsider. Please compare the candidates' tax plans and health plans on their respective websites. And, think about the behavior of the candidates during their campaigns. Also, if you are voting for McCain because of his pro-life stance, consider that abortions have actually gone up during Pres. Bush's terms, (look it up on the Catholics for Obama site). Time to come together America – we need to be more practical and less ideological in our government. Voting for Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden is a good start to tackling our country's numerous problems.

the election officials have cheated thousands out of voting in 2000, and 2004, and this year is no different.

McCain just said that if he is President, he will not spend $700 billion bailing our Wall Street. Does he have short term memory loss? Didn't he just vote for that bill last month?

Trivia question: Who are the five biggest deficit spenders in the post WW II era? Answer (in order of their spending): George W. Bush, Ronald Regan, George HW Bush, Jimmy Carter, and Gerald Ford). The first three are responsible for over 80% of our entier national debt, most of that run up when they also had a Republican controlled Congress. Go figure!

And he just said "the Mac is back". Let's give him the opporutnity to say it when he returns to the Senate after this election.

EX REPUBLICAN IN TEXAS   November 3rd, 2008 9:51 am ET

grahame – it's always the Republicans who run a dirty campaign. Never a democrat. Don't you think it's about time you grow up and "call a spade a spade?" I have never, ever seen a democrat stoop so low and provoke such tactics as Barack Obama. But then again he is the problem in America today. Barack and his Acorn friends(verified and confirmed via America Thinkers) began the mortgage crisis. Obam voted in 1994 to give loans on mortgages for minorities that had no business getting them!

John McCain was great in 2000, but this year, he's been nothing but an angry old man who feels entitlement to the Presidency.

Palin was his first big mistake.

His second was to use the smear'n'fear tactic against Obama.

I don't think the DNC would allow Obama to run if they felt he would threaten OUR United States (yes, yours and mine).

I don't understand why McCain isn't further behind in the polls. What he and Sarah have unleashed is a horror. I live in suburban Atlanta and am afraid to put an Obama sign in my yard for fear of my family's safety.

The republican "base" that shows up at Sarah's rallies should just drop the pretense, and wear their white robes and hoods.

I am afraid for my country for the first time in my adult life. John McCain, win or lose, owes this country an apology for what he has knowingly unleashed. And I hope to God it can be contained again.

Finally, someone who actually has a rational and educated comment. You can't get through to a group of liberals who lack the ability to vote with clear intellectual substance and facts. The truly funny part is reading all the hate and ignorance spewed by the same Obama supporters that keep crying "McCain's campaign is filled with hate and smear tactics!" Denial of the facts is what most of the uneducated base their vote on in the Obama camp. If they actually did the research, some eyes would be opened. Sometimes the truth hurts…and it's easier to hide it than to confront it.

I don't know about you, but I'd rather not continue destroying the planet. Obama's comment has nothing to do with clean coal technology.

If McCain wanted to distance himself from the Bad policy of the Bush administration he should have run as an independant. He didn't therefore he represents the BUSH FAILURE. Knock them out people. No more War Hawks, Fat Red Pigs, invasions of family decisions.

Obama is artificial and risky. Obama has bought this election and has been spreading propaganda, since the beginning of the election.

Sharon   November 3rd, 2008 9:43 am ET

This Republican has had it with the McCain – Palin – Republican despicable hate and fear mongering attack campaign. I fell for it 2000 & 2004 – tactics won't work. Their lies are numerous.

Evryone go vote Nov 4th!!! This country needs a change.

Obama – Biden!!

grahame   November 3rd, 2008 9:42 am ET

Hey DemforMcCain That's VINDICATED. What's the matter don't you have spell check.

NaNaNaNa NaNaNaNa HEY HEY HEY GOODBYE   November 3rd, 2008 9:42 am ET

Do you notice that smell, it kind of smells like cooked goose … or maybe cooked moose, lol. Every ounce of respect I once had for McCain is gone, and I know most people feel that way about him now. I just hope Arizona goes for Obama, that would be the icing on the cake and show just how far he dropped in public opinion with his nasty, divisive campaign. He deserves what he gets, good riddance,,, and take that clueless woman with you!

Commonwealth of Virginia   November 3rd, 2008 9:42 am ET

Pack it up old Johnny boy. You've got to play defense in Arizona too.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Lorna, NY   November 3rd, 2008 9:42 am ET

Almost over. I cannot wait to send Palin and McCain back to their respective states. My son and I will be on the voting line at 6:00am!

ross berg- Buffalo, NY   November 3rd, 2008 9:42 am ET

For this lifelong Republican it will be the first time since I started voting in 1960 that I'll be voting for a Democrat.

The thought of having Sara Palin in the Oval office was just MUCH too scary for me. I was prepared to give her the benefit of the doubt until I viewed the Couric interview. At that point I joined Gen. Powell in saying pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeese!

Her selection was either a knowing "hail-Mary" or a terrific indictment of McCain's decision making ability. Either way it drove me away!!

Owanemi Iyalla   November 3rd, 2008 9:41 am ET

Yes We Can and Yes We Will.

Obama/Biden 08. Let's make it official.

Tony   November 3rd, 2008 9:41 am ET

One more day until we send McCain back to the Senate to whine and moan and to give Palin a one-way ticket back to moose country!

Vote people!

Vote for Obama / Biden!

Ed, Santa Fe, NM   November 3rd, 2008 9:41 am ET

McCain is Bush's stooge….. NUFF SAID

John. Austin, TX   November 3rd, 2008 9:41 am ET

I really hope when McCain loses, that he apologizes for bringing Sarah Palin into the national spotlight.

She is an insult to intelligent, bright, and cultured women. And she should never be allowed to hold a public office. I really hope he makes a statement admitting that Sarah was and continues to be the biggest mistake he's made.

mitch   November 3rd, 2008 9:41 am ET

tim: its about time. coal and oil are destructive.

Greg in MN   November 3rd, 2008 9:41 am ET

It's not over until every single Obama supporter gets to their poll and votes for Obama/Biden! No time to relax! The finish line is in our sights so don't stop now!

Vote Obama/Biden!
Vote Al Franken!
Vote El Tinklenburg!
Vote Ellision!
Vote YES Minnesota!

Chuck, Tennessee   November 3rd, 2008 9:40 am ET

To Elinn

You will vote for Obama just because you want to be part of history? Well, the greatness of our nation will be history if Obama is elected and has Congress in his pocket. We need a non-Democrat in the White House just to offset the Democratic Congress. Otherwise, they will spend us into oblivion.

When shall you stop this deception!   November 3rd, 2008 9:40 am ET

Today is the last day before the election and Sarah Palin has not yet had interview with Larry King Live, WHY? Not Qualified to be a VP? Fraud???

- Why are Sen. McCain and his team using Joe the Plumber (a Fraud) to insinuate issues about Obama's Presidency, is it because he is erractic, lacks idea, and trying to defraud voters?
- Why has Sen. McCain not allowed Sarah Palin as promised alone to do interview with LKL, if she is qualified to be a VP of USA?
- Why is Sarah Palin’s windfall tax distribution to Alaskans not wealth distribution and “socialism”?
- Why are those checks from Bush Administration last May not wealth distribution and “socialism”?
Sarah Palin is a Fraud and must bet stopped before she messes up USA and the world!

Mary   November 3rd, 2008 9:40 am ET

McCain and Palin don't sound like a president/vice president. You can hear it when they speak…they are angry, shrill, often yelling in their speeches. McCain is speaking in Tampa right now, and he's yelling at the crowd. They don't sound presidential at all. And my God, how can they keep saying the same thing over and over…I can't believe they still need a teleprompter. For crying out loud, even I have it memorized by now!!! Sounds like his crowds are getting much smaller too…I don't blame them…they must be sick of hearing the same old thing!

chris   November 3rd, 2008 9:40 am ET

McCain talks as if he has never even HEARD of the Republican administration of George W Bush.
Shame on you!!!

grahame   November 3rd, 2008 9:40 am ET

And another thing. If the Elisabeth Dole Ad is an example of just how filthy the Republicans are then you will not a prayer in 2012

Proactive voter (Germain SK)   November 3rd, 2008 9:40 am ET

McCain is fighting for more four years like the past 8 years but Obama is fighting for change.

We stand for real change

Obama&Biden

mitch   November 3rd, 2008 9:39 am ET

i will be so happy when republicans no longer have a party of hate.

alvino   November 3rd, 2008 9:39 am ET

Vindicated??I don't think so:

I do not believe that anyone who is voting for McCain /Palin have a clue about what they are doing. Other than being a POW, he has no more qualifications than Obama. Fox news cannot give a reason that McCain should be elected other than he is the republican candidate. Erratic, no economic expertise, and a desire to divide the country are McCain's strengths. His choice of a vp who is guilty of ethics violations and a socialist from her home state of Alaska show he is out of touch.

08 Voter   November 3rd, 2008 9:39 am ET

Undecided voters… Listen to your conscience and be sure of the decision you'll make. Do you want a leaner government? Do you want equal opportunity of earning a dignified living? Do you want job creation? Do you want energy independence? Do you a bipartisan government? Do you want Supreme Court judges with a conscience? Do you want a government on a budget? Vote for McCain tomorrow.

TRANSITIONAL PRESIDENT   November 3rd, 2008 9:39 am ET

Anyone will be a change from 8years of arrogance we have been forced to endure under the Bush regime. I am certain that whom ever is the Pres. on 11/5, it will be a change. What I am leary of is the candidate that promises so much and will deliver more arrogance. Obama, who knows who he is nothing he says is worth believing in because he depends on the unknown. McCain, is slightly better but either way they will be TRANSITIONAL, to a change in 4yrs mark my words.

2012 the year of the true agent of change. A woman we all can believe in. HILLARY

Mike C. from St. Louis   November 3rd, 2008 9:39 am ET

I've read a few comments where individuals are stating that the "obamabots" spewed a lot of hatred within these blogs. Well my question is wouldn't you be a little ticked off if for the past eight years and each election you were rightfully so against the bush administration and then put into the same bad prediciments that these idiots chose to place us in as a country? We were right in voting for the other guys and the Repub zealots stole each election and are determined to put another bad pick in the white house. We've done it the Repubs way the last 2 times and us as democrats are angered and refuse to let it happen again!!!

Barock the Vote tomorrow!!!!

Which One?   November 3rd, 2008 9:39 am ET

I'm with Colin Powell, William Buckley, Ronald Reagan's chief of staff, Scott McClellan, the Granddaughter of President Eisenhower, Warren Buffet, Paul Vocker, Al Gore, and many other independent minded republicans and democrats.

I'm voting for "That One!"

Doug R.   November 3rd, 2008 9:39 am ET

McCain is absolutely pathetic. He is out campaigning, talking to the Americam people, spewing out all sorts of lies and falsehods. McCain is incapable of speaking for more than 30 seconds about real issues. He has run a dirty dishonest smear campaign. Typical of the Republican party.
He and pitbull with lipstick deserve to be defeated big time.

MsAnnette, Little Rock, AR   November 3rd, 2008 9:38 am ET

God bless Obama
God bless America!!!!!!

Aaron from Ohio   November 3rd, 2008 9:38 am ET

Virginia is the state to watch on election night. If McCain takes Virginia, it could be a long night for Senator Obama. If Obama takes it, it will be a short night for Senator McCain. Virginia could signal a changing of the electoral map for several elections to come. If Senator Obama takes Virginia and Pennsylvania (where McCain is pinning his hopes) break out the bubbly…it's time to party.

Geez   November 3rd, 2008 9:38 am ET

Hey Vindicated…would you please tell me ONE THING that your candidate has said he would do to help the economy? He has had weeks to spell out his plan for our nation, but all he and his babbling VP pick have done is attack Obama. He has no plan. If he did…he would tell us. At least Obama has consulted with economists and received endorsements from several of them regarding his economic plan. Eight years ago, we elected a governor from Texas w/o economic or international experience. Look where it got us. Trillions of dollars in debt, we in a war that was illegal and immoral, and the economy is in the toilet. I don't want 4 more years of the same. I guess you can afford it???

Susan   November 3rd, 2008 9:38 am ET

Give it a break.

He is McCain………not Bush.

For Obama until recently, now for McCain/Palin

grahame   November 3rd, 2008 9:37 am ET

Regarding the nasty horrific dirty campaign the McCain and Republicans have run. If that's the kind of government you want then please move to another country. We do not need the 1950s style of McCarthy scare tactics that don't work anymore anyway. Then it was a Communist under every bed. now it's a Terrorist. We refuse to except a woman like Palin who refuses to call someone who bombs an abortion clinic a criminal i.e Terrorist.either.

I am really proud to call myself an Obamabot , and after this election is over I will bet we will never hear from you again. Thank God

Cheryl   November 3rd, 2008 9:37 am ET

McCain's record of "War Hero" is/was his only saving grace through and throughout this campaign. It started out wrong with his choice of Palin and that is why he has had to be so defensive and while he is doing that run a dishonorable campaign. By the way, WHERE ARE SARAH PALIN'S MEDICAL RECORDS???????????????

Spring Cleaning 08/09   November 3rd, 2008 9:37 am ET

Just one more day left to take out 8 years of festering trash. Everybody get your brooms out, this election is gonna be a sweep!!!

Don't forget to vote!!! Obama/Biden 08

johnrj08   November 3rd, 2008 9:37 am ET

Dear Vindicated… The only reason you haven't heard what Obama's qualifications are from those who support him is because you've had both hands clamped firmly over your ears. What's worse, you've been doing the same thing whenever McCain or Palin spew their raw sewage about Obama. At this point, no list of achievements, leadership qualities, or academic distinction is going to convince you or anybody like you. A waste of time. Your mind has been closed from day one, probably because you're terrified of the idea that a black man is going to be elected president tomorrow.

JL   November 3rd, 2008 9:36 am ET

Stand up, stand in line, and vote! It will be a sad day for America if we allow another stolen presidential election.

Brian   November 3rd, 2008 9:36 am ET

McCain's campaign has been flawed from the start.

He says he wants to fight this and that and the American people just don't want someone in the White House who is going to fight everyone, including the average person at the expense of the super rich.

Prezzy Ivo Junior   November 3rd, 2008 9:35 am ET

For the good of the country, it is time for McCain to appologize to the American people for running a very negative campain. By doing so, he will preserve his dignity and legacy in the senate.

DemforMcCain   November 3rd, 2008 9:35 am ET

McCain is a tested candidate who has proven over and over that Americans are his priorities. He hasn't had a need to be vandicated. Obama has been spreading a bunch of propaganda and made promises that he won't be able to keep. Obama has been making speeches that have been prepared in advance. Will he be able to make the correct decisions for the American people. I doubt that.

Debra in CA   November 3rd, 2008 9:35 am ET

Please get out and VOTE! I will truly be afraid for myself and my family if McCain wins the White House!

johnrj08   November 3rd, 2008 9:32 am ET

I would like someone to explain why these polls tighten the closer we get to the election. The campaigns have been going on for nearly 2 years. Are we supposed to actually believe that people are just now making a decision, the day before the election? Are voters really that dumb and uninformed. I don' t believe any of these polls. They are too easily manipulated by the media. And the idea that John McCain and Sarah Palin's despicable campaign tactics are actually working is the most difficult thing of all to believe.

Gidget goes back to Alaska   November 3rd, 2008 9:32 am ET

An Obama landslide victory is inevitable! Fox news website is now crumbling (cant post any comments anywhere LOL).The Republican party is going down in flames. The desparation and anger in these post are hilarious. Please re-join the majority of America, my GOP brothers and Sisters, after the Election tomorrow. We will unite and heal this nation as One People. One Nation! President Barack Hussein Obama!

Prezzy Ivo Junior   November 3rd, 2008 9:32 am ET

Obama wins tomorrow by a land slide. The McCain campain was doomed the day he chose Sara Palin as his running mate. His judgement proved to the American people that, he does not only embrase Bush's policies, but he will be a worse president than Bush should he get elected. The question now is, who put country first in the most important decision a president makes, sellecting a VP, prior to entering the White House? and who will, therefore, better serve this country, Obama or McCain?

obama 08-12   November 3rd, 2008 9:32 am ET

bye bye mccain, bye bye palin,we won't miss your faces.

Chuck   November 3rd, 2008 9:31 am ET

I bet he is just kicking himself with his decision for VP pick. This could have been a real race. Instead Palin has sunk the GOP, and it will be along time until it surfaces again. From a man who I admired for years, to this sad desparate figure of a used up politician. The GOP did this to McCain and he let them do it. Lost all respect I ever had for him.

BM   November 3rd, 2008 9:31 am ET

McCain/Palin rallies are not diversed, so this tells the world what kind of leaders these two bimbos will be.

roy -IL   November 3rd, 2008 9:31 am ET

Tomorrow will judge whether the American people respond to the politics of hate and division or the politics of hope and unity. VOTE OBAMA.

cesar   November 3rd, 2008 9:30 am ET

The problem with a lot of people in this country is they fear change. Most cannot make up their own minds. I hear the mccain ticket talk about opportunity but there has not been a lot of opportinity in the last 6yrs. I hope a majority of americans can see the it is time for change.

Time for some progressive politics. Let the pendulum swing.

Ken in NC   November 3rd, 2008 9:28 am ET

While I still feel that McCain is an honorable man that has been led astray by his campaign handlers, I will be glad when this election is over because I am tired of hearing his VP mate spewing so much vile and hate from her mouth. I'll be so glad to see her go back to Alaska where she can RULE as she pleases.

FLORIDA for Obama   November 3rd, 2008 9:28 am ET

STILL haven't heard A PLAN from these people.

ALL they have to say is "Obama this and Obama that"

STILL NO LAID OUT PLAN FROM THE REPUBLICAN NEO NATZI US of KKK McShame and FAILIN' PALIN.

Tim E   November 3rd, 2008 9:28 am ET

Does a poll of polls mean you are counting the same people voting over and over again? I hope not. That would be misleading. And Joe Biden better remember that when he says McCain can have the endorsement of Dick Cheney, because Joe and Barack want Buffet and Powell, that that's only 3 votes and I have more than that in my family! He'd better be looking for our endorsements.

BK   November 3rd, 2008 9:27 am ET

A lot of us in Florida are registered Democrats and are voting for McCain. Obama will not win here. The people from Ohio, Pa. and Va. coal country, Obama will bankrupt the coal industry. They will not have to worry about a tax cut they will be taking the welfare check like the other 40% that don't pay taxes if they vote for Obama.

Steve in Louisville   November 3rd, 2008 9:27 am ET

j   November 3rd, 2008 9:27 am ET

Can the United States hold a national election where all voters participate? It doesn't look that way. The long lines are unacceptable and it looks like voter suppression is alive and well in the 21st century. Voting in this country is 3rd world and it's a shame that a country that's supposed to have such high ideals can't do better. Every indication suggest that Obama should win this election. I hope Obama supporters are willing to put up with this 3rd rate voting system to get their votes cast. America needs new leadership. Vote for OBAMA/BIDEN!

Dawn   November 3rd, 2008 9:27 am ET

This man is getting very desperate.. Gov Rendell said that he is going to charge them PA State tax…LOL because they have been in Pennsylvania so much trying to get our state from blue to red… That won't happen. We are an industrial state… we need work here…we need our state back to where it was…

Go Obama/Biden08/12

Puffin   November 3rd, 2008 9:27 am ET

Let's hope Virginia and Pennsylvania will go Obama. I worry about Pennsylvania.

Deb   November 3rd, 2008 9:27 am ET

America just one more day before most of us can head to the polls and vote for change. I will be so proud and excited to cast my vote for the next President of the United States — Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden. They will bring the unity and change this country so desperately needs.

CanIcallyouJoe   November 3rd, 2008 9:27 am ET

What was the line? "You can fool some people none of the time, and some people some of the time, but not all people all of the time"?

This quote would probably explain the Obama supporters the GOP has created.

AL   November 3rd, 2008 9:27 am ET

This is great and other polls that I have seen this morning have him up even higher, for example in PA up by 10.. With all the trips he made to PA it looks like he didn't even put a dent in the contest, he will be lucky if he energised his base there. One more day and it's not coming fast enough. I cannot wait, BYE BYE Georgie and all you cronies..

Everybody get out and vote..this election is far TOO important not to have your vote counted.
McCain likes to think he is closing everywhere, but that would only be
a pipe dream as it stands now….still, we must not be complacent and want everyone to make their vote count and all their friends to vote as well.
We need Sen Obama to be our next President…..we need this country to be brought together and not divided as we have seen it due to the vile, rabble rousing campaign of McCain.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

LISTEN UP, FOLKS!

Get out there and VOTE… We don't have Anything sewn up, we need every single vote, so keep up and keep it going, and we will have a brand new President on Wednesday( President Elect, rather).

I can't WAIT to cast my vote tomorrow. Would have done it weeks ago but Alabama doesn't have "early voting" except by mail-in ballot, and I didn't find That out until last week, too late to do it.

Go vote, Everyone. Stand in line if you have to, whatever it takes. This one is too important Not to cast your vote.

Thanks!

Obama/ Biden '08

Cathy   November 3rd, 2008 9:25 am ET

The Penn GOP just cost Susan Collins my vote, and I call on all Maine people to do the same -Vote for Tom Allen and send the GOP a message!

Where are Palin's medical records? Did she LIE like McCain, who promised he would not run a smear campaign?

What about Palin's Kenyan WITCH DOCTOR, Todd's membership with the anti- AMERICAN ALASKAN INDEPENDENCE PARTY, the secessionist wanna be, who doesn't want to be buried in the USA?
What about her ETHIC violations?

How can reasonably intelligent Americans be so complacent with such a vindictive, under-educated Person!

Ordinary People are Great, but that doesn't make them great Leaders- do we really want a "joe six pack" representing us in the mist of a world crisis? Even Alaskans say it doesn't take much to be Governor of Alsaka- Honestly, I feel more wary of this country every four years-What does this say about EDUCATION in this country when people flock towards idiocy in droves? SCARY!!!!

Tim   November 3rd, 2008 9:24 am ET

Update: Obama said he would bankrupt the US coal industry with the design of his energy plan and that the cost of energy would necessarily rise dramatically under his plan. Go to Drudge to listen to Obama in his own words. The complete questions, and his complete answer, no out of context words.

Fact: The MSM has been silent on the issue.

McCain?   November 3rd, 2008 9:24 am ET

we have 1 day to take our country back from the republicans that have held us hostage over the last 8 years….but we need YOU to make it happen

Maggie Muggins From Selwyn   November 3rd, 2008 9:23 am ET

Hopefully Obama will win by over 10% to show the world that Americans are people looking for their country to become a world leader once again and rejecting the bullying status they achieved under the Bush/Cheney regime.

In addition the entire world is laughing at Sara Palin and a major political party putting her on their ticket to be their second in command with a possibility of being their leader. She is consider a mental midget.

Puffin   November 3rd, 2008 9:23 am ET

If we refuse to power ourselves…..coal, new drilling, exploiting other technologies that are ours (shale,wind,natural gas…the list goes on).

We will become subservient to the rest of the world. Global warming will be nothing compared to the heat coming from under your collar.

Listen to the candidates own words, Biden: No coal, clean or dirty, Obama: somebody building a coal plant will go bankrupt because of the fees and taxes due to environmental concerns. We might consider drilling, no nuclear until it is safe….please define safe, the French model? We're there, lets do it!

You'll get change alright, but you may not like it.

Vote with your head, not your heart.

The Republican party has devolved into a joke, as evidenced by the rise of Samuel ('Joe') the tax cheat ('Plumber') being lofted to the position of Republican Foreign Policy adviser.

Ha ha ha ha ha. The real Republican party honchos must be cringing and angry at what the rabid right wing idiot fringe has done to their life's work.

Solider   November 3rd, 2008 9:19 am ET

Did anyone expect this to be a landslide??? I didn't think so…. Obama is doing right by not being cocky and telling people to vote.
McCain is trying his hardest to rally the people…..and I have to give it to him…he is running uphill…..but I think the people are Palin Shy. It's hard to take her seriously…..

mccain told us in his own words, he knows nothing about the economy, thats ovious, look at the shape we are in, he voted over 90% of the time with bush cheney. we can't take four more years of this careless leader ship. more companies are going out of business, circuit city in Virginia is closing 155 of their stores, we need a leader that can stop this terrible economy. WE NEED BARAK OBAMA!

My Vote is Locked DOWN!! OBAMA/BIDEN 08/12 and STRAIGHT DEMOCRAT!

THE US OF WHAT?   November 3rd, 2008 9:15 am ET

How do we know these polls are accurate when they only poll people from land lines. I'm voting for Obama and I have never been called or polled and most of my friends and family haven't been polled either.

Just vote straight democratic ticket and if you have to wait 10 hours make sure your vote for OBAMA/BIDEN

Barbara - 65 yr old white female in NC   November 3rd, 2008 9:14 am ET

I really hope McCain loses. He is not the one I want representing Americans. He lies at every stop. Even continues the blatant lies after they have been debunked.

He has no honor.

Obama/Biden '08

. . . No one should have to tell the Democrats this time.

VOTE!

Michael in Houston   November 3rd, 2008 9:13 am ET

I know that after the count tomorrow, Obama will win unexpected states. What the difference between 2004 and 2008 is, the democrats did not have confidence in thier pick for the presidency. If you look at America in whole, we are a nation in the middle. What we don't want is another administration in thier, not listening to the people and making bone headed decision. We the people want fundalmental change. Obama has given a at least a plan, the question is will it be good enough. McCain has not said one thing that he will do different than what Bush has done. Heck, he didn't even mention the word change until the RNC convention, and that was after the American Public said that experience in D.C. didn't matter to them. There are more Republicans leaving thier party due to the leadership and thier ill fated decisions. And that is the reason that the "safe" Republican territories are in jeapordy.

Obama is a questionable candidate   November 3rd, 2008 9:13 am ET

I don't agree with John McCain on everything – but I am utterly convinced that he is qualified to be our next President, and I trust him to do what's right. I know in my heart that he has the best interests of our country in mind. He doesn't simply want to be President – he wants to lead America, and there's a huge difference. Factually, there is simply no comparison between the two candidates. A man of questionable background and motives who prattles on about change, can't hold a candle to a man who has devoted his life in public service to this nation, retiring from the Navy in 1981 and elected to the Senate in 1982.

Vote for Change   November 3rd, 2008 9:12 am ET

If you like Bush you'll love McCain / Palin.

FOUR MORE YEARS!
FOUR MORE YEARS!
FOUR MORE YEARS!

Democrats 08.

Will18E   November 3rd, 2008 9:11 am ET

It's over McCain/Palin. Your toast.

indepdentvoter10   November 3rd, 2008 9:11 am ET

We need a president who unifies NOT divides. McCain you havent give one speech on unifying this country, just hate and deceit. No more war and I am NOT sending McCain any more relatives to kill for this oil. Obama/Biden.

Karen - Tired of McCain and Bush Administration   November 3rd, 2008 9:10 am ET

I am so happy the election will be over tomorrow and finally we can get rid of the Bush administration and McCain/Palin as well. McCain campaigning has been negative and the Bush administration threw one last knife at Obama. They attacked his family by releasing Obama 1/2 Aunt is here illegal. This is a woman who requested asylum and yet this information was release illegally. I am so angry this morning that I'm taking off tomorrow and drive people back/forth to the polls all day.

The dirty tactics of the Republicans just proved they will stop at nothing to win this election.

Obama/Biden '08

LyonsPhilly   November 3rd, 2008 9:10 am ET

Everybody get out and vote…..Can't take any chances that the Republicans won't try anything underhanded…..It's happened before. We need Obama for change……Keep the faith.

"The poll of polls is an average of recent surveys. It does not have a sampling error."

EVERY poll has a sampling error. The correct description would be that the CNN poll of polls combines the underlying poll results in such obscure ways that it is impossible to estimate its sampling error.

As for the poll results, I'm waiting to see McCain lose Arizona.

rich   November 3rd, 2008 9:09 am ET

It's almost over. One more day.

Vindicated?? I don't think so...   November 3rd, 2008 9:09 am ET

I'll be forthright with you I believe the American voters who are supporting Barack Obama don't have a clue what they're doing, as evidenced by the fact that not one of them – NOT ONE of them I've spoken to can spell out his qualifications. Not even the most liberal media can explain why he should be elected. Political experience? Negligible. Foreign relations? Non-existent. Achievements? Name one. Someone who wants to unite the country? If you haven't read his wife's thesis from Princeton , look it up on the web. This is who's lining up to be our next First Lady? The only thing I can glean from Obama's constant harping about change is that we're in for a lot of new taxes.

Bulldog   November 3rd, 2008 9:08 am ET

Sad day for John McCain, once an honorable man that will go down in history as running a dishonorable campaign.
