(Maybe we should have a single thread with the current/past polls instead of multiple threads and make it a sticky thread?)

Anyway, Please update us with the latest polls here

Oops! Obama raises $10 million in 24 hours after Palin screech

LOL I heard Sarah Paline raised 10 million dollars after her RNC speech, but it was for Obama

This bothers me. CBS News latest poll. Obama-McCain tied 42 % each. WTF!!??

http://www.cbsnews.com/stories/2008/09/04/...in4416798.shtml

(CBS) The presidential race between Barack Obama and John McCain is now even at 42 percent, according to a new CBS News poll conducted Monday-Wednesday of this week. Twelve percent are undecided according to the poll, and one percent said they wouldn't vote.
This is in contrast to a poll conducted last weekend, where the Obama-Biden ticket led McCain-Palin by eight points, 48 percent to 40 percent.
McCain has also closed the enthusiasm gap some with Obama, but it still exists. Fifty-five percent of Obama's supporters are enthusiastic about their choice, and now so are 35% of McCain's. Last weekend, just 25 percent of McCain's supporters were enthusiastic about him, compared to 67 of Obama's supporters.

This week's polling continues to show voters waiting to decide about Sarah Palin (see yesterday's poll on Palin). But in interviewing done yesterday, 83 percent of registered voters said that spouse and family of a candidate will not affect their votes.
Other factors within the race and overall opinions of the candidates, however, have remained similar from this weekend.
Thirty-eight percent say they have a favorable view of Obama, compared 34 percent unfavorable and 27 percent undecided. For McCain, it's 37 percent favorable, 36 percent unfavorable and 27 percent undecided.
McCain maintains his large advantage on the likelihood of being an effective commander-in-chief - 46 percent of voters say it is "very likely" McCain would be an effective commander-in-chief, compared to 24 percent who say that about Obama.
But McCain still has one big deficit to make up -- just 44 percent of voters say he understands their needs and problems, compared with 60 percent who say that about Obama.
In the poll, Obama continues to have a lead with women voters, 43 percent to 38 percent, while McCain has the edge with men, 46 percent to 41 percent. As has been standard in this campaign, voters under age 45 are backing Obama, while older voters are supporting McCain.
McCain wins the support of married voters and Obama has the backing of voters who are not married. It should be noted, though, that most married voters are older while those who are not married tend to be younger.
Independents in this poll are divided. In the poll conducted over the weekend, Obama had a six-point advantage with this group, but now the lead is three points, 39 percent to 36 percent.
The poll also shows that the majority of Clinton supporters continue to support Obama - 67 percent in this poll, up from 58 percent last weekend.
McCain has seen a similar uptick from white evangelicals since the weekend - 66 percent now, up from 57 percent.

I don't believe polls whether it's good or bad for Obama. I think polls are a big scam. How can we tell the number are actually "the" real results?Plus what questions were being asked to gather that data? I just don't believe them. The game is: give Obama an edge then slowly take it away until near election we will be tied or McCain slightly ahead. Then when the election is stolen, they can say it was a close race. I have seen this before.

We need more posts like the above. Polls are an MSM ploy and they are designed to facilitate use of Diebold machines to steal elections. Thank you 'eyelash'!

No need to panic. It's one of seven national polls in the past four days. The others show Obama's lead by one to nine points.

The national polls don't mean much. We don't elect the president by popular vote. In-state polls are more informative, as they translate into projected electoral votes.

If you'd like to see the popular vote decide the race for president, see http://www.nationalpopularvote.com/. It's a move to persuade states individually to assign their electoral votes to whomever wins the popular vote nationally regardless of how the candidate did in that state itself.

Once enough states get on board to control 270 electoral votes, it's a done deal. It doesn't matter what the remaining states do.

Assuming the media does it job and exposes Palin's record, I expect McCain #'s to drop.

The McCain Camp is in geared against the media. It's just a little game they are playing because - according to them - The MSM is "picking" on Palin unfairly and they are threatening not to "expose" her to the Sunday shows, cable shows, etc. I think what they are really afraid of; it's that she will be asked questions about Afganistan, Pakistan, The Israel - Palestinian conflicts, the Georgia - Russia attacks and this poor ignorant piece of white trash is not going to be able to answer those questions at all. They need to educate/adoctrinate Palin first.

Why do you assume "media [will do] its job and expose Palin's record?

It is highly likely that media will not do that; and, instead, we are going to have to do that ourselves. Media are utterly and completely useless. They are a part of the problem and, by no means, are they a part of the solution.

This is from rasmussen and just released. It is the first poll that I have seen that includes polling after Palins speech. It is a 3 day tracking poll, but only has one day of post-Palin numbers

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Friday shows the beginning of John McCain’s convention bounce and the race is essentially back where it was before Barack Obama’s bounce. Obama now attracts 46% of the vote while McCain earns 45%. When "leaners" are included, it’s Obama 48%, McCain 46% (see recent daily results).

Well if they don't, the Democrats need to bring up her records. There is enough shit to sink this woman without even bringing up her Family. Her Church views association with the Secessionist in Alaska needs to be brought up. She has so many eithical problems, lied about the Bridge to Nowhere. We can do our part by starting viral e-mails and Youtube videos.

I don't expect it to get any better.

You dont expect it to get better for which candidate?

See post #5. . .

I guess with McCain and Palin, the more America sees, the less we like.

guess they realized they blew it BIG TIME with the insane geezer's "base".

This is what I keep saying. We could well be watching them steal another election right out from under our noses. Just last week the media tried to tell us that McCain's choice of inknown Buffy offset any bounce Obama got from his huge speech. And I kept screaming at my tv 'bull**it!!!'.

Don't worry about the polls being close. The media knows Obama is way ahead, but if they report that people won't watch their stupied, fake news shows.

This website has the Electoral College at 301 Obama v. McAnciet 224 w/13 Ties.

If you look at Alaska ... 3 Electorial College Votes - It ties with all the smallest states in weight.

Way To Go McAncient - You take Alaska Whoo Hoo ... Woopdie Doo.

The CBS poll is in left field...and their polling techniques are questionable. The Gallup Poll is the more reliable and here is today's graph (Obama 48 McCain 44):


I'm not sure how to insert it in the body so I have attached it and here is the link also:

http://www.gallup.com/poll/110065/Gallup-D...Now-Points.aspx

the closeness of the race, per the polls, is a problem

it wont be a close race once the 20,000,000 no land liners vote, but rove can use the polls to steal the election

May I suggest...

Isn't CBS considered a rightwing news network who's viewers are mostly Republican?
