    Wow!
    And this is more meaningful. It doesn't matter what the registered voters say, if they don't show up. It's the people most likey to actually get off their behinds and VOTE who are a better indicator.

      Pretty sure this poll is an outlier. Gallup Daily Tracking has Obama up by 8, for example. Its probably still a statistical tie.

      Well... Obviously Gallup is wrong.

      Why our Obama doesn't have 80% is only because 20% are brain-dead.
      As a recent convert to Obamanism, I can assure you He is still comfortably in the lead and that he is actually pulling away regardless of what the polls show.

      FTA: "Because of close nature of the past two elections, I believe that these national polls mean nothing."

      Indeed. It's all about the electoral votes. National polls are fluff. State-by-state polling after the conventions will show you much more clearly than any national poll.

      Sometimes I think these polls are produced merely to get people interested in reading the particular news outlet.

      I think that a visit to Iraq and Afghanistan would have given him a boost.
      When he stopped remembering that he is a junior Senator and thought he was going to be president of Europe a lot of Americans (and Europeans) were offended.

      This is does not look like a legitimate news story. Where is the byline and the media source? Looks like a made-up blogger article.

      From SOM: "Indeed. It's all about the electoral votes."

      Truer words were never spoken.

      And like it or not, for better or for worse, electoral votes will determine the next American President.

      Headline: Nov. 5, 2008

      McCain wins in landslide! Democratic Congress calls for investigation of pollsters Gallup, Rasmussen and others. Pelosi and Reid call for Florida recount after 1000's of hanging chads found in Boy Scout paper drive.

        All this means is that if you give a crap about your country you better get out and vote!

        That is the only way to end the neocon reign. Obama's responsibility is to raise that sense of urgency. To snap those Americans who have ignored the polling place out of their somnabulant ways. Without such a n awakening it's business as usual and we will see a repeat of '00 and '04. We have seen the results of 8 years of GOP leadership and they do not hold much promise for the future of America.

        You would think Americans were smarter than that but the track record indicates otherwise.

        By the way I think if he picks Kaine as his VP it is a bad move. Just not a recognizable enough figure.

        America is too smart to fall for a carnival huckster like Obama.
        Thats why he is going backwards.
        I was deeply offended at his speech in Germany.
        Especially when he brought up topics of poor judgment in front of non voters.
        He has no pride in America. His choices in friends and mentors show that too.

        No surprise. By the time the Republicans get done impugning Obama's patriotism, and fueling doubts about his religious affiliation, race, experience, wife, preacher, etc., McCain will win in November.

        Those topics are all part of his shameful life.
        They are also fair game to hit him with.
        He wishes we would all just forget about his past, but no such luck on that one pal.
        McCain will win.

          Hmm the 9% lead for Obama was celibrated but the lead in a poll for McCain means nothing. Yeah Buddy, the liberal mind is something.

          Behold the 20%ers, the hard core republican circle ******* still saluting shotgun Dick and his sock puppet.

          Such nice brown nosing loyalists, and with a new poll that even Bucanan says is bunk.

          Same circle jerk of propeller republican shills spouting the same crap.
