Gallup Tracking Poll Thread [Obama vs McCain]

[J. J.]

Looking at the fact that McCain can pass away any time because of his old age, seriously can we afford Sarah Palin as our President after 8 years of Bush presidency ?

That would be terrible.  We'd have someone with limited experience in national office, isular, with no executive experience ... oh, wait.

It's who a President surrounds himself while in office with that makes him bad, good or great. While it is likely that both Obama and McCain would reach across the gap and appoint from the other party, I have yet to be given any assurrance that Palin would.

Why? She has worked with Dems before. She alligns herself with Repubs and Dems who are willing to put corrupt politicans in jail.

I didn't know Palin associated with Rezko?

Now, who is right ?

Zogby ? McCain+1 ?
Rasmussen ? Obama+5 ? *
Gallup ? Obama+10/11 ?

* indicates my choice

[Ronnie]

I don't know who's right -- Rasmussen or Gallup.  I guess we have to wait until election day.

But yeah, this election is over.

McCain was only +1 in Zogby in a one day sample. Overall it's still Obama +5

[Moooooo]

I wonder if McCain will get the Mondale talk tomorrow? Keep your chin up for the down ballot races, but it ain't looking good.

Wow, did not expect the TRADITIONAL model to be showing this sort of result.

wow.

wow.

Have we actually gotten a good explanation on how the Traditional Model differs from the other models?

No one knows.  All we know is that it doesn't apply as strict of a standard to past voting behavior.

This sample might include Halloween, but it also includes Obama's informercial.

I thought Palin's whole appeal was her "executive experience"?

[Lunar]

That's why he had the "oh wait"

[Zarn]

Gallup falls from grace (even if Obama wins by 8% or less).

[Verily]

They're picking up more voters in Traditional than Expanded again...

[Fmr. Pres. Duke]

Wasn't Gallup horrendous in 2004 anyway?

[Ronnie]

Wasn't Gallup horrendous in 2004 anyway?

No, they nailed the national numbers in '04 in the traditional likely voter model.  The state numbers were very shaky, but they stopped doing those anyway.

[Wall St. Wiz]

Brutal numbers the last two days for McCain in the trackers, Zogby aside.  I think the informercial gave him a bump as I expected.  Oh well, I resigned myself to a McCain loss a long time ago.

You missed the humor.

[Iosif]

There was humour?

[J. J.]

There was humour?

No, "h-u-m-or-r" since this an American election.  You just didn't get it, but what else is new?

I doubt J.J. won the Mensa spelling bee.
