Gallup Tracking Poll Thread [Obama vs McCain]

[??????????]

We are still in summer guys...

Of course. I'd personally say this race is a dead tie.

[??????????]

This should prove that God is for Obama!! Just Picking.

Obviously God would be for his son.

[??????????]

Tonight is probably a more major event then McCains speech. But that's pretty much obvious as we all here know.

[??????????]

Did they stop state polling the past two weeks?

[??????????]

The GOP is already completely behind McCain.... and most independents are smart enough to see through Palin's garbage. 

Yeah, because she's in your words "a dumb c*nt".

[??????????]

McCain will probably have a larger lead in both the Gallup and Rasmussen polls tomorrow. We'll also got a clutch of state polling this week, and my guess is that on balance they'll be pretty favorable to McCain -- lots of Obama leads within the MoE and several McCain leads in critical swing states.

It's not gonna be fun for guys on my side. But I'm gonna try and stay calm and wait it out. McCain got a bounce (just as Obama got one), and given that he got to go second, plus the big interest in the Palin pick, it'll probably subside more slowly. In, at most, two weeks, we'll have a better idea of what the equilibrium of the race is and whether that equilibrium is new (either genuinely tied or a McCain lead) or whether it reverts to the old equilibrium (Obama slightly ahead).

A reasonable analysis and one I agree with.

What time does this bastard come out at anyway?

Obama is fixing to speak in about an hour or so.

What time does this come out?

Goldie was awesome. He needs to come back, immediately.

Well, it wasn't to hard to predict the media would give the "win" to Obama. I knew that no matter how well McCain did they were going to say Obama won.  The media is completely carrying all the water for Obama. They are doing everything they can to get him in office it's quite obvious. Obama and the Democrats are NOT being attacked for their policies which created this housing crisis. The Politically Correct loans are not being pointed out by either McCain or his camp. Need I really go on? Lets just get ready for a president Obama. And I'll get ready to give Mr Neophyte one big number one finger when he takes the oath.

[??????????]

I'm amazed by the amount of Republicans on here who seem to have completely given up. It's a little early for that, i'd say. It's not even October yet.

Yes, but overall, outside of this forum, most Americans are simply just to ignorant to do any research themselves.

No, the media is in the bag for Obama. I'd bet my next paycheck that this is the following outcome of the debates as "analyzed" by the media :

Palin/Biden : Biden Win
McCain/Obama 2 debates : Obama win or slight win.

I wouldn't expect the filthy liars in the media to give any other result.

Not to mention those filthy liars in the general public who keep saying in polls that Obama won, too.

Taken of people who had just finished watching the debates and not had a chance to digest any media analysis.

Of course, the media spun the 2000 debates that Gore won, right?

Polls are just catnip for pundits. Fun to look at but not very reliable and I'm a huge skeptic of polls.

You should be happy. The media is on board fully towards electing your socialist buddy.

[??????????]

Winning the debate spin is more important than winning the debate. In 2004 most pundits agreed Bush won the second debate and the third was basically considered a tie, but Kerry's team had better media spin. By the end it became a talking point Kerry won all three debates. That's basically happened with the first debate. I still haven't seen it yet so I'm not saying who actually won but there's no doubt Obama won the media spin. Of course McCain's little suspension stunt no doubt helped in that.

Not hard when you have the full force of the media at your back, like the wind in sails.

See that little ignore button up there next to my name? Why don't you press it?

You guys were ganging up on StatesRights. I pointed out that he was right. Someone attacked him with the same "stages of grief" narrative that is plastered all over liberal internet boards. I pointed out that not only is this talking point all over the web, it isn't even new, and has been going on since at least 2004.

If you people don't want to hear the other side of the coin, why not use the ignore feature instead of playing the schoolyard gang-up game?

My wife and I have had plenty of experience taking on the local papers. We are well aware of their very liberal slant and left wing bias. Not only that, but we have family members who have been INVOLVED in the media, one that worked for the largest paper in the USA for over thirty years. And when he, an FDR Democrat, tells you that the media is slanted I'd certainly believe him over the socialist retards running around on this board.

That's so cute that you have a link for everything. Apparently, to you, you can make no argument without it being "discredited" by some stupid link.

The race is probably Obama +4. This eleven point "lead" is absolutely unrealistic.

I'd say 5-7.

Gallup has had some flatulence the past few days.

[??????????]

I saw that. I'm finished trying to guess this race. I'll just wait till the votes come in.

Obama probably peaked last week. The race is back on now, even Obama is worried. He told his supporters at a New York fundraiser not to let down their guard and keep fighting. That alone proves that even Obama knows his victory isn't certain.

Prevent Defense sucks.

Yep, McCain is closing the gap, as expected.
