In case you've missed the recent polls ...

I wasn't sure why the Palin/Anti-Obama voters haven't reported on the recent polls ... I'd hate for the news not to be accurately reported on this forum so here goes:

RCP Average 09/09 - 09/19 -- 47.4 45.3 Obama +2.1

Gallup Tracking 09/17 - 09/19 2756 RV 50 44 Obama +6

Rasmussen Tracking 09/17 - 09/19 3000 LV 48 47 Obama +1

Hotline/FD Tracking 09/17 - 09/19 922 RV 45 44 Obama +1

Battleground Tracking 09/11 - 09/18 800 LV 47 47 Tie

CBS News/NY Times 09/12 - 09/16 LV 49 44 Obama +5

Quinnipiac 09/11 - 09/16 987 LV 49 45 Obama +4

Pew Research 09/09 - 09/14 2307 LV 46 46 Tie

Regular polls like that only reflect the popular vote.
What matters most is the electoral college, as Al Gore can tell you.
Gore won the popular vote in 2000 but lost the electoral college vote.

Either Obama or McCain could also win the popuar vote, and still not be president.
If you're going to look at any polling or surveys right now, all that matters is the National Electoral Map... and that's pretty much neck and neck right now. A couple of electoral maps now show McCain ahead.

Yawn.

You post an electoral map by Karl Rove .... ROFL.

Hmmm ... when the polls a couple of weeks ago reflected the Palin bounce ... the euphoria in this forum was at peak levels ...

It bordered on the fanaticism seen in some Middle Eastern rallies.

Just looking to have some truth in reporting.

Danny boy! This is very normal. What isn't normal is that Obama has never maintained a 10 point lead when the leftist media claims he's a shoe-in.

What is up with that?!!!

Good grief.
...Typical knee-jerk response.

I see you neglect to mention the fact that I also posted an electoral map that was on www.realclearpolitics.com, the same website you posted your poll number from.

Also....
1...Yes, I posted an electoral map from Rove's consulting firm.. But his electoral map has also shown Obama leading for the longest time, even immediately after Palin was chosen as his running mate.

2... Rove himself has no input into the numbers himself. If you bothered reading the site, you'd see his map is simply based on a 14 day average of public polls.


Spare us the typical Democratic/liberal knee-jerk reaction to anything with Karl Rove's name on it. Just look at objective facts for a change. At least try.

Good Grief, Dan!

The Libyan President, Qaddafi, salutes Obama and calls him a "brother".

You have your comparison messed up.

A more appropriate comparison might be fans at a major sporting event.

Thank you.
And talking about fanaticism...people complain about Palin?
Who has had more fanatic followers during this election campaign than Barack Obama... aka "the Dali Bama" ?

Its true that popular vote doesn't really count, but if Obama where to win by 6 points as the gallup poll currently has him up by......it would be virtually impossible for him to lose the electorial college. Clinton beat Bush 41 by 5 points and won over 350 electoral votes.

Only when the popular vote victory is extremely narrow.........does it become likely that the popular vote winner could conceivably lose the electoral college

Not shakin, McCain and Palin will WIN!!
