Obama takes huge lead in Gallup poll

[DesEtoiles]

PRINCETON, NJ -- Today's Gallup Poll Daily tracking update finds Barack Obama with an eight percentage point advantage over Hillary Clinton (50% to 42%), this gives him a statistically significant advantage for the first time since before the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy.

1. just relax, his numbers are going to tank any day now.

[Mooney]

5. Based on what?

I keep hearing this around here and it keeps not happening. Just the opposite, in fact.

[Mags]

8. do you really think the Middle American will go for the person

who had been indoctrinate bye the Rev. Wright, of God, Damn America and KKK of America. No, he is toast. Most people are not asking God to damn America. He is stuck with this stuff until the end of his political career,which is short lived.

[Mooney]

12. Well they sure as HELL won't go for Hillary.

Yes, an Obama candidacy is risky. Hillary Clinton, however, is the only candidate running who has the potential to perform a "Full McGovern" and lose all 50 states. People can't stand her. They never could. She has been as hated for the last 16 years as Newt Gingrich.

Hillary Clinton is beloved by only the most partisan of Democrats. Everyone else hates her. But if she can find a way to win the election with 40% of the vote, then she should do fine.

[Mags]

24. bet ya. Hillary is loved by many middle american people

they will see that there are so many voters will refuse to vote for BHO if he continues this thing . He should judt dro out ,after all 22% want him to,

[Mooney]

31. No she isn't.

The American people, "middle Americans" in particular, hate her fucking guts. If she runs against McCain, it will be a slaughter, especially if she runs on her "experience," her vast foreign policy credentials, or on stories of getting shot at in hostile countries. States that haven't gone Republican since the Reagan administration will go deep, blood red.

Once again, I don't see Obama as foolproof candidate by any means. But my god, people have to have some kind of selective amnesia to overlook the wide swath of Americans who can't stand Hillary Clinton and will never, ever vote for her.

[roguevalley]

42. more errors, darling. Many missing capitals. Also, there is a period

after people. A cap on they that follows is next. After voters you need 'who'. Delete the space after thing and the period. The last sentence is goofed up: judt should be just, drop the comma and make the next part 'after all 22% want him to' another sentence and end it with a period.

[roguevalley]

43. dupe

[DesEtoiles]

72. Hillary is also hated by many Americans - she has the highest negatives

[nxylas]

45. Hate is too strong a word

I think only the Freeper tendency really hates her. Middle America merely dislikes her.

[Mooney]

46. I'll concede the point to you.

But think about this --- if Democrats are sick of her shit after just a couple of months, imagine how people who already dislike her will feel about it once November rolls around.

[nxylas]

73. Well, then we'd better hope they dislike McCain more

It's often said that oppositions don't win elections, governments lose them. If Clinton were to secure the nomination, by fair means or foul (and I think her fair means are pretty much exhausted at this point), we'd need to push the "McCain=Bush's third term" meme for all it's worth and hope that nothing happens that would rally the country around Bush, if you catch my drift.

[Mooney]

74. It's already established that they like McCain more than they like Hillary.

And my grandfather used to say "People don't vote for anybody, they vote against." If this primary season is any indication, Hillary Clinton's campaign style appears to be to dare people to vote against her. Not a good sign.

[nxylas]

79. That's true in March, but it might not be true in November

I'm just trying to see the glass as half full here. I don't want Clinton to get the nomination, but I'm preparing myself to make the best of it in case she does.

[Mooney]

80. I'll vote for her if it comes down to that

but I can't significantly affect the visceral negative response she gets from most people. No amount of phone banking, canvassing or donations can change a public perception that's been unwavering for 16 years.

[cliffordu]

70. RE: "Full McGovern"

LOL ROFLMAO!!!!

naked politics shoved out the window.....ew


:bounce:


:hi:

:rofl:

[BlueJac]

14. You are a sad person....

Get on board and unite the party.

[Mooney]

15. Mags is under no obligation to get on board.

I'm an Obama supporter too, but nobody is under any obligation to support him, vote for him, or like him.

[Mags]

19. I am far from sad, Hil will be there to greet BHO in the Whitehouse

You are putting too much into the hype of bH. He is a loser and you are going down with him.

[FrenchieCat]

33. Where is Barack a loser?

"In a land far away; perhaps, where you came from."

[roguevalley]

44. Put a period after sad. Put a period after White House, which is two

words. Cap the B in bH. Your last sentence is laughable. But it is written properly. :-D By the way, is 'you are going down with him' a threat? Bad form on this board.

[cali]

75. sadly delusional

and mags, the airwaves were saturated with Wright for over 2 weeks, and he's not only up in Gallup but in Ras. Face it, Obama has some teflon, hillypoo hasn't a shred.

[Mags]

22. I may be sad but not in na na land. He ain't got a chance. Slow down

come back to the real world and try to accept the fact that he is toast.

[FrenchieCat]

35. In Na na land Hillary may still have a chance.......

But that is in your world, and don't you confuse it!

[Mags]

25. nothing sad here,, just don't want to have to vote for a loser, you know BHO

[roguevalley]

63. Listen up, Mags. Use caps, Use periods. Add commas. Really

try a little.

[grantcart]

76. not sad 'ignored' one of three I have

[faithfulcitizen]

16. What's that sound? That's the train leaving the station without you.

:hi:

[Downtown Hound]

21. LOL! More delusional juice?

[TheDonkey]

23. You are pathetic.

[Mags]

26. Pathitic is a strong word, just can't think of one that is more degrading to explain

you.

[FrenchieCat]

36. Your world Mags, and welcome to it!

[roguevalley]

39. Pathitic is spelling Pathetic and you need a 'to' after explain.

RV, trying to be helpful.

[roguevalley]

37. You must be a disruptor. You can't spell: bye should be by. You are

such a tool. By the way, if you use indoctrinate the way you do it needs a 'd' on the end. Plus, there is a space between career and which. Also, 'the Middle America' doesn't need the 'the'. Rev. Wright can be a lot of things but you have the wrong person for KKK of America, but then you probably know that already. We probably are stuck with you and your obvious problems but that is what ignore is for. Bye. (Note the proper use of this word.)

RV, putting nearly 30 years of teaching to good use once more.

[yardwork]

48. Well....Middle America seems to like him just fine.

Reverend Wright himself is a Middle American, and his church is right in the middle of Middle America and....everything seems just fine.

[cliffordu]

69. Didn't sly stone have a song about this??

HEEEE------------ is every day freeple

Here is a short troll who bumps up the small troll

and so on and so on and scoobee doobee doo.....


HEEEE------------ is everyday freeple...yeah yeah yeah yeah

Well here comes the duMP'er who trolls like a chump'r

and creeps like a freeper and scoobee doobee dooooooooo


HEEEEE----------iseveryday freeple

[mikekohr]

78. I'm From Middle America, I've Got News For You,

I live in a rural county that has been controlled (emphasis on the sylable Toll) for 160 years. Senator Obama has deep support here.

And he got 70% in the state of Idaho. Idaho is whiter than Alaska in the dead of winter.

mike kohr

OBAMA '08, -believe-

[Bensthename]

11. yah, people are going to hear that Wright controversy any day now.

[TomBall Democrat]

17. Yeah, right after the MSM reports that she's committing

election fraud in TEXAS.

She's TOASTED. And she did it to herself.

It couldn't happen to a more deserving soul than hers.

[earthlover]

18. Why? simple question. you didn't say....

[Whisp]

2. Galluping all the way...

giddy up, giddy up, yeeehaaaa!

[hayu_lol]

7. Once you take out the margin of error(+-3%)...

the remaining 5 points is essentially a tie. Not a huge lead at all.

They remain in a neck to neck race.

[Mooney]

13. That's funny, because last week

when HRC had a two point lead in a single poll, her supporters characterized her numbers as "soaring."

Thanks for clearing that up.

[Muttocracy]

71. then where does the rounding stop?

:shrug: so much for statistics classes I took.

[kid a]

3. awesome!

[ima_sinnic]

4. wonderful news!!

YAY!

YES WE CAN!

[meow mix]

6. bad polls, lack of money, daily expenditures of a long election.

much of the party now coming out against her, in full view.

she'll have to get out soon..
i dont know how she'll survive much more.

[knixphan]

9. Yes we can, indeed.

[faithfulcitizen]

10. you made me day! thanks! :)

[Mags]

20. no problem, you better think twice about your grandiose feelings

Hope you can cope with losing.

[ossman]

27. wow. I just donated $100 to BHO for ya! Thanks for the inspiration.

[Mags]

28. how do you feel about wasting your money? Hope you

aren't on a budget, if so you are droping fash.

[ossman]

30. Nope. I just donate every time some dipshit like you starts spouting off at the mouth. BHO. Really.

C'mon... make me donate more. I'm not near my limit for the GE.

[Mags]

32. do it, do it. waste your last cent on BHO he is your master and savior, do it.

[anonymous171]

54. Interesting how having a large support base is bad now.

BTW, if anyone hasn't told you this, welcome back to DU.

[JVS]

41. You'd better be careful, you might end up broke with all the dipshits spouting so much.

[roguevalley]

65. Cap how and reread your last sentence. Period after Budget,

Cap if and consider what 'droping fash' does to your argument. Coherency is a must in debating others.

[Mags]

49. waisted your money kiddo

[faithfulcitizen]

29. is mags short for maggots? what's eating you?

[Mags]

34. the crap and lies from BHO is what is eating me.

you are in another world and you really can't face reality, I just think it is sad that BHO is taking you folks for aaaanzhilarious ride.

52. Is that all you ever have? Insults?

:eyes:

[FrenchieCat]

What is it that Mags has to offer that is any different? Why don't you tell me

When someone comes to pee in a thread, they should bring an umbrella.

[faithfulcitizen]

40. sounds more like sour grapes. BHO just KOed HRC, K?

:silly:

[GoneOffShore]

50. Mags, you are SO entertaining

:sarcasm:

Just remember

[roguevalley]

66. Mags is either hitting the bottle or he's from freeperland. Tip offs?

'aaaanzhilarious' and the fact that he/she can't spell for shit. Must be tough being a bigot and facing the prospect that our next president, one with the potential to be great, is going to be a black man. How do I know he/she is a racist? Go up the list and read where he put KKKAmerica with Wright. So sad in so many ways.

[Mags]

51. attack , attack, demean , demean, that is all you have.

[faithfulcitizen]

57. uh, you've already replied to this post. Why do you keep "attacking" me?

I hope you have a pharmacy close. :freak:

[FrenchieCat]

58. Mags, is that you?

[roguevalley]

64. No in 'no problem' needs a cap, Put a period on the end of that

fragment. Cap 'you' and put a period after feelings. Hope you can cope with losing? Sorry, I have no easy fix for delusion.

[blogslut]

47. Tell you what

When James Dobson, Pat Robertson, John Hagee and Franklin Graham take a vow of poverty, then I'll care what kind of house Jeremiah Wright lives in.

[Mags]

53. grasping much? They are not the personal minister of the candidate.

Rev Wright is tied to BHO>

[intaglio]

56. I reckon 12 years old possibly 13

Please try to act in an adult manner; oh, and wipe the spittle off your jaw.

Other Hillary supporters, I am sorry that people like Mags have to come and ruin things.

[Mags]

60. you my dear are just a joke to everyone.

[Genevieve]

62. AND YOU'RE A FUCKING MORON.

Look at your posts. How old are you? Eleven? Get an education, you idiot.

[roguevalley]

68. Hey, Mags. Your mommy is calling. Get off the computer and go

upstairs. Its hard living in your mom's basement I know but get going. Your grits are getting cold.

[roguevalley]

67. And Coe is tied to Hillary. But that isn't why you are here. You aren't

here to support anyone. You are here to parade your ignorance in full daylight. Go back to freeperland.

[faithfulcitizen]

59. I totally agree! Is this the wrong thread tho?

:7

[blogslut]

61. This thread is so very wrong

in so many ways.

[quantass]

55. Bravo!

[grantcart]

77. This is rather stunning because it is on a 3 day revolving trend when

it takes a huge jump like that it almost certainly means that more is coming tomorrow

Rasmussen is showing something similar.

[tekisui]

81. Hillary is now to where Obama was at his lowest during the faux Wright

controversy shit. Hillary is tanking.

Go, Obama!
