3. He didn't lose support
either, like some in the RW media pushed that he might.

Let's see how he does after the MTP interview tomorrow.

4. Give it time.
The bump usually doesn't happen for a day or two. I'd like to see the effect of the Berlin speech. Let's see what it looks like in three days.

5. I'm pretty sure the OP was being sarcastic.
The trend line for Obama over the last few days is encouraging.

10. Sorry, I disagree. My point was...
Obama going up in the trend lines and McCain going down is a good thing.

I never said anything about MSM or not doing anymore work.

Thanks.

11. But the trend isn't more up and down than earlier. I mean the bump is still very small
If it grows i'll be more impressed

15. We always have to do that. And we are. 7pts is solid.
I'd like to see gallup throw Nader and Barr into the mix. Other polls are showing ~+13pt in that scenario.
Does it look like both of them will be on all 50 ballots, or at least the battlegrounds?

23. Nader made it onto the ballot here in WV but it doesn't look like
they are going to get enough signatures to get Barr on the ballot.

8. I don't understand why it is not 60/40.
I guess we will have to wait until the election.

13. Because it's weighted to be as close as possible to 50%
they reweight the findngs from everynight, and adjust the partisan sample to prevent wild fluctuations.

12. I believe that's called a "terrorist poll jab," actually.

17. Obama pre-empted this..
"Hours before flying home, Obama also suggested his poll numbers might dip in the coming days, adding: "We have been out of the country for a week. People are worried about gas prices and home foreclosures.""

18. IF MSM would only let us see the real McCain and not cover for him so much,
that gap might be a lot wider!

22. I understand fully.
I will pay no attention to the chart that's given him a net 5-point boost in the past couple of days or the overwhelming polling evidence that he's turning red states blue quicker than a jackrabbit on a date.

Billo and Sean told me to watch them. They will tell me what I need to know.

24. Those "Obama/McCain" Polls are gonna bounce around until both have Veep Pick
and then we will really start to seem some numbers moving. Until then...it's just "Idiot Polls" based on nothing designed to keep the "Pundits" in business to support their "Corporate Masters." :puke: on these "nothing polls."
