1. If my math is right, that's 14 POINTS!!!

[WI_DEM]

2. Obama up 2 and McCain down 2 since last poll

Barack Obama’s lead over John McCain has steadily increased since mid-September, when the race was essentially even. Shortly after the first presidential debate on Sept. 26, Obama moved to a 49% to 42% lead; that margin inched up to 50% to 40% in a poll taken just after the second debate. Currently, Obama enjoys his widest margin yet over McCain among registered voters, at 52% to 38%. When the sample of voters is narrowed to those most likely to vote, Obama leads by 53% to 39%.

3. *sniff, sniff*

Smells like a landslide.

[WhollyHeretic]

4. and PEW likely voters is at %53-39

:wow:

[Drunken Irishman]

5. Among likely voters, it's 53-39.

So still a 14 point spread.

Anyone know how good Pew is, though?

41. PEW is hella good.

I didn't know they were tracking the elections. I usually use them as reference for Internet-type statistics.

6. Mookie agrees it won't be close.

Mook, veteran of eight years in polling.

7. PEW is dead to RCP, Freepers and La Senorita Drudge.

:loveya: However, I love these results.

[A-Schwarzenegger]

14. I got it from RCP.

[SuperTrouper]

21. Yes, I just checked RCP and Obama's lead goes >6% in RCP average. Thanks

26. Pew is "in the tank" for Obama.

[tblue]

8. That 'real America' strategy is just working gangbusters for McKKKain!

I have been waiting to see McKKKain dip into the 30s! My, isn't it getting chilly out there in the 'real America'?

[Hippo_Tron]

32. Anybody with a brain could've told McCain that he needs suburban whites in "fake America" to win

And that this divisive shit is just pushing them to vote for Obama. But I guess there's no shortage of braindead people running the McCain campaign.

9. Pew, indeed. Those numbers do stink for McCain. nt

10. I thought the polls were tightening?

12. B-b-b-but....the race is TIGHTENING!!!!11

13. I love the "personally critical" breakdown.

3/4 down the page :)

15. GOBAMA!

I think the Powell endorsement is going to help Obama more than anyone would have thought...We may not like him here that much but much of AMERICA LOVES HIM AND TRUSTS HIM!

[bunnies]

16. The internals are STUNNING!

For example:

... Sarah Palin appears to be a continuing – if not an increasing – drag on the GOP ticket. Currently, 49% of voters express an unfavorable opinion of Palin, while 44% have a favorable view. In mid-September, favorable opinions of Palin outnumbered negative ones by 54% to 32%. Women, especially women under age 50, have become increasingly critical of Palin: 60% now express an unfavorable view of Palin, up from 36% in mid-September. Notably, opinions of Palin have a greater impact on voting intentions than do opinions of Joe Biden, Obama’s running mate.


HA! :rofl:

[high density]

28. No kidding!

Is there a single good thing in there for McCain? Obama even leads on Iraq now, 48-42, almost a mirror opposite of the results a month ago.

[demosincebirth]

17. Put that in your pipe and smoke it!!

[deadparrot]

18. B-b-b-but....the race is TIGHTENING!!!!11

Now let's get back to bashing Joe Biden. :eyes:

[Faygo Kid]

19. Wow. Just wow. This is shaping up like 1964 and 1984.

Wow.

[Pirate Smile]

20. Is that the tightening Republicans and stupid pundits are flogging? Was he up 20 points in the last

one?

Now it is ONLY 14 points - JUST.14.PERCENTAGE.POINTS. Oh NOES!!!!

:evilgrin:

[kick-ass-bob]

25. Right where they want him.

22. The only things tightening are GOP guts and bowels as they gradually face stark reality.

Good to know. They must have sound techniques.
