I think that polls don't really amount to anything. I always thought that some people may just say, yes, I will vote for Obama, because it is the " cool" thing to say. It is cool to support Obama. But when they are in the both reality will set in, and they will realize that they can't have a extreme left president, house and Senate.


My Son is 9 and in 4th grade. They have been studying the election process, and the different forms of US government. He asked us who we were supporting and we informed him, on our choice. So the other day he said that he was in the playground with a few other kids, and he joined the support for Obama, but he said it was just in school, so that he and some of his friends

4th and 9th graders don't decide the election.

Didn't another poster on here say something similar?

LOL!

No, that's not how it happened. What actually occurred was that a "Democrat" named libmom posted a lengthy screed about how she just couldn't bring herself to vote for Obama, and, in one of the follow-ups, said that she'd heard "two gentlemen that know her husband say: "we going to stick it to the republicans this year, but we are gonna do with a colored man to boot."

So, it's a poster we've not seen here before. One who claims to be a liberal and a Democrat....yet who posts about not being able to vote for Obama, and then turns around and uses the phrase "colored man" in the course of relating a second-hand, hearsay story about what some Democratic voters supposedly said.

Not quite the same thing.

Allot of people just want to go about their lives, and go with the flow. The day of the election is when the polls really count.


Most " working" Americans don't wear their political affiliations on their sleeves. They talk about it in the both!

McCain Support Continues Downward Spiral

Obama Leads by 19 Among Those Who Have Already Voted

PrintEmailShare


Overview


Barack Obama leads John McCain by a 52% to 36% margin in Pew’s latest nationwide survey of 1,325 registered voters. This is the fourth consecutive survey that has found support for the Republican candidate edging down. In contrast, since early October weekly Pew surveys have shown about the same number of respondents saying they back Obama. When the sample is narrowed to those most likely to vote, Obama leads by 53% to 38%.


A breakdown of voting intentions by demographic groups shows that since mid- September, McCain’s support has declined significantly across most voting blocs. Currently, McCain holds a statistically significant advantage only among white evangelical Protestants (aside from Republicans). In addition, Obama runs nearly even with McCain in the so-called red states, all of which George W. Bush won in 2004.



Just as ominous for the Republican candidate, Obama holds a 53% to 34% lead among the sizable minority of voters (15%) who say they have already voted. Among those who plan to vote early but have not yet voted (16% of voters), 56% support Obama, while 37% support McCain.


While Obama’s support levels have not increased much in recent weeks, a growing percentage of his backers now say they support him strongly. Currently, 74% of Obama voters say they support him strongly, up from 65% in mid-September. A much smaller majority of McCain backers (56%) say they support him strongly, which is largely unchanged from mid-September.


The latest national survey by the Pew Research Center for the People & the Press, conducted Oct. 23-26 among 1,500 adults interviewed on landline and cell phones, for the first time includes minor-party candidates Ralph Nader and Bob Barr. Few voters support either candidate, and their inclusion does not substantially affect the margins of support in the Obama-McCain race.
