No way. I'm not giving my money to terrorists.

The MSM can't push poll people when they're alone in the voting booth.

Gallup is a conservative.

Ohio has its highest unemployment rate in 23 years, and a Democrat in the statehouse. Democrats are not losing Ohio.

Palin and McCain are such bad campaigners that the Republicans are trying to hide them from the press. They can't hide forever. McCain is going to lose.

Barak Obama surges in US presidential polls

September 20, 2008 12:00am
DEMOCRATIC White House contender Barack Obama has reversed a Republican surge in national polls.

The results point to an electorate swayed by the financial crisis, and signs that Sarah Palin's star may be dimming.

Senator Obama, who has focused attacks on rival John McCain's capacity to rescue the US economy, led 49 to 45 per cent in a poll of likely voters nationwide by Quinnipiac University.

A CBS/New York Times survey put Senator Obama up by 48 per cent to 43 per cent.

The trend was confirmed in Gallup's daily tracking poll, which had Senator Obama ahead 48 to 44 per cent, the first time in two weeks that the Illinois senator had a lead beyond the margin of error.

Senator Obama's momentum set the stage for the first of three debates with Senator McCain next week and might represent the last chance to cement a lead in the tight race.

"Senator Obama is right back where he was before the so-called convention bounces, with a four-point lead," said Maurice Carroll, director of the Quinnipiac University polling institute, near New York.

"The Democratic discombobulation after the selection of Governor Palin as GOP running mate seems to be steadying."

With economic turmoil ricocheting around the world, the Quinnipiac survey suggests economic arguments may be swaying support towards Senator Obama.

Do the polls only matter when Obama is ahead? In how many states is the lead of either candidate 3 points or less? In these cases, these states are tied. Why can't we all agree the race is tied? As far as the national polls, Obama is BARELY ahead. These polls have a three percent margin of error. Remember when Obama was supposed to win New Hampshire by almost ten points over Hillary?
These polls, when they are this close, mean nothing
