1. Who the hell is he polling, the Young Republicans?

2. I think it's pretty inevitable that it'll tighten a little in the tracking polls

I posted that this was coming yesterday. But I actually believe that in the last 10 days or so, Obama will widen his lead. And I don't think McCain will ever catch up.

9. Are they still polling "likely voters"?

these close polls of "likely voters" don't seem grounded in reality.

5. Meh...

I think all the polls are not factoring in turnout. Like I saw an article about Pennsylvania yesterday. 500,000+ new Democrats registered this year, whereas the Republicans have LOST around 25,000. They are FUCKED there if turnout is even decent, which it will be. That's pretty much the way I view the national polls too.

3. A couple polls showed tightening by a point yesterday

Hotline and Research 2000. Research 2000 tightened another point today. Hopefully once the tracking polls start reflecting the debate we'll be back on the upswing.

4. Don't worry--this is pre-debate.

6. I can't imagine why anyone would be upset by those numbers

6 points, with our guy above 50%?

That's like a fucking dream.

11. For myself I don't trust MSM so I don't trust their polls and

I believe election fraud happened in 2000 and 2004. I have no confidence in electronic voting - it is just plain stupid to blindly trust them IMHO.

So a big lead would be hard for McCain to suddenly have an "upset" in the polls. And a big lead would be hard to election fraud out of.

7. Still polling over 50% that is what is important.

IMHO.
