Gallup Tracking Poll Thread [Obama vs McCain]

[Eraserhead]

Lieberman and Thompson were apparently very helpful.

Putting those two amazing showmen on in primetime was clearly a stroke of genius.

Anyway, they should start to be a tad concerned if they don't start moving up a little bit by tomorrow. I won't be though!

[Eraserhead]

It seems like Obama is holding up about as well as you could expect, so far.

[Eraserhead]

Well, that's a decent bounce. The next couple of days could be even better for him. No reason to believe it'll last at this point though.

Didn't you express the belief that McCain would still be behind about 48 hours ago?

I don't recall. If I did, I was wrong, obviously. At least I'll admit when I'm wrong.

[Eraserhead]

Yeah, the tracking polls should be brutal today. Everyone should prepare for that.

I wish we held our convention after theirs. Fu ck tradition.

I doubt this accounts for any real difference. So McCain gets a lead for a week or two. Big whoop.

Two weeks is where you start getting problems.

If McCain is ahead or with end 2% in two week, you can count Sen. Obama out. Sen. McCain well do very well in the debates and Sen. Obama will not.

They are both pretty average debaters overall. I don't think there is any way to know will win the debates at this point.

Also how does McCain leading by 2 points a month and a half before the election mean it's over? That's just silly.

[Eraserhead]

What time does this bastard come out at anyway?

Obama is fixing to speak in about an hour or so.

lololol

Anyway, I was talking about the poll...

[Eraserhead]

I'm not at a computer where I can post links but the new CNN poll shows no McCain bounce from the convention. Their poll showed no bounce for Obama either after his convention. It seems like they keep releasing the same poll, actually. lol

Monday, September 8

McCain - 49% (+1)
Obama - 44% (-1)

Nothing too nuts...

[Eraserhead]

Maybe it'll freeze tomorrow.

[Eraserhead]

Monday, September 8

McCain - 49% (+1)
Obama - 44% (-1)

Slightly better than expected.

Really? Not as bad as I was expecting...

[Eraserhead]

That sample was weaker for McCain than yesterday's... maybe even Friday too (I'm too lazy to do the math.)


John McCain is collapsing

Haha. aizen, you're brilliant.

[Eraserhead]

lol. Only John F. Kerry managed to pull off the negative bounce.

Classic.

[Eraserhead]

He shouldn't have let his wife speak under the influence.

[Eraserhead]

When does this tracking poll usually come out? There is really no specific time I have noticed, but they usually do come out after noon.

It should be any minute.

[Eraserhead]

The most hilarious thing is that McCain has eroded Obama's lead on the economy to 3-points. Ha, more of the failed same gaining ground on the economy. There's no hope whatsoever is there?

Dave

Where are you getting this from?

[Eraserhead]

Well, I'm shocked.

About...

[Eraserhead]

Aizen makes jokes, people.

[Eraserhead]

9/11/08

McCain 48% (nc)

Obama 44% (+1)

[Eraserhead]

Why are McCain people excited about a poll that shows his lead getting smaller everyday? Very strange.

[Eraserhead]

Obama is finished.

I am a long way from saying that.

We do have a trend, however, McCain leads and, so far, his numbers are holding steady.  I expect a McCain increase over the next 2-4 days.  If it doesn't happen, it might be a sign the race is getting closer.

hahahahahaha

[Eraserhead]

LOL. But how will JJ spin this one?

[Eraserhead]

Wow. Nice.

[Eraserhead]

Thursday night was very big for Obama.
