Gallup Tracking Poll Thread [Obama vs McCain]

[Nym90]

Obviously very good news for McCain.

Worth noting that Carter got a big bounce out of the Dem convention in 1980 and had the lead immediately thereafter, as well.

Carter's "big bounce" was 1 point on Gallup, 39 to 38.  I checked the numbers a few days ago

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 spent the winter writing songs about getting better]

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.

[HardRCafé]

Part of the reason I'm supporting Obama is that he is a Democrat,

"Part."

Ahahahahahahaha.

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.

Apparently you have never watched a Senator Obama debate. Especially his more recent ones. He was terrific in the MSNBC Ohio debate.

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.

2% and it's over?  Wow.

[Eraserhead]

What time does this bastard come out at anyway?

[??????????]

What time does this bastard come out at anyway?

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

I wouldn't even go that far.  There would be a sense that Obama can't, not isn't winning.

I doubt if that would happen though it is possible.

Yeah, I'm reeling from that one. An Obama lead of 2% means he's sure to lose?!

[??????????]

What time does this come out?

[Rowan]

It usually comes out around 1 PM EST.

[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...

Slightly better than expected.

[Eraserhead]

Maybe it'll freeze tomorrow.

Do you pick up your paycheck from the local RNC campaign office, or do they mail it to you?

McCain's lead will probably evaporate as the week wears on, though he should have some residual bounce until the debates.

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

[Aizen]

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
