19. but but but Pat Buchanan said that she won easily and was a superstar~

this can't be happening!!! noes!

[livetohike]

3. Incredible!

I'll bet the McCain camp internal polls show worse results for them than this.

[TwilightGardener]

4. Wow! The Freepers are clinging to the CBS and Hotline polls like

frightened little baby spider monkeys, so I hope this rudely intrudes into their "reality".

[mvd]

8. I think this should put concerns to rest

The Hotline poll was just a voter ID shift, and the CBS poll seems to be the outlier.

[Pattib]

5. Yeah! Now that's what I'm talking about!

[WeDidIt]

6. Kaboom

Yeah, the polls are gonna start tightening.

:D

7. Historical context from last week's Gallup

[mvd]

9. But Gore really won

So that's a great record!

[chupacabranation]

24. See, this is what scares me. n/t

[malik flavors]

11. Gallup has been around since the 30s?

P.S. way to go Obama!

[Schulzz]

14. They say so:

15. Hmmm...fourteen out of sixteen...

Personally, I like those odds!

[tpi10d]

10. Shrugging off McDesperate

and the pallin' around meme.

As we discussed before I wouldn't be surprised by some tightening...but VERY happy so far. If the McCain "nucular" flops, he doesn't have any more tools in the box.

13. STOP celebrating..........

1. There is 4 weeks to go. ANYTHING can happen. (Think Bin Laden video.)
2. We really don't know WHO shows up to vote on election day, the only poll that matters.
3. Three other polls, Zogby, CBS, and Hotline, show a tightening race. Only Gallup and Rasmussen show this wide of a lead.

Okay, hopefully now, no one is getting too complacent, long way to go folks, it's a VERY close race.

[regnaD kciN]

17. Thank you for your "concern"...

:eyes:

BTW, you're wrong on point 3. R2K has Obama up by 11.

[nickn777]

23. point is people should act like it's tied....

I fully expect some sort of REAL October surprise, such as a video of Bin Laden endorsing Obama......Bush/McCain are planning something, they have to be....

[WeDidIt]

16. These Results are 100% Post-Kitchen Sink

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday are all post-mudlsingfest.

It ain't workin' for the McCryptster.

[regnaD kciN]

18. Actually, the Ayers-fest only began on Sunday...

...meaning that the first day to fully pick it up would be Monday, and the first results to include it would be today. We won't have a full tracking result of post-StormyWeatherman data until Thursday morning.

[marimour]

20. Thanks. hope we can keep it up in the next few days.

[tpi10d]

21. correct me if I'm wrong

The Ayers fest started Sat. with the pallin around comment and follow up MSM coverage.

[WeDidIt]

25. Bingo

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday were full on hatefest days, and McCain hasn't budged things.

[thewiseguy]

22. No, it started on Saturday

[grantcart]

26. these gradual incremental changes are the most telling

they are harder to reverse than the wild swings
