The average for the 4 polls covered is 306 for Obama to 202 for McCain.


This from Hoffington Post this a.m. Really valuable!

What is anyone else saying??

1. I think you know the answer to that question.
According to the data, Obama is blowing McCain out of the water. The MSM will NOT report on it because it ruins all their fun. They keep propping up national poll data that's completely irrelevant, pretending those numbers show a close race.

I quit watching.

2. You got that right. The big story is why Obama is within range of states
that went heavily republican and may switch.

3. Well
Might as well ask why 75% of the stuff they say about obama is negative and how they are giving a reach around to McCain to boost his chances?

4. The Corp. Media will cry foul and claim they do, all the time...
of course, their notion of "reporting the electoral college" is to focus on a swing state or two, and refuse to give a bigger picture of how Obama's really doing in the statewide polling.

If the media can drag in a reference or three about white workin' class voters who aren't sure they know this guy Obama, who acts kinda uppi-- er, arrogant!--that's their in-depth coverage.

In my experience, anyway.

5. You've probably seen this, but...

...even though it's going under the MSM radar, we have someone here who keeps very good tabs on the EC... And his numbers look better, even though they show a disturbing trend over the last month:
