Polls continue to shift/ Obama caught?
As I was saying yesterday polls continue to change all the time.
CBS Poll: Presidential Race Tightens and The three-day telephone tracking poll shows neither candidate with a clear advantage
At the same time someone was saying here yesterday that Obama was headed for an easy victory unless he majorly messed up and that Obama’s ties to Rev Wright would not cut it. Really what matters is not so much the size of a story but when it makes headlines. If the Rev Wright scandal were to hit today it would be much worse for Obama. So interestingly enough as Jerome Corsi was in Kenya researching Obama’s ties to political corruption there, he was taken by authorities before he could hold a press conference to release the information he had. This may not become anything big or maybe it will. Although the election is only about four weeks from today, four weeks is a long time in the news business.

This poll was conducted among a random sample of 957 adults nationwide, including 875 registered voters, interviewed by telephone October 3-5, 2008. Phone numbers were dialed from RDD samples of both standard land-lines and cell phones. The error due to sampling for results based on the entire sample and the sample of registered voters could be plus or minus three percentage points. The error for subgroups is higher.
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Barack Obama attracting 52% of the vote while John McCain earns 44%. This is the second straight day that Obama has led by eight percentage points, his largest lead of the year.
Voters now trust Democrats more than Republicans on all ten key issues tracked regularly by Rasmussen Reports. Other polling shows that voters overwhelmingly believe the United States is the best nation in the world. At the same time, 50% believe that other nation’s tend to dislike the USA.
Perhaps if you didn’t spend so much time looking for a poll that you agree with, your posts would be more accurate. I’m no fan of Rush Limbaugh, but Ras is the only poll that guy trusts, which is why I chose to use their information in this reply.
I should make this more clear. The first paragraph is the CBS poll, and where they got their numbers. The second and third paragraphs are from Rasmussen Reports(http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/politics/election_20082/2008_presidential_election/daily_presidential_tracking_poll) and the last two sentences reflect my own opinion.
