Clinton and Obama tied in Gallup Tracking Poll

[kennetha]

Can some stats rat explain why the Gallup tracking poll and the Gallup/USA Today poll show such different results? And in which should we place more credence?

Thanks.

1. The very first story at Gallup's blog, in that link you posted...

tells the story:

2. that story explains nothing - but check order of questions and question asked and see pro-Obama bias

in NYT-CBS poll

NYT-CBS poll is meant to be self-fullfilling - putting Obama over the top by getting those that want to vote for the winner.

The GOP media wanted the weaker candidate - in the fall - and if elected - in the Whitehouse as promises to the left are tossed to get GOP love and and a changed atmosphere.

3. silly, bitter garbage.

Obama is such a superior fighter to Clinton it's not even funny. She's tone deaf. She fights clumsily. He's deft and knows how and where to stick the knife. And there is NO indication that he'll give in to the right to get "GOP love".

Now have fun munching on that big ol' bunch of sour grapes.

4. OK - you tell me the actions he will take to get that "changed atmosphere" -or does "hope" just make

it happen

5. he will have the support and momentum of millions of People

They will be the ones who push this agenda forward.

Obama will serve as the voice of a movement for change.
No Congressmen will stand in the way or they risk getting kicked right out of office.

This is the true power of the American President,
the power to directly focus the collective will of the People.

This is something Hillary has never understood.
She has always planned for her and her hand picked exclusive team to be running the show.

Obama has made the transcendant step of including everyone who is willing on his team.
He will make our Government inclusive once again.
