1. Comin' back up. That's better than yesterday. Good stuff.

2. Meaningless, and I can prove it.

If it were the other way around (and it might be, two days from now) you'll dispute the results.

Daily polling is a ridiculous waste of time and money. I wouldn't expend any emotions on it one way or the other.

4. You may be right

but I like meaningless polls where Obama is up better than meaningless polls where Obama is down

[Richardo]

5. Your point is well-taken

Me too! :pals:

10. Exactly

3. Gee, where the MSM on this?

If the poll was reversed, they'd be interrupting regularly-scheduled programs with BREAKING NEWS!!!

That said. This is great news. I don't put too much into the daily tracking polls since the popular vote doesn't elect the President, but it's always better to be on top! :applause:

6. the trouble with almost all these polls

is that they are using a methodology and voting patterns from previous elections. At this point we just can't tell what is going to happen with the new voters

7. We have this figure eight cycle going with the Gallup so I don't know why people freak out when we

hit the part where they are almost even.



VP's, Conventions and Debates are the things that may have a long term impact.

8. It's all bullshit...

all of it.

unless we get off our asses, strike back at the Empire, make sure that they don't/can't hack into the voting system, nothing means anything.

Note that the Summer Olympics cloud these issues every Presidential election...it's as if you're runniong a mile race and, with 110 yards to go, they call for a 'break'. you're screwn...

9. OMG. He should be like Zillions of points ahead by now. Hard hats
