1. Meh.... thanks for your concern

[weezie1317]

9. I'm not really concerned. This will be a headline story tomorrow, though. ()

2. wow! if we can tie with the doddering over the hill gang that is CBS

:rofl:

3. Thanks for your concern

4. damn! it's the 5th?!

[WeDidIt]

6. Yep, they are polling the future now. One day away and they know the results.

8. It's being released tomorrow, but CBS puts it out today. ABC and NBC do the same thing. ()

13. i know.

5. a lot of undecideds, not going to McCain, he will get a bump from convention

but as the dust clears Obama will begin to gain again.

7. Mmm . . . outliers

[oviedodem]

10. Their sample size is miniscule compared to Gallup and Rasmussen

[Franks Wild Years]

21. Yeah, I was just gonna say... It's a nothing poll, an outlier (nt)

[jenmito]

11. ALSO from your link, polls taken the same dates:

Gallup Tracking 09/01 - 09/03 2771 RV 49 42 Obama +7
Rasmussen Tracking 09/01 - 09/03 3000 LV 50 45 Obama +5

12. I know. Those other polls have already been posted here. I like them better.

[zeemike]

14. A lot of us predicted it

Not because we know the future but we understand the past.
If they want to steal it, it MUST be a close race.

[Teaser]

15. Outliers happen

and really what's happened here is we've got the lower bound on O's numbers and an upper bound on M's numbers coinciding.

[Zynx]

16. Their numbers are fuzzy. Obama leads by only 3% less than he did among Indies and

yet it is now tied? I don't buy it.

[Teaser]

22. They changed their likely voter model!!!

gotta be what changed the results.

[GrizzlyMan]

17. Outlier

[crimsonblue]

18. This poll has no validity and here's why

Obama's percentage is WAY too low. It is fucking unbelievable that he is at just 42%. The only times Mccain has tied is when McCain gets to 45 or 46%. It is impossible that Obama lost 6% in the CBS poll since Tuesday.

[d_b]

23. exactly =)

[jackstraw45]

24. 12% of those polled NOT EVEN REGISTERED TO VOTE

What a PATHETIC Corporate Media attempt to prop up the GOP.

"This poll was conducted among a random sample of 835 adults nationwide, including 734 registered voters...."

19. CNN/Time Magazine/ Opinion Research Corporation poll out yesterday, Obama has surged to a commanding

15 point lead over John McCain.

55% Obama to 40% for John McCain.

Iowa was rated a toss-up until yesterday, and with the way the electoral map is shaping up these new numbers are huge for Obama.

On CNN’s electoral map, both Iowa and Minnesota have now been changed from toss-up to leaning Obama, putting the most unlikely candidate for president in our nation’s history tantalizingly close to the magic electoral 270 votes needed for election. There are still eight weeks to go, but make no mistake. If Obama goes all the way, white people in Iowa will be a big part of the reason why.
