It's crazy. And he got it from Gallup. It makes me sick and he implied as though Obama has been making up his poll numbers.

I so have issues with this show Race to the White House.

1. The show is a Daily Obama hit piece. Every question has a negative Obama spin to it

2. I think what he was trying to say was the best McCain could do was lose by 2%
Edited on Fri Oct-17-08 05:29 PM by Ragazz68
but more than likely he will win by 6%

7. That's pretty much what he said. The OP missed his point entirely.
Todd, whom I can't stand, said this year the RV models mesh closer with reality. Those numbers are in fact more favorable to Obama.

13. I got his point completely. I was annoyed how he was able to jump 4%
Republicans don't make up that much and we've seen that McCain can't carry independents...it just wasn't flowing for me. I do however understand that Obama was still the favorite.

3. That was beneficial to Obama
Most pollsters weight the poll to Republicans because Republicans vote more regularly. But that creates a false sense of what people really think so it's good when the registered voter, or even all Americans, is used.

5. David Gregory is the HEAD of the TOOLS. Chuck Todd seems to be not quite unbiased.
BUT I do think that a lot of this is meant to keep the race close so that it will raise the TV ratings. That is not meant to say that is a nobler motive than actual bias...

But all he said is that the registered voters numbers are more relevant than the likely voter numbers...

10. every night during the week
somebody has to start a thread calling out David Gregory for being the little shit that he always is. The thing about it is he accomplishes the nearly impossible task by BOTH sides of the political spectrum hating his concern troll ass. Remember Tony Snow giving it to him when he was still WH press guy for NBC? Clearly, he SUCKS...him and Mika are both useless

11. Why is NBC the only one that refuses to release their Poll. ABC and CBS both had double digits
for Obama. But NBC continues with their narrative and refuse to release a poll. Because theirs likely was doouble digits too

15. Actually Six
But I doubt they would embargo their own poll...These polls cost money to conduct and I don't think a network could keep the results secret...
