This is a first, according to this poll, obama spanked mccain by a 60% to 40% margin.....I'm amazed, FOX didn't skew the numbers to somehow suggest to it's republican audience that mccain won...

Kerry won all the debates and was up in the polls AP had him up by 4 and Gallup had him up by 1 at this time in 2004......let's ask how he liked being president......oh wait a minute Bush won for the second time against Kerry. OUCH!

Polls don't mean anything let's ask Gore and Dewey how those polls worked out for them.....

Unless you know how the poll is weighted it doesn't mean squat. The CBS is a prime example....two weeks ago it had ObamaBinBiden up by 9 and was not weighted....they did the poll again this week and weighted it this time and ObamaBinBiden is no up by a mere 3.....not enough to carry the margin of error.
I'll admit that McCain s*cked at the debate last night and Obama and Michelle stayed and worked the crowd as McCain and Cindy left....that was a stupid thing for McCain to do. There is one more debate to go and ObamaBinBiden is connected to ACORN and is getting heckled by his fellow dems at every rally he has.....they blame him for the sub-prime meltdown targeting the black and latino community.....not to mention the Bradley effect.....even Obama's campaign knows they have to be up by at least 5 to overcome the Bradley curse.
It is not over till Nov.

Skewing numbers is a Democratic tactic. The numbers are what they are.

Got a link? Is that the DEBATE poll and not a focus group, no? Didn't think so.

wiseguy -- go to foxnews.com and the poll is on their homepage....
it's amazing how you guys are quick to dismiss the poll now that even your own rightwing cable network is acknowledging the truth...mccain was whopped hands down....mccain's chances are OVER....you repugs need to get that thru your skulls.
