Check this out, when comparing Obama's performance in the last three weeks of the Gallup Poll to John Kerry's from 2004 as according to exit polls, Obama is bettering Kerry's performance in all groups but one. Interesting to say the least. Take a look:

Not to rain on your parade or anything - I know it must be a shocker that obama has lost 9 points in less than a week.

But, wouldn't it make sense to compare the two at the same point in time?

Comparing obama's poll position now to Kerry's election night EXIT polls doesn't make much sense to me.

But I understand the desperation.

Dude, this is a Democratic year, the Dems have all the advantages, and yet Obama is tied with McCain.

Even though Obama is doing better than Kerry, he is totally sucking.

Obama is a mistake and you know it. He is a Globalist, he is not "America first".

I disagree with Hillary on 99% of her positions, but I know Hillary is 100% America First.

Obama is Africa first, UN first.

Therefore, Barack Hussein Obama won't have the chance to become the first Arab-American president (yes, Obama's father is a Kenyan Arab, he is not black). It is over for BHO.

They haven't even gotten started yet. Polls mean nothing right now.

Once the debates begin you'll see Obama take off.

It make sense, 2004 was a re-election year as well as Bush doing poorly the past 8 years does not make it any better for the GOP, not to mention McCain, a poor choice of candidate, Romney or Paul would not necessairly do better, but would not do worse than McCain. The fact it's such a harsh year for the GOP says something when the current polls are almost a tie between the celebrity pop star Obama vesus an old frail out of date politician McCain. Although polling is too early at this stage, Obama's stance to the extreme far-left even makes socialist Senator Bernie Sanders looks conservative and such an extreme view is not concurrent with the politics and establishment of America on a national level. Those that are voting for Obama aren't necessairly voting for a socialist policy, they are mainly voting for no better choice, a change of administration.

Dems are getting desperate. Comparing one loser to another.

McCain is outperforming Bush in every single state he won, = win for McCain!!

And to think I have been saying all along that the Obama supporters need someone or something to make them feel good, well I was right, they read things like this and feel good again despite knowing that Obama has fallen like a rock.

The two comparision of Kerry and Obama I see.

Both have spent millions to buy votes and lost anyway.

Both have just been swift boated!!!!!!!
