It's an online UNSCIENTIFIC poll, people. That has been open since October 3rd, no less.

Drudge is a moron.

Here is the referenced poll. It was not on line and Obama has a three point lead which replaces a McCain lead in their last wave of polling.

FiveThirtyEight.com: Electoral Projections Done Right: Bad Spin Watch: Drudge Touts Weeks-Old, Web-Based Poll
For his latest trick, Matt Drudge is touting the results of an AP-Yahoo poll that shows a two-point race between Obama and McCain

For one thing, the poll is not timely. It entered the field on October 3 -- two weeks ago -- and left the field on October 13, which was this Monday.

For another thing, it's an internet-based poll

Why can't McCainites be straight up and honest with undecided voters? Do they consider them intellectually below them and someone to be toyed with?

[Americanboy]

Jesus, you Repubs are getting desperate. It's over, you lost.

The poll is an ONLINE poll and I could vote for McCain or Obama 10X if I'd like, it's also from October 6th!

The race WILL probably tighten in a week or two, like they all have in past history. I'm an Obama supporter and I really don't expect Obama to win by 14 or 10 points like several polls have put him ahead by. Obama will probably win in an electoral landslide, but the country is way too polarized for Obama to win with a popular vote landslide.
