The average that Obama is ahead if you look at all the polls is over 7%. But, you can't go by the polls. The only thing you can do is wait for the election to be over. I can't wait! I'm SICK of it.

Public image of McCain grows sour while view of Obama stays steady in AP-Yahoo News poll (http://www.startribune.com/politics/national/31157799.html - broken link)
People's regard for the Republican presidential nominee has deteriorated across the board since September, an Associated Press-Yahoo News poll showed Friday, with McCain losing ground in how favorably he's seen and in a long list of personal qualities voters seek in White House contenders.

LOL, tightening polls are typical at the end of a race. Those of us who've been around for a few elections know you should expect things to narrow, especially when you enter into the last ten days.

Personally, I prefer a close race since my big interest is getting people to vote. What I don't want to see is complacency--that's the one thing that could really do damage. The New Hampshire effect is a bigger concern to me than the Bradley effect.

I don't trust polls. The McCain supporters do not have time for polls because they are working their a**es off to support the Obama supporters for their handouts.

Yet you have time to post inane comments on this board.

It's a trash online poll.

Here, take the poll yourself. I voted twice myself.
