First of all, Real Clear Politics now shows an Obama landslide in the electoral map: 306 Obama, 156 McCain without toss ups included; 360-175 with no toss up states.

Big 10:

Ohio: Obama + 12
Pennsylvania: Obama + 11
Wisconsin: Obama + 13
Iowa: Obama + 19
Minnesota: Obama + 19
Michigan: Obama + 22
Indiana: Obama + 10

Quinnipiac:

Ohio: Obama + 14
Pennsylvania: Obama + 14
Florida: Obama + 5


I don't know if Obama will win by such large margins in these states but the only thing these numbers tell me is that McCain is toast!!

See ya!

The second poll was conducted Oct. 19-22, 2008 among 5,719 registered voters and those likely to register to vote.

The election is November 4. That is the only poll I am interested in. As the other poster says, "Polls are pointless" and can be biased by their questioning. I never give straight answers to pollsters. It is none of their business who I am voting for. We do still have the curtains closed for national elections although Obama wants them taken away for Union votes.

Again, if this forum existed back in 2004 the liberals would be posting the same sort of polls and they would look very similar showing John Kerry with sometimes huge leads.

Kerry did not go on to win did he? I'm not saying Nobama can't win, but it's not over until November 4th.

heh. I like watching all the McCain supporters disregard polls that don't favor him yet post every single AP and IDB poll that does.

No, for the 100th time John Kerry NEVER EVER has large leads like that. EVER!!!

George W Bush was ahead by 2 points in the last few days in November on Real Clear politics, and Obama is well ahead of that.

Obama will win. Even Republican strategists like Karl Rove know the truth so I think it's time for you to face reality.
