McCain has cut into Obama's lead for a second day and is now just 1.1 points behind. The spread was 3.7 Wednesday and 6.0 Tuesday. The Republican is making headway with middle- and working- class voters, and has surged 10 points in two days among those earning between $30,000 and $75,000. He has also gone from an 11-point deficit to a 9-point lead among Catholics.
Just keep telling yourself, "It's only an election."
This garbage has been posted about 100 times today. It's about as accurate as a blind man taking target practice.
Well I just go on here today, so I haven't seen it anywhere else. If you've been on here all day you should get out of the house more. Seems as if the poll bothers you. So why visit the thread at all....move along to something more enjoyable.

Not only that, why is it garbage? Because it doesn't show Obama with a 50 point lead?
Do you call all the other polls posted that show Obama way ahead (you know, the ones that weren't as accurate as this one) garbage as well?
Still, 2.5 points for Bush/Gore?? That's awful darn close, closer than the margin of error for all the other polls. Does this poll worry you? Seems like it does but maybe I misinterpreted.
No, you must look at the whole picture...currently there are 15 polls listed at RCP of those 5 show Obama's lead to be in double digits, only 2 show his lead to be less than 4% (IBD/TIPPand AP). Obama's average lead is a rather comfortable 7.5%.

Rasmussen and SUSA are usually the ones I give most weight to. This also defies the overall trend. It will be intersting to see if it is the start of a new trend or an outlier, I imagine it will be diffacult to tell because election day is so near. I guess we will see who is right Nov. 4.

It's garbage because it shows McCain with a 50% lead among 18-24 year old voters.
It takes only a lick of common sense to figure out this poll has problems. And I'm not one to discount polls just because there's some bad news in it. You didn't see me whining about polling when McCain was up a few points in early September. But a 50% McCain lead among a subgroup that every poll the entire election season has shown with a pretty convincing Obama lead...
