The Sleep Time and Rise "n" Shine Thread for 9/23-24/08:The Blowout Could Be Shaping
If there were a few things I hate in life (because I try my hardest not to hate anything), polls would be part of that list on the road to perdition. Quick frankly, especially in this modern time where the news media pushes them in our faces like NBC does this week's season premieres of Heroes, The Office, and ER, polls have become part of the disturbing corruption involved in most of the American media sadly.
George Gallup would be rolling in his grave with how dishonest his polling company has become, as his poll and many others in this election season have increased their survey ID to one particular party in order to keep this race close despite record numbers in registration from that other party in the race. You don't need to follow this website to know which party represents which situation to know the BS going on.
In short, I really loathe polls and what they have become. Especially when the broadcast and cable networks repeat them without mentioning the important distinction between likely and registered voters as well as telling the nation what percentage of the survey included Democrats, Republicans, and Independents.
However, they are still more times exact than they are erroneous. And in this latest ABC/Washington Post poll highlighted by DemFromCt, the comprehensive win that could be in store for Democratic nominee Barack Obama could have commenced with this one.
Obama leads by a whopping nine points, a 52-43 gap with now two days before that critical debate (although Nate Sliver goes aganist the grain and says it isn't unbelivably massive as everyone has said it is, and I kind of believe him actually). Now it could be a slight outliner (a political term for a poll that is an anomaly compared to the other polls), but read these two important tibits from the article if you please.
About growing support for Obama:
And the "Dependant Independant" gap:
It's getting a little ugly for McCain, Palin, and the rest of the SOP. And the more ugly it gets for them, the more ugly this ugly race will get ladies and gentleman.
The Read (and Watch)
1. DemFromCT's Great Abbreviated Pundit Roundup.
2. Well "whoppie damn do" Campbell Brown. It took forever for you or anyone in CNN besides Jack Cafferty, Roland Martin, and Jefferty Tobin at that shame of a network it has become to call out that pathetic campaign and their diabolical, egregious ways. Join Rachel Maddow's, Keith Olbermann's. Jon Stewart's, and Stephen Colbert bus. But still, even if she has one step on it, she still can't get in all the way.
3.Brent Staples column in the Times is something thats goes deep. And it will be talked about later.

About growing support for Obama:
More voters trust Obama to deal with the economy, and he currently has a big edge as the candidate who is more in tune with the economic problems Americans now face. He also has a double-digit advantage on handling the current problems on Wall Street, and as a result, there has been a rise in his overall support. The poll found that, among likely voters, Obama now leads McCain by 52 percent to 43 percent. Two weeks ago, in the days immediately following the Republican National Convention, the race was essentially even, with McCain at 49 percent and Obama at 47 percent.
And the "Dependant Independant" gap:
Independents, key swing voters, now break for Obama, 53 percent to 39 percent, reversing a small lead for McCain after the Republican convention. McCain is the choice of 86 percent of Republicans, while about as many Democrats, 88 percent, back Obama.
It's getting a little ugly for McCain, Palin, and the rest of the SOP. And the more ugly it gets for them, the more ugly this ugly race will get ladies and gentleman.
