I don't buy this NewsWEAK poll at all. If this is accurate the Bradley Effect will be renamed the Obama Effect the day after the election.

Clinton supporters are finally getting it. Why would they vote for McCain who made fun of Chelsea (called her father Janet Reno) and laughed when a McCain supporter said: "How do we beat the B*TCH?"
McCain is a mean, dispicable man who cheated on his 1st wife, lied on his marriage certificate w/Cindy McCain, and called Cindy a C*NT!
C*NT = CANT, WRIGHT?
Every BO Kool-Aid drinker calls John McGame MC CANT. So what's the big deal if he was joking around with his wife and called her Mrs. Mc CANT.
Great, more liberal BS propaganda. What has the biased and slanted media in our country become?
You can go always to Fox network and not post anything here...
If you take time to read the metrics behind the poll (Newsweek Poll Methodology in the upper left corner) you find that the poll used 231 Republicans, 324 Democrats and 307 Independents. That's 93 more Dems than Reps that were polled in their survey. It comes as no surprise then that Newsweek's poll shows a 15 point lead in favor of Obama. If you don't think that makes a difference then let's see a poll where 93 more Republicans than Dems are sampled and check out the results. This is the kind of weasel tactic that biased, partisan rags like Newsweek use all the time. They just hope no one will take the time to read the small print and discover their skewed population of poll respondents. As for Obama, can you say: "Howard Dean Eleventh-Hour Flameout"?
If we don't down size government the people with access to real capital will flee. Cut now or bleed later.
Shoot, I'll leave the country willingly if McCain't wins this Fall. It will be an unmitigated disaster if he doesn't keel over before he even gets inaugurated... poor guy. McLOSER.
Absolutely I will go to France
Idiots like you need to flee
A new seal debuted on Obama's podium Friday, sporting iconography used in the U.S. presidential seal, the blue background, the eagle clutching arrows on left and olive branch on right, but with symbolic differences. Instead of the Latin 'E pluribus unum' (Out of many, one), Obama's says 'Vero possumus', rough Latin for 'Yes, we can.' Instead of 'Seal of the President of the United States', Obama's Web site address is listed. And instead of a shield, Obama's eagle wears his 'O' campaign logo with a rising sun representing hope ahead. The office of the President of the United States should not be made into a comic poster by a candidate seeking to represent the country. How many people gave there last breath fighting for the very freedoms we are now practicing. What's next the "O" replacing the stars on 'Our Flag'.
I thought that was a rumor when I first read this post, but you're right.

Wow, that is in such poor taste.
AOL had a recent poll asking the same quesiont.
300,000 people or more voted and McCain was way ahead by at least 20 points when I took it.
I am a statistician and understand about sampling theory, but a 1000 person poll just isn't the same when a 300,000 person poll has such differnent results..
"Statistician:" have you ever heard of "freepers"? They are right wingers with nothing better to do than screw up online polls by voting over and over and over again. There's nothing more completely meaningless than an online poll.
Check into how the polls is administered. If you can register but once with your internet address then some polls today filter out repeat participants using the same internet address. There is no way to know if this is the way any on line poll is conducted of course. By the way, why would a "right wing" do it any more than a "left wing". Repeat voting is something routinely associated with youth - like American Idol - and if Obama has a large youth vote, then today you would think "freepers" would be a liberal thing, not a right wing behavior. I can see it can be disheartening in this case that one poll can show a large lead and another show something similar. Plus just because you participate in a poll, it doesn't mean the participant will also vote in the general election. I am convinecd more and more that many polls today are reported just to cover a slow news day.
There's no way to tell where the federal energy agencies stop and the major oil companies start.
They're the same people--the same technicians, the same administrators. Our federal energy
policy is overly simplistic. It's not designed for the consumers, it's designed by and for the
major oil companies, and President Bush and "MCain't and isn't able to Govern" is their
spokesman. It's 'raise the price of oil as much as possible as quickly as possible.' Period.
This is the point in the election cycle when rigged polling data is presented by left leaning polling organizations such as Newsweek to suggest that the liberal is way ahead. This is done because most of the voting sheep don't know squat about either candidate based on their own research and they want to vote and they would prefer to back the "winner". See where this is going? Don't say this isn't true. Go back to Mario Como getting beat by Potaki in NY state governor race. The night before that election the liberal pollsters had Como "ahead by 10%". The next day that liberal POS lost by 19%. The misleading pollsters tried to fool the sheep into supporting the "winner" and we know what a loser Mario was and still is today. Go right ahead and believe your own BS and say Hello to President McCain in November!
Funny. I thought republcans had removed the word "rigged" from the dictionary after what happened in Florida in 2000. You have big ones my misinformed friend.
yeah sure body, McCain won't even win his own state.
And why would you vote for him anyways, I bet you can afford $6/gallon gas, have a nice and stable job and house and don't give a damn about your struggling neighbors and gets excited when thousands of people get killed during war...
PS- Republicans cheat at the polling booths - I'm sure Cuomo lost because it was rigged.
Yeah, if he can make it through the election without keeling over, that will truly be a miracle. Elect the man, he's a DUMMY we can all feel comfortable with - he's another example of American Mediocrity.
Go ahead, vote for McCain't and see just how low this country can slide down the path of self-destruction. It will be a disaster of magnificent proportions after 8 years of Bush to see another idiot running our country who can't speak, who has trouble expressing himself, who is belligerant - but thank goodness he's WHITE, CONSERVATIVE and MEDIOCRE.
Just what we need, another dummy in the White House. Show 'em how it's done, McCain't supporters. You go. Knock yourselves out at the polling booths this Fall..
Refer me to a national poll that shows McCain ahead at the moment.
without plan to make end of the war in Iraq and plan for honor withdrawing its meaning that the American troops still fighting on the land so the democratic party must support it and agree to finance as national situation not as a support the political decisions of war
Funny that no one can tell me why I should vote GOP this time, using the GOP as the example.
I guess Republicans have allot of "coming-out" to do.
Didn't Sen. Craig come-out already?
other polls put it at mccain 65% and the other guy 35%
Only your poll of your family shows this
Actually no, Fox news puts Obama +6. This clown is talking out his butt.
www.realclearpolitics.com/polls . NO other poll has Mccain up. Hes TOAST.
"Other polls" = FOX NEWS.
Folks, I am voting for Obama. But let's be a little bit careful here regarding these polls. They are suspect to begin with and can change in a heartbeat with one slip up. The Republicans have a lot of power -- how else can you explain why Bush was elected and more surprisingly re-elected. This election is far from over, and I predict it will be another Gore/Bush situation. God, I really hope not! The country right now just needs the hope for change, fail or succeed.
I agree, but have no doubt, Bush was elected because of the fiasco (can you say rigged) in Florida, and because Gore ran a poor campaign. If the American voters allow this to occur again, America as we know it is history!!
Obama was only elected to the US Senate b/c he ran virtually unopposed. Same deal with state assembly, he was shoe in -no opposition. He wasn't even qualified for the US Senate. He has NO accomplishments, NO EXECUTIVE EXPERIENCE. Barry is a Harvard educated elitist-socialist parrot with a low IQ. You take away his tele-prompter and he is nothing more than babbling idiot. Obama is nothing more than a puppet.
Hey jexa,
Re: "Obama is nothing more than a puppet...."
I guess the 64,000 dollar question is this:
Will the ELECTORATE act as the puppeteer? What concerns me most about the electorate is the scary notion that they want to put BO in the W.H. for all the wrong reasons.
IMHO, I think that generally speaking, they feel that the Washington Elitist Crowd (Ultra-Libs/NeoConvicts) will have more control over Kid Fox (Sen. Green), than John McCain.
I think their biggest fear is that "THEY" won't be able to control The Maverick!
So BO it is! I sure hope I'm wrong!!!! May God Bless us all!
In recent years, we've spent forty cents out of every health
dollar on hospitalization. In effect, we've made the
hospital the first line of defence, instead of the last. By
contrast, we only spend three cents on disease prevention
and control, less than half a cent on health education,
and a quarter of a cent on environmental health.
One of the painful aspects of studying great catastrophes of the past is discovering how many times people were preoccupied with trivialities when they were teetering on the edge of doom. The demographics of the presidency are far less important than the momentous weight of responsibility that office carries.
Just the power to nominate federal judges to trial courts and appellate courts across the country, including the Supreme Court, can have an enormous impact for decades to come. There is no point feeling outraged by things done by federal judges, if you vote on the basis of emotion for those who appoint them.
Barack Obama has already indicated that he wants judges who make social policy instead of just applying the law. He has already tried to stop young violent criminals from being tried as adults.
Although Senator Obama has presented himself as the candidate of new things, using the mantra of 'change' endlessly, the cold fact is that virtually everything he says about domestic policy is straight out of the 1960s and virtually everything he says about foreign policy is straight out of the 1930s.
Protecting criminals, attacking business, increasing government spending, promoting a sense of envy and grievance, raising taxes on people who are productive and subsidizing those who are not; all this is a re-run of the 1960s.
We paid a terrible price for such 1960s notions in the years that followed, in the form of soaring crime rates, double-digit inflation and double-digit unemployment. During the 1960s, ghettoes across the countries were ravaged by riots from which many have not fully recovered to this day.
The violence and destruction were concentrated not where there was the greatest poverty or injustice but where there were the most liberal politicians, promoting grievances and hamstringing the police.
Internationally, the approach that Senator Obama proposes, including the media magic of meetings between heads of state, was tried during the 1930s. That approach, in the name of peace, is what led to the most catastrophic war in human history.
Everything seems new to those too young to remember the old and too ignorant of history to have heard about it.

Why are people looking to Obama. It is simple: McCain = Bush all over Again.
And we would rather have Jimmy Carter, don't think so
Gallup Daily: Obama 46%, McCain 44% and other major polls show similar spreads. Newsweek is a propaganda machine that cannot be trusted
Trying to convince yourself? It is only going to get worse with every McCain blunder, and act of desperation! No more Bush-Chaney-Rumfield-Rove. No more Cronyism!!!
Good for you, Rick43, Obama just might employ some Repubs in his cabinet too. Bush and Mccain just aren't it. Ron Paul is good for the GOP, which is probably why he raised so much money online like Obama. Too bad he's suspending his campaign. HE would have made the race interesting against Obama.
Ron Paul is extremely conservative which is why he didn't catch on with the moderates. Obama is never going to have republicans in his cabinet. He's too loyal to the Democratic party. I could see McCain chosing some independents, and possibly a democrats. He's more known for crossing party lines to do what's right, and not just blindly follow the party on everything like Obama.
Shows how much homework the right wingers are doing right now. Senator Hagel might be the VP, you idiot. He's a (R).
"Obama won't have any republicans in his cabinet" What a moron!
Just because some people in the media speculate about it doesn't mean it will happen. They said the same thing about Kerry picking McCain as VP in 2004.
Dude (or dudette) - Obama is already talking to some Republicans to be in his Administration should he win. It's been covered in the liberal and conservative press in the past few days. He's truly trying to reach across the isle and there is a lot of speculation about his plans - with HOPE that we can all join hands and sing Kumbaya before the country falls off the edge into a giant economic crevasse.
Ya thats right, Mccain isn't Blindly following Bush's fiasco in Iraq.
BUT OF COURSE! ANOTHER MISREPRESENTATION BY A LEFT-WING MAGAZINE. WHAT DOES OBAMA HAVE TO OFFER BESIDES A GREAT SMILE AND GOOD B.S.? WHAT'S HIS RECORD...WHAT'S HIS REAL FOREIGN POLICY? PEOPLE...GET A GRIP...HE'S THE RUINATION OF AMERICA...VOTE MCCAIN...PULLEASE.
Great reasoning!
I will vote for Obama!
Why?
McCain't is the promise of Mediocrity in Perpetuity... same as Bushes... Profit for the rich is all they bother to run for office to achieve -t hey do not care about anything else, trust me.
