Poll Position

Obama's true plan -60 percent tax bracket for upper-income Americans, abandoning all initiative and innovation. How: 40 percent tax bracket in income taxes, FICA taxes to all income, not just that under $100,000. 40 percent plus FICA???s 12.5 percent plus Medicare???s 2 percent plus state and local taxes averaging, after deduction, at 5 percent-6 percent=60 percent bracket.
·Obama would double capital gains tax increasing effective tax on everybody who owns stocks, double dividend tax on which most eldery live,
·Obama would provided r 12 million illegal immigrants with federally subsidized health insurance, dramatically raising costs and rationing healthcare, federal officials will decide if patients are worthy certain procedures. Also he would require Homeland Security operatives to notify terror suspects that they are under investigation within seven days of starting the investigation.
As on energy, since he is opposed to any offshore drilling and any nuclear energy (which fuels 80% of Europe), then Obama will supply truckers with solar energy.

STOP TELLING US HOW TO VOTE, IF IT WAS THE OTHER WAY AROUND YOU WOULD NOT HAVE THIS ARTICLE. I AM REALLY SEEING THE REAL AMERICAN WAY WITH THIS ELECTION. THE EYES OF THE WORLD ARE ON US (AMERICA) BOY ARE WE SHOWING THEM HOW THE WORLD LEADER (AMERICA) ACTS. PLAYING THE RACE CARD, NOT FACING THE FACTS-WE WANT CHANGE. BOY O BOY

Yep and Obamas lead will keep growing. What do you repugs expect after 8 years of Bush? Your party has been destroyed, and Obama is here to put the house back in order!

YES WE CAN

Real Republicans are voting for Bob Barr! An actual conservative who still has a mind.

I think that a lot of the ex Clinton supporters will not vote for McCain, they will vote for Nader. He's a heck of a lot better choice.

If you want an example of the liberal bias of this article and Newsweek in general, why is former Senator Trent Lott referred to sans his title? He served almost 20 years in the Senate, so certainly he has earned that distinction. Woudl the author refer to one-term John Edwards without calling him, "Sen."? I doubt it.

You forgot the biggest factor with the newsweek poll.The liberal press will always find a way to make the poll favor their own candidate. Or have you forgotten the Nicaragua-Ortega presidential poll?

Gee, and the media accuses the candidates of pandering? What a load of irrelevant propaganda. It's amazing how they keep reaching out to solidify the coronation of their beloved Obama, as though he were the next Messiah. They are so desperate to quiet people's legitimate concerns that they try to paint the picture that it's already a runaway race.

Interesting how Howard makes a weak attempt to appeal to your sense of objectivity by stating that early polls aren't very reliable, and then proceeds to spend the entire rest of the article trying to convince you that the Newsweek poll is more reliable than all the others. Give me a break.

Awww Howard, don't sweat it! The Republicans didn't denounce your poll numbers because they were inaccurate. They denounced your numbers because clearly, you misspelled the last name of the guy holding the double digit lead. For future, when there's a lead in the polls, Obama's last name is spelled: McCane. That's M-c-C-A-N-E. McCane! It's obvious, no matter how juvenile it sounds, any positive press you give the Republicans will be enough to WILL them back into the White House.

Its sad day for America if Americans still votes for the Candidates that persists of carry on meaningless expensive War,by borrowing money from other country just to stay in IRAQ,even at the expense of own people miseries at home with many uncertainty.This really makes me wonder, are these prejudice conservative white americans happy going to help and join forces with BIN LADEN to make it happened "America going burst and bankrupt."?

Come On ,I've been saying it for months,the Republicans don't have a snowballs chance in the underworld of winnig in November.
I think folks would vote for a Martian before they'd put another Republican in office for another 4 years.
Let's face it,McCain is going senile,he still thinks al queda was in Iraq when we invaded and probably still thinks there are WPD that haven't been found yet.

The newsweek poll actually favored McCain. I believe that Obama is leading by more than 15 points. McCain may lose his own state, people don't like him much in Arizona. It's not going to be close folks...
