yes, polling is all just a big sham...which is why the corporate world is so out of touch with spending billions of dollars utilizing organizations like Gallup for market analysis and research.

Look at all the polls major ones at least there all over the place.
yesterday they were at least toghter and about the same but today well the av is about 4% lead and il stick with the average. However people have to relise national polls dont realy matter as seen in Bush v Gore u need to get the electial collages go to www.270towin.com lets you play with the electrical collage map and see how states voted in the past, it looks like if Obama picks Virginas gov and takes the state and McCain picks Romny it comes all down to Ohio

As I have been saying since the beginning, I don't think polls mean squat until at least after the debates.

Obama has a far better shot at getting all the same states Kerry did than McCain does getting all the same states Bush did.

True electoral college is what counts, and it does look like a 1 state result again this year. Although it has been shown a VP will not necessairly sway his state, thus Romney will not win MA, Kaine might not win VA.

You might be right but people of MA LOVE romney family because of his father. and Kaine is very popular there i would say it would tilt the favor however McCain hates Romney so he might not pick him and Obama might not pick Kaine

we can never know the future to come

His presumptiouness - prancing around Europe pretending to be CIC?

His failure to visit the troops in germany?

His staged political rally on foreign soil?

His adamant and absolutely ridiculous position that he would STILL oppose the surge, forget about the success it has brought.

His adamant and absolutely ridiculous position that he will withdraw the troops, forget about what the generals say, the Iraqi military says, the Iraqi government says.
I guess it is time for him to pack up his mule and take the family back to their 40 acres and sign his 20 million book contract and start writing.

Question:

What happened to McCain's two point lead from a couple of days ago?

Does McCain hate Romney?

That must be some hate if he can't overcome it - he overcame it for Bushco after they insulted his own wife and daughter.
