More polls show Obama building lead

PEOPLE WAKE UP..........GOD HELP US

Goodbye McSame!

Go man go! Go Barack Obama go!

Its now time for McC to implement his famous SURGE strategy. He knows better than BO how to win. He has much more experience. He is a better organizer. He has greater leadership skills. He alone knows the American people and what they want. He is the more intelligent candidate. He exudes inspiration and confidence. He has better judgment. These qualities better describe OB than McC

Good to see people are finally seeing straight. And recognizing what is in their own individual best interests. And in the interest of all Americans.

With the election of Obama, and the sweep of congress by the other Democrats, we can now expect to all follow the same liberal trail blazed by Massachusetts, with its resulting financial burden.
Oh well, with the tax cuts promised to me, and the lowered medical costs promised to me by Obama, somebody else will be paying the pricetag, not me.

Where are these idiots polling. I live in Florida and many of my friends from all areas are NOT voting for Obama. donna

What will be selling newspapers when they don't have George Bush to hammer anymore?

Isn't it time for Failin' Palin to ratchet up her lie machine? She's McDud's best hope to distract the masses away from the truth. For those of us who support and work for the election of Obama . . . don't get smug . . . keep the pedal to the metal and crank out the votes . . . NEVER forget what the Republicants are capable of . . . shredding the vote count on election day.

The Independent vote is bouncing around like a ping pong ball...CHECK THE SAMPLE: only 28% Republican respondents..If the pollster identifies him/herself as CBS/NY Times, most Republicans will hang up the phone..don't cash in your chips kids..or better yet..get complacent, stay home, its a wrap..Obama wins in a landslide..like Carter, Duke, Kerry..Did the sample include Mary Poppins, Dick Tracy, Mickey Mouse and the infamous upstanding citizen Jive Turkey? What's the Acorn sample?

Well put Larry M. Mediocrity has won we can all sit back, relax and have government take care of us! What did Mr. Obama say recently - Share the Wealth? Sounds like socialism is on its way…

Donna Gru: These "idiots" are polling in America. You conservatives make a big point of making fun of "liberal elitists" when it serves your purposes: painting your opponents as out of touch with everyday Americans. Well, today, you're the one who's hiding in your ivory tower, pretending that America is wrong and you're right. Wake up. It's a new day.

We the people voted in a new Congress - how is that working for us? Obama will get very little done and what he gets done may really hurt us. One never really knows until years later how the president performed. If he wins (I am not voting for him) I will support him. Unlike many Bush haters!

FYI Donna: a poll generally samples more than a dozen people. "All your friends" aren't exactly a valid sample all on their own.

i too live in Florida and many people are voting for Obama and aren't like Donna who are looking for McSame!

"What will be selling newspapers when they don't have George Bush to hammer anymore?"

The cleanup!
Not even Obama will be able to quickly fix all the problems that Bush & co. have created for us in foreign relations, the economy, and health care (to name a few areas). We can only hope that the next president will help to keep us from falling and inspire Congress to pass legislation promoting a focus on new technology and better education, as a long-term solution to our troubled state.

I think some of you need to spend some time alone in the bathroom with this article.

A New York Tmes/CBS News poll? While asking the questions did they also ask the participants for campaign contributions? The media will do anything to help Barack win in November.

my family and I are all praying that there will not be a national emergency before the election. a terrorist attack on our soil, an attack on Iran. I put nothing past the Republicans to try to stay in power.

The only hope I have is that they will know that noone will be able to get us out of the hellhole that Cheney/Bush have put us in and that they'd be better off letting Obama try to fix it then them.

God help us.

Thank God. Hey, Larry M. have you thought of thanking Bush for the mess in this state? Bye bye McSahme.

Fear of a Black President has never been higher.

But apparently not high enough.

Ha ha.

God help us...we were heading surely into becoming an empire, and then these Democrats come along and try turn the ship right around back to republic.

How will we ever turn back?

I personally am not impressed with either Obama or McCain, however, if Obama does in fact win, he should personally thank George W. (worst) Bush for his victory, as "Dubya" has been the biggest disappointment of any president in my lifetime.

With each hate-drenched pundit, with each gross prevarication, and, each time the stench of seared consciences taints the air I breath, my trust, in what I perceive to be truth, is validated.
And yet, with each pronouncement of coming change, there is flash of a visceral fear.
Moving real fast into being sixty, I'm learning that, "FEAR", is a renegade, and it's trying to steal my passionate joy at living in this beautiful country.
I figure, it's time to make a stand.
I'm voting for Mr. Barack H. Obama.

Don't talk about a landslide. Ain't gonna happen. Every Dem needs to get out and vote. Then maybe we can get by.

TO ALL REPUGBLICANS:

The same questions and doubts presented during this Presidential Election are 8 years too late. You had 2000 and 2004 to ask the same questions you're incorrectly presenting to Senator Obama. Associations to terrorists? Ask Bush about his associations with the dad of the assasin called Bin Laden. More associations? That's how S-L-O-W your brains work.

Don't forget Diebold is STILL in charge of electronic voting machines, despite having extreme vulnerabilities that an adolescent hacker could manipulate. Republicans have plenty of tricks left up their sleeves. While Democrats have faith in the American people, Republicans have no faith whatsoever... let's get ready for legal battles... how patriotic that will become.

America is headed Socialist anyway. I for one would never vote for Mr. B.O. anyway but the way it looks, we are getting a can of green beans no matter which brand we pick.

Most folks voting for B.O. are just in it because it's the 'cool' thing to do. Most will wish they hadn't when it's all said and done.

Remember, Bush won by a record number of votes (most in history) at the 2nd election. Where are those people now? Oh, they may not admit they voted for him but they did.

McPulsive is the most dangerous when his back is against the wall. Watch out from now until Nov. 4. No telling what he'll come up with tomorrow night or thereafter...

play all the polls you wish. White people will not tell you what they really feel. Once those who say they are for Obama enter the voting booth, all of the polls are meaningless.

Why is that millions of americans are still supporting mccain...even after 8 years of failure. This only shows that racism and peoples stupidity are not easy to erase.

Finally on Nov 4th we will see the end of another chapter in the segregation and racism in America. The election of Obama is a watershed moment in the history of the world...because every man of color , every immigrant will be able to dream and aspire for the highest position in this supposedly land of the free.

Martin Luther King had a dream and it took forty years for that dream to turn into reality. Hope this guy will steer the country in a new direction. It is ridiculous to say that Obama is close to terrorists. He is respected by millions of people.

Yeah. Obama is going to destroy the US. George Soros and Warren Buffet really want to tank and socialize the markets and economy. Psst! Berkshire Hathaway holders are secretly militant muslim socialists. You people are insane.
Bushie was put in power to open the coffers and he did (with Cheney making sure of it) and these myopic republican boneheads are still running around with their seats on fire saying Obama is going to give away all the money. WHAT MONEY? Bush lost it all and the deficit clock has run out of numbers. Go fly an angry kite for the next four years folks, we're here to clean up the mess and dead bodies of the past 8 years. You've done enough damage.

Where are these idiots polling. I live in Florida and many of my friends from all areas are NOT voting for Obama. donna

Donna, that would be called the "reverse Bradley" effect. If you don't know what that means, its about people saying they are voting for McCain, when in fact, they are voting Obama. The reason they say McCain, is they don't want to go through what William Buckley Jr. just went through. Indeed, his odyssey and ostracization is just beginning.

ACORN, ACORN, ACORN!
This election is already tainted. Is the Globe going to run an expose on ACORN and Obama's association with that? 100's of thousands of registrations are called into question mostly in the inner city.
Seems Obama has lots of associations with all types of despicable people and groups. Why is that? Will the Globe ask these questions?
McCain in a convincing win - don't be fooled by SOME polls.
Who in their right mind would vote for Obama to be president?

The comments on the articles and op/eds on this website are ten times more entertaining than anything on t.v.

Donna, the "idiots" who are polling conclude that ~40% of America supports McCain. My rough math suggests that more than accounts for you and your friends, unless you have in excess of 120 million friends.

McCain and Obama are both decent candiates for the job but the nod goes to Obama. He selected someone for a running mate that addressed concerns of the voter on foreign policy and defense. With Palin McCain opened them and raised concerns over his own judgment which simply undermined his own campaign. It was a fatal mistake.

Well Donna, I think we can say conclusively that they are not conducting a poll of your friends.

Wake-up America, its time for a new direction.

Pedro says of McCain: 'He is the more intelligent candidate. He exudes inspiration and confidence. He has better judgment." What planet are you living on? "More intelligent"; vs top-rated Harvard alum who most certainly knows that Iraq and Pakistan do not share a border: "Exudes inspiration and and confidence" - sure, when he blows his stack in meetings, and rushes about crazily in the bailout process, and.. but the list is too long - "Has better judgment" - hmm, voted for Bush's Iraq war when BO opposed it., how does that look in 2008?

Your comparisons are a precise description of Obama as the better choice.

To George Tower, comment #1: The people ARE waking up, and God IS helping us, even though we don't deserve it after electing Bush for the past 4 years (after his coup d'etat in 2000).

Larry M: Excuse me Larry, I'm a Republican (since 1971), and I've just lived through the biggest financial bloodbath in my lifetime, courtesy of the Bush administration. We just made a $700-Billion down payment on Republican sponsored legislation which repealed the regulatory restraints that would have prevented the current financial disaster. The national debt has more than doubled since George Bush took office 8 years ago. Our military has been decimated, so much so that they have recruited over 125,000 people with serious criminal records to fill in the gaps in our force levels. Do you feel safer now? Who was in power when we started running the sub-prime mortgage ponzi scheme?

When you do polls, you can't ask the same 8 people to vote 1000 times.
The result may be off a little. Most folks I know even in a democratic state of MA
are not voting Obama. These polls are done with bad intent by the Obama croanies.

Lets wait and see when the election is over and the real winner celebrate but as of today it's wishful thinking by the liberals.They manipulate us by spreading false poll results with the hope Americans will give up hope for Mccain/Palin and cast their vote for Obama/Biden.I can see a well manage and well controll economy under a Mccain/Palin Administration.

Obama will cause massive debt problems with his one trillion dollar national health care program, just look at Massachussetts, they are near financial collapse because of the state funded healthcare programs.

Many people I know support McCain...when I ask why, they spout all the hateful rhetoric that Sarah Palin has been feeding them...he's a buddy to terrorists, etc.

Don't get around Orlando much eh?

The I-4 corridor is all Obama in 2008!

America can't wait to view the following guests being introduced at the presidential winner's various inagural balls....The Rev. and Mrs. Jeremiah Wright, The Rev. Louis Farrakhan and Mrs. Farrakhan accompanied by Louis's entourage of "security" people, Mr. Bil Ayers, accompanied by his wife, Bernadette Dorn, (they've aged an awful lot, since their pictures appeared on post office walls) Mr. and Mrs. Tony Rezko, Mr. and Mrs. George Soros and Father Pflger providing the evening's invocation.

A lot of us are just sitting here praying -- and contributing to Obama's campaign -- in the hope that we can shed our beleaguered and divided country of eight years of Republican mismanagement.

We're about to avoid a terrible civil war... Imagine W junior in the Oval? Blood would run in the streets, and now the chance of fraud in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania, even NH, where Bush's own Sununu heads down tubes in a spiral, eh ben voila, no bloodletting. Too bad about Quebec, where the Bloc cannot stop this right-wing thing. Would that Ottawa and Ontario look southward, or one province eastward...

Larry M,
Do you actually believe that Republicans can continue to spend like they are and cut taxes (oh, that's right, the RICH get the tax breaks... I forgot) and not have the country go to Hell? Last I heard, the economy was a disaster and who has been at the helm the last 8 years??? I'd vote for Satan himself before I ever vote Republicrap. I guess you are wealthy so you might not get your tax break... must be nice. The rest of us middle class people have had enough, God Bless Obama and may all Republicans burn in Hell

Thank goodness! Keep up the good work, Obama ground-game crew! Don't become complacent! Do not doubt the desire and ability of the Republicans to try to steal this election, like they stole the last two! We can be justly proud of our candidates: Barack Obama and Joe Biden. Barack and Joe, keep on demonstrating your leadership and calmly lay out your plans for our future. People are listening to you as they have never listened before, and they like what you are saying. 19 days to change!

Larry M: What planet are you on ? Bush has run up the deficit. Clinton left a surplus. The Republican Party has no credibility whatsoever with regard to managing a budget.

Hopefullly Obama will prevail. The flimsiness of the Republican platform is evident by McCain's endless attacks, followed by selling his biography. His latest economic policy (cobbled by his aids) is silly, and it is obvious that he doesn't understand the policy himself. Like Palin, he clings to sticking it out in Iraq, all the while claiming that the Democrats are the ones spending money foolishly. You can't have it both ways... neither Obama nor McCain has all the answers. But at least Obama has the intelligence and intellectual honesty to address the questions.

I, for one, will be deeply delighted to have Obama/Biden win with an undeniable plurality to make the winner absolutely clear to every American, ally and enemy. No hanging chads, no court ruling, no polling place shenanigans. Just a clear, decisive victory, and then on to cleaning up the damage and mess left by W and his cronies. Bring on Election Day!

George, people are waking up.
And none too soon.
Thank God!

Hey donna,

Florida doesn't even know how to run an election (hanging chads), and the rest of the country is going for Obama, but you you folks in FLA just go ahead thinking it's everybody else that are idiots. FYI - there's more to the USA than FLA. You need broaden your horizons.

to Donna... Floridians dont know their left from their right. What they know is the seniors will need SS and a Strong 401k to keep them alive until they croak. And if you vote republican you will have neither in the future.

The political dam is about to break. There will be a flood of voters to the Democratic Party and its presumptive President Barrack Obama! Immediately after tonites debate the undecided will leave that status as their minds snap shut in support of Obama. Tonites contrast will be all that is wrong with Washington contrasted with all that is right with America. McCain vs Obama. The Republican big moneyed or evangelical homesteads will flood with no bail out in sight, no October surprise, no Palinific retort can save McCain or his base. McCain is now the man and republicans the political party that .....nobody can trust. ..... Trust!..... Heck gosh darn we here on the mainland just do not understand these complicated issues, bail out, 2 wars, job loss, gas more precious than Jim Beam. What we do know is how to look another human being in the eye listen to what they say and make an instinctive decision on whether we can trust the speaker. Trust. We do not trust John McCain with our future. Barrack Obama we trust. So fellow democrats and our new friends the no longer undecided, sit back and watch the debate tonite, That noise you will hear and feel is the rumble of deciding voters and the collapse of a once major political party. It will be the greatest show on Earth. I’ll bring the popcorn.
Terry Bankert

Let me see what can the Republicans do before election? Start another war in the mid east. That is what they can do.

WARNING!!!

All of you OBAMA/BIDEN Supporters with all of this time on your hands to debate, better get to work if you want to see Senator Obama/Senator Biden as President/VP 2008.

Get involved with the Obama/Biden Campaign in these last 20 days to make a difference!!!

You may want to go help out in one of those "battleground" states near you.

jvii

National Polls are not accurate. On election day we have 50 state elections - all reporting to a collective result. National polls are good if we had a national election.

Go Obama!
