Revolution #9
This a.m. Quinnipiac Univ. released its first nat'l survey in two months. The poll, taken 7/8-13 among 1,725 LVs, shows Barack Obama leading John McCain 50-41%. Obama led the previous Quinnipiac survey, taken 5/8-12 among 1,745 RVs, 47-40%. The polls have margins error +/- 2.4% (July) and +/- 2.3% (May).
Obama now leads by 93% among blacks, up from his 83% lead in the previous poll; McCain meanwhile maintains his 7% lead among whites. Even more interesting, however, is the breakdown of voting by age.
Obama, as expected, holds a substantial (63-31%) lead among voters 34 and under; he also holds a slight 48-44% edge among voters 35-54 years old. But McCain and Obama are virtually tied among voters 55 and over, with McCain holding a statistically insignificant 1% lead.

This is very good news indeed. Looks like the "bump" after the end of the primaries continues.
Makes you wonder about that ABC poll.

ABC news, that says it all.
ABC want's America to be divided, 50/50 right down the middle.
I keep telling everyone that a significantly high number of Republicans are going to stay home rather than vote for John McCain who is nothing more than a default plurality nominee. And Democrats are going to vote for Obama in record numbers. Polling numbers will only get worse for McCain because he will keep making himself look like a cluesless old man too lazy or too senile to actually take the time or learn what he's talking about. He know's next to nothing about economics, science or the religions and politics of the Middle East and he keeps calling the Czech Republic and Slovakia Czechoslovakia despite the fact he's been repeatedly told that Czechoslovakia hasn't existed since 1992. How many times do you have to tell him that a country no longer exists before he makes the effort to learn the names of the countries that Czechoslovakia spilt into? Hell, McCain probably still thinks there's a North and South Vietnam, and I bet he can't name the countries Yugoslavia split into either. McCain is intellectually and or mentally lazy and he can't be bothered with learning and or remembering the facts, which makes him too ignorant to know when his advisors are misleading him or telling him the truth. Doesn't that sound dangerously too familiar?
>>>he keeps calling the Czech Republic and Slovakia Czechoslovakia despite the fact he's been repeatedly told that Czechoslovakia hasn't existed since 1992
Yes.
He's actually met the Prime Ministers of BOTH countries.
Unacceptable.
The Rove influence on the McCain campaign seems to be backfiring; even the WH has begun injecting itself in the Obama attack strategy. It also appears McCain is becoming more transparent to the voters despite the media's "felt glove" treatment. Well deserved!
McCain wins the presidency. A few months later it is 3 A.M. McCain pulls the switch sending hundreds of nuclear missiles to Russian thinking he turned on the bathroom light switch.
Excellent news.
The polling gets even more interesting when you start looking at the polls in various states. There you see states that in the past had been very staunch Republican strongholds where Obama is ahead or behind by a couple percent. Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Mississippi are all within the margin of error.
No wonder McCain can't remember that there is no more Czechoslovakia. It probably doesn't help that his chief economic adviser just told the country that they are a bunch of whiners and that his wife can't get around Arizona without a private jet.
