Barack Obama,  John McCain

Gallup Poll: Is the Presidential Race Tightening Again?

gallup poll oct 15

The answer is perhaps when you look at the next poll graphic:

If McCain makes a good showing in tonight’s debate, he might have a chance of beating Obama. Of course, Obama will look for a knockout blow. But, a three point lead is not alot in a fluid race.

    polls are not very accurate.an example is foxnews , who polls always nearly favour republcians because most republicians watch foxnews. follow the money and that will tell you who the people support.

    With the Dems’ propensity to grab defeat from the jaws of victory, could it be beginning to happen …again? Looks like it’s a habit that’s hard to break!

    To all you puffed-up Dems., the fat lady ain’t singing yet…we haven’t heard any arias!
    Heck, do I see the polls tightening…yet again?

    I’m not even a registered Rep. and I’m gonna be dragging every pal, relative and next door neighbor to the polls. Let’s see if your “huge organization of Obama election fraud ground-staff can come close to matching the unstoppable force when EVERY Rep. does that, which they surely would, considering the anger you Dems. and your beloved lib. media have aroused!

    When push comes to shove, the sheer thought that this country could be run by an extreme leftist Prez., and both the House and Senate will send shudders down every independent spine when they’re standing before the ballot box!

    Consider this report:

    James Pethokoukis
    U.S. News and World Report
    October 16, 2008

    “A while back I chatted with a University of Chicago professor who was a frequent lunch companion of Obama’s. This professor said that Obama was as close to a full-out Marxist as anyone who has ever run for president of the United States.”

    Obama himself told Joe the Pumbler that he intends to “spread the wealth around”. That’s as Marxist as it gets! Scary!!!

    All this is coming down to is for Americans and Joe the Plumbers to decide whether to vote the “Talker” Obama or the “Doer” McCain. It’s easy to talk the talk, but can the Big O walk the walk?

  • Frank L

    This Powell endorsement is the poisoned chalice, the beginning of the end of the Big O.

    Despite his clever justifications,everyone can see that the overriding factor is RACE!~!

    The backlash on Nov. 4th will shock the 96% of African Americans who are backing the Big O for the same reasons. The racial polarization and the socialist leanings that they have embraced will backfire big-time for the Big O!

  • Frank L

    Here are 12 reasons why the Big O will lose come Nov. 4th:

    1 – He is outside the mainstream group think.

    a. Americans, as a rule, do not subscribe to the gospel of the extreme left OR the extreme right.

    b. Most Americans remain centrists and are jealously protective of their guaranteed inalienable rights.

    2 – He is THE most liberal (and disingenuous) Senator in the country.

    3 – Unanswered questions and deep doubt.

    a. Occidental College records—Not released?

    b. Columbia College records—Not released?

    c. Columbia Thesis paper—Not available?

    d. Harvard College records—Not released?

    e. Selective Service Registration—Not released?

    f. Medical records—Not released?

    g. Illinois State Senate schedule—Not available?

    h. Illinois State Senate records—Not available?

    i. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate—Not released?

    j. Record of baptism—Not available?

    4 – His “spreading the wealth” Marxist leanings – The mysterious “Frank” cited as a friend and adviser by Obama while he was growing up in Hawaii has been identified as Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the old Moscow-controlled Communist Party USA..

    5 – His waffle on direct talks with real and perceived enemies.

    6 – A growing concern (even among his supporters) that he will say whatever is necessary but cannot be trusted to do what he says.

    7 – His links to unsavory anti-American characters from his formative years from Frank M. Davies to Ayers, to Rev. Wright to Father Phleger et al. all of whom would inevitably have shaped his thinking

    8 – The possibility of a total Dem. control of all three limbs of govt. from the Presidency to Congress to the Judiciary violates the Doctrine of Separation of Powers and scares the hell out of voters.

    9 – The possibility of Obama being a shady “Manchurian Candidate” working for anti-American causes considering the dubious nature and sources of his campaign funds.

    10- Powell’s endorsement and the racial polarization of 96% of African American support for the Big O operating as a poisoned chalice that will unleash a spectacular backlash on Nov.4th.

    11- The lib.media bias have got so many Reps. all riled up that, like me, they’d be dragging every pal, relative and next door neighbor to the polls come Nov. 4th

    12- The seemingly habitual trait of the Democratic Party to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory on election day!

    On Nov. 6th I’d be throwing a party to toast the end of the biggest threat to American sovereignty since 9/11! All of you’re most welcomed to join in!

    @2 &3 utter rubbish. what you should really be scared about is mccain and corporate america. if mccain win then america has a very good chance of being governed by the corporate sector.
    powells endorsement is not about race its about the policies obama supports.all you right wing republican just can’t accept obama has sensible FAIR policies which will win him the election[in a landslide].
    obama is not a socialist but he can see that the US has dangerously moved to far right . just look at what has happen to america since reagan -‘an urban bubble of frentic speculation and dubious accounting fueling superprofits and frantic consumerism, ringed by the ghostly factories and rotting infrastructure of a development past; a good portion of the population excluded from the economy altogether; out of control corruption and cronyism; decimation of nationally owned small and medium-sized business;a huge transfer of wealth from public to private hands, followed by a huge transfer of private debts into public hands’. friedman economics[reaganomics] has been a total failure and america needs to stop the pure free market approach reagan began and g w bush expanded which mccain will continue.thats why obama says mccain just doesn’t get it, which is true.

    i gotta like how desperate this guy Frank is, hes really trying to convince either himself or others that mccain can win. It wont happen and ppl who keep trying to portray obama as this radical mystery man it just looks ridiculous. Most of what your saying is just an accuse for your racist beliefs. The far right… what a joke. Must get most of your news from Fox News (Sean Hannity’s top 10 reasons not to vote for Obama, ROFLROFL yes he aired it on his show) The stench of desperation is so fowl right now
