1. Bye-bye McBounce
I wonder if McBush can hope to regain momentum at this point.

2. Yup.
And as the economic turmoil and resultant fear extend, so will Obama's numbers. Also, Palin's convention boost is done. Kos published some daily poll numbers on her and she is on quite the downward trajectory.

4. Isn't this the average of three days? Wait until the Wall Street meltdown is
fulling reflected in the polls.

8. Yes
This is the average of polling on Mon, Tues and Wed. I would expect it to rise some more in the next couple of days. Hopefully Obama will take a big lead into the first debate (next Friday) and will build on the lead from there and lock it up.

9. They are either deliberately malicious or disgraceful cowards
I'm having a hard time telling which.

10. Welp .... Guess That Means MSRNC Won't Be Touting The Gallup Poll For A While...
...seems they ignored Gallup until they showed McInane ahead. Then they couldn't go five minutes without mentioning it.

Watch ... the only two people on that channel who'll even acknowledge Gallup's existence will be Olbermann and Maddow.

11. Norah O'Donnell brought up Gallup today when talking about Obama's increasing numbers...
both nationally and at the state level, including surprising closeness in what are traditional red states that Bush carried by 8 or more points in 2000 and 2004.

15. Every major milestone from here on out will mean more gains for our side.
Especially the debates.

A massive landslide is important now not only to avoid a stolen election, but for the momentum going into 2009 and beyond. We need 80% support if we're going to fix this country, not just 51%. Anti-Americans like Limbaugh, Faux and the Neocons need to be completely neutralized.

be able to steal the election. I wonder if they can shit-can Palin before the debates so they look
a little better. I guess they would have to admit that they had made a mistake and we know
that isn't going to happen....

22. Stop teasing us...
I hate seeing Obama teeter near 49%. I keep figuring it's a toss up until Obama crosses 50% and I'm getting nervous.

23. He hit 50% around the time of the convention
and he'll probably be back there in the next day or so.

26. The more the voters know about Palin
the more they freak the flip out. Works for me.
