[Lochloosa]

14. conducted by phone with live interviewers from Oct. 19-22?

[Botany]

16. It must have just updated because when I went to the link before ....

... it was giving a 9/16 date.

The #s look good!

3. FOX and Friends was focusing only on the AP poll that has the race even, nationally

They just can't accept the numbers in the other polls.

I don't take anything for granted, though, Kerry and Gore were both up in the polls prior to the elections.

[livelongandprosper]

19. No they were not.

Gore was down in most polls before election day. Everyone expected Bush to win the popular vote. The question was whether Nader would
get enough votes in swing states to make Bush the el. college winner too. Rove was shocked by Gore's 72-hour turnout operation. After the
election they spent millions to study it and then applied it in 2002 and 2004.

Kerry was not ahead, either. At best he was running within the margin of error. The last Gallup before election day showed a dead even race.

4. Polls do not count. People must VOTE.

[FUCK_BUSH]

20. YES SIR , I AGREE. The most accurate poll is NOV 4th poll. DONATE & VOTE

5. Ohio's #s look out of line.

7. 14pt lead among LV in OH?!?! whoa...

perhaps oversampling more Dems instead of Repubs this time?

[pointsoflight]

8. Not buying +14 in OH. There's no way.

That is WAY out of whack with other polls. Looks to be an outlier... let's see what other polls come up with.

9. here's another one from today

Ohio Obama 53% McCain 41%

10. More polls will be coming... we'll see.

Seems high for a state that's been much closer for many weeks.

[maddezmom]

11. polls are only a snapshot in time

I think we'll be seeing lot of movement back and forth in the last days.

[bluestateguy]

12. No way Obama leads by 14 cin Ohio

3 or 4 points tops.

[FUCK_BUSH]

21. You are right. Maybe by 2 or 3 .That's why i don't pay attention too much to polls.WE HAVE WORK TO

DO TO GET HIM ELECTED.

DONATE

VOLUNTEER

VOTE AND TAKE PEOPLE WITH YOU

15. maybe they are trying to make up complacent?

we are going to work even harder

17. Obama leads in key swing states

Source: Boston.com

Democrat Barack Obama holds sizable leads in the key swing states of Ohio and Pennsylvania, and is hanging on to a narrower edge in Florida, according to new polls released this morning.

They give the latest sign of Obama's surge during the economic crisis that could -- unless Republican John McCain mounts a significant comeback -- result in an electoral landslide on Nov. 4.

The Quinnipiac University poll of likely voters in Florida shows Obama leading 49 percent to 44 percent, a slightly smaller lead than the 8-percentage-point edge he had in the same survey last month.

In Ohio, the Quinnipiac poll gives Obama a 52 percent to 38 percent lead, up from 8 percentage points last month.

And in Pennsylvania, Obama leads 53 percent to 40 percent, a slightly smaller gap than the 15-percentage-point lead he held in the poll last month.

[livelongandprosper]

18. Strange. Mason-Dixon showed McCain leading by 1 in Ohio

Why are these polls all over the place?

I haven't seen anything like this in previous elections.
