daily gallup polls shows Obama and Mcidiot tied at 44% each - is this true?
does anyone have any information on whether this is a real poll or some attempt by gallup to lie about the results by skewing respondents or something?

3. When 80% of the country believes that we are headed in the WRONG DIRECTION how can it even be close?
The 'polls' are BS. They Over sample real old people "Likely voters" ignore the young (They have cell phones and no land lines) and call on Faux CNN and The Rupert Street journal to channel them their universe.

8. Gallup always seem to lean right in its polls.
Look at this chart on polls. Their methods seem to be even more loaded than Fox.

9. This is just so hard to believe in light of what I'm seeing locally.
I just read an article in our local newspaper that Democrats are poised to outnumber Republicans in our county for the first time in history! Just last year there were 35,000 more Republicans than Democrats in San Bernardino County, CA. Now there are only about 1700 more and at the current rate of registration (which they actually expect to increase) Dems will surpass the Republicans this month! So what gives? Are we just an anomaly?
