Well, here’s an interesting Zogby poll:

Gallop uses registered voters and Rasmussen uses likely voters. Polling likely voters, as a rule has been more accurate. That said, Obama has only enjoyed a 4 point lead coming out of his convention, that’s not a big deal especially when all the cards are supposed to be in his/dems favor this cycle.

McCain only announced his VP pick yesterday, I think once the voters get a chance to see and hear Gov. Palin, his bounce will surpass Obama’s meager 4 pts.

The male, corporate-media oriented polls will do a similar hatchet job on Sarah Palin as they did on Hillary. What is it about these abusive men? Zogby, of Arab background, was the farthest out during the primary, meaning, liar. None of the rest of the polls gave very close estimates to the outcomes of the main primary states. SUSA sometimes came close. When it comes to women running for office, from right, left or center, pretense of truth goes out the window.

polls don’t matter to the average person, we could give a shit. most people look at issues and how things affect them, not what the polls say. like most things in politics, there is much money wasted. people hate negative attcks, they hate bringing spouses into it, they hate lies and innuendo. they want the trueth, not some varnished version of the trueth twisted to support the study of how long it takes a rat to run across the road while a kenworth is coming. the average american cares how things affect them and their families, not how rural immigrant farmers perceive a speech given 2 nights ago. do you think it matters to most if “group x” likes that obama hates ice cream, but “group z” thinks he should be hung for it?

luva,

‘if polls are just about useless,’ why do you think campaign managers use them–follow them daily– political decisions are based on the them, and there are campaign strategists, and media organizations that pay social scientists money to interpret them?

doug, as you know know polls are just about useless, it depends on the way questions are worded and if you poll in a larger liberal area and all. i read polls and usually disregard them. they always have the +/- thing and so unless there is a seperation of like 20 points it could be an either or kind of thing. but keep at it doug. i really don’t know why you come here to be punished by mata and mike and the rest. i may not be college educated, i may not be the best with words and spelling, but i deal with rell people everyday adn get first hand opinions fromt he people who will be doing the voting. doesn’t mena i know more or less than you, just that i see everyday people, the ones who helped to make this natin what it is today.

First Polls:

The first national polls on John McCain’s pick of Sarah Palin yesterday came out today from Rasmussen and Gallup — and contrary to what the GOP probably hoped, she scored less well with women than men.

Here’s a finding from Gallup: Among Democratic women — including those who may be disappointed that Hillary Clinton did not win the Democratic nomination — 9% say Palin makes them more likely to support McCain, 15% less likely.

From Rasmussen: Some 38% of men said they were more likely to vote for McCain now, but only 32% of women. By a narrow 41% to 35% margin, men said she was not ready to be president — but women soundly rejected her, 48% to 25%.

Only 9% of Obama supporters said they might be more likely to vote for McCain.

Overall, voters expressed a favorable impression of her by a 53/26 margin, but there was a severe gender gap on this: Men embraced her at 58% to 23%, while for women it was 48/30.

And by a 29/44 margin, men and women together, they do not believe that she is ready to be President.

I like the choice, but the word is that she is a creationist — what is the deal with that?

the leftie threads are having a hard time with the palin pick. they are pulling out all the stops frommsaying she faked her last pregnancy to spare her daughter from being seen as a teen mother to being nasty about her having 5 kids and one being disabled and how that will affect her job performance. i saw one poster else where call her a broodmare. isn’t that classy. she must have a set of big balls for the left to be so freakin scared.

When someone states that they teach philosophy in order to apply force to their arguments, you pretty much know they are blowhards. They are also immature and full of bad ideas.

“I teach philosophy” That explains a lot. Any particular branch of philosophy?

It amazes me that Doug can always look on the down side of everything. It’s been a while since I minored in philosophy, but I wonder if there is a name for that? Or do we just call people who think that way Democrats?

I read that long post, and I must say, that is the longest thing I think you’ve done. It’s SO long, and thoughtfully reseached, it simply requires a weekly update; don’t you think? I mean the drama continues right up to the doorstep of the election.
