One could argue that this poll is rally for the MSM to study, as they are the ones that seem to need convincing that maybe they are the ones that can’t see the reality of the situation. Or one could look at this as CNN trying very hard to get a positive result for Obama, by sampling “adults” rather than “registered voters”. Anyway one looks at this, it is not looking good for the One:
In a new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Sunday night, 47 percent of those questioned are backing Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominees, with an equal amount supporting his Republican opponent, McCain.
“This looks like a step backward for Obama, who had a 51 to 44 percent advantage last month,” said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. “Even last week, just before his choice of Joe Biden as his running mate became known, most polls tended to show Obama with a single-digit advantage over McCain.” :
Sixty-six percent of Clinton supporters ” registered Democrats who want Clinton as the nominee ” are now backing Obama. That’s down from 75 percent in the end of June. Twenty-seven percent of them now say they’ll support McCain, up from 16 percent in late June.
I see the reality of this situation:
Hi Mrs. Clinton,
Why are your supporters saying that Obama treated you bad by not calling and consulting with you about his VP pick, while you haven’t come out to say that that’s how you truly feel?
Have you realized that people are perpetuating this message and it is pushing ‘your supporters” away from accepting, believing and trusting in Obama?
Are you going to let everyone truly know how you really feel about how Obama ‘treated’ you during his VP pick at THE CONVENTION???
Are you going to tell us that you did feel badly treated so we/I can know from you that that’s the way you really feel and thus (to me) turn the focus on you and ‘your supporters” and not the whole country, the whole world and in fact worsen the divide between Hillary Clinton supporters, Obama supporters Democratic party supporters?
Or are you going to completely, whole heartedly, with true conviction dispel the notion that Obama and his camp treated you badly about the VP pick but instead did what they were supposed to and that you really don’t see what the fuss has been about and tell your supporters something like, “Hey I’m fine, me and Obama are cool, I kind of understand maybe why you guys would think was badly treated but no I don’t feel that way, I was treated with complete respect and I’m 100% in support of Biden. Outside of me, definitely Joe Biden (jokingly, but we get the message). But hey it wasn’t me that was picked and that was Obama’s decision and because I support him, because I don’t want the Bush McCain and the republics running this country for ANOTHER 4 YEARS!, because I support the working class, I support blah blah and blah:because of all this I respect Obama’s decision and I back it 100% because I want US in the white house!!!. And this title going out ‘Hillary Clinton supporters’:enough of that. I know all of you that support me, I know you’re a lot and I’m thankful for each and everyone of you but seriously we got an election to win against the republicans. Not Hillary Clinton supporters against the republicans, what??? Are we really trying to make it easier for them, now!!! Please. We are smarter than that. Its all of US behind Obama to take over the white house and get things changed. Yes change, everyone has something in there heart, their mind that they want to see different from these last 8 years of Bush-McCain governance (95%). If we really want this for ourselves, our kids, we all have to be supporters of Barack Obama and Joe Biden. There’s no other way, because not doing so, having Hillary supporters and not just supporters of Obama is almost like handing victory to McCain because we are handicapping our leader. The millions that voted for him in the primaries are part of this party, part of the millions that want change and no more Bush-McCain politics. We are one people, one movement one voice against McCain.â€
I could go on and on but I hope you get my drift. Mrs. Clinton you can single handedly change the course of this election to OUR favor, the American People by convincing ‘your supporters’ to keep your complimentary card in the front slots of their wallets because you’re not going anywhere but get their Obama hats, tees and signs out so we can back him and WIN THIS ELECTION!!!!!!!
Thank you
haha, yeah, that and all the money he’s spent and STILL he’s running neck and neck with McCain.
I see some of the ads here have changed as well. So glad.<:-p
i really hope obama beats mccain in the elections. we dont need another (mc)bush
THANK GOD FOR THE PRETTY MCCAIN AD ON RIGHTVOICES, AND UP UP AND AWAY FROM THAT NOT SO HOT OBAMA BUTTON AD. TALKING ABOUT NOT LOOKING SO HOT, THESE NEW ADS MAKE OBAMA LOOK COLD AS STONE. (HEARTLESS) OH BROTHER, this does it!
OBAMA/BROTHER AD, will be hot and it’s COOL against Obama. This ad is put out by women in Texas against Obama and for McCain. Biden will lose that hair transplant real quick. Never make a woman mad, hell hath no furry!!
“Watch out boys, she’s a man eater!!!”
The NEW ALL BLACK REPUBLICAN AD 2008 IS JUST AS HOT. BLACK REPUBLICANS AGAINST OBAMA. VERY GOOD AND IN GOOD TASTE.
Obama again doesn’t look so HOT, but HEARTLESS!
The weather is iffy as well as the speaker tonight. . . MO!
HUMMMMMMMM- God isn’t happy with these liberals and neither is anyone that has a heart for children and a heart for America. Ted Kennedy the ‘Ole Lush Liberal Lion’ won’t be able to roar much – tonight. His brain tumor he has had since birth, has about done him in. Guess this is Kennedy’s last hurrah! Well hurrah, which is a good thing. Kennedy has been on the bottle since birth! His baby formula was Absolute with a shot of Jack and ‘Coke’ for a chaser. Kennedy has been chasing women ever since, only problem he’s run out. Any little ole lady can out run him now. I’m sure Kennedy is for live abortions as well, after all he didn’t even go back to get a drowning young girl in his car, hoping to cover his crime. How cruel! What a nasty bunch – with Carter and Pelosi as the last straw that will break the Donkey’s back. So you are so-oo RIGHT – OBAMA DOES NOT LOOK HOT! NEVER DID! Can’t think of less liked people in one place. Well maybe one more.
They should have had Madonna sing the non American Anthem. White trash!

Let’s get this straight, former Brit Prime Minister Thatcher suffered from dementia from age 75 says her daughter, and now we want to elect a guy President of the US that will be 72 ?
Give me a break.
LONDON (Reuters) – Former British prime minister Margaret Thatcher — once known as one of the world’s most formidable political minds — has been suffering from dementia for the past seven years, according to her daughter, Carol.
Carol Thatcher tells in her memoirs of how her 82-year-old mother, nicknamed the “Iron Lady” for her tough reputation, often struggles to remember things and repeats questions
“This is much bigger than Hillary,” said Pam Durham, a Clinton delegate from Fort Worth, Texas. “I have a responsibility.” I agree with Ms. Durham, she’s absolutely right that this is much bigger than Hillary.
In 00 and 04, Bush stole elections through voter suppression, the “cleansing’ of voter lists, stuffing ballot boxes, a stacked Supreme Court’s highly questionable interference with the legal recounting of votes, and many other immoral, if not illegal tactics, that need to be outlawed.
This year, the male-dominated media and DNC went after Senator Clinton while covering an unvetted Obama in ways that would ensure his nomination. The media has completely abdicated its responsibility to investigate, report facts and present the truth, instead using its considerable influence to manipulate and affect the outcome of an election in what now passes for democracy in our country.
Over the weekend, Hillary Clinton was once again ignored and passed over for the VP slot and Joe Biden (whom I respect) was chosen.
This is still our country, not Obama’s, his handlers, the DNC’s or the media’s. Though the electoral process has been broken and usurped, we still remember how it’s supposed to work; we, the voters, choose Presidential nominees.
Those who speak up about this travesty are given minimal, patronizing coverage by the press and are disparaged as an insignificant, post-menopausal, lunatic contingent of 60+ women and sore working class voters ((you know, wink, wink, what 60+ women are like, clearly not a contingent we need to listen to…. and working class voters, well you know, they don’t really count anyway….).
The press covering the press…. and what they did in this election is….well, you know.
While we have much to fear from a McCain Presidency, our worst fears about ‘what might happen’ have already occurred: we, the people, have lost control of our country (special interests), our electoral system, our voting rights and our civil rights. After receiving the nomination, Obama, the candidate of change, voted not to go after the telephone companies for participating in Bush’s spying, Obama the candidate of change who was against drilling, now supports drilling in protected areas…etc. etc.).
Now, Obama says he supports women’s rights. I’ve learned to look at what people DO, rather than what they say. Just look at the way Obama, his ‘handlers’ and supporters have treated Senator Clinton and her 60+ women and working class voters. This, more than anything said, speaks volumes about how committed Obama & crew are to supporting women’s rights. What does it tell you?
Protests worked in the 60′s. People lost their lives, were beaten up, thrown in jail, etc., but eventually, it did make a difference.
What a joke. You people are falling into the trap set by the MSM. The MSM wants this race to seem as though it is close in order to provide viewers with an incentive to tune in to their broadcasts. However, make no mistake, this race is virtually over. Even assuming these polling numbers are accurate (and they are not), the White House is not won based upon popular vote (ask Nixon and Gore). It is won or lost based upon electoral votes, and the electoral map is one-sided in favor of Obama, with the trending moving towards a land-slide in his favor. Wake up!

What a surprise that the Obama/Biden candidacy isn’t bouncing in the pools. Democrats might fall into the trap of ‘How could McCain win? No one we know voted for him!’.
We dont ned obama in the whitehouse he would declare himself emporir and make us into a monarcy and change his name to PALPATINE8-x
