I guess that is not across all polls now is it? Hmmm... What happened to everyone saying this? I only see 2 that are double digit. The rest are inline with a 3% to 6% difference - probably well within the margin of error, and since repubs are typically the ones you see with no comment, figure it out.

Obama is just a toy for Omphra Winpray. :p

He'll lead us down a road that will go nowhere but to diaster.

McCain will probably use Condeleesa Rice as his trump card as VP and get the black and the women vote.

As is your habit, You didn't read ALL the article.

At near the end of the article about the 3 women he could choose for running mates , " It's to early for anyone to commit as is usual practice."

At this early stage McCain is courting many canidates for VP.

But HE knows and SHE knows and the PARTY knows Rice will get him in the WhiteHouse.

Making a Bush admin player and former Chevron exec his VP will not play well with anyone, and would be a mistake.

And IMO, Rice topped out as President of Stanford. She is way out of her league.

First off you didn't post an article, so no I didn't read what you didn't post.

Second I don't care what someone else wrote about his chances with her as veep. SHE has said she WILL NOT run. Anything else is useless speculation.

Anyway, look at the poll in the who will be the next president thread. Hillary had everyone beat. :hmm:

In your little world maybe.

Did you see where Israel said they will just go ahead and attack Iran's nuclear power plants if Obama wins in November? Not only did they say they would attack ... they even said when they would attack.

Before Obama could take office.

I'll go find it for you if you don't believe ...

Over 100 odd and more polls across the country give Obama a lead off average 6 to 10% over McCain. I think 3 or 4 in that total give McCain a lead. LA Times, Gallup Rasmussen, Newsweek, USA Today AND even Fox News put Obama out in front. And remember, he is playing catchup to McCain. Refer my original post, once he is up and running McCain is going to have a fight on his hands that will make the headache that Hillary experienced a raving migraine.

Let's face it, this part of the campaign is just a formality. Obama will be in the White House. One part of me says let the man roll on in and take the reigns and the other part is apprehensive with his lack of experience. Either way, I think Obama is in for a rude awakening.

Polls are just a data source. They are not intrinsically right or wrong. There are many variables in interpreting poll results and there are many biases (some intentional, many unintentional.

I would point out that these are June polls and have historically been not that accurate.

November is a long time away, we can't get excited/upset over every single poll over the next four months.

The polls typically show the democrat nominee ahead (Bush was behind in the polls during the past two elections and still won). The electoral votes are what counts anyway. Dukakis was 15 points ahead in the polls while he lost big time to Reagan. Take what you may, but pollsters typically poll in democrat areas. They have access to voter registration information and utilize it to skew results.
