New Gallup Poll: Convention lifts McCain over Obama (54%-44% among Likely Voters)

In the new poll, taken Friday through Sunday, McCain leads Obama by 54%-44% among those seen as most likely to vote. The survey of 1,022 adults, including 959 registered voters, has a margin of error of +/— 3 points for both samples.

McCain leads Democrat Barack Obama by 50%-46% among registered voters, the Republican’s biggest advantage since January and a turnaround from the USA TODAY poll taken just before the convention opened in St. Paul. Then, he lagged by 7 percentage points.

Yawning…….

I think there’s a CHANNNNNNGGGGGGGE coming!

Biden is an albatrose for the Big Zero.

Hey Barry,

How can you have change with him on the ticket? How can you make fun of an old opponent when you add an old man to try to cover up your weakness? You didnt have the nerve to hold your cards though your bluff.

What a fool. You were right you souldn’t have run after all.

Obama, his minions and deep pockets and supporters, including the thugs and thugettes in the very wrongly named MSM, must be apoplectic.

Couldn’t happen to a more deserving bunch.

But now’s the time for McCain-Palin and Republicans and conservatives to be hyper-vigilant.

Look for the Obama camp — him and all of his following — to now resort to anything to win. And anything means just that.

Hussein Obama will likely dump Biden and pick Hillary. However, Hillary says thanks but no thanks.

CKA in R S USA

You are so correct! I have called the Republican Party and many of us are taking a quick class to become poll watchers. I’m sure Barry and his Chicago thugs and ACORN crews have plans for all sorts of things. We all need to do what we can to make sure to work in any and all ways we can to make sure this election is fair and without fraud. Especially in the ’swing states’.

McCain said Thursday, “A change is coming.” Indeed there is a tsunami crashing over this nation, a tidal wave that draws its elemental power from left wing extremist egalitarian class warfare.

In spite of the public knowing it, the left wing will not admit to being socialist – or even Marxist to honor the father of their philosophy. They prefer to be called the audacious distortion: “progressive.”

Socialism is redistribution, the philosophy embodied by Obama. It has been called “shared poverty.” Coercing money or property from the successful and giving it to the unsuccessful is a scheme that is not only failed – it is wrong. Although sharing is a good thing, when it is coerced, it is nothing less than larceny imposed by tyranny, a world allegorized by Orwell’s Animal Farm.

Taking what does not belong to you is stealing. Your mother taught you that it is wrong; it defames both the giver and the receiver. And it must be rejected for what it is, theft of private property. But this is the essence of the Marxist philosophy of Ayers, Obama and Clinton. Socialism is an old idea that fit into the Industrial Age but has failed miserably wherever it has been imposed simply because it destroys incentive and inhibits innovation.

To many of us the charade has been obvious, but we have had no champion to stand against it. Now we do, and it is a she . . . Sarah. Americans will flock to vote for Governor Palin. She is the ultimate role model for children of either gender, because she is no-nonsense. I will be thrilled to vote for her and watch that so-called “glass ceiling” shatter. She fights with the most formidable forked weapon – truth and light.

Liberals have seized on every difficulty to discredit our leaders and blame America first. Divisive and arrogant, they believe they have shouted us down. They think we have given up; it is over. But we will not surrender to their bully tactics. Indeed, change is long overdue. McCain / Palin will bring reform that will mark the end of special interests with great power and public mandate. There will be a tsunami of change that will overwhelm and crush the Democrats because their leadership has defaulted to the extremists of their party.

Barak Hussiem Obama has to call in his big guns now!! Hello, Hello is Hamas answering? How about Chavez or Kim Jong or his thug friends aka Mafia from Chicago, Tony Rezco are you answering??? Maybe he should just pay off CNN a little more from his Islamic slush fund and twist the liberal reporting even more.

YES!!! they now have to be very very careful—I already thought that they should seriously consider leaving Palin to campaign with mccain–NOW it is a must–the crowds want to see her AND who better to apprentice with than the master—60 days on the road together is the ideal for for to get to mccain his positions etc–she pulled off a brilliant convention speech–but she worked long and hard on it–the usual formula for success and the best way to build up confidence –and I think her best preparation for her debate is to stay with mccain

We need to watch the VOTING MACHINES. Obama’s legions of techno-boys are going to try to hack them. I have no doubt of that:

1) They are good at coercing mild-mannered poll workers (which would get them access to the machines). They proved in the Democrat caucuses that they can be very coercive and sneaky, and will also lie about voting rules, steal and modify voter lists, etc.

2) Obama supporters are high tech youth who have already shown they can bring down opponents’ web sites.

3) There is/was a movement to study and understand voting machine hacking, which rose up after the 2004 election (where Ohio results looked suspicious). Those same people who were so concerned included — I’ll wager — a good number of people who are now Obama supporters. A major one was based in the Pacific Northwest.

4) With an election close upon us, where is all the media attention that we used to see about the vulnerability of voting machines? Silence has fallen around this issue, and I find that suspicous.

BEWARE!

The choice between a real American and a Communist? The real American hero everytime. Higher taxes and praying to mecca is unamerican. Lets wise up america and smell the stench from the Chicago machine, and the commie hollywood activist.
John McCain has earned the Presidentcy keep coming after Sarah Palin You leftist don’t have a clue. Middle America elects Presidents.

Yeah, but…

Barrack Hussein Obama still leads by a large margin among UN-likely voters! (insert chuckle here)

I tried to subscribe to this page but wasn’t able. Will save to favorites and come back later. I post on a message board on AOL and I can’t believe all the garbage that is being posted against Palin there. After checking out several debunking sites I feel confident that that is all it is is garbage and most of it wouldn’t matter if it were true anyway. It’s all vicious though and ridiculous. I was so impressed with Sarah and didn’t know what to expect seeing her the first time at the Convention. Very good Choice and I really think she and McCain will go all the way. LETS HOPE!

Look for the Obama camp — him and all of his following — to now resort to anything to win. And anything means just that.

yeh, sort of like swift boating a war veteran, kerry, all the while bush was an AWOL coward during viet nam. go figure.
oh yeh, i can hardly wait to see palin address the united nations, the members will be keenly interested on her thoughts about global warming, the iraq invasion and the devaluation of the american dollar vs. the yen and euro.
