P.S

please include ur sources

Answer 1

Last I heard which was yesterday Obama was ahead by like 8 or 9 % points?

Answer 2

There are a multitude of websites that would serve as goods sources, and I will post them in the sources. A brief summary of the polls: Obama has shown consistent leads in the national polls, small but steady. In the electoral college, Obama is far ahead of McCain. Obama looks certain to capture several Bush Red States, such as Iowa and New Mexico, and will most likely get at least several more. This is why Obama will probably win in the electoral college with a much greater margin than the popular vote.  

Answer 3

WHEN I WAS ON YAHOO YESTERDAY OBAMA WAS AHEAD BY 5 POINTS

Answer 4

Polls don't matter a whole lot.  Look at Ohio.  they have always picked the winner.  www.fownews.com  is a good place to start.

Answer 5

Answer 6

Don't use wikipedia, it's made up of user answers not legit. Go to cnn.com or msnbc.com and you will see the OBAMA is leading McCain... esp after that horrible speech.

Answer 7

These are the current polls.  http://www.realclearpolitics.com/polls/

As you can see, there is one tie and all the rest have Obama in the lead.  

And here is the latest electoral college poll:  http://www.electoral-vote.com/  Asyou can see, Obama is ahead there, too.

Answer 8

In most polls Obama has a slight lead

RCP Average 08/29 - 09/04 -- 47.2      43.4    Obama +3.8

Answer 9

According to Rasmussen Its Obama by about 3 points at this point, but almost all the polls they looked at had been done prior to Palin or McCains convention speeches. I see it tightening up alot more before November. I dont think either candidate is gonna get a landside regardless of who wins.

Answer 10

Obama

Answer 11

It really doesn't matter because these polls are inaccurate. They say they call over 1,000 people every day; well, what if you called 80% of Democrats, and 20% of Republicans? See, they aren't accurate. The only poll where we will know who is ahead is in November,

Answer 12

basically across the board right now they're tied.
