Have Republicans seen Obama's 8 point Gallup poll bouce?

Question

I don't believe in polls. The one that matters is the one on November 4th.

However, I have read no less then 10 Republican answers today alone that say Obama is sinking.

Are the Republicans on Y/A uninformed or misleading others on purpose?

Tuesday McCain was up by 2. Now, Obama is up by 6.

Answer 1

Wait till the debates.  

Answer 2

Osama has less than half as many votes as Mccain out of over 100,000 people polled. I'd say that about sums it up in all the real polls.

Answer 3

Sure... the LEMMINGS forgot that BIDEN, BILL, AND HILLARY are ALL on record stating that Obama is not ready and not strong.

Suddenly, Obama became qualified overnight?  

The bounce is expected during the convention, and when the RNC convention is held, McCain will bounce.

At some point, people will actually have to LISTEN to what is being said and not the EMPTY accusations like we heard all week.

HOW can any INTELLIGENT person take Biden or the Clintons seriously after all the CLEAR anti-obama statements they made for MONTHS?

Answer 4

Yes I have its 2 factors Obama polls bette towards the end of the week for some reason and when you get as much coverage from the media as their getting what do you expect....don't worry after the convention is over he'll go back down again....

Answer 5

standard convention bounce

get back to me after next week and all obama's celebrity

buddies have gone back to beverly hills

after it becomes known that you aint gonna be seeing much

of Bill or Hill on the campaign trail

and after all the connect the dots between Mr weak resume

and Martin Luther King have desipated

then ask me about bounce

see how King Obama the affirmative one is doing then  

Answer 6

I expected his numbers to go up this week, being the DNC and all.  They're getting all the press.  And next week, I suspect something similar to happen for McCain.

Not sure why this is shocking to people...

Answer 7

Sure.  Also saw the Rasmussen Reports poll that shows a tie.

"The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows hints of a modest convention bounce building for Barack Obama. The Democrat gained a point from yesterday and now attracts 45% of the vote nationwide while John McCain earns 44%. When "leaners" are included, it’s Obama 47% and McCain 47%"

Answer 8

They are polling outside of Mile High Stadium.  What do you expect.

Answer 9

Any "bounce" Obama may get during the convention doesn't matter a bit.  His numbers will plummet as soon as he has to meet McCain in a debate.  I'm sure he dreads the moment, when his glib, scripted answers will do him no good and he will be put to the test against a truly knowledgeable and experienced opponant.  McCain will win by a record setting landslide in November and there's nothing Barry can do to stop it.  He's still young enough to try in eight or twelve years, once he's grown up a bit and learned a thing or two about the real world.  "Change" and "hope" just don't cut it.  He's lost his "Brittney" and "Paris" style of momentum and must be distressed looking at the expressions on the faces of the people at the convention.  They're bored and many are planning on supporting McCain.
