WOW...McCain is down 6 points in the polls ?

Question

does this have anything to do with the Palin scandals ?

Answer 1

More with his poor  judgements.. again and again and again..

Answer 2

Has nothing to do with the Palin Scandals..There's not any, Just Media Hype trying to make one Up:

After every Convention the  nominee always gets a swing in the Polls, but if you notice something about the Democratic convention and Polls is that the Republic Camp kept the medias attention focused on them with Who Would be McCain's VP pick and McCain in there Focus, So the Points or what the Media causes the Bounces what not as Big as it was being projected? is was actually smaller than any other presidential nominee.

Try 8 points now, first time a candidate hit the magic 50%

Answer 4

Polls polls and more polls why all the hype about polls? Republicans traditionally are behind in the polls until voting day. Thats when the silent majority weighs in the independents the undecided and the religious right.   And thats when Democrats get kicked to the curb again happens everytime and it will happen this time too! Cya Nov 5th and we will see just how meaningful polls are.

Answer 5

idk maybe.

Answer 6

Palin was a bad choice and the people of this country are not willing to tolerate such scandal, particularly after the aftermath of the Bush/Chenny Administration. Its asking too much for the citizens of America to bare.  

Answer 7

His HUGE bump after the convention.  Should have been up by at least 15 by now.  LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!   Too funny.

That really means that he'll probably lose by about 40 percent.

Answer 8

Actually that's low considering the huge show Obama tried to put up during their convention. Only gaining 6 points is a bad sign for Obama. Typically they gain more than that right after a big convention.

Answer 9

wow, if the election were today obama would win in a blow-out

he is up 6 in not just one poll, but up 6 in the polling average

Answer 10

How many times do we have to explain to you that polls mean nothing? They can be skewed any way the asker wants to get the results s/he wants and not everybody tells the truth in those polls as we saw 4 years ago with Kerry. The only poll that matters is the one on November 4th--and not the exit polls.

Answer 11

If you had read your own link, you would have noticed that the poll was completed before the announcement of Bristol Palin's pregnancy, so based on your own evidence, the answer is "no."

Here is what is says in the Bloomberg article:  "The American Research Group poll interviewed 1,200 likely voters Aug. 30-Sept. 1 and has a margin of error of 3 percentage points. "

The news broke only on the night of September 1, so it is unlikely that any poll respondents would be reacting to the news.

In other words, we have yet to see whether this news will have any impact on poll results.

Answer 12

No, these merely show Obama did not get the 15 point lead that was expected from the convention. The time line on the polls does not support what you say.

Answer 13

Lets hope he is.Hopefully Obama can pull it out and win this race.We dont want another george bush for the next 4 years.Lets not vote for John mcbush

OBAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 14

nope.not her scandal his decision.

Answer 15

People are beginning to reason what a nut he brought in as VP. She wants women to keep the pregnancy if you are raped by your father or a stranger then for nine months keep that horrible scar then go through the h**l of adoption. Does anyone know the ramifications of inbreeding? This is Palins want. She is marrying off her Underage daughter to keep her reputation. She lied about accomplishments and already has proven she has pulled her weight around to fire someone to appease her sisters divorce. Can you honestly see a woman like that running a country as VP with McCain? Her biggest accomplishment is being a hockey Mom and being able to properly pin up her beehive.

Answer 16

you never know

:)~

Answer 17

yes it is true

Answer 18

polls don't accurately portray what is going to happen in the election anyways.  Polls represent every man for himself, where the elections represent every state and the electoral college.  It doesn't mean much.

Answer 19

YYYEESSS!!! He hit the 50% mark!!!

Answer 20

Yes, it probably does.  But of course McCain backers will now say again that polls don't mean anything.  Except when their candidate is winning them of course.

Answer 21

Maybe the anchor weight known as palin does have something to do with it...

Answer 22

he was down before that.... don't you ever read the news?

Answer 23

Wasnt he just down by 8 points?

Seem like he made up some ground.
