Why is Obama now losing in all major polls?

Question

He was up by 15 points. What happened???

Answer 1

do you really think obama is good? i think he sucks and hope mccain beats him!! if you disagree you should go vote for obama on this site..

Answer 2

He's not.  

Answer 3

Umm the only poll who put him 15 points up was time which is very liberal and skewed. His average never went above 7 points but lots of reasons facotr in. First the long fight between him and clinton as soured a lot of people too him. Second because he has been constant news media since last year people are plain getting sick of seeing him. Three his vp pick didn't help considering he is already considered very liberal and joe biden is too. fourth his wifes comments on being prouds along with numerous associations with unsavory people (tony reznek, rev wright) have hurt him. fifth his idea of a european supertour wasn't as well received as he thought it would be. and the last overall people are starting to realize he has very little expierience.

Answer 4

All the latest polls I have seen show him losing by about 5 points.

The reason is that now we are on to the general election, and done with the primaries, people are starting to listen to the message and the issues. Obama has really said nothing but vague ambiguities. He speaks of change, but doesn't say how. He has bad plans for the economy and doesn't support off shore drilling to relieve gas prices. He wants to leave Iraq based on a time line instead of conditions on the ground, which would be a waste of the last 5 years. Now that people are hearing his message, they are realizing what a Hoax and inexperienced person he truly is.  

Answer 5

2 things wrong here, he was never up by 15 pts nation wide.

And he's not losing in all major polls. The RCP average shows him ahead by a very slight margin, and the only poll taken post choosing Biden as VP shows them tied 47-47

Edit: what "latest" polls are you people looking at? The site considered most credible on this is http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/...

I'm not being partisan in my answer.

Answer 6

He's still ahead.

Find something true to write about.

Answer 7

The reverse is true because he is slightly ahead in most major polls.  However, the race has tightened substantially and it is virtually a dead heat.  See the link below.  

Most likely the tightening is due to the hiring of the Rove associates by the McCain campaign and their negative ads.  No surprise there.

Answer 8

Because people have finally realized what a mess he'll create and are voting for the better choice McCain.

McCain for president of 2008!!!

Answer 9

He's not.  If anything it's a statistical dead heat.  If McCain for instance is up 3% and the margin of error is 3-4% then it's a statistical dead heat.  Thus, a lead of of 3% is not a lead
