Answer 1

He isn't tied with McCain.  There have been scores upon scores of polls, and the one that you cite is the only one that doesn't have Obama ahead.  Your question reveals far more about YOUR prejudice than it does about the media.

For an HONEST look at the polls - which I don't think you're interested in - navigate to the polling-report-dot-com website.

In fact I just went to look at the website you referred everyone to, and my friend, you are a riotous joke!  Since July 4, Rasmussen has done 32 daily tracking polls (2 each day, one counting the "leaners" and one not counting them).  Obama is leading in THIRTY-ONE of the THIRTY-TWO polls!  And you're loudly braying that the two of them are tied!!  Are you a political analyst or a comedian?

Answer 2

You forget that McCain was the media's darling long before Barack came along. All of them piling onto the Straight Talk Express. Puhlease. That is why the conservatives hated him...his open lovefest with the "liberal media".

Now he's fallen back onto the old conservative "don't believe those lying liberal media types". If your message sucks, shoot the messenger defense.

Boring.

I am not surprised that this is a close race. We are a people who elected George W. Bush twice we are gluttons for punishment.

Answer 3

maybe in fox news polls or right wing ones only

Answer 4

Because he is an empty suit and is nothing more that a puppet and the more attention he gets the more apparent it becomes to more and more people.

Answer 5

its sooo funny that the worn has turned for the cons, no longer the fav's of the media.

haha

Answer 6

Once in a while, when the words aren't written for him and the questions aren't screened, Obama has to answer a tough question.  Mind you, it is a rare occurrence, but there have been a few occasions, and he handles situations like that very badly.  Stuttering through cliches and typical political rhetoric and getting overly defensive are not signs of the alleged great speaker the press has made him out to be.  Enough people have seen this, and in the coming months, it will become more apparent that he really isn't the god the media portrays him as.

Answer 7

Because alot of us do not rely on the media to pick our candidate. We use our own brains.
