Several damning Battleground polls popped up out of nowhere today. They were done by a group of Big Ten schools.
Just one observation from an early look. In the internals for Ohio the poll sample was comprised as follows: Dem 40% Rep 27% Ind 28%.
In 2004 Ohio exit poll results Party ID turned out to be Rep 40% Dem 35% Ind 25%.
Has Ohio changed that much in four years? We'll know on November 4th.


You forget Mark... that 186% of the voters were migrants from NY, from IL, from DC, and probably a few vagrants from Ontario and MI to pad up the black/homeless phantom voters.
And a few zombies registered by ACORN folks working for cigarettes and 40oz bottles of Colt 45.

one more pt about the quinnpiac number-
most atounding thing about the skewing of demographics isn't the lowered weighting for whites so much as the overweighting for minorities...
While lowering the white demographic by (11/84) 13%, they have effectively raised the minority sample by (13/16) 81%.

Could be the Ohio poll reflects negative rub due to Joe-the-Plumber blowing up in McCain's face. You never know how some of this stuff comes across at the local level.

I pray to God that the american people will wake up before nov. 4th and vote for John McCain a proven leader, an honest man, a man who has served our country and has been in crisis situtions and knows how to handle them. A man who is pro life, pro marriage, pro freedom and pro our constitution. Being pro life and pro marriage as God attends and having moral values honors God. If we has a nation are that we then God will bless. if we vote in obama and other liberals whoa re anti everything God is and stands for then we are inviting God's judgement. obama has done nothing but lied about his record and has shown he does not like this country. he is a man of very bad character. his tax policies are nothing short of socialism and socialism is proven failure for a few reasons but bottom line is it gives too much power to the goverment and they use that power to control lives and limit freedoms and in turn that sucks hope from people. they cannot better there lives and sitution. they are stuck. It is tyrany and that seems to be what obama is all about. i know i for sure don't what that for my family and my country and i pray to God teh majority of americans don't what that either.

i think it has a broad effect on white voters, no college degree...
they identify with joe, more than any other candidate.
not a huge demographic, but a very polarized one, similar to minority voters. If mccain was targetting a group that had a chnace to grow, it would be among white, low education voters.
(the reason it is not 'huge' is because you must exclude those who were already going to vote, regardless of joe)

"--- You'd know, living in a ghetto and all... ---"
Nope. But I've driven through a few before.
Sort of like that time I got lost in Stamford a few years back when worknig with a client.
That south side of the town is (or was - I heard that it is gentrifying itself and pushing all them po' folks out to Bridgeport) a pretty scary part of town you got there.

Charlie, it is already too late.
The people of this republic only have the illusion of voting as a tawdry drama to distract them from the robbery of the election, and the exchange of money from one Illuminati party to another.
Obama *WILL* be elected president on 4th November, and we will have an ultra-liberal hypermajority Congress that will WRECK this nation.
The Judgment of Almighty God has been declared, the Empire has been weighed, found deficient, and it shall be divided among the sons of the mighty (Illuminati families and their lesser minions).
May God have mercy upon us, and deliver this our nation unto repentance, that the One and True Sovereign, the Lord Jesus Christ, may have mercy upon us and restore our nation (2 Chronicles 7:14)
