But if we get to pick just one poll, I'll pick the Times/Bloomberg poll that's 49-37, or the Newsweek poll that's 51-36, each from the latter half of June.<BR/><BR/>But I'd prefer to work from the averages on sites like fivethirtyeight and pollster, each of which show a fairly consistent 4-to-6 point lead for Obama over the past month or more based on their aggregations of polling data from much more than one organization. A consistent lead of more than most polls' margin of error is a far cry from having no chance to win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12610610.post-38267891106741210802008-07-07T00:15:00.000-04:002008-07-07T00:15:00.000-04:00I was referring to a Gallup Poll that was referred...I was referring to a Gallup Poll that was referred to in the media here in Israel that was done shortly before July 4. It showed Obama leading McCain 48% to 46%.<BR/><BR/>My question regarding the electoral vote count you mentioned is regarding what the pollsters do with the "undecided" vote.<BR/><BR/>I am not happy with the decision Obama made to visit Israel. Israel has unfortunately become one of the key panderings of all candidates. All candidates, of course, claim they "love" Israel, but as Shmuel Rosner in Ha'aretz has pointed out, that has come to be a meaningless expression. People who hate Israel but express a preference that the Jews not be thrown into the sea (e.g. Walt and Mearsheimer or Jimmy Carter) are defining themselves as "Israel lovers".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12610610.post-68438536315199757492008-07-06T20:31:00.000-04:002008-07-06T20:31:00.000-04:00FYI, the YM/WHA in Riverdale is basically off of 2...FYI, the YM/WHA in Riverdale is basically off of 256th street.General Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07373614133267420061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12610610.post-50087741557053746132008-07-06T18:35:00.000-04:002008-07-06T18:35:00.000-04:00Although this is not related to this current threa...<I>Although this is not related to this current thread, I just wanted to point out the polls showing the lead your hero Obama having over McCain has pretty much evaporated</I><BR/><BR/>By all means, please point them out. FiveThirtyEight.com is currently showing Obama with a 66.5% win percentage (and a projected 308.9 electoral votes), whereas the more Republican-friendly electionprojection.com is projecting Obama with 338 electoral votes, so I have no idea which polls you're referring to.BZhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18242965196421853025noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12610610.post-91983454832394928592008-07-06T15:57:00.000-04:002008-07-06T15:57:00.000-04:00Although this is not related to this current threa...Although this is not related to this current thread, I just wanted to point out the polls showing the lead your hero Obama having over McCain has pretty much evaporated, IN SPITE of the fact that "O" has a big lead in fund raising, a generally friendly, supportive media hyping the "history-making" aspects of his nomination, an extremely unpopular President and serious economic conditions. I pointed out in your earlier thread that I don't believe Obama has any chance to win, too many people just don't like or trust him.<BR/><BR/>Sorry to disappoint you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12610610.post-25876586910336787682008-07-06T07:49:00.000-04:002008-07-06T07:49:00.000-04:00avenue q, of course.avenue q, of course.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12610610.post-21030694487647018182008-07-04T19:31:00.000-04:002008-07-04T19:31:00.000-04:00Welcome back.And Happy Day of Independence from Mi...Welcome back.<BR/><BR/>And Happy Day of Independence from Mighty Kings.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
