With the polls showing Obama ahead of McCain, do you believe it?

Do you believe that Obama is ahead of McCain or just the media polls.

    No! I think the media that always favors the Dems post this in hope of swaying some voters to think it is close. Plus it keeps the ranking up for themselves.

    I definetly believe it. Because McCain is a republican, I don't think that many people want him to be president because "it would be like giving George Bush a third term". Obama, on the other hand, is a Democrat and therefore would be more popular than McCain.

    The one I saw had Hillary beating both McCain and Obama. I don't believe any of them. If superdelegates can be bought, why can't the people who publish the polls?

    Of course I believe it. It's Clinton/Dole all over again - a powerful, energetic, dynamic leader(Obama), vs an over-the-hill has-been who spent his whole life in the same job(McCain). Democrats are just starting to come around. Wait until Hillary is officially out, and watch the spread jump even more.

    Please give yourself any information that you can about any rally that any Republican had that drew a large crowd? Stop. there were none. McCain will lose in a landslide to Obama. There is no buzz for McCain, even in his own party.

    I don't know.

    My boyfriend stresses that everyone is ready for change, but I believe that all the Hillaroids will idiotically jump ship come November.

    His whole campaign has been one of upsets and surprises. We'll see!

    He`s not ahead, it`s just the media polls.

    It is the media slant to the left. Many polls have McCain all but uncatchable. What the polls don't count is Rush's 'Operation Chaos.' Many voters are still voting Democrat, but come November, they will vote GOP.

    No, polls are showing it both ways.. its too early, and you have to look at how the question is asked, and who is doing the research
