John McCain WILL WIN, want to know why?

30 mins ago, I asked a question on Yahoo! Answers.. I asked people whether they would vote for John McCain or Barack Obama. I got 30 answers and here are the results..

McCain 18

Obama 7

Void: 5

Doesnt this mean that McCain will win? This is a simple poll from a random amount of people.

For all Obama supporters, please prove me wrong.

    Although not scientifically correct, your results may well prove true. Average Americans cannot be fooled into voting for a White hating racist.

    No matter how much money is spent disguising it.^

    Obama's supporters can't afford computers.

    Unless the government gives them away.

    --------------

    And this election is still not over.

    Someone posted that Obama (based on the latest polls) is ahead 309-229.

    But, if you look at the polls, a lot of those states are close (less than 4 points). "Margin of error" means that the race is too close for a poll to determine accurately which way the whole state is going.

    If you take that 309-229, and filter out states with less than a 4 point lead for either candidate, then you have Obama 231-188, with 119 up for grabs.

    Pennsylvania (21 EV), 46-42 Obama

    Ohio (20 EV), 48-46 Obama

    Georgia (15 EV) 44-43 McCain

    North Carolina (15 EV) 45-41 McCain

    Virginia (13 EV) 49-47 Obama

    None of these big 5 can be considered safe for either candidate.

    GREAT !!!

    Your "poll" is as good as any other !!

    Pollsters ... anyone with 3rd grade math skills ... can and will ... spin the numbers to get the results that THEY WANT !!!

    .

    It still does NOT keep us from spreading the word that ... Obama is ANTI-American !!!

    Obama knows TAXES, TAXES, AND, MORE TAXES !!!

    He will NOT stop at taxing the rich !!!!

    OBAMA wants to END WORLD POVERTY on ... OUR NICKEL AND SURRENDER THE United States to THE United Nations.

    Please, search the ...

    Global Poverty Act (S.2433), ... and it is being sponsored by none other than JUNIOR Senator Barack Obama

    .

    **************************************...

    AND ... In doing so ... Obama, the Unions, and the Democrats will be sending messages to big business to downsize in America and send more jobs to foreign countries.

    Brilliant ideas from Obama, the Democrats and the Unions (SARCASM) !!!!

    **************************************...

    .

    Democrats / Blamers ... TRY to explain this ...

    04/13/08 -

    President Bush Job Approval

    RCP Average

    Approve 31.0%

    Disapprove 65.5%

    Spread -34.5%

    Congressional Job Approval (DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED) **********

    RCP Average

    Approve 22.0%

    DISAPPROVE 70.0% **********

    Spread -48.0%

    .

    Democrats have to recognize that since the 73rd Congress in 1933, for a MAJORITY of THE LAST 65 YEARS, Democratic Houses of Representatives and Democratic Senates have CONTROLLED the nation and the President.

    A TOTAL of 38 Sessions with Democrats in CONTROL for 28 of those!

    WE need to inform/TELL our political representatives that WE NEED TO PASS a Constitutional Amendment for the LINE ITEM VETO.

    This will keep the SPECIAL INTEREST GARBAGE from being attached to valuable legislation.

    If Congress wants to give the president that power, they will have to pass a constitutional amendment, Supreme Justice John Paul Stevens said. "If there is to be a new procedure in which the president will play a different role in determining the text of what may become a law, such change must come not by legislation but through the amendment procedures set forth in Article V of the Constitution," Stevens said, on June 25th, 1998.

    IF your special interest is SO valuable, why do you have to HIDE it in valuable legislation?

    So, with them REFUSING to PASS the Line Item Veto, in reality, the House and Senate have REALLY been controlling the country!!

    AND, with the CURRENT Senate and Congress having the WORST approval rating in HISTORY, hopefully we will see a LOT of changes after the general elections.

    A recent Reuters poll is out and Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid have pulled an upset: They have managed to make George Walker Bush twice as popular as CONGRESS.

    RECENTLY - - JUST 13% of Likely Voters now say the DEMOCRATICALLY CONTROLLED Congress is doing a good or excellent job. A recent Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey found that 43% give Congress a poor rating.

    Those results represent a slight decrease from the previous month, when 15% gave Congress a good or excellent rating.

    Democrats generally believe in heavy fines for honest work, while rewarding sloth and indulgence.

    Do YOU think that people should be able to do absolutely nothing productive and get government hand-outs for sloth and indulgence - healthcare, tobacco, alcohol, drugs, STDs, etc. ??

    Do YOU want to have YOUR MONEY TAKEN from YOU and YOUR FAMILY to FINANCE these people ???

    Why would it matter to me? All I see coming is same song,different key,even different tempo! McCain is an old fartknocker and Obama just a plain @$$ phony just using the race card to the hilt.

    Vote none of the above in '08

    The socialists for Obama would have won if you had run your test on a weekday afternoon while the Republicans are at work making things happen in America. It is truly amazing how all the socialists show up in then. Try it, you'll see. But don't try it in the morning, the socialists are still sleeping-in.

    McCain will win for sure, no matter what all the national polls say. Besides even Obama is slowly agreeing with what McCain is saying , he is just making it sound like it was all his own idea.

  • 1 decade ago

    That poll is probably more accurate than some of the others we've seen. I imagine McCain will win, because most people are too smart to vote for Obama. His support base is shrinking daily.

    Its hardly a scientific poll.

    One must also remember that this is a global site. And that means time may play a factor in things.

    For example, if you were to ask a question about politics at 7pm Eastern Standard Time (where most Republicans live--Bible Belt of the Southeast), it will be 3pm Pacific Standard Time in California (that bastion of Democrat thinking). At 7pm EST the Republicans are at home and more likely to be answering, while the more Democratic California is still working at their 9 to 5 job at 3pm PST. So they are not as likely to be online playing around at one of these sites.

    Which means that if you ask a question at 7pm EST you will get a lot of Republican responses and not so many Democrat responses.

    But if you ask at 9pm PST when the more Democratic states are at home; but its 1am EST and most Republicans are asleep--then you will get more Democrat responses to the same question.

    So you cannot really do a political poll here and get accurate results for the most of the country. I might also point out that polls for just one state usually ask 1000 people, and its even more than that for national polls. You asked 30 people. Nowhere close to the national poll levels that try to ensure more varied and more representative answers for the whole of the nation.

    This proves nothing one way or the other. An Obama favored question would not do so either.
