Who polled 3.5M registered voters across the U.S. where 70% voted for Obama to win the election by landslide?

Bet me, McCain's camp knows about this poll. It is real and the largest poll taken, one that the McCain camp can not afford to take, sorry Sarah - maybe next time, try again in 2020.

Update:

I would not lie to you about this.

Update 2:

The poll consist of Democrats, Republicans, Independents, Greens, Libs, and other party members, it was a nationwide poll taken with a purpose and this is the result.

    Sounds like you are referring to the 2004 Illinois Senate race. As in Illinois' representative to the Senate. He was running against Alan Keyes.

    Obama won with 3.5 million votes or 70% of the votes. A Democratic state electing a Democrat to the Senate. Huge surprise there.

    What's that have to do with the presidency? And that's not a poll. It was an election.

    If anyone polled 3.5 million people they should be shot for abuse of funds. The margin of error when you poll 1000 random people is about 3%. If you double that number it drops to around 2%. Double that to about 4000 and you are looking at 1.5%. Polling 10,000 people will get an acurracy of 99.5%. How much time and money would you WASTE to poll 3.5 Million people. If that is the kind of administration we can expect Obama to run then we cannot afford him.

    Never mind that your statistics are way off of what the major polling organizations come up with. Real clear pollitics Poll-of-Polls represents a polling of about 10,000 people. Any larger poll would be within that +/- 0.5%.

    Source(s): The major polling places get paid for the data they deliver and they live and die by the accuracy of that data. If they lie then people don't believe them and people don't by their product.
  • No such poll was ever taken.

    How do I know? No poll has a sample size of 3.5 million. Most polls of this type have a sample size of under two thousand. Accuracy of the poll isn't improved with a sample size in the millions and the cost of gathering the data can be high.

    All I know is that the New York Times Electoral map says Obama is leading. All this Sarah Palin hype is cancelled out by all the Sara Palin lying....

    Polls

    .

    Are a joke

    .

    Each taker of the polls has an automated dialing program to call voters

    .

    And those phone numbers can be controlled as to his called

    .

    Which class of home owners

    .

    Each section of the country has its Poor parts of town

    Up to the wealthy part of town

    And each area can be found to have the same first 3 phone number digits after the area code

    .

    So you see just by placing the request and then the areas to be called

    .

    Can make the Polls out come be more to one side of the fence

    If I polled from the registered Democrats... I'd likely find 70% for Obama too.

    If this were true.

    Why would Obama be reacting to McCain so much

    Just this week he said he would not eleiminate the Bush tax cuts, this week he said he would allow drilling.

    He was so confident he would not be flip flopping in the middle of his campaign.

    So who polled 3.5 million people, and where is the link.

    Every poll has a different result. I honestly do not think that one can go by a Poll. I have given up taking any notice of ANY polls.
