11. First , I would not trust faux. Second, this will just fire up more votes for Obama
The more folks sense Obama could lose a close one, the more people will vote in unprecedented numbers for him.

He has the youth vote wrapped up and normally, you might see a 20% participation rate. Get em riled up - that could jump to 40-50% with most of going to Obama.

Be careful what you wish for....

Your a dedicated Hillary supporter, but I really think the tide has shifted in Obama's favor and he's gonna win the nomination.

Of course, I hope he does - so I'm a little biased.

7. Well, do you have any evidence the "report card" is faulty?
I like these strawmen from Obama supporters. They just come and come and never stop giving.

5. Amazing that SurveyUSA does a "report card" even when they are on it placing 14th.
Edited on Fri Feb-01-08 04:57 PM by joshcryer
I think that shows at least that they're honest about their own polling numbers.

6. Have you seen how fast Obama is closing the gap?
Perhaps you should feast your eyes on Gallup.

9. The agency that is in 16th place on that "report card"? This report card is cool.
It shows just how polls really are.

14. I don't think he has enough time to catch all the way up.
A little to little. A little to late!

They've only polled 3 races as opposed to 7-8 from Zogby and the others, so let's not give them saint status yet. It's the trend lines that matter (and for that matter state polls tell more than national ones).

12. Holy Shit! I never thought I'd see the day where a Fox News Poll would be considered valid on DU.
Someone needs to do a study on what primary season does to a person's ability to THINK.

15. Well, I'm trying to understand the veracity of the report card.
I place a lot of weight on report cards.
