Marist poll: Obama vs. McCain in NY

[Papi]

McCain 48%, Obama 46%.

McCain vs. Clinton is not worth mentioning since she will not be our nominee.

Some McCain/Condi vs. Clinton/Obama or Obama/Clinton matchups are also explored besides individual McCain vs. Obama and McCain vs. Clinton matchups.

1. Clinton/Obama ticket would lose to McCain/Rice ticket? Bullshit!

[AX10]

2. ...

:eyes:

[bluestateguy]

3. That's the silliest thing I have ever seen in my life

Do they actully expect people to believe that?

Oh, they do?

That's....delusional.

[Papi]

9. Marist is a respected pollster

i haven't heard of them being inaccurate.

[bluestateguy]

11. And so was John Zogby, until ihis fuckup of the California race.

Pollsters are always accurate, until they aren't.

[Cali_Democrat]

13. Well, I've never heard of it

[JoFerret]

30. lee miringoff is a great guy

and marist is as good as any.

[bigwillq]

4. Gotta love a GE poll when one party

doesn't even have a nominee (officially) yet. :rofl:

[Cali_Democrat]

5. This poll is BOGUS

I could never imagine New York voting for a Rethug. New York is like my second home. I don't know a soul there that would vote Republican, well very few. This poll has gotta be bullshit. I don't believe it.

[malik flavors]

6. McCain within the margin of error w/ both Dems? This poll is worthless.

[Me.]

7. Right...NY Which Didn't Go To * In '00 Or '04

Is now going to vote for McSame.

[baldguy]

8. I live & work in suburban Republican upstate NY.

I don't know anyone who supports McCain over Obama.

[shadowknows69]

33. Buffalo area too huh?

I'm in Watertown and we're a pretty conservative enclave. I actually think this area will go to McCain sadly enough. Everyone here is always made to be scared to death of the potential closing of Fort Drum. Obama will be seen as detrimental to the military industrial complex. He'll rule in bigger cities though.

[saracat]

10. Ah well, forgetdaboutit. NY doesn't like empty suits.or being taken for granted.

[woolldog]

12. Then why did they elect Hillary?

[Cali_Democrat]

14. Oh Snap

ZING

[saracat]

23. Ni snao. Same reason we "invited " Bobby Kennedy! But you wouldn't "get that"

[Fredda Weinberg]

15. We invited her. It was our investment n/t

[KAZ]

19. Should have have gone with WorldCom. Oh wait, you did!

[Fredda Weinberg]

35. I don't own stocks ... on principle. MCI did buy SHL Systemhouse

while I was a consultant on one of their projects ... no complaints here.

Sheesh, are you nothing but bitterness? No matter how silly season ends, I'm fine w/my relationships.

[shadowknows69]

34. Temporary insanity

I actually voted for Lazio, sorry.

[quakerboy]

25. Someone didnt bother to read the poll before spouting off

it also says Clinton/obama still loses to McCain/Condi. Apparently NY dosnt like Hillary or Barack. And prefers Condi to both. Yup. She is the poster for not taking things for granted. And the polar oposite of a empty suit. How's that fit your little smear?

[Muttocracy]

16. I don't buy it; previous post in previous thread:

17. That poll is only for this moment in time.

A lot can change between now and November, and I imagine that McCain is looking better in polls in all states because of our drawn out primary. No one is holding McCain's feet to the fire yet--the M$M sure isn't going to do it, and we don't have a candidate yet to go after him. Once our candidate is chosen, look for McCain's numbers to drop across the board.

There is no way NY is going red this year. Put your money on it.

18. IBTL BOY WAS THAT FAST

[JoFerret]

20. Clinton beats McCain

Obama doesn't.

Sounds about right to me.


Wake up folks.

[MadBadger]

21. Give me a Fucking break. In her home state she beats him by 2, and Obama loses by

Both well in the margin of Error of an AWFUL poll.

[grantcart]

27. did anybody notice that Papi went for pizza minutes after he started this thread?

[MadBadger]

22. Clinton only beats McCain by 2...something smells fishy with this poll people.

[Monty__]

24. Sorry.....

Obama's not losing NY. Dukakis won NY.

2004: Kerry wins NY 58-40
2000: Gore wins NY 60-35
1996: Clinton wins NY 59-30
1992: Clinton wins NY 49-33
1988: Dukakis wins NY 51-47

Last Dem to lose NY was Mondale (and he lost almost everywhere).

[DrFunkenstein]

26. The Race Has Not Yet Begun...And Obama Is Currently

Going against the Junior Senator from New York. Time will heal all wounds, but it's not making McCain any younger.

[MidwestTransplant]

28. This polling firm should just pack it up and go home.

[mckeown1128]

29. Total BS!!!

it says 1/3rd of NY dems would vote for McCain... lol lol :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

[saltpoint]

31. We carry the Empire State in November.

McCain loses.

[sniffa]

32. Which is why the GWAR must be our nominee

She's our only chance of carrying NY in the GE.

[book_worm]

36. Bunk! this poll has both Hillary and Obama losing New York! this is bull.

either would carry NY.

[NJSecularist]

37. This poll is bullshit. New York is a safe Democratic state.

All you need to see to realize that this poll is bullshit is to see that Hillary is only up 2 points in her home state.

Obama will win by 15-20 points.
