OAL News reports a new LA Times/Bloomberg poll has Obama ahead of McCain by



12%. However, their own poll newsaol, polls. aol.com has McCain at 53% and Obama at 40%, 7% undecided. In there four way poll adding Ralph Nader and Bob, McCain is at 51% Obama 38% Barr at 3% and Nader at 2%, 6% undecided. Two way poll, 495,800 total voters. The four way poll, 435,600 voters. 82% of those poll say they are "very" interested in the election. 14% "somewhat" and 4% "not very."

It all depends on who you poll for those questions. Yoy can get the results you want by polling the right persons.

I agree. I contribute to two polls, Zogby and Polling Point. For a while they both had the similar demographic questions such as:

"Do you consider yourself a NASCAR fan?" and "How often do you shop at Wal-Mart?"

Those are two of the most leading questions that lead to stereotyping and are similar to:

"How often do you eat fried chicken or watermelon?" and "Do you wear baggy pants or your cap sideways?"

Why do they ask that when there are so few ethnic Japanese voters?

Perhaps, but he might HEAR you ;)

The problem with blind polls is we can sneak past the blind pollster and avoid answering questions.

91.2% of all statistics are made up by the person quoting them. We know this to be especially true of larrymoe.

No, you're not a racist, you're just a s*****ad. And you don't have the brains to know that what you're spouting is nonsense. Come around again the first week in November and tell us again "What I say is what a vast majority of Americans feel."

uh huh. I'd like to see you a few decades ago when you had to salute a black navy officer. Made your stomach churn?

Maybe if you cared when people called you a racist, you wouldn't be a racist, but why do you like being a racist in the first place?

Cite proof that they're been more accurate.

One poll found that 5% of white respondents said they would not vote for a black presidential candidate.

*ahem*

Yet another one of your baseless claims.

I have news for you, at least 15% of us blacks are not going to vote for a socialist like Obama ;)

You're a racist because you made that comment about my father designing WWII Zero planes.

Did your father really design WW2 Zeros?

Look in the mirror and see your ugly racist self.

You are a racist who said a liberal would help the WWII fascist Japanese government.

He was 11 at the end of WW2. OTOH my grandfather spent the war at Nakajima Aircraft (Fuji Heavy Industries, the maker of Subarus), doing as little as necessary to keep his job and avoid military service.

I have socialists in my family, and they don't consider Obama a socialist. I believe they all like both Obama and McCain. I know they hate George W. Bush and think he's a fascist, and so do all my non-socialist relatives, except for the uncle who's a fascist himself.

The discussion is about racism, not political viewpoints. What % of blacks won't be voting for Obama solely because of his races? I doubt that it's going to be 5%.

In that case it seem the black is more racist than the white.

It's highly unlikely because he apparently did nothing but walk around a large room full of drafting tables and talk to the men and mope. He also set a fire at the factory, not by accident.

Now do you see?

How many Americans and British did your German relatives kill in WW2?
