Looks like my prediction about Obama sliding behind McCain was off by a few days. I predicted it would happen before the Dem Convention in the Gallup Daily Tracking Poll: But what comes up must come down, as we say in physics. And what this tells me is when attention does move from the Olympics […]

I was checking in to see what news was out today and glanced at the RCP state-by-state poll numbers as was absolutely stunned to see John McCain leading in OH. Last time I looked Obama was pretty far ahead (too early to focus on the states right now). So I went to the RCP Ohio […]

I predicted Obama would be behind in the polls when the Democrat Convention began, but it turns out he will only be tied with McCain in some key polls. The Gallup Daily Tracking Poll yesterday had the presidential race a tie: CNN also has it a dead heat. The other polls at RCP show statistical […]

Update: This about sums it up: Obama hired a pit bull because, at his core, he is nothing but a politician and he felt the needed to cover up his insecurity on national security. And that is from a pro-democrat media news outlet!     – end update Not much new substance to post on […]

Some people don’t understand that near-manic passion can translate into repulsion. There is a point where people who believe strongly in something cross a line and those strong beliefs start to repel everyone else. Why? Strong beliefs turn into quasi-dictatorial positions. Either you believe as they do or you are the evil enemy. Face it, […]

Boy, this is no way to limp into your party’s convention! I posted earlier (here and here) on a slew of polls showing Obama slipping against McCain. Even more polls are out this evening showing the same trend, an Obama poll slip.  In the first post I noted I predicted Obama would likely limp into […]

Previously I posted on some terrible polling news for Obama as he slid 12 points against John McCain in the last month in the LA Times/Bloomberg poll. Now a Zogby Poll (forever unreliable, I know) shows a dramatic shift towards McCain as well: McCain leads Obama by a 46% to 41% margin. … This latest […]

Major Update: Yep, Obama is in a major slide in at least one poll: Barack Obama’s public image has eroded this summer amid a daily onslaught of attacks from Republican rival John McCain, leaving the race for the White House statistically tied, according to a Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll released today. Far more voters say […]

Obama is getting tired and getting tiresome. A recent PEW poll noted 48% of the electorate is tired of hearing him rant: Close to half (48%) of Pew’s interviewees went on to say that they have been hearing too much about Obama lately. And by a slight, but statistically significant margin – 22% to 16% […]

I postulated below Obama was not going to get much of a sustained bounce out of his dismal and error prone (if not lying as when he claimed he was on a Senate Committee he was not on and supported legislation he opposed) world tour.  He simply demonstrated why he was the wrong man for […]
