RRRRRRRRRRRRRRREBOUND: Polls point to Barack blowout in NC, push in IN, GE win vs. McHundred

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

Despite MSM's non-stop hatchet job on Barack Obama, he's bounced his numbers back up again and/or maintained his leads:

Zogby in NC: Obama 50, Clinton 34
Research 2000 in NC: Obama 51, Clinton 44

Zogby in Indiana: Obama 42, Clinton 42

CNN, Democrats nationally: Obama 45, Clinton 44
Pew Research, Democrats nationally: Obama 47, Clinton 45

And two head to heads with McCan'tRemember, in which each Democrat beats him:
Pew Research has Obama up 6% on McFreeGas (Clinton up 4 on him)
CNN has Obama up 4% on McHagee (Clinton up 5)

There is no other candidate who can withstand media-made scandals and smear campaigns like Barack Obama. Where would Clinton's numbers or McCain's numbers come in if Fox had been hammering them non-stop since Super Tuesday and if MSM took any interest in any of their scandals?

1. Thank you :)

:woohoo:

[MannyGoldstein]

2. People Got A Little Unconfident About Obama The Last Few Days

But then they looked at the alternative.

Yikes!

[patrice]

3. People are listening to other ordinary people who call them to talk for real.

They're sick of being screwed by corporate media elites.

[hell-bent]

4. Zogby? Ha,ha,ha.....

[jefferson_dem]

6. Zogby got his groove back in PA. He nailed it.

Sorry.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

8. PA, TX show Zogby might be getting a clue.

[Edgewater_Joe]

5. Well, Zogby's Been A Little Unreliable ...

Chatting yesterday in Chicago with some Obama folks who have been rustling up volunteers in IN, I've heard he's doing well in South Bend, has had a real tough time in Fort Wayne, and needs volunteers to hit Indy this weekend (if you were going to Merrillville, keep going south!).

Plus the Mark Kirk nomination shows yet another former DNC chair seeing the damage Hillary is doing and a clear movement to coalescing around Obama and ending this thing sooner rather than later -- but probably in Oregon in two weeks.

So keep running hard and don't accept the polls until the end of the night on Tuesday!

[psychopomp]

10. "If you were going to Merrillville..."

I am grateful to all of the volunteers who are out there putting in work--especially 'cause I live on the other side of the planet! :toast:

[AllentownJake]

20. That sounds about right

Spent 3 years in Indiana in Fort Wayne but traveled all over the state. Fort Wayne is a tough town for any democrat. City of churches...and strip clubs.

[Ken Burch]

56. They should have that on the town boundary signs...

"Welcome to Beautiful Fort Wayne...City of Churches and Strip Clubs!"

[Cant trust em]

59. I think I'm going to spend 2009 traveling America

so I can see some of that stuff first hand. This is a large, diverse, beautiful, and sometimes strange, country.

[gaiilonfong]

7. I think he will rebound

What the media has done is more criminal than what they did to Gore in 2000


Tweety just said it perfectly, the ReTHUGS want Hillary to run, and people like Limpballs would rather Hillary win so they can go after her everyday...rather than defend a weak Jon McBush

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

9. exactly

[southern_belle]

11. K & R Yea!!!!!!!

12. K&R

[futureliveshere]

14. Thats the way... Awesome news early in the morning.

:woohoo:

[catgirl]

15. Indiana- let's end this primary!

Gobama!!

[goclark]

16. Yes!

[olkaz]

17. If Indiana goes for Obama

The media will STILL say it's a horse race.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

21. that's what I'm talking about.

[meow mix]

18. K&RRRRRRRR

woot

[Dyllyn]

19. What doesn't defeat us makes us stronger

I think the waterboarding Obama has had to endure is showing people how cool he is .

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

22. ********POLL TREND UPDATE: EVEN BETTER NEWS FOR BARACK IN INDIANA***********

Poll trends in IN generally show the more recent the polling, the better Barack Obama is doing there:
Telereserach 4/25-29 (80% polling pre 4/29): Obama down 10
Downs Center 4/28-4/30 (33% polling pre-4/29): Obama down 7
Rasmussen 4/29 (100% polling on 4/29): Obama down 5
Zogby 4/30-5/1 (100% polling AFTER 4/29): TIED UP

Obama 08

35. Fantastic...

...keep kicking!!

[Coexist]

23. I like it better when people think he's on the verge of losing NC

because it will make his victory all the sweeter.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

28. it'll still be sweet.

[beezlebum]

41. ooooh it will indeed...

[Alcibiades]

55. Those people are not from NC and don't understand NC

Obama is very popular here.

The media focuses on the race in Indiana because it's close. We're somehow less important, even though we're bigger. Somehow, Indiana "matters" and we don't. :shrug:

We will beat the poll-driven expectations through grassroots GOTV efforts.

[Bette Noir]

68. Indiana matters

because Hillary might win there. If she loses, it'll stop mattering. Haven't you learned the rules, yet?

[npincus]

25. I don't know why anyone lost faith. He is, the main candidate..

Heading off to the Carrboro rally right now. Peace.

36. I think ya need to take a look at the cross tabs in those Zogbys.

42. Awesome...keep up the good fight!!!

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

54. we're all in it together

[acetylyne]

44. and then there's cnn

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/05/02/campaign.wrap/index.html

saying: New polls show Clinton narrowing Obama's lead in North Carolina, once seen as an easy win for Obama?

50 to 34 seems like a pretty easy win to me!

[chill_wind]

46. Same on MSNBC. NO mention of any double digit leads. n/t

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

51. unless it's their own poll, they're about 24 hours slow

[chill_wind]

45. MSNBC pushing HRC "momentum". All day. No surprise there. :-/ n/t

[peony]

47. Check out this video, it'll give you a lift

A man named Lawrence Lessig made this video comparing Clinton and Obama on character, integrity, and what they would do as president since on policies, they're close. This video is brilliant and inspiring! Tell us what you think.

[Iwillnevergiveup]

52. Thanks, Peony

A very well-spent few minutes.

[FrenchieCat]

57. Listening now......

Great thus far.

[Pierzin]

48. Prove the McPundits Wrong!! It'll be hilarious

I heard one of them say Barak only had a 7 point lead in NC. It's like they've had marching orders from Rupert Murdoch himself to say Hillary is neck and neck with Barack, when in fact she is seriously behind and in trouble.

[GetTheRightVote]

50. Go Obam Go, you will be our Nominee, we are so lucky he decided to run this year

[RevCheesehead]

53. You should get a DUZY just for the "McHundred" alone!

:rofl:

[nradisic]

58. Kicked...

GObama!

[Tactical Progressive]

60. I guess people who appreciate shoving your friends in front of a bus

are on the rebound for Obama!

Go Pabo go!

[Sunnyshine]

61. Positive feelings about this Tuesday!

We've all been working so hard for this. I am headed to Indianapolis in the morning to canvas. I live in Ohio, but have all kinds of Barack lovin' friends and family there. 3 more days and another step forward! Thanks for the update, this is great news. Obama 08

[democrattotheend]

62. Where are tonight's Zogby numbers?

Due out at midnight but not posted yet. Grrr!

[trashcanistanista]

63. Fantastic.

Made my day and weekend.:9

[invictus]

64. K & R. GOBAMA!

[Dogmudgeon]

65. I thought Zogby was an unreliable Republican spinmeister

That was the word from Team Obama when he showed The Evil One in the lead.

--p!

[Yossariant]

66. Zogby has Obama losing 7 points in NC today. Uh Oh.

Released: May 03, 2008

Zogby Poll: Obama Lead in NC Shrinks; He and Clinton Remain Deadlocked in Indiana
UTICA, New York - Democrat Hillary Clinton made gains in North Carolina yesterday, drawing within single digits of rival Barack Obama, while the two remain deadlocked in Indiana with just days before Tuesday's primary elections in those states, a pair of new Zogby daily tracking telephone polls show.

[Political Heretic]

67. A non-partisan question: someone should ask why these NC are so wildly variant

each day....

Baffling to me.
