Default POLL: Less Affluent Prefer Obama, 2-1 Margin

Even among White voters... the ones that backed Hillary, Obama has a 10-point lead over McCain.

Quote:
Obama's advantage is attributable largely to overwhelming support from two traditional Democratic constituencies: African Americans and Hispanics. But even among white workers -- a group of voters that has been targeted by both parties as a key to victory in November -- Obama leads McCain by 10 percentage points, 47 percent to 37 percent, and has the advantage as the more empathetic candidate.
Nothing out of the ordinary, of course, except for the level of support for Obama among White voters.

You sound so optimistic talking about finding out in November, in 2000 we had to wait until pappy Bush's and uncle Reagan's supreme court handed the presidency to W on December 12th. I wouldn't be surprised if they tried the same shameful underhanded tactics again if Obama wins like Gore did.

Wow...the bottom-feeders and losers of this country prefer a candidate who's promised them a whole bunch of "free" stuff, that other people will have to pay for (by force)???

Gee...how unbelievably obvious.

What's tomorrow's worthless poll going to bring? 9 our of 10 people say water is wet? Fire is hot?

Can you please show me one independent count that had Gore ahead?

The guy with the most votes that are in accordance with the state election law is the guy who is supposed to win. The Supremes only validated Bush's win, as Gore was never ahead at any time.

I didn't realize that anyone was so dense that they were unaware aware Gore won the nationwide popular vote, and therefore should have won the election. I'm sure it didn't hurt Bush to have his brother be the governor of the state that was being contested either. He was just lucky the outdated and illogical electoral college system hasn't been replaced yet.
