LA Times/Bloomberg Poll : Obama holds 12-point lead over McCain (49-37)

[Wretched Excess]

vaguely interesting how the numbers change when nader and barr are added to the poll.  their
sample is badly skewed (bolded).

the poll also indicates that our base is less than thrilled.  yeah, we knew that.  we pretty much
are all "the base" here.

and, I guess we will be hearing the phrase "enthusiasm gap" a lot from here on out.

Obama holds 12-point lead over McCain, poll finds

WASHINGTON -- Buoyed by enthusiasm among Democrats and public concern over the economy, Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) has captured a sizable lead over Sen. John McCain (R-Ariz.) at the opening of the general election campaign for president, the Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg Poll has found.

In a two-man race between the major party candidates, registered voters chose Obama over McCain by 49% to 37% in the national poll conducted last weekend.

On a four-man ballot including independent candidate Ralph Nader and Libertarian Bob Barr, voters chose Obama over McCain by an even larger margin, 48% to 33%.

In contrast, many voters give McCain credit as the more experienced candidate and the one best equipped to protect the nation against terrorism -- but they rank those concerns below their worries about the economy.

Moreover, McCain suffers from a pronounced "enthusiasm gap," especially among the conservatives who usually give Republican candidates a reliable base of support. Among voters who describe themselves as conservative, only 58% say they will vote for McCain; 15% say they will vote for Obama, 14% say they will vote for someone else, and 13% say they are undecided.

By contrast, 79% of voters who describe themselves as liberal say they plan to vote for Obama.

In this national poll's random sample of voters, 39% identified themselves as Democrats, 22% as Republicans, and 27% as independents. In a similar poll a year ago, 33% identified themselves as Democrats, 28% as Republicans, and 30% as independents.

A commie newspaper like the LA Times states that there is a 17 point % gap between Repubs (22%)& Democraps (39). That tell me right there that the poll is tainted with bias. The faggot pollster, Pinkus, can not count to a 100 because when you add the 22% for Independents, the total equals 88%. I guess the missing 12% are in outer space.

Among voters who describe themselves as conservative, only 58% say they will vote for McCain; 15% say they will vote for Obama,

That tells you all you need to know about the accuracy of the thing.

These lying piece shit pollsters want the Magic Negro to win so bad.

McCain is going to stomp the piss out of Obama. Mexicans do not like blacks; they will vote for McCain in large numbers.
