WASHINGTON – The presidential race tightened after the final debate, with John McCain gaining among whites and people earning less than $50,000, according to an Associated Press-GfK poll that shows McCain and Barack Obama essentially running even among likely voters in the election homestretch.Obama and McCain were essentially tied among likely voters in the latest George Washington University Battleground Poll, conducted by Republican strategist Ed Goeas and Democratic pollster Celinda Lake. In other surveys focusing on likely voters, a Washington Post-ABC News poll showed Obama up by 9 percentage points, while a poll by the nonpartisan Pew Research Center had Obama leading by 14. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll, among the broader category of people registered to vote, found Obama ahead by 10 points.
I hate polls and I especially hate people that use polls as the be-all-and-end-all. Look at how all over the map this shit it. Trying to follow these polls is like trying to watch Hellen Keller pass a field sobriety test. One has these two even and another has Obama up by 14. Who are they talking to? Either way, I am getting drunk and writing in Bill Shatner on Novermber 4th.
Besides, as you can see from the picture, polls are scientific and accurate.
