WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democrat Barack Obama's lead over Republican rival John McCain has grown to 12 points in the U.S. presidential race, with crucial independent and women voters increasingly moving to his side, according to a Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby poll released on Thursday.

With less than two weeks before the November 4 election, Obama leads McCain 52 percent to 40 percent among likely voters in the latest three-day tracking poll, which had a margin of error of 2.9 points.

Obama has made steady gains over the last four days and has tripled his lead on McCain in the past week of polling.

"Obama's expansion is really across the board," pollster John Zogby said. "It seems to be among almost every demographic group."

The Illinois senator saw his lead among women -- who are expected to play a decisive role in this election -- increase to 18 points from 16 points on Wednesday.

And independent voters, who have been the target of intense campaign efforts by both sides, have now swung behind Obama by a 30-point margin, 59 percent to 29 percent.........................

That poll is not verified by anything or anyone outside their organization. Perhaps the wishful thinking has taken over from objective polling?!??!?!?!??!

I know they are extremely pro-Democrat....that's why I use them for a source.....if they state something favorable to Republicans it means the real situation is even better.....

[Psychoblues]

You are very wrong about that, pmp.

im lookin at a map that shows Mississippi RED

Mississippi will always be a red state. that is a given. Unfortunately for John-boy and Caribou Barbie, there just ain't enough Mississippi's on the map.:laugh2:

[Psychoblues]

Take another look at my byline at the bottom of all my posts, numbnuts.



im lookin at a map that shows Mississippi RED

What does that mean to you?

:salute::cheers2::clap::laugh2::cheers2::salute:

[Psychoblues]

Not so, mfm. Mississippi was a solidly blue state for many years for economically advantageous reasons. The Civil Rights Act of 1964 and the Voting Rights Act of 1965 along with the race baiting tactics of the Nixon Southern Strategy changed all that.




Mississippi will always be a red state. that is a given. Unfortunately for John-boy and Caribou Barbie, there just ain't enough Mississippi's on the map.:laugh2:

There are many very ignorant and very afraid people living in Mississippi, mfm, but I'm doing my very best to change what part of that I can and to tell you the truth it is looking better every year in local and state elections. As we return to protecting our economic interests to the exclusion of fear from racial considerations we will again become a Blue state and that's just a fact!!!!!!!

:salute::cheers2::clap::laugh2::cheers2::salute:

[retiredman]

I am well aware of the formerly democratic leanings of Mississippi. I hope you are right about the future.

[Psychoblues]

I am certain of it, mfm!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

The changes are slow about coming but they are coming along nicely anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanks for checking out our more progressive and intellectual leanings of the past!!!!!!!!!!!! Education with verified facts is a wonderful thing!!!!!!!!!!!

You gotta give Obama credit. He's got most Americans hook, line, and sinker. He's done a great job of peddaling his socialist ideas.

I haven't heard of any socialist ideas from Obama. Care to clue me in?

"Spread the wealth around"

"Rich white executives" that should pay for inner city kids.

Ring a bell? :poke:

[Psychoblues]

I remember the statements and understand the concept and context of them.

Apparently you are having a problem with the context or concept or both. Is there an institution of higher learning like maybe a junior high school or a library close to where you reside, huk? I suggest you go and read a few books or get some other more personal instruction.

This is just too good not to put here and share with every one.

Bar Stool Economics by David R. Kamerschen, Ph.D.

Suppose that every day, ten men go out for beer and the bill for all ten comes to $100. If they paid their bill the way we pay our taxes, it would go something like this:

The first four men (the poorest) would pay nothing.
The fifth would pay $1.
The sixth would pay $3.
The seventh would pay $7.
The eighth would pay $12.
The ninth would pay $18.
The tenth man (the richest) would pay $59.

So, that’s what they decided to do. The ten men drank in the bar every day and seemed quite happy with the arrangement, until one day, the owner threw them a curve. ‘Since you are all such good customers, he said, ‘I’m going to reduce the cost of your daily beer by $20. Drinks for the ten now cost just $80.

The group still wanted to pay their bill the way we pay our taxes so the first four men were unaffected. They would still drink for free. But what about the other six men - the paying customers? How could they divide the $20 windfall so that everyone would get his ‘fair share?’ They realized that $20 divided by six is $3.33. But if they subtracted that from everybody’s share, then the fifth man and the sixth man would each end up being paid to drink his beer. So, the bar owner suggested that it would be fair to reduce each man’s bill by roughly the same amount, and he proceeded to work out the amounts each should pay.

And so:

The fifth man, like the first four, now paid nothing (100% savings).
The sixth now paid $2 instead of $3 (33%savings).
The seventh now pay $5 instead of $7 (28%savings).
The eighth now paid $9 instead of $12 (25% savings).
The ninth now paid $14 instead of $18 (22% savings).
The tenth now paid $49 instead of $59 (16% savings).

Each of the six was better off than before. And the first four continued to drink for free. But once outside the restaurant, the men began to compare their savings.

‘I only got a dollar out of the $20,’declared the sixth man. He pointed to the tenth man,’ but he got $10!’

‘Yeah, that’s right,’ exclaimed the fifth man. ‘I only saved a dollar, too. It’s unfair that he got ten times more than I!’

‘That’s true!!’ shouted the seventh man. ‘Why should he get $10 back when I got only two? The wealthy get all the breaks!’

‘Wait a minute,’ yelled the first four men in unison. ‘We didn’t get anything at all. The system exploits the poor!’

The nine men surrounded the tenth and beat him up.

The next night the tenth man didn’t show up for drinks, so the nine sat down and had beers without him. But when it came time to pay the bill, they discovered something important. They didn’t have enough money between all of them for even half of the bill!

And that, boys and girls, journalists and college professors, is how our tax system works. The people who pay the highest taxes get the most benefit from a tax reduction. Tax them too much, attack them for being wealthy, and they just may not show up anymore. In fact, they might start drinking overseas where the atmosphere is somewhat friendlier.

the fact that Psycho doesn't understand the truth of that story also explains why he doesn't understand why Obama is a socialist.....
