Obama is kicking McCain's behind really badly on all three Gallup Polls: Registered Voters, Likely Voters (Expanded), and Likely Voters (Traditional). All three with Obama leading by at least 8 points.
http://www.gallup.com/poll/111679/Ga...All-Bases.aspx
Gallup Poll Daily tracking from Oct. 28-30 shows him with an eight percentage point lead over John McCain among traditional likely voters -- 51% to 43% -- his largest margin to date using this historical Gallup Poll voter model.

Wow. A blog with poll results, written by a liberal supporter of Obama says that McCain only has a 2.8% chance to win. I'm super surprised!!!!
Take the Zogby poll showing McCain is leading, and the Gallup poll that shows Obama up 8, make yourself a ham sandwhich and ponder just who it was that first put a piece of cheese and a slice of ham together. Did that guy get it right, or what!!!

There is no magic behind this number. He simply takes the polling averages and comes up with numbers no radically different than many other pollsters, and then computes the probability of a particular scenario based on all possible combinations.

Math has a well-known liberal bias.

Most other subjects? Heh... I hope you meant most other subjects in the area of political science, and you don't think that subjects like Japanese 101 have a liberal bias?

Does the Nobel organization give out a prize for Japanese 101?

Okay.
Maybe not math and foreign languages.
Also, probably not stuff like arts and crafts.
If I can think of any more, I'll let you know.

Science, Physics, Engineering, IT, Food/Nutrition/Agriculture, History, do you really need more? There are more subjects that have nothing to do with politics than the reverse.
No offense, but this is a pretty dumb, ill-conceived statement.

Guys, I'm sorry. Apparently my sense of humor is a little too dry for some.

Show me this Zoby poll.... oh you mean the 1 day of the 3 day poll that was 125 people? surely you can't be serious. You do know Obama is at +7 in that poll right?
Talk about clinging to anything you can.

stupendousman, considering you claimed that science Nobel prizes were given out for political reasons, and that the science behind them was often in doubt, it is not surprising that people don't take your know-nothing posts for humor.

Tie, considering you still have problems with attributing arguments to people they never make, it's not surprising you'd have difficulty understanding things that require being able to understand nuanced subtleties using things like dry humor, irony or sarcasm.
