Comments:US presidential candidate John McCain now leads slightly in the polls

The polls are rigged with fewer than 2,000 people polled and with a questionable sampling group at that. Everyone knows where the economy is going if Republicans rig the election process again. McCain is for the environment: Palin = Big Oil Pipeline. Give me a break. McCain will fix the economy: What a bunch of bunk. He should try fixing his temper first.
 * It's not like either of them are very good candidates. Fephisto (talk) 11:36, 9 September 2008 (UTC)\
 * For the record, 2,000 people is plenty to have a small margin of error. Generally the polls are statistically sound, and reflect years of scrutiny. In addition, the article quotes a meta-poll analysis that incorporates results from seven different polls, it seems, and so is probably an even more accurate reflection of reality. I have little faith in polling, but not because of statistics -- rather, it's because people don't always tell the truth, and sometimes change their minds. -- IlyaHaykinson (talk) 17:32, 9 September 2008 (UTC)


 * I love it when McCain is winning in the polls Dems talk crap about the polls but when Obama is winning they say noting.--KDP3 (talk) 23:14, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * No, we just know that Republicans are testing out their stuff before they rig another election..."Hey! Let's just have a poll of 1000 white people from Alabama and see what they think of Obama! That represents the nation!" I can't wait to see McCain get CRUSHED in the election because all these polls are wrong. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.166.175.146 (talk) 02:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

 * Assuming a nice, random sample of size 2,000, differences larger than about 2 percentage points are significant. Of course, the number of factors that keep this from being a nice, random sample will have an effect that could quite easily invalidate that.

 * Also does not matter,in 2000 Al Gore won most popular votes but in the end G.W. Bush Jr. won the election since he had most electoral votes.85.139.83.55 15:56, 10 September 2008 (UTC)
