How is McCain beating Obama in the AOL straw poll?

http://news.aol.com/political-machine/2008/06/05/aol-straw-poll-june-5-june-13/

McCain 54% , Obama 46%

And Obama has more young voters (and online support) than McCain!!

I honestly believe that John McCain is going to win the election in November. God help us either way!!!

As sad as it may be that people are so racist.. I don't believe Obama can get enough votes from whites.

Because only old people use AOL.

Third parties haven't been added yet

No, in this AOL map, McCain is the default choice.

 

[SnappleLlama]

Because AOL polls don't matter?

Well, if the on-line polls are indicators of how people will vote, and we use Ron Paul's performance in those polls as an indicator.....then McCain might as well pack it in now.

I think Ron only took a handful of states ever in the AOL polls.... We would start out good and then lose all of the states to McCain or Romney in a matter of hours.

Probably hacking imo.

Hillary people still want to show that they're upset, but this will change with time

Oh, so because I'm white and not voting for Obama I'm a racist? Even if that isn't what you are getting at there are a lot of people who are using that line and it's BS. Maybe if Obama wasn't a socialist that attended a black supremacist church for 20 some years white people would be a little more inclined to vote for him. Most white people don't like a racists any more than most blacks do.

I cant wait until 3rd party candidates are added. Should be interesting.

Maybe the powers that be want him so they put up whatever they want.

Sad but I no longer believe much in elections - I think they are rigged!

Actually YES!


He meant there are a lot of people who won't vote for him because he's black.

As for his "Black Supremacist Church" thats not really a extremist church, its a mainstream black church. There are major cultural differences between Black Churches and White Churches that have to do with Slavery and the Civil Rights movement.

Eitherway its his spiritual mentor; not his political guide, any good man knows to seperate the two.
