Gallup Daily: Obama's Lead Expands to 11 Over McCain

These results, based on Oct. 5-7 polling, are the best for Obama during the campaign, both in terms of his share of the vote and the size of his lead over McCain. (To view the complete trend since March 7, 2008, click here.)

Nearly all interviews in today's report were conducted before Tuesday night's town hall style debate in Nashville. Any movement in voter preferences as a result of this debate will be apparent in coming days.

Voter preferences seem to have stabilized for the moment, as Obama has held a double-digit lead over McCain in each of the last three individual nights of polling.

McCain needs to turn this around this week or it's over.

from many comments on here, sounds like one tactic is to dust off the red scare.

LOL, if that's the best you can muster, November 4 is going to be a short night.

You continue to make the least amount of sense among any poster in the politics forum. Stick to the football forum, oh wait, that isn't any better.

Obama Hammers "Radical" McCain For Refusing To Say Health Care Is A Right

Obama remarks:
Take health care. We were both asked whether we believed that health care should finally be the right of every American. I believe it should. But Senator McCain didn't say that. And when you look at his radical health care plan, you can see why....

Senator McCain didn't tell us about the studies that say his plan would cause 20 million Americans to lose their health insurance, or how the Chamber of Commerce said it would be a disaster for businesses, or how it would de-regulate the insurance industry so that they don't have to cover things like mammograms, or vaccinations, or maternity care. He thinks we won't notice these things.

Well, I've got news for John McCain: we notice, we know better, and we're not going to let him get away with it.

This issue is personal for me. My mother died of ovarian cancer at the age of 53, and I'll never forget how she spent the final months of her life lying in a hospital bed, fighting with her insurance company because they claimed that her cancer was a pre-existing condition and didn't want to pay for treatment. If I am President, I will make sure those insurance companies can never do that again.

Obama is allegedly a "Constitutional scholar", where in that document does he find a right to healthcare?

How on earth can anyone argue that healthcare is a "right". As far as I know, being fed isn't a "right" -- you'd think that comes before healthcare...

I think it's semantics, and it's probably a winning issue since O is pounding McCain on this today. Even Fox didn't touch it last night. I'm sure the eggheads over at NRO aren't happy about it, but this is now a populist campaign. I bet most Americans would say they agree that healthcare should be a right. Remember, most Americans believed Saddam was responsible for 9/11. It is what it is.

Whatever we do on this issue, we are going to have to be VERY careful. The hit on our balance sheet that we are getting ready to take with Medicaid and Medicare alone is staggering. There is going to need to be some serious reform just to make it through the baby boom budget bust .... and the sad thing is it is their excess tax receipts that have allowed Washington to set up the culture of spend and pork that is going to bust when Medicaid and Medicare receipts go through the roof.

My question isn't so much is it right to go to universal health care, but how in the world are we going to actually do it/afford it. Again...we have to be very careful here.

federalize it. That's always the most efficient process. Then gauze pads can be priced like ball peen hammers are to NASA.

Obama was lying through his teeth when he said that everybody would have access to the same medical care that he and John McCain enjoy.

I also noticed last night that Obama kept saying. "I WANT to cut taxes for 95% of Americans..." Before last night, he was saying I WILL. He obviously knows that we are screwed and there is no way those tax cuts are going to happen.
