Zogby Polls released these results on July 6: Obama 44%, McCain 38%, Barr 6%, other and undecided 12%.
Recent Rasmussen Polls only list Obama and McCain, but the latest Rasmussen Poll showed a 5% lead for Obama over McCain. It is unfortunate that the presidential polls don’t list all 6 candidates who will be on the ballot in states containing a majority of electoral votes.
The last poll that seems to have asked voters to choose from four candidates was this CNN poll, released July 2. It shows Nader at 6% and Barr at 3%.
Go Barr Go, we need 10% TO GET INTO DEBATES , PLEASE DONATE TO SPREAD THE WORD http://WWW.BOBBARR2008.COM
Ralph Nader received 2% in this Zogby Interactive poll. The poll, conducted entirely online, claims to have a margin of error of 0.5%, but in still not considered creditable by many polling companies because of the nature of the questioning. Email are sent to individuals previous indicating their willingness to participate in such polling. They them must link to Zogby’s website to respond to the survey. Still the survey size (46,274 responses) is impressive.

Does anyone have polling figures for minor parties for June-July-August of previous elections? Is 6% particularly high for a minor candidate at this stage (barring Ross Perot)? I recall Harry Browne polling at 1-2% at his peak in 1996 or 2000, but I imagine Nader and/or Buchanan polled in the high single digits at some point.
I’ve heard that Nader is higher at this point than in any of his previous bids. But I haven’t heard specific numbers.
The polls need to consider Nader due to Obama’s flipping. Ralph Nader slams Obama flip-flop flapping
As soon as Democrats get close to power, they do away with civil liberties or other troublesome issues. It is their preferred tactic, just like the war. Activists say, “Bush lied! Thousands died!”, ignoring the Democrats who voted for the war. Was this not the whole purpose of pushing for Obama? For change? To get away from such hypocrisy? So what does Obama do on:
Telecom immunity?
Gun control?
Death penalty?
Campaign finance?
Faith-based funding?
Hypocrisy.

In 2000 approximately 135,000 people voted for Nader in Florida. George Bush won by 500 counted votes. Perhaps other people have enjoyed having George Bush as president, but I have not. Though Nader used to be one of my heroes, he’ll never get a dime or a vote from me again.
