Despite the headline, reading the article it seems that opinion is as equally divided in Iraq as it is here.

This article is much more interesting (and telling):

Snippet:

Omar said if he were an American, he would vote for Democrat Barack Obama because of the Illinois senator’s plans for America.

But, he added, as an Iraqi, he would vote for Republican John McCain “so he could finish the sh-- they started over here.”

In contrast, polls in Israel are different:

Snippet:

An Israeli pollster says that if the country were on the U.S. election map, it would be bright red.

And these polls contradict each other on Florida:

Snippet:

Democrats are beaming that their party is outperforming the Republicans in early voting, releasing numbers Wednesday that show registrants of their party ahead 54 percent to 30 percent among the 1.4 million voters who have gone to the polls early.

"We're thrilled at the record turnout so far," said Democratic Party of Florida spokesman Eric Jotkoff. "It's a clear indication that Democrats want to elect Barack Obama and Democrats up and down the ballot so that we can start creating good jobs, rebuilding our economy and getting our nation back on track."

But party breakdowns for turnout aren't the same as final tallies, and at least one poll offered a different view for the campaign of Republican John McCain.

A Los Angeles Times/Bloomberg poll gave McCain a 49-45 lead over Democrat Barack Obama among Floridians who have already voted.

And Republicans continued to show a traditional strength, leading 50 percent to the Democrats' 30 percent in the 1.2 million absentee ballots already returned.


I still think Obama is a slam dunk, but the polls certainly are all over the place sometimes. Headlines are misleading, polls contradict each other, it's a mess.
