As of right now Obama is winning in the polls and has taken the lead of this election. This although is no guarantee that he will win because I’ve learned through past experiences that politics is unpredictable and I remember the presidential candidate Al Gore had a lead in the polls at some point but still lost his election. I would like to see Obama win simply because I tend to agree with his politics more often then I agree with John McCain. I think the polls are helpful so that we have a ruff idea of what American citizens are thinking but in the long run it doesn’t really matter what the polls say, anyone could win this election.
