ATI-News/Zogby Poll Shows Democrats, Republicans and Independents Oppose
Obama Positions

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2 /PRNewswire/ -- A strong majority of likely voters
disagree with Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama on firearms
and self-defense related issues, according to a just-released
ATI-News/Zogby poll. Brad O'Leary, president of ATI-News.com and author of
the explosive new book, The Audacity of Deceit: Barack Obama's War on
American Values, notes that opposition to Obama's stance on these issues is
widespread across multiple demographics.

Ban on Hunting Ammunition

In 2005, Senator Barack Obama voted in favor of legislation sponsored
by Senator Ted Kennedy (D-MA) that would have banned nearly all rifle
ammunition used for hunting and sport shooting. This position puts Obama
squarely at odds with over 75 percent of likely voters.

ATI-News/Zogby asked likely voters: "Do you support or oppose
legislation to ban almost all rifle ammunition commonly used for hunting
and sport shooting?"

Seventy-seven percent of likely voters said they oppose legislation to
ban such commonly used ammunition, while only nine percent said they would
support such a ban. A strong majority of Democrats (58 percent),
Republicans (92 percent) and Independents (84 percent) all oppose the
ammunition ban that Obama supported -- as do 79 percent of military
families. (This nationwide poll of 3,825 likely voters was conducted August
27-29 and has a margin of error +/- 1.6 percentage points.)

"This is just another example of how Obama's extreme position on basic
Second Amendment freedoms runs counter to the beliefs of most Americans,"
said O'Leary.

Self-Defense

As an Illinois State Senator in 2004, Barack Obama voted against
legislation that protects citizens, who use firearms in self-defense in
their home or business in spite of local gun bans, from prosecution. Here
again, the Obama position is counter to that of most Americans.

ATI-News/Zogby asked likely voters: "Do you agree or disagree that you
have the right to use deadly force as a means of self-defense in your home,
without having to retreat?"

Eighty-eight percent of likely voters agree that they should have this
basic right to self-defense, while only eight percent disagreed. An
overwhelming majority of Democrats (83 percent), Republicans (90 percent)
and Independents (91 percent) all agree. (This nationwide poll of 974
likely voters was conducted August 15-18 and has a margin of error +/- 3.2
percentage points.)

Most state legislatures have already taken steps to strengthen this
right. Thirty-three states now have "Castle Doctrine" laws that remove a
person's "duty to retreat" from any place he or she has a legal right to
be. Of these states, twenty-two also prohibit criminals and their families
from suing people who injure criminals in self-defense. Many of these laws
have been enacted only in recent years, and more state legislatures are
expected to follow suit in 2009 and beyond.

"Why would Obama vote to make it more difficult for citizens to protect
their homes, businesses and families from life-threatening criminal
attacks?" asked O'Leary. "Americans need to question whether or not they
agree with the 'change' Obama could bring to their basic rights and
freedoms."

Old Tool, shows you know NOTHING about polls or past politics...both Algore and Kerry had "poll leads" shortly before the elections and how did those elections turn out. Democrat candidates need a 12-15 point lead just to be even with reality!!!! Polls had Reagan/Carter and Reagan/Mondale as close elections...how did they turn out. :roll: :shock: :roll: :eek:

Your game is getting old for those of us old enough and smart enough to know better...your creditability is going into negative territory. :lol: 8)

Interesting note about the polls...If you watch the daily polls- they are usually much higher for Obama during the week- than gain a couple points for McCain on the weekends....
The pollsters believe this is because of age disparity- and the huge difference in who the younger and older generations are voting for- since the polling is usually done in the evenings, during the week they catch more of the whole population at home- while on the weekends its just the old fogies (who support McCain) as all the younger ones (who support Obama) have things to do....

The one thing they have not been able to figure in tho-- is the huge amount of younger voters that only have cell phones- and no home phones so aren't being reached....
