Factual Argument

The title of my factual argument article is McCain Seen as Less Likely to Bring Change. Although the poll's title referring to the people's positon on change, it also bring's a number of other issues, like people's position on the Republican candidates after the convention, and different groups of people decisions on who the advocated. What I though was important in this article is that the authors Robin Toner and Adam Nagourney included a detailed description of what poll they found their factual data from. For example, how much the sampling error was, how many people were included in the nationwide telephone poll, and how many were registered voters. Another point that they brought up was a correlation between the economy being the top issue affecting their voting position, which presidential candidate will be able to manage the economy better, and who they think was less likely to bring change. Since the majority thought Obama had the greater ability to manga the economy McCain was ultimatly the candidate who was seen less likely to bring change.
