That’s funny because that is the exact OPPOSITE of what Rasmussen and Gallop have been saying..looks like Sabato is using up his BS meter to make up for the fact that Obama is losing BADLY
Reliable tool of the regime.
My read on Sabato is he’s a fair guy. But his analysis is tainted by the fact that he consumes mostly MSM skewed viewpoints. If you accept all the D+ sample shifted polls from the MSM, then his point of view makes sense. If you look at unskewed polls, it does not. And that is outside of his world view.
Sabato is fair, but definitely looks through a leftward prism.
No reasonable person could not see significant Mitt momentum. He took the lead in most every swing state, with Ohio lagging. blue states were tightening, red states slipping away. The only question in the last two weeks was whether the move to Romney was enough to get Ohio over or a combination of other states like IA, CA, NH, and WI so OH didn’t matter.
I wasn’t aware that Sabato does polling? Is that a new gig he has now besides being a talking head and college professor?
I have a general theory of trustworthiness that applies to Sabato: Never trust an analyst in a toupée.
Usually he’s a straight shooter but he’s been a little puzzling this year, and by puzzling I mean made comments more appropriate for MSM water boys than one who professes to be “neutral.”
Back in Sep he was among the “the election is all-but over.” Also said the debates won’t matter at all. Not sure how a professor of politics says that when they do sometimes matter a great deal... JFK-Nixon, Ford-Carter, Carter-Reagan, Bush-Gore.
Then the Gallup poll came out weeks ago that was D+++ showing Romney up and he totally dissed it in a tweet saying essentially Gallup has been the gold standard in the past but no more.
So I don’t know what data he has that everyone else is missing b/c real life + polls to confirm sure seems like Mittmentum to me.
He’s a lib.
But the BIG question is?.....
Is Larry SABATO a political Saboteur.?..
He’s a Clintonian center-leftists. He will occasionally toss the right a bone to portray himself as “fair” and “thoughtful”.
He comes across as “fair and balanced”, but in the end, he is a wishy-washy employee of the Commonwealth of Virginia. Too close to DC, and too long in academia to be trusted. A country club moderate at best.
for those of us working down ticket, i find that he seems unbiased enough to consult (seems to follow a quasi-historical analysis). but, like all poll pundits, he’s just another data point. for example, he seems to have a much better feeling for walsh and schilling’s races in IL then the other “pundits.” that’s probably because he’s more knowledgeable about us tea partiers then most of them.
go joe walsh (walshforcongress.com). go bobby schilling, too (reelectbobby.com).
Sounds like the guy who thinks he can continue to get these lucrative paid TV appearances by being contrarian and trying to sound smarter than everyone else.
I was a student of his years ago. As a college kid, he was admittedly a leftie but he moderated in adulthood [my observation]. Like anyone, he may be occasionally wrong but whatever public assessment he gives, he believes based on his own analysis. I don’t think he has an agenda outside of promoting his Center for Politics.
He’s a professor in Virginia and political analyst. He usually conforms to the leanings of whichever host he’s talking to. He probably can’t identify any Romney momentum because Romney’s been leading solidly for over a week.
Sabato was taken over by pod people about a decade ago.
He’s a commie.Next question?
Sabatonis is a fraud and Demmparty operative !
I can not believe Fix has let this certified fraud back on tn air !
In 2004 , Larry went around stating that W Bush can not be re elected based on his may approval rating !
Then he trashed Bush non stop until Nov !
In 2006 , Saboto was CAUGht hiding that he was working for Webb while running around doing all the cable and radio shows trashing Senator Allen .
He spread the Macca phony scandal until he was outed as a Webb operative !
A liar and fraud and Dem party scum.
