Wow. Even allowing for some assignment to the Is, this is (obviously) a 10-point Dem over sample to get a 1-point lead for Zero? And Romney is the one in trouble?
New ABC/Wa Po poll has Zero up 1 (49-48) with this split: D33 R23 I 37 (!!)”
That’s not a poll, that’s propaganda.
That kind of manipulation means Romney is waaayyyyy up. Maybe 8-10.
My take is that these traitors in the msm are praying for Obama to clean Romney’s clock in the debates and then the wishful numbers become more of a reality. In the interim they want the Republicans dispirited and democrats motivated. In addition I see Romney drifting to the center and that makes me think his camp feels secure about the base vote. Meanwhile Obama’s camp is running to his base hard.
Just asking a question here. I don’t believe the voter pool is only 23% republican. But are some of these pollsters claiming they randomize their method of contacting people, and then the party ID is whatever they happen to get from that “random” sample?
If so they can claim a clear conscience because, hey, that’s what people told us.
Or do they select the repub/ind/dem breakdown of their sample?
"Why, why, you've oversampled the R's...that's not fair, that's not accurate". "Yeah, so what's the problem? Haven't you been doing the exact same thing with the D's"?
It might not stop them from continuing to do it but it would give a lot of exposure to their 'thumb on the scale' methods.
OStinkBugula and DemoRat propaganda just like I’ve been suspecting.
Their sampling does not reflect reality which is a nearly 5% advantage for the GOP in voter registration. They are just trying to get nervous nelly weak minded people in our party to get discouraged and not show up to vote. We must get faces like flint with this crowd. This election is war and for the survival of the republic. May God curse these evil vermin and bring them to utter defeat.

Thank you for this post, LS. Saw Larry Sabato on Fox News about an hour ago discussing this very poll (ABC/WaPo: Zero 49, Romney 48). Sabato said that we should only be pretty much concerned about "likely voters" from now 'til election day. He said this race is FAR from over.
I admit I'm feeling somewhat better today about the "Obama Bounce" from the 'RAT convention. ;-)
