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.
I agree. Now, Rush and some Freepers think it is to depress turnout. I don’t think so. Rs are NOT going to be dissuaded from voting, and Is aren’t paying attention much.
I offered this theory a couple of months ago: I think they KNOW Romney is going to win pretty big in the EC (310-320). It might be closer in pop vote, but he’ll win that. I think the media will say, “How can this BE? ALL the polls told us that Obama was leading? This must be Republican dirty tricks!” as a means of discrediting and delegitimatizing Romney’s presidency as they tried to do with Bush in 2000 (”selected,” not “elected”).
“That’s not a poll, that’s propaganda.”
That is what polling was always intended to be from day one. It was always propaganda because the general public believes in numbers. Most never look at the details and even those that do can’t interpret them properly.
