Folks I’m sure we can debate polls forever. The poster gave us some info. The fact is we can win this election in part because many pollsters have Romney leading or tied. But some on here attacking every negative poll are being pollyannas as well.
So much of our political lives right now are shaped by "gee, what do other people think?" that when Romney wins, it must totally discredit these organizations as being part of the D machine.
His post is just stupid. The over sampling in these polls assumes a dem turnout similar to 2012 which was historic (as in out of the ordinary). It also ignores an energized republican base AND a huge swing of independents away from Obama or towards Romney. A reasonable assessment of the numbers is... well... reasonable. I’m watching some (many?) conservatives gnash their teeth because they accept the liberal polls at face value without doing any critical thinking of their own. What’s even more interesting is when conservatives read solid analysis and dismiss it choosing instead to embrace their irrational fear with no rational reason to ignore/reject the analysis. This poster was a troll and your concern is duly noted and telling.
