“The MSM will ignore it. You know good news like this, by definition does NOT exist. They will say they're right and this is the outlier.”

Hopefully by posting on FreeRepublic at least it stops us from having a heart attack today! Oh, and it should assure all of us that we are correct in the TRUE picture of this election...not one cooked by MSM. I will await to see the rest of the polls coming in. Have a feeling the Washington Post/ABC poll was anticipating this trend back to McCain and that is why their cooked up poll came in late yesterday. Not a good way to start the day...but this poll definitely is showing the MSM wrong!!!!!!

Must ever bear in mind that
most polls harbor 4 systematic flaws:

1. Overweighting Party ID;
2. RVs not as reliable as LVs;
3. Respondents not wanting pollsters to think they’re “racist” (Bradley effect);
4. Non-citizens ... multiple voters ... and the dead are not polled - but do vote.

Each might account for a 2 to 4 point swing.
Only the last one favors Dems.

Therefore, add anywhere from 4 to 8 points for McPalin
to get a truer reading.
