On Fox News Sunday, Brit Hume said the poll would show Romney +5. He was very wrong.

No, it is 47%
Alright, Obama is going to win, make you happy now?
Wait ‘til Brit wakes up and sees this. I think he WILL comment. He doesn’t come across as someone who enjoys being made a fool of.
Karl Rove-LOL!
The lead that Gov. Mitt Romney has carried in national polls since the first presidential debate should be reflected oon in state-by-state polls — indicating a potential Romney victory on election day, Karl Rove said on “Fox News Sunday.” Rove added that as the state polls reflect the national mood, Romney may begin to see states such as Minnesota, Michigan, and Pennsylvania, come into play for his electoral vote count.
“This poll is a forgery.”
it does not appear to be a forgery to me....go here, then click on “Complete poll results”:
http://www.politico.com/polls/politico-george-washington-university-battleground-poll.html
...then compare that URL (Oct 22), with this URL (Oct 29):
http://images.politico.com/global/2012/10/politico_gwbgp_oct29_questionnaire.html
...they appear the same...the only differnce being the date, and the missing pg 12 with the disclaimers
>> It is amazing how many people can’t wait to post a negative poll despite the fact that the two major polls have Romney with a 5+national lead.
Especially this guy.
Check out his posting record. You **never** find him posting threads, or even comments, on the Romney +5 polls.
He only shows up on the “obama is ahead” poll threads, where he can troll his anxiety bait past the school.
What really opened my eyes to his angle is his posting of that Battleground chart, implying their predictions in the past several elections are within tenths of a point of the real numbers.
Thanks Arthurio for pointing out that that last column in those charts is NOT actual poll numbers.
That’s EXTREMELY disingenuous, profit_guy. Despicable!
If the poll generally doesn’t get released till 5am how did you get it so early?
“Alright, Obama is going to win, make you happy now?”
don’t be an idiot, as i said above i absolutely despise Obama, i hate the traitorous son-of-a-bitch, and i am certainly no Steelfish!...but when i see a ‘bad poll’ by a pollster who i trust and is highly respected, yeah it concerns me...i would like nothing more than for it to be wrong
...let’s hope that Rasmussen and Gallup stay on track for us, because if they don’t then even you may be concerned
“Especially this guy.....Check out his posting record. You **never** find him posting threads......That’s EXTREMELY disingenuous, profit_guy. Despicable!”
What they hell is the matter with you?! I have posted my conservative viewpoints here for years!, as per my stats: “You’ve posted a total of 77 threads and 513 replies.”
SO, let me get this straight, because I posted a poll that concerns me, that I must be a troll?!?!....you’re “Despicable!”
...and well i truly hope this poll is wrong (or a forgery as two people on here have suggested), if it turns out to be correct, you owe me an apology
I just checked over at the DU, and they’ve been watching this thread and are laughing about your “concerns”. Just FYI.
I assume you got your 49/48 numbers from page 5 of the link you provided. I’m not sure how the Battlefield folks determine their final reported poll results, but what they report almost never matches the raw data from their poll results. It is often close, but never the same. I’m sure they adjust for whatever weighting they determine is accurate based on other factors in their raw data. Wait and see what their actual commentary for the poll is before losing too much sleep.
Ah, taking hysterical flak. I’m over the target.
LOL! FR is quite precious....
>> you owe me an apology
Hey, no problem! I won’t even wait until we find out you’re wrong; I’ll give it to you right now.
I am truly sorry that profit_guy is a despicable concern troll who posts dodgy polls, and presents misleading data in an attempt to lie about the reliability of the polling company that produces said dodgy results.
I am furthermore genuinely sorry that profit_guy delights in maximizing negativity and anxiety on Free Republic, because the (mostly) fine conservative men and women here deserve better.
There... is that accceptable?

Here are but a FEW examples you would have come across had you did some research before you made assinine accusations:

...additionally because I am a Rasmussen subscriber, I often post his internals in here for all to see...so next time do a little bit of research

Yeah, I sound like a real troll.
I dunno... the exceptions prove the rule?
If you’re not a troll why don’t you...
a) Stop being a bedwetter and think/act/speak positively about RR’s chances for a change?
b) Stop posting that misleading graphic that you use to infer Battleground’s precision when it does no such thing? That REALLY infuriates me, and although you were called on it earlier, you have yet to explain why you posted that lie.
Just sayin’.
