I notice that the graphic display of poll results is rigged to visually exaggerate Obama’s lead something like 210 to 182 when I FReeped the poll, but the bars are truncated at about 180 so Obama’s lead looks huge.

It will be interesting to see whether it switches to showing the whole poll result to scale once Romney takes the lead after a vigorous FReep of the poll, or whether that, too will be exaggerated in appearance.

I wonder what the graph would look like with Romney in the lead?

Good catch. I used to complain about that manipulation when our local schools/govt were doing their annual budget. They’d put the bar low to show dramatic need/increase when the picture taken in its totality was quite different.

Now it appears to be about 1,000 for Romney to 275 for obama.
