The latest CNN national poll of likely voters, which shows a 49%-49% tie between Republican challenger Mitt Romney and incumbent President Barack Obama, is either absurd, or very good news for the GOP--or both.
Romney has gained 3 points since the last time CNN ran its poll, in late September, when Obama led 50%-47%. That is good news for the Republican ticket, especially since the poll was conducted after Hurricane Sandy.
Yet there is something odd--and even ridiculous--in the poll's sample: of the 693 likely voters in the total sample of 1,010 adults polled, "41% described themselves as Democrats, 29% described themselves as Independents, and 30% described themselves as Republicans."
In other words, the poll is a D+11 outlier. It presents a picture of an electorate that is far more pro-Obama than it was in the historic 2008 election. That is extremely unlikely.

“For all the bedwetters :)”
Describes most reporters at CNN.
I’m going to go back to Breitbart tomorrow morning. Seems like a couple of trolls have been hitting up their boards saying Obama is a shoe in because of over sampled Dem polls, Nate Silver, and Intrade. It’s going to be real interesting to see if they show up on that thread.
I used to post there, but I’ve forgotten my p/w.
CNN had the exact poll results for the Walker recall blow out !
How sadly awful their push poll group is .
I don’t think much has changed since 2010 when there was a massive shift to the GOP in the midterms.
My conservative estimate is a five percent margin of victory for Romney (52-47) with 300-325 electoral votes.
CNN D +11 Poll
Boy, the polls over the last 72 hours have been back and forth like a belly dancer’s hips.
What is the deal with these? Are they getting their data from people in the state hospitals?
I would assume that some of the fluctation was due to a small Sandy bounce Obama got that is now evaporating.
I have a few ideas....
To create news
To keep from disheartening Democrats which would lead to huge losses downticket
To begin delegitimizing Romney right away
Latest CNN/MSNBC Poll: shows a close race with D+60 sample.........don’t they know that people look at the sample numbers? The polls can never accurately predict voter turnout and we all know that is what wins or loses elections. I am hoping and praying for another “Chick-fil-a’ turnout day that sends Mitt to the White House with a MANDATE!
I grabbed a six pack for Tuesday. Planning on watching CNN MSNBC all night.
sleep for me will ya?...because this stuff is making me crazy...
More crap.
BTW, I will stop pinging the Poll ping list on Wednesday.
I know it has been busy.
These heavily skewed polls are necessary to create the plausibility needed to cover massive voter fraud.
I saw on another thread that Pat Cadell reported on FOX that he sees movement towards Romney in the internals of various polls. Did anyone else see that and if so, can you confirm? I trust Cadell to read poll entrails as well as anyone.
As for this CNN poll, the D+11 seems absurd but Romney leading indies by 22 likewise seems too good to be true. The top line is consistent with many other polls. Many polling outfits can’t be trusted - PPP and Marist for example - but I sure would like to see Romney leading in one. maybe Gallup tomorrow.
