Weekly Standard reports that the Obama campaign has spent $15M on internal polling this election cycle.
Ha, I guess they don’t trust all those D+8 polls from the MSM either.
In my unbiased opinion (read my name), Obama is getting his money's worth from polling. If you want proof, look at how his campaign strategy keeps jumping around. He has tried a dozen different approaches, and the pollsters have come back to him each time with, "that's not working either, the voters still know that you're an incompetent liar, and they still despise you". We'll keep seeing new campaign themes and memes, like the eerily communist "FORWARD!" until the pollsters report back that one of them is working. He spent far more than he took in this month, trying to pin Bain on Romney, and now oopsie, Bain is pinned on Romney and the voters consider that a positive. He'll drop Bain and switch to another attack, probably one with no truth at all, but it'll be new, and his pollsters will tell him if it's working. Obama can't keep doing things in his campaign that aren't working, he'd run out of money. That strategy only works in governing, when he can pass the bill on to our kids, so his campaign needs pollsters.
