Pollsters will keep moving the finish line to keep viewership....
The only thing that counts is get out and do our part.....
Done here in Fla......
Yep and they are scared right to their Jackboots.
If there is an actual tsunami-red wave, the Republicans will end up with at least 60 senators and the House majority will be historical. I really can’t see how it will turn out differently. It will be the usual break down of thirds with the independents going strongly for Republicans.
Oh they know all right. They know exactly what’s going to happen. They just don’t want to say it. They just don’t want to admit it’s going to be a Republican blowout.
“It’s hard to poll voter fraud.”
Wait a minute—just contact all the precinct vote counters and ask them if they plan on cheating!
;-)
No truer statement. Americans have shown many times they can do a late about-face at election time. Remember, half this country likes the status quo.
Polls Schmolls!
FORGET POLLS!
I realize everyone wants to know the future, but even Jesus said “But about that day or hour no one knows, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father.”
I realize “that day” isn’t election day (although “election has something to do with it), but the truth is no one knows who will win or lose. Its all just a guess.
An “educated” guess sure, but most liberals are educated. “Climate scientists” are educated. How WRONG can they be?
Ignore the “polls” and just GO VOTE!
I can only speak for myself, but I would not tell some unknown anonymous caller, about my political beliefs, or who I want to vote for.
We have the secret ballot for a good reason.
And as others have noted, polls seem to have devolved into shaping opinion, as compared to objectively reporting opinions.
I know many people here on Free Republic, have deconstructed certain polls, as to how they over sample Democrats, for example.
Others have noted how so many polls during election campaigns show Democrats with comfortable leads, but then tighten up closer to election day, as the pollsters want to show the final polls to be close to the actual results. The implication being, that liberal pollsters want to show polls early on which show Democrats far ahead, so as to discourage political opposition.
I’m sorry, but anyone who tells you the GA governors race is “Neck in Neck” is a liar or a fool.. I don’t care who funded the poll.
Wow, another English 101 argumentative paper, that says nothing because it establishes a narrative that doesn’t allow for common sense. It’s a pollster complaining about the shortcoming of his own industry because he is biased and therefore can’t allow the many other factors that influence the vote. So he called it big for Obama and became a household name for political junkies. There were others who said McCain would win, if he did, you would hearing from that guy not Nate. There are outlier pollsters every election looking to hit it big just like Nate did, cause they have nothing to lose. Nate is 100% demo biased and hasn’t called it right since 2008, but since this election he isn’t going to like, he’s making excuses for his crummy polls with that little glimmer of hope that some of those hokus pokus 81 million voters will come through again.
“They just don’t want to admit it’s going to be a Republican blowout.”
Agreed—and the article gives you all the clues you need.
They admitted they have the tools to smell a “blowout” even though polling has major issues in close races.
It is easy to deal with nonresponse rate issues—just adjust as how the callers would have responded in previous year’s races.
They know what is coming...
Remember, half this country IS BELOW AVERAGE IQ.......................
Yeah, but it has a ‘sentence enhancer’ in the title.
The other reason pollsters want to show Democrats with big early leads is to help sucker Democratic donors.
If they showed big Republican leads early the donors would spend their money elsewhere (hookers and coke, probably).
;-)
Try this: leftist pollsters have no eff’n idea what’s going to happen because they are not pollsters. The are part of the Democrat’s propaganda machin e.
But the simple truth is that, no one knows for sure ... how many votes it will take to elect some one, nor how long it will take to get there.
I don’t do polls, but I will be voting tomorrow!
Over under from month ago would be a 25 seat house pickup and 51 senate seats. I would base it on that.
