From the article, an admission they are jimmying the polls: “If Romney was above 50 percent and withstood a month of bad press, that would be a real sign of resilience. But Romney’s not at 50 percent; he’s at 45 percent. And that essentially means that Romney holds the reliably Republican vote, and not very much more.”
But . . . but . . . but . . . the polls always have a GOP sample in the high 20s or very low 30s. How can Romney have the “reliably Republican vote” 45% if the polls show that same “reliably Republican vote” at 30%? And if other polls consistently show Romney taking a 10-15% lead among indies, hmmm. So that puts him by RCP’s idiot reasoning at 60%? And it would “be important” if he was over 50% and hadn’t dropped, but it’s not important if he’s at 45% and hasn’t dropped? So it should be, then, VERY important that Zero, who was in the 80s, is now in the low 40s to high 30s.
I think they just told us pretty much what the REAL election looks like.
There is NO truth anymore, everything has a bias to deceive!
You did some mighty calculations there! Kudos. If more voters where like you, we wouldn't be in this mess. YOU say alot about the type FR draws. You remind me of back in the day of the freepers' posts when I was 'lurking to learn'.
THANKS!!
And one of them could have been you!! I just noticed you are from the early ‘98 class. I started lurking in 10/98 and was a bit overwhelmed at all the knowledgeable posters. I said this is MY place! Since one can’t learn with one’s mouth open - I waited unless ‘05 to sign up!
