link to the polls please....how much over sampling?
This doesn’t have anything to do with Missouri anymore. This is all over the national press and Akin has given lines to Bambi and every Dem for weeks ahead. He blew it and that’s just how it is, and if it isn’t dealt with now, it will only get worse.
He needs to step down and the GOP needs to be seen having some party discipline, for once.
PPP showed Akin up 1% this morning using a poll overweighted to Republicans TRIPLE the 2010 elections. A Dem polling firm for the first time ever giving extra weight on the Republican side?
Give me a greak.
Akin is finished period.
No, polls this morning showed he'd lost his 11 point lead and was ahead by 1, well within the margin of error. His negatives lead his positives by 2 to 1 as well.
He had 11 points due to an absurd oversampling of Republicans by the polling organizations. More realistic levels show him getting trounced by McCaskill.
“Well, Polls this morning indicated he is still 11 points on Claire. Apparently, people aren’t watching and the ones that are understand how bad Claire is that they are overlooking this. What I am tired of is outsiders (Washington insiders) butting in Missouri. If they would shut up this would go away”
If you are looking at an 11 point poll you are looking at an outlier poll taken before he opened his yap.Give this 3 days of steady drumbeat and then you can come on the boards and start citing polls. The DNC is now raising money nationally because of this fool’s comments.As such, he has affected most national races.I certainly hope every outsider, insider, Missourian and non Missourian is blasting this guy to get him out.
No he’s not, that was from last week before he went full retard. An PPP poll that oversampled Republicans had him up by 1, meaning he’s down by 10-15 by Election Day as this will not lose traction and the media and the left will not relent at throwing his stupidity in everyone’s faces.
Check the dates on the polling...guessing that many of the calls were made before Akin made his idiotic comments on Sunday morning. There is at least one other poll which indicates 50% of Missouri voters believe he should go...I’m with them; if Akin remains in the race, he’s toast, and McCaskill wins re-election. Give her a second term, and you’ve got another Patty Murray in the Senate; a feckless Dim who will occupy the seat until she dies...and you can just write off our chances of re-taking the Senate, too.
Quite a price to pay for Todd Akin’s ego....
FALSE. He's up +1 in a poll that over-sampled Republicans by 9. Correcting for that, he's down 7-10 points now.
Akin is ROADKILL.
