Where did all the polls go?
For months we were treated to a daily barrage of the latest MSM-skewed polls showing how Obama was clobbering Romney in polls from major and minor news outlets, as well as polls run by universities and pollsters.
The minute Romney starts to clobber Obama in even the most highly skewed polls, nearly ALL polls have now virtually disappeared from the news. Where did they all go?
It seems that a few still squeak by, but those are from pollsters and running polls is, in fact, their only job.
bathroom break?
Oh its always been like that when the Dem is in front, its poll after poll after poll, when the republican is in front, its crickets. Pew seems to have vanished, Survey USA is hardly doing any polls this year, in 2008, it was wall to wall, even PPP has been slowing down......
Perhaps it was a George Soros scheme to pump up Obama’s ratings,
so he could make a bundle by betting on Romney when he was at 20% on InTrade.

Long time passing?
Long time ago?
IOW...ain’t gonna happen. ;o)
It’s funny how it works...
If you happen to search Google for “polls obama romney” the results page shows item after item of articles proclaiming obama in the lead.
They are all old polls, nothing new is popping up to replace them in the indices.
I smell a landslide coming and a lot of libs are going to be blindsided when it hits them.
Romney is going to win! Obama is going to lose! And you can take that to the bank.
Dems are not spending on public polls except occasionally, why is that? Maybe they know there is no hope for them, they just know, so why spend a fortune on polls, Dems really only spending on internal polls.
Same thing happened in 2008 with McCain, basically GOP stopped polling, they knew 1 month before it was over, same here, Dems know its over, the experts would not be worth their salt if they did’nt, hence why we are seeing the reality setting in now 2 and a 1/2 weeks to go, the reality is they do not want public polling in a lot of states because the public picking up on close races in Conn, PA, Oregon, NJ, Maine, NH, Minn, Wi, MI, will just hasten and further the landslide coming.
Where are those reliable Pew polls?
Most pollsters may be waiting for several days after this last debate, hoping Obama gets a bounce.
lets see, 1st debate, romney bounce, 2nd debate ryan bounce, 3rd debate, looks like another Romney bounce, can’t imagine, number 4 will do anything, its too late.
At this point in a presidential race — with less than 30 days remaining — the “registered voter” polls are no longer acceptable and only “likely voter” polls are considered. This is more time-consuming and expensive for pollsters and limits the number of those actually conducting the polls.
try 18 days left a hell of a lot of early voting going on. Romney could not have time this better as this is the time most voters decide and most absentees start rolling in.
Just did that. Now Google is listing more up to date information. Wonder if it has anything to do with their missing earnings? Maybe they learned that credibility matters.
If the leftwingscum running Google are getting a clue, that’s (a) surprising and (b) an indication that obama is toast.
JMHO, of course...
Has anybody figured out if this is realistic and what happened to the huge ‘lead’ in one day, if so?

MSM fake poll time ran out.
So now there are no polls till next election.
The left wing extremists are not so happy
“For those who live and die by the polls at the tail end of the election cycle, the past 24 hours, and the next 24 hours, are going to be nothing short of excruciating.
That is because, for all practical matters, it will be at least that long until we get any hint as to whether or not President Obama’s well-received second debate performance has managed to alter the trajectory of the presidential election. Despite the fact that we are greeted with 35 new bits of data today, all of them (except for the House of Ras, of course) are samples that were either partly or wholly conducted prior to the showdown on Tuesday.
Therefore, all we have now is far too much reading into single-day samples in tracking polls, and hints dropped in tweets like this rather pessimistic one from PPP. Of course, the margin of error normally inherent in single-day samples makes overanalysis of them very, very dangerous.

Also, a few weeks ago, word came that exit polls will not be done in bunch of states.
To be honest, Dems never have to spend much on polls, because the marxist-media contributes in kind, by doing the polling for them. The internal questions are always based on “what would the Democrat like to know?”
The Dem-media counts on 10-20% of the voters being know-nothings that just want to vote for the winner. They use polling to drive the heard. Which is why Obama has been proclaimed the winner up till now. Now we <3 weeks left, and the polling has to tighten up, if they are going to be able to claim its accurate next time. But that doesn’t mean they have to report it.
I think Obama has been losing big time from the beginning, and they’ve just been reporting the opposite.
