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.

Romney is going to win! Obama is going to lose! And you can take that to the bank.
Most pollsters may be waiting for several days after this last debate, hoping Obama gets a bounce.
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.
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.
Oh brother. We have too many polls right now. Every 5 minutes another poll. I would not bet money on this race at all. The polls are all over the place. Right now FREEPERS are saying the polls are 100 percent accurate. three weeks ago, FREEPERS were saying they were all trash. I wonder what changed.....
Three factors. One, even the skewed, D+6 (or worse) polls show Mitt up by margins that are well outside the error margins. The msm just doesn’t want to report that. Two, as others have predicted the pollsters are starting to show more real data, just a taste, because eventually they are going to have to release more realistic predictions. Otherwise, next time around no one will believe, and thus won’t pay for, their services. Three, RR have looked real good, real solid in their debate performances. Biden and obama have effectively self-destructed with theirs.
Even skewered polls need to come around to reality when the election nears else Never be taken seriously again.
They went the same place as the pictures that Jim Lehrer used to show at the end of every single News Hour program on PBS of military members who gave their lives. Starting on Jan 20th, 2009, these pictures just disappeared.

The polls either disappear or they are frozen in a space/time continuum in which the results are from early September. Some of the polls changed hardly at all after the first debate from where they were weeks earlier.
