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.....

Any time you are using statistical sampling in order to estimate the qualities of a larger group, there is the opportunity to take multiple samples and present only the results that support a particular view. The samples will have random variation, so if MSNBC takes 10 polls and the average is a tie, there will be one which shows Obama ahead by 3 points. That is the one they will choose to make public, rather than the one which shows Romney ahead by 3 points. Sorry you don’t like FREEPERS, maybe you should post comments at a different site.

A lot of people have not been dissing them except for the fact they have been heavily skewed Dem. If they still are Obozo is in more trouble than he knows.
Our local news this AM spent all their time talking about Obozo leading in IA, and WI. Not a word about the Gallup poll, or OH, and we are on the OH border.
You can’t even see what’s happening in your own neighborhood without getting slammed by their bias.
