RASMUSSEN SUNDAY: O 49% R 49%... DEVELOPING....
(Excerpt) Read more at drudgereport.com ...
I feel Rasmussen weaseled out.
“Christie helped out Obozo just enough to close the gap.”
That is definitely true. BUT:
The slobbering press photo-op with Fat Boy worked great on the day it was taken and the next day, but reality has now set in. People are suffering and no help is getting to them. People are realizing that a president coming to tour the disaster area is not in itself an answer to the problem. If ANYTHING, this demonstrates how unfairly Bush was treated by the press during Katrina. The polls are still reflecting the lame-stream slobbering, feel-good photo-op. The polls are about 2-3 days behind what the perceptions of Sandy really are.
I see momentum building in OH and PA and WI. The lame-stream wants to ignore the massive 30,000 crowds that Romney/Ryan are attracting, while at the same time Zero holds rallies in a barn to 3000.
Ignoring R and D: If you had to choose between which position you wanted your candidate to be in, which side do you suppose is going to win? Which side looks relaxed and confident, and which side looks desperate and is talking about ‘revenge’ voting?
Good research. This could be another Chick-Fil-A election.
If Obama wins, or even if the election is close, I'll never read Hillbuzz again. However, I'm not going to succumb to Fear Porn or negative Eeyores until then.
How can Romney be tied in or only slightly behind in traditionally blue states, be running away with red states and a bellweather like MO, and be tied nationally? It doesn’t make sense.
And again for emphasis...

My understand he is polling today for the last day, publish tomorrow. No sense in polling Monday to publish Tuesday.
I’m only talking about Hillbuzz, not any of the other stuff we hear. I got burned by them in 2008 and learned my lesson.

You’re right, advantage Republicans. The size of the crowds turning out for Romney and high levels of enthusiasm are on our side. And therein may lie the key to this election.
Also agree that a Katrina-like reality is setting in as people are watching the on-going disaster and dislocation in the northeast AFTER Obama’s photo op.
Dittos!
Afraid so, although the factors of who has yet to vote, who has already voted and for whom, and the fact that responses to polling are at about 9% where conservatives tend not to respond may lead to a huge difference between polling results and reality.
Here's to hoping for a repeat of 1980 and a total rebuke of the socialist regime.
That’s a big 10-4!! If RR are elected I pray that they clean house! No more Rhino’s and congresscritters who run on conservatism but succumb to the far left! Boehner is at the top of the list. He needs to go. No guts! And he cries and caves in all the time. Time for him and folks like him to go!
“If R turnout is high we win”
This is the key, Pat Caddell was on Fox yesterday discussing polls, and his final statement was the summary, and that was just tell him the voter break down R/D/I and he will tell you will win. In other words, these polls can not tell you how many people are going to turn out and vote. They have an idea with early voting, but not actual numbers for each candidate.
There is that big unknown out there for pollsters that they can’t answer. That is why the results on Tuesday can’t be projected through polls.
We are just going to have to wait until Tuesday and hope Rep enthusiasm will carry the day.

A decisive day for our country, that’s for sure. But I strongly feel that Republicans have the enthusiasm edge.
The race could still very will end up being 53%R 47%O....
Kind of ironic if Obama gets 47%
“But I strongly feel that Republicans have the enthusiasm edge.”
I agree, I think its an undetected undercurrent that will surprise people on Tuesday.
Agreed, I have been more immune to fear porn and eeyoring since reading Hillbuzz.
I think his logic is good, the polls have been weakened by the trend away from land line phones and towards cell phones. This is exacerbated by the increasing reluctance of people with land lines to answer the phone. You can thank telemarketers, pollsters, and robocalling for that. Many have caller ID and answering systems and screen out unfamiliar numbers. I do it here all the time.
As for trusting Hillbuzz long term after the election, that is a different story. I know he is an ex-Hillary guy, a dubious background. Whether he supports conservative causes in the future is yet to be seen. As for now, I greatly appreciate his chewing up and destroying Democrat propaganda. He is right that there are fear mongers in the conservative press and he knows, like the rest of us here, that the so-called mainstream media is nothing but a propaganda arm of the Democrat party. There is one “conservative” news site that regularly passes through propaganda from AP, so I ignore it.
I think the biggest indicator is, like you pointed out, the demeanor of the two candidates. In short. 0bozo is acting like the loser he is and Romney is exuding confidence, and I add, a great deal of class, something 0bozo doesn’t have.
I stick with my story of a Romney win anywhere from 275 to 350 EV. I just hope the Reps take the Senate as well. Then we can rid ourselves to the Obamacare monstrosity.
Somebody referred to it as the “Red Tide”. :)
Excellent question.
And if I remember from catholic school many, many years ago - both are sins!
>>The press is setting up a claim of a stolen election should Romney win.
I think the purpose actually is if they show Romney winning by 5% before the election, another 5-10% of Dems with think it’s worthless to go vote and Dems will lose MASSIVE local and state coattails.
