If you look at the polls, there is an oversampling of Dems almost across the board. Also more and more Republicans refuse to answer their phone when they see it is a pollster.

Internal polling is showing far different numbers for many of the races then the corrupt MSM polls are showing. You can make the questions you ask, get your the answers you want from a lot of people. Kind of like 'do you still beat your wife?' kind of questions. Also you have to realize that polls on weekends tend to favor Dems and have for years. Note a lot of these polls came from weekend polling to the glee of the MSM.

Only poll that counts in on election day! That means every last Republican needs to get out and vote and show the pollsters they don't have a clue!

I read this all the time on FR but I haven't seen anything that substantiates it.

A lot of folks keep saying that, but Raz says he uses equal numbers of Dems and Republicans in Va. And for some of the other polls I cannot find the data on sample composition. I can't assume from no data that Dems were oversampled.

Also more and more Republicans refuse to answer their phone when they see it is a pollster.

Let's say that is true. How do we explain that with that the case, Allen was ahead by three or four points from August to a week ago and is now behind by three or four? Not answering the phone doesn't work as an explanation unless Republicans just started doing it a week ago.
