I think four factors will come into play on Nov 4 that may prove the polls off by quite a bit:
1) the “Bradley Effect”
2) Dem registration numbers due to Op Chaos
3) Republicans hate the Leftist Media scum so much, I hear a much higher % of people than normal are hanging up on pollsters — most of those are probably McCain voters.
4) I think a greater than usual number of people are lying to pollsters due to pure hatred of the Obama media. If they called me, I would either hang up on them or lie to them.
I have a feeling ALOT of women for Hillary are gonna see this ACORN fraud and think on Nov. 4th they COULD have been voting for Hill if not for bambi and vote for McCain.
I am signed up for several online survey groups (Harris Poll, etc.) I have gotten several political surveys lately. As soon as I answer an online survey about which way I am voting (McCain), the survey immediately ends. No further questions. I have a feeling these online surveys are automatically slanted against Republican voters. Not that I am saying they are influencing the Gallup polls or other ones in the news, but I find that very interesting.
Great points, but there are even more GOP-to-Dem switches because of Op Chaos. There are lots of independents who registered Dem, and GOPers that don’t listen much to Rush, but wanted their vote to count. This would especially be true of NEW registered voters.
And I would agree that McCain voters are more likely to hang up on pollsters. Especially after Charles Gibson’s incredibly ignorant comment that “most polls” show Obama ahead by double digits.” (The man is on drugs, I promise you).
Does anyone know what Caller ID says when a pollster calls? I never answer anything I don’t recognize. I’m sure many others do the same thing.
I was polled a couple elections ago and LMAO (lied).
After it was over I LMAO!
