GWU/Battleground Poll: 049, M46

[goldstategop]

They're trying to shape public opinion. They're not telling us how people will actually vote next month, unless they can read people's minds!

The Poll sunday night & through the week don’t know about the last weekend

[goldstategop]

But every state that goes for Obama, they will post early to create that juggernaut image they want people to have. And like in 2000, they hope GOP voters in key states get so demoralized, they give up and go home. We all remember how they called FL for Gore on the basis of completely misleading exit poll data.

The only flaw in the ointment is the TV networks will call states early for Obama even if they are close.

Fox News won't.

[jstolzen]

Fox News won't.

Actually, not so sure about that anymore, ever since they veered far to the Left.

I'll state the obvious again:

The “Bradley Effect” will kick in to a much more significant degree than has been anticipated.

When the earlier results of the Clinton-Obama primaries in WVa, Ky, and other “ culture-sensitive” states are closely analyzed, it becomes evident that there is a reservoir of cultural voters out in the hustings — across the country —who simply would not vote for a Black under any circumstance.

Needless to say, these same voters would never reveal their feelings to any pollster — or for that matter — to even their closest friends.

What this percentage is of the total electorate is, in my view, the 64 dollar question, in this election.

My gut tells me it may be adequate to see Detroit in flames.

This is yesterday’s poll. Battleground does not release polls on Saturdays.

Yes it is, but I don't recall seeing it posted here before, just the "Obama by 14" polls.

FWIW if "Bradley" effect is just 2, 49-2=47 O, 46+2=46 M.

Undecideds always went to Hillary.

I think McCain will get the undecideds.

If they haven’t decided to support “The One” already they way he has been pushed down our throats, they aren’t likely to do so.

[Humbug]

Is all the anti-turnout propaganda going to work on the base? I don't think so. 1. this is not 2006; this is a Presidential election, and 2. I believe the base, by and large, is onto these tactics.

I believe so too but it is disconcerting when even some Freepers (who you think would know better) seemingly throw in the towel whenever a new Zogby or Rasmussen poll comes out. Conversely, though, there is talk that if Democrats feel they have it in the bag then a number of them may not bother showing up. It'll be interesting to see how it all shakes out.

As long as McCain has the BIG MO at the end (the last 3-4 days) then i feel very good about our chances. Hopefully they have a brilliant end game strategy ready to go.

[PaRep]

You are Correct

[Sooth2222]

oops!

FWIW if "Bradley" effect is just 2, 49-2=47 O, 46+2=48 M.

[Galactic Overlord-In-Chief]

I think some pollsters are going to stick to their inflated projections because they actually believe the electorate is going to turn out like that. So it wouldn’t surprise me to have kooky polls all the way to Election Day.

[ballplayer]

Im getting in line now !!!!!

A few weeks ago, I saw Brit Hume ask Juan Williams about the “Bradley effect”. He said the Obama campaign is estimating it to be about 5%.

How does one measure the fear of crypto-muslims effect.

[over3Owithabrain]

We should know about NH fairly early in the night correct? If McCain wins NH early in the night we will know it is going to be a very good night.

You are forgetting the media template my friend. When a Republican wins a state it isn't called until midnight. When a Democrat is even close to winning it is called at 7 PM!

[betsyross60]

My guess....it’s even higher! Of course the 5% could be an over estimation by their campaign.
