well, after Tuesday, we’re done with polls for a while, as we all see the actual results.

And we’ll know the answer to everyone’s questions about how accurate these polls really are. Lotsa folks here think that these polls had the numbers manipulated to show higher support for Obama. And that polls were inflated in certain states such as Pennsylvania on behalf of Obama. We’ll soon know the answers to all these questions.

Don’t forget that their are a lot of PUMA voters, a lot of Operation Chaos Republicans still registered as Dems, a lot of conservatives who refuse to talk to pollsters, a lot of independents who are lying to pollsters about Obama, and a lot of unregistered voters probably lying to pollsters and saying they are registered.

Polls are skewed this time. VOTE!

I would like to believe you but I have to ask, how can so many polls be so wrong and for so long. I don’t think the American people are voting for Obama so much as they are voting against the status quo. Obama just happens to be there and to reap the benefit.

OK, my last "poll post" for today: From the British Times Online:

___________________

"British polls are properly and carefully weighted, taking account of what is known as the spiral of silence – the tendency of voters for the less fashionable party to keep their intentions to themselves. British pollsters weight their results to allow for these shy voters. US pollsters do not."

"It isn’t unreasonable to believe that there could be a Republican spiral of silence. And that US pollsters are all missing it."

This comes out of the British pollsters total meltdown in 1992, when they ALL got it badly wrong.

But, I’m guessing that you probably haven’t heard about ANY of this on CBS, NBC, MSNBC or ABC.


You have not heard this on FOX news either. Sadly.

I assume you’ve seen this “PUMA”-based analysis. One can never know when he/she is self-deluding, but given the KNOWN presence of 18 MM PUMAs, I find this analysis pretty credible. We need only about 1 MM of them, dispersed properly, of course. I find this a whole lot less far fetched than 0bama being ahead by ten and twelve points, which is utterly absurd.

The polls do have meaning. I just can’t say what they mean without getting my post zotted.

The polls are pure communist propaganda to mislead the sheeple.

The polls are wrong every election and they ALWAYS favor communist democrats, never republican socialists.

During Rush Limbaugh's "Operation Chaos", a good number of Republicans switched to Democrat in the primaries so that they could vote for Hillary over Obama and make the nomination much closer than it might have been otherwise.

If I understand the process correctly, those Republicans aren't allowed to switch back until the next election so the amount of registered Democrats is definitely overstated and this may be one of the factors in why the polls have been so favorable to Obama.

So it could be that this "Operation Chaos" ends up having an impact far greater than it's original intent, which was merely to disrupt the Democratic nomination process. I guess we'll find out tomorrow night.

As of Friday 31st October the early votes in Colorado:

Dems....%37.846....488,575

Rep.....%36.087....465,869

Ind.....%26.066.... 336,511

Total votes casted...1,290,955

So how does this match up with Rasmussen, Gallup, Survey USA, Red Star Tribune, ARG, CBS/New York Slimes, et al, party ID models? So where is that +10% spread?

Hard proof that the pollsters are playing with your minds.
