feh...It sure seems that the polls are tweaked, so that it appears that Obama is more popular than he really is.
Yeah, right, like this poll has any inkling of what an unbiased sampling is or should be.
This is more like a “random walk” poll than anything that has been rigorously controlled as to sample size, internal tests of reliability, or ratios relating to real-life participation as voters.
Rush pointed out on his show today that the closer to election, the more nearly reflective polls become of the realities.
And we haven’t even had any debates yet.
Oversampling Rats??? Ya think????
Media sure is making a lot of the “Clinton hot flash” Dem sluts got from the convention.
But eventually it will get out that Clinton ain’t running, just that fumbling bozo, and they’ll go back into their doldrums.
If they continue to play this game, they are in for a rude awakening come November.
From the top of page 5:
BASED ON 441 REGISTERED DEMOCRATS — (SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 4.5% PTS.);
BASED ON 397 REGISTERED REPUBLICANS — (SAMPLING ERROR: +/- 5% PTS.)
............i also find it VERY hard to believe that 50% of the country believes Obama is best on issues of the economy vs. 49% for Romney...it’s very hard to trust these polls
How can Mitt be losing if he’s up by 14 among independents?
NOT POSSIBLE
Where was this poll taken, the upper west side of Manhattan? Across the bay from SF in Marin County? West Los Angeles? Give me a break CNN. Your poll is a fraud.
If you assume 33% Independents with the reported 6% of them undecided, then the CNN figure would work out if they presumed a 39 to 28% Dem to Rep ratio. Since others are reporting that the Pubbies actually outnumber Dems, that represents at least an 11 percent overage.
If you assume an even number of Dems and Reps, then the number comes out to a 47 to 51% split in favor of Romney.
If Mittens is really pulling numbers like 54-40% among independents, the Zero people are going to need a change of underwear.
Maybe they are seeing numbers like that. It might explain this avalanche of pro-0bama polls, as the Zero campaign calls in all its MSM favors, and asks for skewed polls in order to try to move that number away from Mitty and back towards Zero, as they try to spin a perception that Zero is winning when he's really getting clobbered.
No way is this poll even close to reality.
If all the polling put together is to be believed at all, Romney is down no more that 5% at this point. That is not a bad place to be. He just needs to start gaining and keep momentum increasing through October.
When I see a CNN poll where they report a poll sayiong that we did a sample 33% Independents, 33% Dems, 33% GOP and 1% minor parties and it gives an favorable number to Obama...then I’ll believe it... but the polling data is always in the D favor.. so it is BS!!
Great!
Get to work, Romney!
Win those debates and go all out to win it.
feh...Romney leads among independents, 54%-40%. That’s a blowout number
Nothing else needs to be said.
Oversampling dems will account for dem dirty tricks, e.g. voting by illegals and the dead. Not saying it’s right but it may be more accurate.
