The whole ABC polling samples are a joke.
“Thirty-two percent of registered voters in this poll identify themselves as Democrats, 26 percent as Republicans and 37 percent as independents, continuing a record four-year preponderance of independents in partisan preferences. The split is almost identical among likely voters, 33-27-36 percent, Democrats-Republicans-independents. Democrats outnumbered Republicans by 7 points in the 2008 election.”
OK now things start to return to normal.
Now Mitt get your VP out there!
Who in the world ARE the people who are so easily swayed by a convention? Are there really people who are so brain-dead and wishy-washy that a glitzy show can convince them to change their views for a couple of days and then they revert to their previous views? The whole notion of a “bump” from these events seems ridiculous.
Nope, I don't buy this one any more than the Gallup and Rasmussen polls. The numbers are too close. Look at the polls around the end of next week to see where we really are. (And start to know if we should buy more stocks, or more ammo.)
Never again will I allow the damn polls to so discomfort and destroy my morale as they did yesterday.
Screw them all.
ABC and Washington Compost poll? Given the credibility of these two DNC propogandist tools, as well as all of the other “polling” created over the last few weeks, I’d say these results are about as credible as a Ted Kennedy neck brace.
Ban the polls, if they won’t we can.
The real point is that there never was a real bump. The MSM and the dems manufactured a bump coming off the rat convention to make it appear Odumbarse was going to sail to a win. So just give up people. Obama wins. Yeah right./sarc
They did this and people fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
I guess that is why they do what they always do.
Because they can.
I guess they felt the ridicule these wild polls are receiving and for good reason. Their polls are worthless.
What a relief. It’s good to hear that the temporary bump of DNC rise of dems in poll voter sampling, and lowering of republicans in poll voter sampling, is now returning back to actual levels.
The rats ALWAYS have a lead going into the election because the liberal media make it so! A wise person should just ignore any poll and avoid the frustration.
These are national polls. All Obama did was energize those in the more populous blue states and cities, states he would win anyway.
The more important state polling never showed much gain, if any at all.
With the daily reality of rising gas and food prices (NOT counted in official "inflation", but very much noticed by most Americans), and very well-justified fears over that cracked health care law, any "bounce" from the hyper-radical DNC is ephemeral indeed!!!!
Polls have to be rigged in the rat’s favor to throw off suspicion because the voting machines (controlled by the unions) are rigged to tally up 20 votes for every 14 or 15 rat votes. Do this in a few key states and THE WON wins again!
Polling is reflecting Bill Clinton’s bounce out of the Democratic National Convention. You wouldn’t know that if you listened to most of the media, but the bounce belonged not to Obama, but to Clinton. Fortunately for the GOP, Barack Obama is no Bill Clinton. It must privately grate on Barack Obama.
Loving ABC/Wash Post today! (Don’t say that often....).
The concept that Carter was up +17 over Reagan is laughable looking back. Reagan won it by +9. That means the polls were 26 points off. This +5 to +3 business is only to keep people watching the news and to keep democratic voters somewhat interested. If they thought he was going to win they would have him up far more than +5. They know that the farther out on that limb they go, the harder they will fall. No story here people!
