I do not think this is primarily to demoralize us or keep us from voting. I think the purpose is far more sinister.
The Dems know Romney will win, and will win big. They are trying already to de-legitimize his administration by setting the stage for people to question whether he won.
I can hear OWS right now: "How did HE win? Obama was up in every poll!!"
Oh, they’re trying both all right. They’d be happier if they could swing the vote, but absent that, they’ll cry foul as you say.
On another note, but a similar one, the Post poll of NC was considered an outlier because it showed 30% of blacks voting for Romney. Yet, with black Southern preachers hammering Obama for his recent approval of gay marriage, maybe that 30% number in places like NC isn’t that far off? The God/Jerusalem fiasco at the convention couldn’t have helped either with that same group of black voters.
It would be interesting to find that same drift present in other polls, particularly in the swing states.
Obama and the Dems will do massive voter fraud and if they report the polls as the truth today how can they account on election night he wins big .
As it is they show the polls skewed for their messiah and on election night the polls with their fraud will be more or less correct
I think it is much simpler than that.
They simply lie. Their main weapon is the lie and they do everything through the lie. I was listening to Hillary Clinton today about the murder of the Libyan ambassador and she was saying that the picture of the dead ambassador being dragged around represented Libyans trying to get him to the hospital. At the same time that she was lying through her teeth, CBS was reporting that the Libyan authorities had told the mob where the ambassador was hiding so they could go and kill him. In other words, this was a plot to get the ambassador murdered and it succeeded. Hillary knew this information. How could she possibly not know? Still she just lied as naturally as possible in her press conference trying to make people think something else. What really amazed me is how matter of factly she did this. These people do not know the difference between a lie and the truth as long as it suits their purpose. Overweighting polls is simply an extension of the lie. It is that simple.
