"Thanks again, Mr. Flynn, but enough with the polls, please!
You may wish to refer to improperly weighted polls as "blivets', A blivet is defined as ten pounds of horse manure in a five pound bag!
Save some ink, write a single line ie; Gallup released another blivet today! We Breitbartians will know exactly what you mean!"
The only hope the MSM and Team Bambi has is to depress GOP turnout by making them think Romney is going to lose.
Romney and Ryan have to keep them motivated to deny Obama 4 more years, but a side benefit may be that dumb as a brick leftist voters might stay home thinking O has it in the bag.
This is just the start. This group of debris is going to pull out every corrupt, filth, thuggish, unethical lying, and evil trick possible to get Obama reelected.
/sigh
The reason virtually ALL the polls have a large Democratic skew is because a lot more people identify themselves as Democrats now. It sucks, but there it is. The pollsters who do the Fox News polling even painstakingly explained this phenomenon with the release of one of the their recent polls. That doesn’t mean that more people will automatically favor the Democrat or Republican generic ballot (Rasmussen has the Democrats leading by 2 on the generic ballot right now), it simply just means when asked a LOT more people identify themselves as Democrats.
Whining about the polls is a waste of time. First, they are likely correct or at least within the ballpark, and second, because it is better to run as if we’re behind anyway.
1) there’s no breakdown of preference by party so they don’t tell you how the Independents voted in this poll...
2) Q 90/page ten; “do you think of yourself as a rat/Republican/or what?” with Indy leaners rats = 40% GOP = 43%...don’t know what to make of it...
3) q 93/page ten; “in political terms are you liberal, moderate. conservative?” libs = 22%, conservatives = 39%
This pollaganda could backfire on the Obambi Media. The Silent Majority wants Obama gone. They’ll be doubly sure to vote if the think Obama has a chance.
The possibility that Obama might be ahead (these polls are skewed but they are not totally 180 off from reality, Obama is not behind), motivates me and I hope motivates other patriots to pitch in and pitch Obama OUT.
REPEAL AND REPLACE OBAMA. He stole America’s promise!
“Today’s RCP Average of presidential polls show Obama leading Romney by a little more than 3 points.”
That is just it. With all the garbage polls out there it is going to skew the RCP average.
RCP incorporates outlyers in their average so they are easily manipulated.
They also include OLD polls in their average so it is influnced skewed by old pols and becomes a lagging indicator.
Personally I don’t bother with RCP averages. They are as honest and internet voting.
Ok, so Obama got his post-convention bump, who wasn’t expecting that?
I do believe the events in Egypt and Libya will give a quick end to the bump and get things back to where they were pre-convention.
It’s all going to come down to the debates, maybe more so than any previous election.
The ridiculous over sampling of democrats in these polls showing Obama winning makes me wonder if they’re not engineered to cause riots when Romney wins?
The election will be decided in 10 states so they shouldn't be reporting results from the other 40 states as if they are meaningful.
Obama’s personal favorable rating also improves — up two points to 53 percent since the conventions. Romney’s favorable rating holds steady at 49 percent.
.....
The poll finds the president has a significant advantage on most issues and candidate traits. Voters trust Obama more than Romney on foreign policy (+15 points), education (+14 points), Medicare (+11 points), health care (+9 points) and terrorism (+8 points).......
The Fox News poll is based on live telephone interviews on landlines and cell phones from September 9 to September 11 among 1,056 randomly-chosen likely voters nationwide. Likely voters are registered voters who are considered most likely to vote in the November presidential election.
Fox News poll: Obama ticket has edge after conventions wrap up(By Dana Blanton Published September 12, 2012 FoxNews.com)
Just watching both sides operate I can see Democrats united appearing confident Obama will win and Republicans (public figures) looking/sounding pretty uneasy about how Romney is doing, except Rush of course. Time is running out.
not good is it
