Certain media polls indicating Obama is ahead of Mitt Romney by as much as 10 to 12 points in swing states seem to spell disaster for Romney, but what they really say about the Obama campaign may just surprise you?
The absurdity of the skewed sample models in those polls is one thing, but what conservatives need to understand is that polls skewed to heavily favor Democrats logically point to one very important fact - Obama is in big trouble.
For one thing, Democrats and the liberal media are taking a huge chance by touting polls showing Obama up by double digits in crucial swing states as if these polls were totally valid. Obviously designed politically to depress and suppress Romney voters, these media driven and heavily reported polls can also backfire and suppress the Obama vote. Naturally, if you support Obama and are treated every day to wall-to-wall news headlines showing Obama so far ahead of Romney in the polls that the election is basically over, then you're less likely to go out of your way to vote in November. So there's a really fine line between turning out your voters and turning off your voters when using polling data like this. In this case, it is probably safe to say that internal Democrat polls show low enthusiasm and turnout expectations for Obama supporters across the electorate demographic, so the skewed poll strategy is worth the risk for the campaign.
This risky strategy also indicates that internal Democrat polling is probably more in line with Rasmussen and Dick Morris, showing that Obama is running even or maybe even losing ground to Romney in swing states. Conventional political wisdom makes this evident because a campaign wouldn't waste time and money in states where their candidate is up by 10 or

If you are ahead by 10 points in the polls, why would you be campaigning in Ohio yesterday? Obama’s kneebenders must think we are stupid? Forget what they say, look at where they go.
Why would you skip important meetings at the UN to go on campaign trips if you are so far ahead?
Don't be fooled, these skewed polls only show that the Obama campaign and the liberal media are running on empty and desperate enough to try anything to win this election.
Fortunately for America it's not going to work.
“Furthermore, these polls showing huge leads for Obama are not showing any signs of discouraging Romney supporters. In fact, this aspect of the strategy may also backfire and intensify fervor and enthusiasm for Romney just like the attacks on the Tea Party did in 2010 and the attacks on Governor Scott Walker did in Wisconsin turning out record Republican and conservative voters.

We need to keep at it and keep our eyes open. Make sure our family members get their absentee ballots and vote, so that they don’t get “help” from any volunteers from our union thug friends.
It still amazes me that after all the bus loads of union voters brought in to the Scott Walker election and all the other attempts at vote fraud, he still won.
That’s good advice for any politician. Words are cheap. What do they do and how do they vote?
Not such a huge chance. If they're wrong and it doesn't turn their way, it will all be forgotten by the next election cycle.

dont underestimate dems ability to turn out voters.
i have no doubt the corrupt media is skewing their polling to provide the answer they desire,
just like clinton/obama skewed the truth in Libya in devoted alinskyite fashion,
we battle not against flesh and blood, but spiritual darkness in high places,
Pray for God to rebuke these liars, its the only chance we have,
I wonder what Mitt’s internal polls show? Thoughts?
Amen.. Its in God’s hands.. there’s a remnant of people in this Nation that still believe.. But I have felt for a long time that Obama is God’s punishment for this country abandoning Him, and not driving the Leftists out of power, (and out of the country, ultimately).
We continued to let the atheist socialists get a foothold in every position of power..The schools, the courts, media, elected office. Now we are reaping what we have sown.
I think Romney is up 6 in NC and he hasn’t stepped foot in there for awhile.. Yea, they are probably tied or maybe a little behind..
That is a very real possiblity.
obama has been operating outside the law for his whole term and no one with any power is standing up to him.
And if he did this, his media would go right along with it.
There was a story here on FR a couple of weeks ago....
seems that the Romney campaign allowed some of his internal polling on a couple of Obama strong states to be leaked to Obama group via a neophyte reporter....
....this reporter was "so pleased with himself" on getting internals from Romney ...but didn't understand the internals...
...when the Obama group took a look at the details they were devastated.
The huge chance they are taking might be causing OWS types to riot [like the spoiled brats they are] when Obama loses the election. Worst case is they muddy the waters enough to find a way to steal the election.
