What a calming affect it has now that we can take off our tinfoil hats and start believing in all the polls. I, for one, am sleeping better.
Could it be that the pollsters have decided they were backing a lost cause and are now moving to protect their reputations. Methinks so.
Yes - bit by bit they’re changing the party affiliation breakdown to result in publicly reasonable numbers. Hence they’re getting closer to reality.
The polls have always said the same thing when you account for party affiliation breakdown. Math is a wonderful thing.
I think Suffolk is right - Florida will go to Romney fairly easily. I also think that Virginia will go to Romney by about 3-5%.
The big wild card here is Ohio. We need to lock down that state.
Even Long John Nate Silver is starting to back up in preparation to say “wow, the race really is shifting!” Most of these pollsters are real lowlifes.
