Change your rose-tinted glasses and deal with a mature reality. We can’t one day support a poll because Romney is ahead and the next day attack it because it shows our side is not ahead. Being childish is of no help either to Romney camp or the intelligent analysis of the poll at hand.

[Nifster]

we cannot one day read a poll that is heavily skewed left and believe it and then pretend that the skew doesn’t mean anything. go away until the election is over.

Why don’t you spend your time getting the vote out for conservatives

[Chunga]

Dems - 34%
Reps - 25%
Ind - 36%

Here's your intelligent analysis

The poll is horseshit

You are missing my point....Of course I know R+R won’t win every swing state, or every poll. But you must derive a pleasure in posting the negative news for R+R. Your negative news posts far outnumber positive news for Romney/Ryan.

We cannot believe in polls when they're 'pro' us, and hate them when they're 'against' us. However, we can use our brain in looking at every poll and evaluate them ourselves: are they using additional weights? Are the weights appropriate, by taking into account factors that are important to voting? Etc...

We know that the environment in 2008 was toxic to any Republican in general, and 0bama was considered novel. Hence, any poll with weight the same, or even worse, give more weight to the Democrats, would be considered suspicious since it maybe overestimate the Dhims. Similarly, while 2010 did happen, it was not a presidential year. So, we might not see the same Republican turnout this year, and any poll using the same weight as 2010 maybe overestimate the Republicans.

So, use your brain too. Consistent knee-jerk reaction against anything positive for Romney or spreading anything negative for him without careful evaluation of the news is also suspicious.

No, but show the breakdown of who is being polled, that is the necessary context.

You're right. We here at FR analyze EVERY poll in light of party samples. This one points to a big Romney victory. Romney according to this, Gallup, and Ras now with a correct sample all have Romney up 3-4. Thanks for posting more proof.

BTW, Ohio universally does 1/2 point better for Rs than the nation as a whole so this reaffirms that Romney wins OH.
