So, it’s not Gallup then?
Looks like the Johnson vote has increased by 3% up and taken directly from Obama/Biden.
I knew Johnson would siphon off 0bama’s pot smokin’ gay vote. Wouldn’t be the first time a ‘Johnson’ has gotten 0bama in trouble.
You’re welcome...the numbers literally went live about 20 mins ago.
Hahahaha...where is Larry when we need him?
Gary Johnson has been doing a bunch of public appearances - I think he’s been on every FNC show this past week - this would be consistent with a preference cascade - Obama is even losing his base (he’s just NOT cool anymore!)
Who is Johnson?
Say wha...?
I have to admit to being just as deeply suspicious of this outfit’s polling methods as I am of many others.
Case in point:
Their daily tracking poll for Oct 18
Romney 60% / Obama 39%
Their daily tracking poll for Oct 19
Romney 51% / Obama 48%
http://unskewedpolls.com/dailytrackingpoll.cfm
....whatever the real numbers, and even allowing for the normally-stated margins of error, they’re claiming an 18% swing overnight here? To Obama? And now an 8% swing back in the other direction? With the enormous daily swings they publish, then for sure, they’ll occasionally hit on a correct figure (stopped clock twice a day, and all that) but overall, their numbers just suggest poor, even amateur polling methods.
I don’t doubt that Romney is likely ahead right now. But some of the numbers on this site are as laughable as most of the other polling outfits around. Different, but just as laughable.
The Big Unit looks angry? :)
He was on RedEye and Whorealdo
I think all these polls are an interesting read, but I try to keep in mind there’s only one poll that counts, and it ends on the 6th of November.
I agree with your take on this one.
Do we know ANYTING about this QStar News outfit? Don’t get me wrong, I like their results. But I’ve never heard of them until the past month.

How can this be? Freepers have assured me that anything but a vote for Romney, is a vote for Obama. You mean that's not true?
Their website looks like it’s straight out of the Angelfire or Geocities circa 1998.
In other words, don’t believe a word of it.
