Ok, what concerns me is that Pew has been very accurate in the past 2 presidential elections. Yes, we hope they are wrong. But we must also face the fact that they could be right. Maybe this country is so screwed up already that a Hurricane and a few photo ops could trump everything else. If that is the case, this country is already lost.
Dude, lots of people have been very “accurate” over the years.
You cannot manufacture being right with polls. You just might get it right or not.
Zogby was once the “best”, now he is on the bottom.
I think we are down to hoping that a lot of people who say they are going to vote for Obama just don't bother to go to the polls. I think the energy is on our side, unfortunately the sheer number of ignorant sheep favor the Democrats. Realize that if all American adults voted Obama would win in a crushing landslide. Even if just registered voters cast ballots Obama would win decisively. We are counting on huge numbers of the urban dependent class and young mushheads to stay home. This is why the Democrats always push early voting and Republicans usually try to limit it. It gives the left more time to get their low information base voters to the polls.
As best I know Pew is a fairly accurate pollster. We just have to hope they get it wrong this time.
Well, an impact is likely the Sandy bounce, but it’s concentrated in Obama states anyway:
“Another notable gain for Obama, perhaps reflecting Hurricane Sandy’s effect on the race, comes in a region he was already secure in: the Northeast. He has increased his lead over Romney from nine points (52%-43%) to 21 points (56%-35%) there over just the past week.”
On in 2008 and that was s easy election and Obans folks were handing out their internals to fellow travelers like Pew !
Pew is a farrrrrr left wing wacko front group .
