The author is correct, the media is trying to suppress the anti-Obama vote, by making people feel that there is no point in voting, because Obama will win anyway.

I hope people won't oblige the media and will get out and vote and not give Obama a second term to finish destroying the US.

Going to be like 2 years ago

There won’t be any oversampling on November 6th...

Here in the north metro Atlanta area there are no Obama/Biden signs or bumper stickers to be seen anywhere.

"Voter suppression is a strategy to influence the outcome of an election by discouraging or preventing people from exercising their right to vote."

They used to do that to blacks in the South. Now the intended target is Republicans.

Ya think?? Polls are “mind benders” these days....not honest injun stats.

... the media is trying to suppress the anti-Obama vote, by making people feel that there is no point in voting, because Obama will win anyway.

Just like the KKK did for the Democrats back in the day, the media is doing it today. Now that would be a fun campaign advertisement; "In 1920 the KKK told the minorities that it was useless to vote Republican because the Democrats (Dixiecrats) were going to win anyways. Today the media is doing the same thing as the KKK." Think this would get the LSM's panties in a wad?

They know that oversampling and skewed poll results have a tendency to encourage one side while deflating the other side and believing they don’t have a chance. Don’t let this happen to any of you.

"The Marist poll out of Ohio that showed President Obama with a 7% lead among likely voters over Governor Romney used a sample that had 10% more Democrats than Republicans --a 2% greater advantage than occurred in 2008 at the height of Obamamania! I'll ask the poll's director, Professor Lee Miringoff, for an explanation of the sample on the first segment of today's program and will post the transcript here later today."

If Oversampling democraps was accidental (random) then you would expect they would occasionally have a poll result that oversampled Republicans.

I dare them to present the the results of such a poll broadcast all over as factual.

The most corrupt poll of the lot has to be the NBC/Wall St. Journal which puts Obama out of reach in Fl. Oh. & Va. Just goes to prove Rupert Murdock’s love is with the RATS. When the WSJ was purchased by Murdock many thought we’d get a conservative voice.....not!

I remember the Republican voter suppression scam the media tried to pull election night 2000. Midway through (about 10PM) I and other freepers tumbled to the fact that the media was skewing election coverage and vote tallies in hopes of discouraging George Bush voters. To discourage them from showing up at the polls because it was going to be AlGore's night. Florida was a lot closer than it should have been because the media effers called Florida for AlGore when the Western panhandle (conservative there) had not even finished voting yet due to being in a one hour later time zone than most of Florida

Same thing here in 2012 but done via polls to discourage all us conservatives and Romney supporters etc etc.  So we don't do things to get Romney elected such as put up yard signs, volunteer and speak with neighbors. So they issue messed up polls up until the last one or two before the election. Those are more accurate so the polling company can preserve some shreds of credibly for the next election merry go round so they can get hired.

That could also backfire. Obama supporters could also stay home believing that his win is assured and so they’re vote isn’t necessary.

[mware]

Believe me, I am a broken glass voter.Nothing but God will stop me from voting in Nov.
