“Pew is right - but they spelled it wrong.”

I could be wrong about this, but I believe within the past few days there was posted here on FR a “rating” of about a dozen or more polling outfits, which listed them in order of accuracy (based upon the 2008 election results).

Rasmussen was first, as the polling firm which published polls that most consistently matched the final election tallies.

And wasn’t Pew second or third on that list?

I’m a cold-hearted realist.
No matter how you slice it, this isn’t the best news for Romney.

Sorry. No sale. Pew is spinning right now. Here's the answer on why they ranked so well. Bottom line is they start polling fairly right close to the election.

You could be right, or not... I am not a poll watcher. I think anyone with half a brain knew that this was going to be an uphill battle. The press and much of the legal system is solidly behind BO, and we also have voter fraud issues to deal with.

But, I will vote for Romney because I have to and I will encourage everyone I know and many I don’t to vote for him also. I also have no problem with keeping up my writing letters to my local newspapers and TV stations about untruthful reporting. That and some extra time on bended knee is about all that can be done.

Much has happened just this last week and in some respects, it is a long time until November and a lot can happen between now and then. I do believe that most people that are going to vote have already made up their mind and it will just come down to who is able to generate the greatest turnout.
