It's Over! (Media Polls in the tank for Obama shows that he is actually losing)
American Thinker ^ | 09/28/2012 | By William L. Gensert

Posted on 09/28/2012 5:15:06 AM PDT by SeekAndFind

Give up -- Barack Obama has won. With the election only weeks away, it is clear from recent swing state polling that Mitt Romney has lost this election. According to the Quinnipiac numbers, in the battleground states of Ohio, Florida, and Pennsylvania, the president is ahead by 10%, 9% and 12%, respectively.

Romney can't win. Just ask any journalist or newscasters. He is toast -- stick a fork in him.

Bull...

If anything, the closer we get to Election Day, the more apparent it is that Obama is not only losing, but losing big. The Obama campaign, and by "campaign" I mean members of the media and polling organizations, is trying to convince prospective Romney voters to believe that all is lost -- in which case, they hope, we will stay home.

But just because they say so, that doesn't make it true.

Everyone knew from the outset that Obama, with his sad record of continuous failure on almost every front, was going to air out his inner bitterness and envy, and campaign negatively. But did anyone suspect that his sole hope for victory would rest on trying to suppress the vote of his opponent with naked media bias and polling -- most of which assumes a higher Democrat turnout than in 2008, when the electorate, many Republicans included, swallowed whole Obama's vision of "hope and change"?

People on Fox, just like everywhere else, after a while get tired of being made fun of and ostracized by the “really smart people”.

Seriously, it's a race to the bottom, and the polls, when they change, do so in quantum fashion ~ first one of them lurches down, then the other, and the pollsters rejust the situation and toss out more and more nonresponsive nonresponses (the "go away don't bother me" folks).

I predicted over a year ago what the polls would look like if the candidates managed to become more unpopular.

And that's what's happening.

Romney's big problem is he doesn't have a campaign yet ~ and Obama's is simpler ~ he's a total doufous who's been hornswaggled by a bunch of desert bedouin ~ I think they call themselves A-rabs, and that means "thieves" (according to their enemies of course)

Even his bedbunnies are turning on him.

I wouldn't be surprised to see barely more than 100 million voters show up and pull the lever for president this time.

There is no honest broadcast or cable network. Do not get your news from any of the nets. Find honest sources on the internet and monitor them for change in ownership or direction.

Lies everywhere.

He got 69 million votes!

Uh, no. 62 million. A lot of fools, but not 10 million more fools than McPain.

It’s funny how Bozell doesn’t go after Fox’s polling as being biased, but he will CNN’s when their polling shows similar results.

It's not the results that Bozell and other Conservative critics go after, but the sampling models which predetermine the ratios of demographic groups that are surveyed. When 2012 polls presuppose the same turnout ratios as 2008 - while ignoring 2000, 2004 and especially 2010 - it is a clear indication of intentional skewing toward Obama. The level of Democrat oversampling is absurd.

The last few elections they have started to pre validate everyones candidate.

I think the voting should not be one day. It should be a month and you can change your vote at anytime during that month. It should be in a database where its public and open.

There is no reason for this to be hidden!

Four years ago we were hearing a lot of the same “the polls are biased! The lame Republican is gonna win!” rhetoric.

Pollsters are in the business of being _correct_, and I don’t mean politically. If they say Obama is going to win, you’d best take that at face value and get busy convincing voters to pick Romney, or to stay home if they won’t.

Uninspiring candidates don’t win.
Amazing what just buying someone a phone will do.

Just one of the reasons so many big money men were loath to finance any Republicans this year

The purpose of Liberal Agenda Media, (LAM), Polls, is to:
1.) discourage Conservatives from voting in an up coming election;
2.) discourage Conservatives from financially supporting their candidates;
and 3.) publicly promote the idea that most voters agree that Socialism will make America more successful.

Thus, LAM Polls are analogous to a dam holding back the floodwaters of REALITY from those who still bother to read, listen or watch the LAM.

Since 35 % of Americans will have the opportunity to vote early this year, the longer the LAM can keep the LAM Polls skewed, the greater their chances of fooling the early voters.

Somebody needs to figure out a way to do polls that put some sort of weighting factor for intensity of support.

Fox ranked number 13 in polling accuracy in 2008

Indeed.

When your opponent says “you are losing”, you don’t say “no, you are losing”, you shut up and WIN.
