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.
No in 2008 Conservatives were pointing to a supposed "Bradly Effect" that assumed white voters were afraid to tell pollsters they were voting against a black candidate for fear of being thought racist. That "Bradley Effect" was either no existent or very small in 2008.
In 2012 Leftists are claiming a "cell phone effect" to explain why Obama cannot break the magic 50% mark in the polling. Being inside the margin of error, as most polls show is bad news for an incumbent. He should be farther ahead.
BTW, they historic record shows a pretty sever left ward drift in pre election polling
Past time for the Sour Grapes crowd here to stop whining.
Even the candidates they supported are busy working to elect Romney. Sorry your egos was bruised because the GOP did not agree with your candidate of choice.
Get over it.
“Pollsters are in the business of being _correct_, and I dont mean politically. If they say Obama is going to win, youd best take that at face value and get busy convincing voters to pick Romney, or to stay home if they wont.”
Then why did Reagan, who was 7 points behind Carter the week before the election, win in a landslide, hmmmm?
