Obama still is under 50% in every poll.
National Journal tied among LV and they’re using 2008 model.
The polling numbers are sheer nonsense. They go from D+3 to D+8, yet the results are statistically the same. It’s possible for Obama to be winning the popular vote, yet losing the EC.
The important points are he’s below 50% in every poll. Momentum is on our side. We keep harping on Romney, yet it is Obama who is struggling.
The MSM has a billion dollars in spending on pro-Obama “newsvertisements” and “aditorials”, yet he still cannot get traction. Only 9% of people contacted participate in the poll. That’s overwhelming self-selection.
Having said that, the significance of the very low poll participation rate (9%) should not be forgotten. If there is indeed a systematic skewing of the demographic sample due to the low participation (R&R supporters like me consistently refusing to answer polls) then the actual results may be very different, but not because the polls were inaccurate. The polls only predict what those willing to be polled will indicate.
Looks like the left wing media decided to give Romney 47 percent in every poll.
