Isn’t it interesting that the media only talks about outlier polls if it hurts their Messiah?
Any poll that is positive for Obama is accepted as pure gospel, no matter how ludicrous the internals are.
Gallup Likely voters Oct 14-18 2008 Obama 51% McCain 44%!!!!
No actually Gallup is merely the farthest out there. All of them show the same basic trend EXCEPT for the Junk Media polls.
So the seriously polling shows the same thing Gallup does just to a lesser extent.
This is the latest wishful thinking from the Left. After feverishly pimping polls all Sept. They now want to ignore the same polls to cling to polls that tell them what they want to hear.
State polling lags behind national polling because they are not done as frequently as national polls. Over the next 10 days as the state by state polls fall into line with the national polls, what will be the next Leftist rationalization to explain away why they are losing?
Interesting though, that all the way back to FDR, they have always picked the winner except for Truman-Dewey and Carter-Ford.

Romney said in that private meeting that became public, that 47% would have a hard time voting for him since they were on welfare and all those benefits pay more than working - money, medicaid, cell phones, etc.
LoL light loafer Andy. Most polls are over polling Dumb-Ds by a county mile, and under polling Independents lower than the Marianas trench.
Romney is going to win this easily. You got 18 days to deal with it - your impending loss.
Now that Gallup is using Likely Voters rather than just registered voters the left has their panties in a twist. Golly gee it must suck to be them
Gallup may be an outlier but it isn’t oversampling Ds to make the race look close.
I guess we’ll find out next month who is right but the shift that we’ve seen since the first debate this month has yet to be fully be reflected in state by state polls.
Every one else is assuming this election will be like 2008. It won’t be and every election is unique - as this one will be.
1 - is royally screwing up;
2 - setting up Romney; or
3 - knows something the other pollsters don't know.
“Gallup stands apart”
Not exactly. The recent PPP/KOS and UPI polls show Romney with a significant lead more in line with Gallup. Also the state polls are moving Romney’s way. Not sure why it keeps being suggested that Gallup is the only poll showing Romney with a substantial lead.
Axlegrease needs to take Gallup to the woodshed again or
Barrybuttnugget could wake-up a community organizer again
one chilly November morning.
Things to keep in mind...people have had four years to decide whether or not to vote for Obama...if he isn’t polling well above 50% now it’s unlikely he’ll pull that in the final weeks unless Romney makes some big error or something big comes out.
