Is Howard Dean or Chris Matthews their pollster?

So, 8% of those polled still undecided this late in the game?

What the heck is needed for them to make up their minds?

Romney has ground to make up?? Laughable. I’ll take Ras and Gallup over this joke of an outfit anyday.

I followed this poll thoughout the 2008 election. They consistently had McCain within a point or 2 of Obama, then within the last two days of the election, they reversed course and said Obama had a late surge and put him up by 7. Seems like they’re game players.

Tiny sample. Not credible.

The gold standards (and only independents) are Gallup and Rasmussen.

Any media-sponsored poll is suspect.

With that said. Obama at barely 47 (there it is again) is in a bad place.

At this point, an “undecided” either doesn’t care, or more likely is not willing to tell a stranger what his choice is.

Notice that this poll has 19% of those of who self-identify as conservatives voting for Obama.

And it has the “investor” class evenly split.

But one thing I find interesting about this poll is that Obama has lost 14 points from 2008—those who voted for Obama in the last election but now are in the Romney/undecided category.

It’s not so much the D+7 that matters as to find out the basis for why some are using D+2, others D+7 and yet a few using D+9. Real Clear Politics only records a handful of reliable polls to compute their average.

Yeah many of us were hanging our hats on the daily Tipp poll as they were our only hope. About a day or two before the elections they completely pulled the rug out from under us and produced numbers that looked like every other poll showing a big win for the Kenyan.

Here are Obama numbers in the 6 most recent polls in RCP Avg.

46 Ramsmussen
47 IBD/TIPP
46 Gallup
48 ABC/WaPo
45 AP/GFK
45 Monmouth

That is a sure loser. Especially for an incumbent.

Twitter poll junkies say that IDB/TIPP purposefully hard-weigh everything including party ID to 2008 election, so Romney will never lead there.

Too bad IBD doesn’t fire their asses. To think that turnout will be D+7 is about as believable as thinking that Ron Paul might still with the election. Idiocy.
