I think both sides want people to believe its close to get people out to vote.
I think you are exactly right. I truly believe Romney wins comfortably..and the "pollsters" and "watchers" have known it all along..
“I think both sides want people to believe its close to get people out to vote.”
I am interested in the psychology of voting. Let’s say the vote is a seemingly foregone conclusion and the media polling accurately reports that Obama is 3 to 4 points down.
Will that make a democrat voter ( not an Obama zealot ) more determined to vote or more dispirited and less likely to vote?
And what if the situation were reversed, and Romney was behind 3 or 4 points in the polling?
The question basically reflects on whether the typical voter is more of a pessimist or optimist. I have to admit I was surprised last time that the evangelical vote did not come out and vote for Palin.
