” Three days out from election, the CBS/NYT poll had Reagan up by ONE point. Reagan won by TEN.”
That’s the key.
Carter had us in a horrible situation at that time and STILL the pollsters had it “too close to call”.
We look back in hindsight and we wonder how people could have been so stupid to feed such garbage to their viewers. And you have to wonder what was the reaction of those that were old enough to vote back then seeing someone like Reagan TIED with Carter just before an election that netted a landslide so epic that Carter quit before the sun went down.
Dont fret polling. Do your part, keep your nervousness to yourself, Dont spread garbage you get in your email, on blogs, and on Twitter to others, and just show up on Tuesday.
As always...the MSM will play down GOP leads...and pull for their hometeam.
My brother tells me that on the day before the election in ‘80...he was a student at UW, Madison...he remembers the Wiconsin State Journal healine...”It’s a tossup”. Some tossup.
Reagan won in a huge landslide...may the same be true on Tuesday.
