I think the Hillary voters (PUMA'S) are the silent vote in this election and they will be heard on Nov 4th. I think you are on to something...I take that back, I'm positive you are on to something...

The article errs in attributing the polling differences to oversampling of Democrats and under sampling of Republicans.

Rather, it's the over assignment of those polled to the "independent/undecided" category.

As long as the pollster has a reasonable idea of what percentage of the electorate belongs to which party it really doesn't matter how many of each party get polled. All that will happen is the pollster will get a better number from one set of voters than another.

If, on the other hand, the pollster takes all his Democrat respondents who might vote for McCain and calls them independents, but does not also reduce the percentage of Democrats in the total sampling universe, he simply gives each Obama vote greater weight and thereby distorts the results.

These guys all know that 20% of white Democrats will not vote for Obama under any circumstances. That's about 12% of all Democrats!

By calling them independents they give Obama as much as a 15% lead over McCain.

What say you?

I say that if I believed polls from reputable pollsters I'd think Obama was up by 13 in Pennsylvania. If I'm not going to believe them why should I believe some unknown, unnamed poll just because it slams Hillary?

I’ve been saying this for a LONG time, and been greeted with skepticism by some on this forum.

However I used a number half as big as this.

Maybe it’s the Hillary effect. Tell the pollsters one thing. Vote another.
