The Poll results look fishy to me.
Of course they do. They don’t go the way that we want them too. Remember all the BS polls about Boxer being ahead but we dismissed them. The polls that showed Reid ahead and we dismissed those too. How about O’Donnell who clearly won the election hands down by SOME polls but we believed those because our guy was winning. It is the same thing over and over again.
RE #3:
Well said.
I believe the poll, which after all has Palin within the margin of error. And I think it would be ridiculous to rule her out at this point because of a few points difference in polls (no, this isn’t the only one) almost two years before the actual election.
Remember: moderates and independents are the last to make up their minds anyway, so they probably won’t actually be decided for another 22 1/2 months.
I would add that while it's true that PPP has almost all Democrat clients, it's also true that they were a remarkably accurate pollster this year. In fact, they may have been the only major pollster that accurately predicted an O'Donnell upset in the DE Republican primary.
There were no polls that showed O'Donnell ahead. There were vague references to non-existent internal polls that supposedly did, I suspect as a fund-raising ploy.
Those polls weren’t taken two years out. Any poll taken today for 2012, whether it favors my candidate or another, is meaningless.
Don’t try using logic. If the poll does not agree with my narrow view it is becuase of the way it was put, or something...
The polls did show boxer ahead, and who dismissed them?
dirty harry was 4-6% behind right up until the fraud and no where on God's green earth, can you show a single poll that had Christine O'Donnell ahead.
I know because I donated to her {multiple times} even though I knew she was a long shot.
We all like to see polls that re-affirm our position but that doesn't mean we all do the ostrich walk.
