Wow. Even allowing for some assignment to the Is, this is (obviously) a 10-point Dem over sample to get a 1-point lead for Zero? And Romney is the one in trouble?
Thank you for this post, LS. Saw Larry Sabato on Fox News about an hour ago discussing this very poll (ABC/WaPo: Zero 49, Romney 48). Sabato said that we should only be pretty much concerned about "likely voters" from now 'til election day. He said this race is FAR from over.
I admit I'm feeling somewhat better today about the "Obama Bounce" from the 'RAT convention. ;-)
I’m pretty sure I read one poll description where it said they randomly called a set number of people, using some kind of software to determine where to place the random calls. I got the impression they then let the folks they poll self identify as to party.
In thinking about all these polls, it occurred to me that in recent elections even the EXIT polls have proved to be wrong. So no matter what they say, get out and vote.
Like I’ve been saying to you for days now...RELAX!!!
