PEW report: polls are skewed partly because Democrat respondents are lying to pollsters

I would love for them to be right, and I believe some of their predictions, but I don't have enough confidence in their methodology to accept all of their conclusions. "Ohio: 51-48 Romney -- Late momentum and great ground game win the Buckeye state for Romney" - lovely sentiment, but "late momentum" cannot be justified mathematically. NJ a two point loss, and NM and MI for Romney also strike me as irrational exuberance.

I do believe them on Romney carrying CO (probably), FL, NV, VA, NC, and MO, as well as some of the other swing states, maybe even PA, if nothing major goes wrong in the campaign and if the Dems do not expand their voter fraud program in those states. However, it also comes down to turnout and weather. Bad weather in the swing states would be a big positive for the candidate with the motivated voters - Romney.

ya mean like when they call a Conservative talk show and lead off with “I’m a lifelong Republican, BUT...”?

How dare anyone lie to the liars. What is this world coming to?

that’s the problem with rats.

most of them hate the Bible and call it a “myth” because of the miracles..........

and they raise more dead every election year than Our Lord ever did.

Pew has actually said unequivocally that some people who speak to pollsters lie!

Just to further throw monkey wrenches into the poll process, I am a lifelomg registered democrat, but haven't voted democrat since 1960. I always lie to polls.

My reason is simple. I detest the the reality that the weak of mind and mental horsepower use polls as the measuring stick of what defines the "winning" side. So they they want to vote the perceived winner, breeding overconfidence, but triggering brain cells at the polling place and switching choices and actually voting the issues.
