I think these polls are intentionally manipulated to be close to the 50% level so the independent middle will think it is close. When we get closer they will start to break higher for O and lower for Mitt and the independents will follow the trend. Correct me if you think I am all wet.
If the price of gas continues to increase and the economy remains stagnant or deteriorates Obuggery will lose and lose bad. Besides I believe we will see alot more scandal stories to hit the admin which will hurt too.
You are all wet. Unless of course you can explain how this conspiracy works? Does the pollster for CBS/NY Times secretly consult with Scott Rasmussen? Does the polling firm for Fox News contact the ABC/Washington Post people to make sure they use the same secret polling formula to produce a similar result? Do they all meet at some secret place like a polling cartel and discuss this? Are the various methodologies they use all fake?
Sorry, there is no conspiracy here. It's going to be a close election. It's close now and it will probably be close in November.
I became convinced long ago that ‘independents’ and ‘moderates’ claiming to ‘vote on the candidate, not the party’ are more interested in voting for the eventual winner and enjoying that imaginary sprinkle of stardust than in any real election issue even if such a vote conflicts with their livelihood, morality, religion, etc. These are the same people who suddenly discover their city has a pro sports franchise when said franchise reaches the championship game or series.
It’s a juvenile, simple-minded and counter-productive act but it happens every election.
Actually Romney is stronger with Independents and they typically swing away from the incumbent according to what I’ve read. I hope they’re not wrong.
