I’d like to believe him but I remember all the reasons posted for not believing the polls in 2008, and McCain lost.
So I hope he’s right, but I’m not counting my chickens before they’re hatched.
I don’t pay much attention to polls.
They are used by press organizations for a couple of reasons. First, they displace real news. Instead of reporting news, you report what people think about the news.
Second, by the way you set up the polls and report them, you influence the way people think about the news that you aren’t really reporting.
And then its third reason, for a propagandist, the polling tells you how well you’re doing in terms of shaping public perceptions, if your propaganda and PR are working, and if you need to refocus your efforts and how.
Every time I see the same old MSM polls, I’m reminded of a quote by Dr. Richard Kimball in the Fugitive: “You switched the samples!”
At this stage of the game it really looks like pure MSM psyops: demoralize GOP turnout by making a Obama victory look “inevitable.”
We can’t either despair or get overconfident. My best guess is that Romney is up by about 4 or 5, but we have to push hard to the finish and not let them get us off our game.
I would think that the 2010 election turnout has a lot of relevance. More than 2008 or 2004.
I know I’m pi$$ed enough to vote for a RINO like Romney to keep the incompetent socialist out of office.
Romney even has a shot at taking Connecticut, so the toe-sucker is making some sense here.
Polls created for media consumption are not designed to be accurate. They’re designed to attract attention. The polls that we never see belong to the respective parties and are considered proprietary information. They spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for this data, and I guarantee you they’re not going to share that info. Watching a campaign is a bit like watching a Texas Hold’em tournament on ESPN. You never know what cards they’re holding until the final call. The only clues come from how they’re betting.
People are lying to the polls?
My house ONLY has cell phones, no land line. Both of us will be in line first day of early voting. My grown 3 children only have cell phones, the 5 of them will be voting for Romney. We don’t get polled!!!
I agree with Morris's conclusion, but "Under State.?"
Dick, it's one word -- "understate." I know, it's tough running a one-man show, but hire an editor part-time.
Under which State?
