The pollsters are going all out trying to prop up their boy Barry and make this a race. I smell shades of 2010 myself.

I think it is a credible pollster who is using flawed and mistaken turnout assumptions. We will find out in two weeks.

Very clever reversal of their own stupid math.

Why does IDB even associates itself, much or less lend their name, to a polling outfit like this is beyond me....same goes for the Wall Street Jourrnal? How they could ever partner up with NBC never made any since to me!!

If you’re calling me a concern troll, perhaps you should read the post first. How’s that sound?

It’s a post showing how even Obama’s best national poll (O +3) is actually showing Romney leading.

Suppose you’re correct. Suppose, just suppose, hypothetically that you’re wrong and that the Communist from Kenya wins. What will you say then?

I personally think no poll is meaningful. Some poll questions are skewed to elicit a certain response. Sometimes the sample favors voters of one party or the other. Sometimes people answer questions by telling the pollster what they think the pollster wants to hear. And then there is that pesky margin of error.

Someone once said the only poll that counts is the one on election day. No need to get into an uproar over an unfavorable poll. And for that matter, I wouldn’t break out the champagne over a favorable poll either.

I almost quit reading after the first paragraph but quickly jumped to the last sentence. lol then I read the whole thing once I realized it wasn’t a panic post.

+7 Democrat is all you need to know about the quality of the Poll.

When I saw your headline, I assumed it was Steelfish. He's probably duplicate posted it with his usual troll concern.

I agree with your analysis; but it's kinda like shooting (steel)fish in a barrel. Has TIPP ever actually been right?
