“Don’t believe the polls. The media is trying to create a false reality in which Obama is actually electable.
I refuse to believe Americans are that stupid.”

I always believe certain polls (Rassmussen, Battleground). With the news of the last 2 weeks, I think we’re at Obama’s peak. So, I think (and hope) M&P will now chip away at that lead.

Don't. I can't say about Battleground, but the track record for Rasmussen from 2004, even in the final week when they actually try to be accurate since that's the only week customers pay attention to, was pitiful. They missed the spread in State polling by an average of 5%, and leaned slightly Dem in the process (though not as Dem-leaning as SUSA or Gallup).

Do not beleive either one.
ON MOnday , Battleground decided to change its formul and gave Obama 4 points in on day. The lefty pollster said she was guessing at a large YOUTH vote .
Go read that crap excuse at” Pollster.com “
Rasmussen did a similar formula change three weeks ago and gave Obama 6 points based on some guess ( no real reason given)
So both these tracking polls are cooked crap this year.
