Ohio: Obama up 52 - 38 percent (So Hilarious It Makes All The Polls Easier to Discount)

Funny. I live in Ohio and I just polled my neighbors and they are all voting for McCain. That would make Ohio 100% for McCain, right?

[jstolzen]

The problem here is that only us “far right” bloggers know the truth.

We’re not their target audience. The uninformed, “malleable” ones are - and they outnumber us, a bazillion to one.

THAT’s the issue, gang..there’s a constant BARRAGE of “it’s all over but the Coronation” being played on EVERY media outlet, 24x7 non-stop.

And the sheep are gullible and persuadable.

How many of them will be discouraged, give up, or just say “oh, the heck with it. I guess it’s ‘all over’”?

[MittFan08]

The only thing that bothers me about this poll is that people who don’t know what a joke Quinnipiac is might get discouraged by it and not bother to vote McCain. Quinnipiac has apparently decided to throw away whatever remains of their reputation in an all-out push for Obama.

A look behind the scenes at Qinniapac Polling.

At this point I think it’s more than just compensating for fraudulent weightings. THe pollsters have become an arm of the MSM and will be just as responsible for the civil unrest the evening of 11/4 when the kool aid runs dry.

[HerrBlucher]

I think Obama up even 4 or 5 in ohio is laughable, especially considering his consistent overpolling in the primaries. But up 14 is essentially telling us....hey we pollsters are lying and we don’t care that you know that we will do it anyway because we just cannot help ourselves......Bagdad Bob was more reasonable than these polls.

[wiseprince]

I’m am fairly confident he takes OH and FL. This will come down to VA and PA

If Obama wins both he wins. If McCain wins one he wins

[albie]

All of them poll more dems than repubs. Can anyone tell me why?

[chimera]

Probably because in a truly random sample more people will self-identify as ‘Rats rather than as ‘Pubs. I can believe that, but not by the margins there numbers reflect. Unless there has been registration fraud on a massive scale (and there is some evidence of that in OH), there is no other explanation of such dramatic shifts in two years’ time.

[MittFan08]

Lookie here, now another midwest academic polling outfit called “Big Ten Polling” comes out of the woodwork with polls showing Obama up by infinity everywhere:

http://www.bigtenpoll.org/

I can just hear the phone calls between these two polls “if we release our bogus results on the same morning, we’ll make each other look really reliable and McCain supporters will be discouraged.”

LOL!

[johncocktoasten]

I would just point out to everyone where Obama isn’t right now. Ohio.

There was a release by Obi Wan (jim gerharty’s inside guy) saying that mccain was running ahead of bush’s performance in bellweather areas in ohio.

I have heard that he is outperforming bush by 3%-5%. Bush won by 1.5% which should indicate a 4.5%-5.5% MOV for mccain in OH. I would also point out that PA’s demographics are very similar to ohio’s. And Kerry’s MOV in PA was only 2.5%. If Mccain can outperform by 4-5% there, he could win that state.

All of those religion and gun clinging racists couldn’t escape the power and influence of duh-1? /s

[icwhatudo]

Have you noticed that every polling organization has played the role of “outlier” throughout this process? It’s like the “outliers” give cover to the other organizations’ manufactured numbers

VERY GOOD POINT

Did you also notice that polls that show big Obama leads are released late at night or early in the Morning to fill that days news cycle? When a poll like the AP one yesterday shows its all tied, that poll gets released at like 4pm.

[Yankee]

That poll puts the “lier” in outlier.

that makes it an Out-and-out-liar.

[housedeep]

this is completely offensive group of polling

i checked the site and they have NO information on party weighting.

we should contact them.

[alicewonders]

I pray that McCain wins & it shows once and for all how wrong these pollsters and pundits are!!! (Actually, I don’t think it is as much a case for how WRONG they are - it is more how DECEITFUL they are.)

[spectre]

We WANT them to think they are ahead.

[TNCMAXQ]

Hard to believe if Quinnipiac has zer0 up by 14 in OH that the margin in FL would only be 5. If it were that much of a runaway then I think the margin in FL would be even larger.

If McCain actually takes OH by a larger margin than Bush did then heads will explode on TV this election night.

I guess zer0 needs to head to OH and ask if he can buy him a huntin’ license!

[DemonDeac]

These polls are all over the place. I guess we shall see soon which likely voter models nailed it.
