What about the “Cheating Effect” for Barack Obama, and I mean everything possible for Obama to cheat his way to victory on November 4?
Not to mention a 'rat who couldn't get elected in Utica <snort>
An interpreter of the political scene, Zogby had a brief stint as an aspiring politician himself in 1981, when he ran unsuccessfully for Mayor of Utica, New York. He describes himself as a Democrat, while his polling firm is "independent and nonpartisan."[1]
Perhaps to scare the hell out of voters who see B.O. with a double digit lead . Scared voters will definately GOTV....
Zogby went from Obama 49.4%, McCain 44.1% to Obama 49.9%, McCain 51.1%; both numbers are higher, but McCain is a point higher, while Obama is just .6 higher. This indicates:
1) Undecideds are dwindling, and breaking for McCain.
2) This would still look bad for McCain per Zogby, as Obama is already at around 50%. However, other pollsters such as IBD also have undecideds breaking for McCain, but additionally place Obama some distance away from 50%.
Yep, Berry failed to move up in the polls, look for the Democrat ground game panic to start. They couldn’t get all their vote cheats counted, and now they’ll be desperately pursuing any vote they can get their hands on
We got a strange call the other night. Someone called and wanted to do a “poll.” They told my wife that they already have enough female respondents and wanted to talk to “the man of the house.” Since I was the only male here at the time, she handed the phone to me. I said, “Hello” and was greeted with the hang up tone. I guess they did their “poll” for me. True story.
My mind tells me to forget the polls at this point. But I can’t stop posting them.
My name is Bcrago66, and I have a problem.
My guesstimate has an 8 point night dropping off tonight. I think This would have been an 0+2 or 3 day being added into the mix.
Because their own FOX poll had a spread of about 8. Don’t want to bring attention to the obvious and look foolish.
Thank God and that is very cool of you to inform me of that. If it were any other state it would still be a concern but not VA! That’s the state keeping some of us up at night.
Oh, and reading my Bible.
Yep, the fraudulent pollsters will keep this thing tight all next week and then on Sunday and Monday they will have polls with BO walking away with it and all you poll suckers will fall for their deflating plan and stay home.
Screw all and any polls, good or bad.
VOTE!!!
Any burglaries in your neighborhood recently?
Good point.
Me, I’m have the major case of Election Fatigue..
OT, but Shawn is on with his Sunday, ‘Hannity’s America’,
‘Ten reasons not to vote for Obama!
> I’m so POLL Fatigue it’s unreal!!
You know... if one were to accept that the polls were not being “cooked” to produce a predetermined result, the mere fact that the polls span from a 1 point O lead to a 10+ point O lead can only lead to one conclusion: The best the polls can predict is within a 10 point spread, even if they say their margin of error is 3% or whatever.
The stated (3%) poll margin of error is a statistical quantity, whereas the 10+ point spread is attributed to a difference in polling methodologies. But the key fact is that the polling experts can’t agree on which polling methodology is the correct one, which truly indicates the uncertainty of the polling.
So the conclusion is irrefutably one of two things:
1) the polls are being cooked, or
2) the best the polling experts can nail down the result is within a 10 point spread.
In either case, get out a vote, regardless.
Maybe Zogby is a bad pollster. To be honest, I lack the expertise to make a judgment.
But skip the “arab” nonsense, please. We’re against Islamo-fascism; I don’t think we’re against people of any particular descent or ethnicity.
If they called me, they’d get the “Lie, Tory!” effect.
“Oh yes sir, I’m a Republican, sure, but it’s all Obama for me...”
