Two weeks before an election, the polls report what they want. Going into an election, though, they have to report something close to the truth.
Two weeks out, there is no objective data, so they can’t be “wrong”. But if they are “wrong” on Election Day, people will remember that, and it will effect their future credibility.
Since they can’t report a 16-point shift the day before the election, the report it six days before the election, and hope nobody notices.
Does anyone know what’s up in Virginia. AP is showing Obama leads 49-42 in Virginia.
