- In 2004 - the LA Times was oversampling democrats by 16% to get Senator John Kerry to be ahead of President George W Bush in LAT polls.
- We all know how that election turned out.....

Time for me to get flamed. I have a pet peeve. When you do not like the results flame the poll. Look does Pew lien Dems. Over this cycle yes by about 3. Does Rassmussen lien R? Of course by about 3 this cycle as well. I would also point out the hidden number. Who is best on economy? Same polling firm shows a 15 point swing. What has happened in last month? Bain! For those who quote Rassmussen saying Bain has no effect? Romney adds two new communication guys and is going on all 3 networks. Since he has never done this I wonder what changed... Hmmmm.
Look do not get caught up with one poll or
one polling firm. You have to look at totality. I also look at poll to
poll. If a single organization shows movement from poll to poll no matter the exact numbers.
Flame away.
