OMG who wrote this crap? I was screaming at the computer screen when I read this.

Freepers, there is a conspiracy out there! The lame-stream media is conducting polls using 2008 percentages for party-breakdown. This means that Dims are being over-sampled. This is why Zero is shown to be ahead WHEN HE IS NOT. And the lame-stream gets exposed every time they do this. So why do they keep doing it? Because if you tell a lie enough times, then people believe it. You are starting to now see Dim comments of “ALL these polls can’t be wrong. You wacko republicans just can’t deal with reality.”

Well, I don’t care if there are 20 or 2000 polls that show Zero ahead. If they have been weighted to party preference at 2008 levels then they are WRONG.

AND THIS STUPID ARTICLE WAS WRITTEN ACCEPTING THE PREMISE THAT THE POLLS ARE CORRECT!!!!

So if this is not a conspiracy, where is the proof that these polls are wrong? REMEMBER THE WISCONSIN RECALL? At 5pm on election day all media outlets were reporting that exit polling predicted it was TOO CLOSE TO CALL. The polling was done with the SAME over-sampling of Dims that the polls that show Zero ahead use. Anyone remember the result? Walker won 53-47.

Articles like the one above make me want to tear my hair out!

Freepers, we have to get the word out that any poll using 2008 party weighting is WRONG. Already, because there are so many being put out, people on our side are starting to believe them and get dispirited. This is what the lame-streams want!

Welcome to FR.

Question? Why do you keep posting that same exact post in every poll thread?
Do you have it saved in Word or something?
Are you trolling or what!

“the polls are wrong”.

There IS a huge conspiracy, which includes the unleashing of liberal trolls to demoralize us using methods such as this. I SEE THEM DOING IT FIRST HAND. I have never seen as many politico articles as I have in this election season. isn’t that evidence enough?

You people are woefully naive but this will become a self fulfilling prophecy if you don’t wake up.

I get the idea that 2008 turnout levels have changed because Obama is less popular and the republicans won in 2010.

But, I’ve seen articles here claiming that use of 2008 levels for black turnout is wrong. I know all the arguments, I’m not convinced black support for Obama will decrease, I think black turnout may increase.
