Just proof that these polls are pure DNC propaganda BS. May Almighty God curse their tactics and bring profound misfortune upon them.

There is a reason they are doing this. If Romney wins, they can immediately charge that the election was rigged because all the polls showed His Highness clobbering Romney.

In New York, that weight to Democrat voters is probably correct.

Actually I believe leftists are doing this so that they can blame the Voter ID law for Obama losing, that way they can riot. I say let the scum riot. I think Romney has already won this election, that is why the Dems are making these bogus polls, because they know their dear leader is finished.

Romney up by 11 with independents in this poll. That’s the only take away and it’s good for us.

The state controlled “media” is working so hard at getting their Child of the Earth reelected that their polls have become nothing but another goofy ‘RAT joke. ALL OF THEM!

I don’t think many who had planned to vote for Romney will stay home or vote for the anointed one on the basis of crooked polls. I doubt it will sway many of the undecideds either.

Skewed public opinion polls are the modern equivalent of the political cartoon.

Just like in 2004 when Liberals insisted that there had to be Republican cheating because all of the exit polls showed Lurch winning.

The guy who owned the exit poll firm was a former CBS executive. One problem was that his workers were college students, street people, aged hippies, illegal aliens, winos, etc. The exit poll results—which favored Kerry—were supposed to be embargoed until the voting closed. But some gay restaurant critic at the New York Times got ahold of the numbers and starting leaking them to liberal talk radio stations. This may have cost Bush a point or two.

On Sat I did an analysis of the CBS/NYT poll

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2931353/posts

If you use a turnout model that matches 2010 the results are

Romney 48.6%, Obama 46.7, Undecided 3.6% if the undecideds break 3/1 for the challenger (IIRC the break is usually 4/1) the results are: Romney 51.2%, Obama 47.5&

Using the latest Ras number for party affiliation (+4.3% R) you get a number of

Romney 50.4%, Obama 44.9%, Undecideds 3.5%, splitting the undecideds the same ration (3/1) we get : Romney 53.1%, Obama 45.8%.

The turnout model determines the poll result.

A very good site that ‘balances the various Obamedia polls (not my site BTW).
