I agree many of the polls are clearly skewed but it seems www.unskewedpolls.com weights the polls to be about R+1 based on Rasmussen.

There hasn’t been a Presidential election with R+1. Bush’s wins were with a small Democrat edge in party ID. I don’t see why it should be R+1 any more than it should be D+9.
“There hasn’t been a Presidential election with R+1. Bush’s wins were with a small Democrat edge in party ID. I don’t see why it should be R+1 any more than it should be D+9.”
A couple of reasons. Rassmusen reports a R+3.4 registration advantage this August via its party self-identification poll. Second, a number of polls are reporting a significant Republican enthusiasm advantage, thought right now the ObamaMedia is vigorously trying to spin this the other way.
Of course, national numbers are essentially meaningless though anyway, because what really counts is what people in the battleground states are going to do.
I agree reasonable polling sample is +3-4 Dem. Skewing it the other way based on a single Rass poll is probably not reasonable.

Precisely! You have it smack on. You are questioning the polls and my point is that if we are going to blast the MSM polls we may as well blast the unskewedpolls.com polls. 95% of the Freepers on this forum discuss the polls as if they are true and Freepers have no ability to properly resist them and discuss them.
There are too many facts that point to an Obama wipe out which is why the MSM is counter spinning so hard. It is so obvious;yet, people on our side just fall apart the moinute they read the MSM polls and have no ability to think critically.
At least your above statement says that you have the ability to resist the propaganda and read through the lines. Too many people love to preach doom and gloom becasue that is the lazy man’s way to fall I love with his own opinion.
Can you say President Romney?
