now I am wondering about absentee ballot fraud.
Huge difference between 2/3% and 7/8%. Thats the skew.
Too bad it’s not a federal crime to intentionally misstate polling data criteria. There would be a lot of pollsters behind bars right now.
I don't even think it occurs to them. They're following orders.
“Ann Compton was pushing the narrative that Romney is way behind in battleground states and she used these polls”
I want to puke everytime I hear “Ann Compton ABC News”. She is a useless political hack posing as a news reporter. Gag, gag, gag,
Few Americans will recall the events on the 2007 Kenyan Presidential elections. Barack Obama went there and campaigned for Raila Odinga, a man some claim is Obama’s cousin. Odingo was beaten, but claimed election fraud. He staged widespread riots in which 1000 were murdered. Rather than executing him for conspiracy to commit mass murder Odinga was appeased by being made Prime Minister (an office that didn’t exist) and functionally co-ruler of Kenya. Obama certainly recalls this and may be preparing something similar as his “plan B” with these misleading, bogus polls.
How have R&R changed their message and tone?

Does it matter? Ohio is full of morons...how do I know? They still live in Ohio.
I knew Romney would run an awful general campaign, just like McCain.
Please folks, in 2016 can we get behind ONE true conservative candidate and quit splitting the vote so much in the primaries we end up with a McRomney?
Not sure why heads are in the sand. Pollsters present ridiculously skewed polls and after much research the facts/crosstabs of the polls are presented and pointed out. Heads seem to be very much in the air.
brilliant.
wish you were running the campaign.....
She's on the top of the hour radio news cheerleading for Obama all day long and all week long.
Do you know what groups have called it the best in recent years? I’m not sure who has done well but on aggregate polls were pretty on target last time and that makes these numbers bother me. The polling firms may have some biasses but their primary motivation is to make money and if they miss by too much they’ll put themselves out of bussiness.
In 2008 Obama won Ohio by around 4.5%, almost e points less that he won the national vote. For him to win Ohio by 10%, he’d have to be ahead nationally by at least that amount.
Conversely, if the race is close nationally, it’s close in Ohio. There should be a slight edge for the GOP if it’s even nationally, although in 2004 Kerry did well there, considering the national vote was +2.5% for Bush. But even then, all he did was lose Ohio by the same amount, he didn’t do better.
If Romney wins the national vote, it’s unlikely he’ll lose Ohio or the election.
