Vanity.... LIke Magic, all the polls are tightening up??

Posted on 10/30/2012 8:39:18 AM PDT by Heff

Why are the polls tightening up like this in one day?? Someone on FR called it... that the polls would move in Romney's favor, and then quickly level off the week before, and like magic, show Obama ahead by election eve.

Like I mentioned in other threads... because he occupies the WH, Obama benefits from the crisis created by the storm. It’s a natural response in this country.. good or bad (in this case... very bad).

All I now is that I hope there is a special place in Hell reserved for pollsters. I for one am sick to death of all the stupid polls.

The GOP and the conservative movement can control this nation’s destiny if our side will show up to vote. Turnout is EVERYTHING! There are no excuses for pouting through 6 Nov because Romney isn’t everything we hoped for as a candidate. The mission is extricating Obama and that evil cabal of his from the White House.

Con Edison says 7 to 10 days before power is restored... the election is in seven days... cbs ny has on their website... liberals screaming about, “Why can’t the government restore the power faster than these companies say”? This storm will not help obama... it might today but tomorrow he starts paying for painting himself as a savior. I know... I have been through many massive storms and the government in NOT the solution.

Silly... you’re an idiot. Polls create impressions and shape perception. For better or worse.

What polls are tightening up?

The RCP average shows Romney +0.9, up from 0.8 yesterday.

Obama, with another day off the calendar, is still at 47%.

No incumbent in history has ever been at 47% with a week out (while his incumbent is tied or ahead) and gone on to win.

Way too many hand-wringers and/or concern trolls out today. Almost like a coordinated effort.

New Yorkers and New Jersey folks without power for a week?

That’s not going to bode well for Obama... spoiled libs will be screaming by next week over power outages.

NPR has Romney up by 1%. When the left losses NPR POLL it's over. Obama is toast. Benghazi is effecting this election more than anyone knows.

Per Gallup Romney leads Obama 52-45 in early voting. Looks like The One is DONE!

None of the pollsters want to be wrong, so they want it to look like things could go either way.

The storm will have either no influence on Obama's support at all, or a negative influence if there's looting, social unrest, and/or a government screw-up of some kind.

Their worst fear right now is that Romney wins outside the margin of error of their poll.
