Nobody believes this bullshit.
I have no clue how this election will roll out.
But I would guess that a poll like this is to set up the notion that if Romney wins these states, the outcry will be “they cheated” Obama was ahead and we contest this and want recounts done. A poll like this will be cired as the reason.
I meant “cited” not cired. Too late for me. LOL
If OBAMA wins Ohio: we've got a crippling debt and deep budget cuts to make, 47% of the country who believe this stuff, and kids in public schools learning this kinda stuff from the MSM adding to the voter rolls from now till 2030 at least assuming we fixed education today.
The other thread where Sandy victims are demanding the military be used to force the power companies to restore power faster is the real story about the direction of our country, not the polls in OHio.
This is to cover the voter fraud when Democrat precincts show over 100% voted for Obama in “narrow wins” in these states.
Will Republicans have the courage to challenge the theft of this election, or will they moan and complain to the choir and do nothing?
Gallup projects the national electorate with R+1.
Battleground projects Romney will win.
How do QP/NYT/CBS think the electorate will be D+8. How did they come with this particularly methodology?
And even with this massive oversampling in O’s favor, he’s tied in FL and VA and up only 5 in OH. Think about where he actually is and Democratic enthusiasm is nowhere where it was back in 2008.
OMG...
Face palm.
The MSM just doesn’t get it.
There will be steam coming out of my ears all morning until I can listen to Rush tear this poll apart and expose their purpose as manufacturing a fake Zero comeback.
It will probably be the latter.
You know how that is.
So far, Obama has gotten away with every America destroying thing he has done.
No wonder people are so negative about things.
I love the way the candidates are referred to. “President Obama” vs. “Mitt Romney” and “Mr. Obama” vs. “Romney”.
QP ‘s Dem push poll operation was set up by former leftist reporters from
CBS and the Slimes !
This awful dem party polling front group had Gov Scott losing by 6 pts on Election Day in 2010 !!!
QP blew that push poll and still get hired and never gets nailed for there awful pro Dem polls !
You’re right - its designed to show Obama is surging when nothing of the kind actually has happened!
When you play funny games with party ID alignment, you can create results that are not very believable.
The MSM will be in for a rude awakening next week if they believe their own polls.
I finally bought some 12VDC to 110VAC inverters (including a sine wave inverter to run the refrigerator and furnace) and a couple of deep cycle batteries to provide limp along capability when the power goes out.
Be Prepared. Quit whining.
(Don't live where you can't hook up and run a couple of cars to charge batteries.)
The CBS/Times poll in 2008 ranked 22 out of 23 in accuracy. Only poll that did worse was Newsweak.
The Pew Research Center and Rasmussen Reports were the most accurate in predicting the results of the 2008 election, according to a new analysis by Fordham University political scientist Costas Panagopoulos.
The Fordham analysis ranks 23 survey research organizations on their final, national pre-election polls, as reported on pollster.com.
On average, the polls slightly overestimated Obama’s strength. The final polls showed the Democratic ahead by an average of 7.52 percentage points — 1.37 percentage points above his current 6.15-point popular vote lead. Seventeen of the 23 surveys overstated Obama’s final victory level, while four underestimated it. Only two — Rasmussen and Pew — were spot on.

Just drive my youngest to school and had the local radio on which has talk radio later.
They have just sed this poll to some what make it look like obama is winning, then they mentioned how Romney is coming to Jacksonville and then said Michelle big bum hypocrite obama is coming on Thursday and how you need a ticket, where to get those tickets etc.
So th emedia now makes a poll, oversamples too much and then the poll is picked up by other outlets and they ruin with it.
We should ahve marched on the media back in 2010, go to their HQ’s and demand they do their job and stop being bias.
I;m sending mail to all the local media here and calling them, I;m so fed up of them ignoring the biggest cover up in history of our country and then lie for their messiah.
LOL
Funny stuff there NYT
Will do.... I posted yesterday about someone on FR saying a few weeks ago that as these polls shift to Romney, just wait until the week of, and there will wild swings back to Obama’s favor.... I am concerned that this hurricane can change things too.
There was a time when Quinnipiac used to care about its reputation as one of the premier public opinion polling institutions in the country.
Quite obviously, political fealty has overcome any remaining sense of honor they might once have had.
No responsible person who has paid attention to the mechanics of the 2012 campaign would predict a turnout margin for Democrats equal or greater to that achieved in 2008. No one. Not a soul. Not even David Axelrod, were he being honest.
The solitary purpose of polls such as this is to create a false media narrative of Democrat resurgence, in the hope of exciting Democrat voter enthusiasm, and leading to the unnecessary expenditure of GOP funds on states that they will in all likelihood, win.
And brought to you by the same people who don't want to talk about what really happened in Benghazi.
Six more days, people. Six more days.

exactly
not only the media does these polls because of their bias but also because they have to account for the elfts voter fraud.
How will the media and the left explain that they were getting 48% in the polls but then win 53%.
We had massive voter fraud here last election and I’m beting it will be even worse and then the media would have accounted for that in their polls
