I’d like to see what are the internals of this poll.
O up 5+ in OH? And he has small leads in FL and VA, which we know will go for Romney?
And this a a NYT/CBS poll, one of the worst out there.
I’ve been predicting this would happen. The Lames would concoct more fake polling to manufacture a Zero ‘comeback’ to try to fire up their base and snooker idiot undecideds.
Can’t find a link to the internals. Anyone have the internals??

These people are in for a surprise on Tuesday.
We’ll soon find out who’s right. Romney behind ohio by 5. Yeah right. And only down 3 in michigan. Again doesn’t pass smell test.
It’s the NEW YORK TIMES and CBS.
Anyone here that even remotely gives this credence should be banned permanently from FR.
From a Jeffrey Lord article in the American Spectator:
A few weeks later, the Washington Post ran a story that confirmed Rollins’ initial beliefs. The Post confessed that… well… oops… it had made a mistake with those California polling numbers. Shortly afterward came the November election, with California once again giving Reagan a more than 16 point victory. In fact, Reagan carried 49 states, winning the greatest landslide victory in presidential history while losing Minnesota in — yes — a close race. Mondale had 49.72% to Reagan’s 49.54%, a difference of .18% that might have been changed by all that money that went into California. Making Reagan the first president in history to win all fifty states.
After the election, Ed Rollins ran into the Washington Post’s blunt-speaking editor Ben Bradlee and “harassed” Bradlee “about his paper’s lousy polling methodology.”
Bradlee’s “unrepentant” response?
“Tough sh…t, Rollins, I’m glad it cost you plenty. It’s my in-kind contribution to the Mondale campaign.”
Got that?
Presidential race just got tighter in election ground zero — Ohio
By Jonathan Easley - 10/29/12 06:06 PM ET
One week from Election Day, the presidential race has tightened dramatically in Ohio, which appears more likely than any other state to decide who will win the White House.
A Rasmussen Reports survey released Monday shows Mitt Romney overtaking President Obama in Ohio for the first time since May, with 50 percent support to Obama’s 48. This follows a Cincinnati Enquirer/Ohio News poll over the weekend that showed the candidates tied at 49 percent.
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.
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?
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.
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 !
LOL
Funny stuff there NYT
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.
TTIUWI !
