Good to know. You keep posting “depress the vote” slanted news and I will be right there. Obamatrons already dominate TV. We don’t need them on FR.

If you look at the poll, it’s being contorted by early voting numbers, Paul.

I think that’s much of the issue, especially in Iowa due to the huge lead for Obama in the “early voting” section of the poll.

That’s not realistic compared to election day voting and crossover vote numbers. This sure does not look to be like 2008 with lots of GOPs voting Obama. It could be the opposite.

Those early voting polls are just bad and not worth quoting really.

I’m so sick of this polling crap I could just puke.

The real polling takes place Nov 6th, all that polling drivel before is worthless to all except for those that profit by it, either financially or politically.

I agree!!!...Watch the polls and pundits on election nite scramble in CYA mode with headlines reading...

LAST MINUTE SURGE FOR ROMNEY SWINGS ELECTION!!

In an “unexpected” turn of events, undecided voters swing heavily for Romney on eve of election........”unprecedented” last minute swing....”unparalleled” voter dissatisfaction....polls tell us in what was a widely “perceived” close race that swing voters fall heavily for Romney...etc...

Feel free to add more “Headlines”.....should be fun to watch the news knowing we predicted them in advance.....Rush could probably have fun with this one...lets make a list and send it to him!

I’m with you but hold on because Rasmussen will be coming out with Iowa later today. Will either support or contradict the Marist poll here.
