Why the Polls are Wrong
Breitbart ^ | November 5, 2012 | John Nolte

Posted on 11/05/2012 11:39:15 AM PST by trappedincanuckistan

While every single poll on the planet predicts Democrats will enjoy a turnout advantage of three to eleven points, the latest Rasmussen survey of party affiliation taken throughout October shows that Republicans enjoy a huge 5.8% Party ID advantage going into the 2012 election.

I’m done paying attention to polls. I’m going to go vote tomorrow, and bring my wife and daughter with me. Then tomorrow night we will watch the only polling numbers that count.

Along with what this article points out, a CNN poll shows that independents support Romney 59-35. The same poll has the race tied at 49% with a sampling of D+11. So despite what the Liberal Media and Fox News has been saying, Romney should do very well tomorrow.

judging by the time this article was written and released it sounds like the Breitbart guys are reading Free Republic.

We must go and vote as if our lives depend on it.

For all we know, that may be literally true...

“After we win this election, it’s our turn. Payback time. Everyone not with us is against us and they better be ready because we don’t forget. The ones who helped us will be rewarded, the ones who opposed us will get what they deserve. There is going to be hell to pay. Congress won’t be a problem for us this time. No election to worry about after this is over and we have two judges ready to go.” V. Jarrett

Rasmussen shows a GOP +5.8% Party ID advantage, yet only shows Romney up 1 today in their tracking poll. How do you explain that?

It can’t be explained. At least Ras is reasonable. The other polls are laughable.

I got called at least a dozen times in the last 6 weeks and told each and every caller I was voting for Øbama.

Turnout may be affected severely by the aftermath of superstorm Sandy in the five boroughs of NYC and parts of North Jersey, RAT strongholds. Romney might even have a shot at winning one or both states!

In 2010 we were DOWN 2.9% in the last preelection poll and won 63 seats in Congress. By the next month we were up 1.3% meaning Rasmussen did not catch the trend until after the election. A 4.2% jump in a month then makes these new numbers very believable.

It could only be explained if Independents were breaking for Obama or a few percent of Republicans are going to vote for Obama. But Independents are breaking for Romney and I would think that an even larger percentage of Democrats will be voting for Romney than vice versa.

Also I have seen that 97% of Republicans are voting for Romney whereas only 93% of Democrats are voting for Obama. (Forget where I saw those numbers.)

Why?


Because the Dems get a false sense of security and the Reps try harder.

The pollesters have accepeted the Democrat premise that the White, Male voter isn't coming out to vote, but that the Democrat ground game will get out Obama's base.

This will be the excuse used on Wed. to explain why the polls didn't pick up the signs that a landslide was coming

It should be an interesting day watching all of the excuses coming from the pollesters on why they got it so wrong.

Reality is setting in among the left wing media. They are already preparing the narrative. They know their gambit of using polls to gin up support for Obama has failed!!!!!
