My take on why polls are not correct is the well known as the “Wilder Effect”. That being where pollees will talk non-racial to outwardly be beleived as good folks even by the polsters, but when they step in the voting booth their distaste for nobama’s politics, laziness and failure will overcome 2008’s “racist cleansing” vote for nobama.
“My take on why polls are not correct is the well known as the “Wilder Effect”.”
I remember this being trotted out in 2008 (the “Bradley effect”) when they thought Obama was going to lose and they were going to blame racism. It didn’t materilaize at the time, but I think it might this year because since day 1 (even during the Dem primaries) any criticism of the unqualified affirmative action token was dismissed (and attacked) as “racist”. Four years later the only way people can indicate displeasure with Obama without repercussions is in the privacy of the voting booth - let’s hope they do it!
