PEW says response rates are down to 9%. let's say a dedicated organized group of as much as 1% is aware of this and that if they make every effort to always answer pollster calls (or do call backs) and maybe use 2 or more private phone numbers ~ their 1% can at least double it's power as part of the responses simply by having more than 1 phone number, and then multiply that power by 11 Times (100/9 = 11) ~ giving them 11 Times 2 or 22% of the total response for any poll.

If gays are as much as 1% of the population, they are easily 22% of the responses in polls. If they are 2%, they are 44% of the responses and if they are 3%, they are 66% of the poll responses.

So, do you imagine the homosexual lobby, the abortion industry svengalis, and the National Education Association would lose the opportunity to literally become the voice of America?

That's the source of the surprise turnaround~and it explains why polling is dead as a science in the determination of public opinion.

Everybody knows that ~ PEW, Post/ABC, etc. ~ all of them.

Yeah, that's why all those fake polls in late October had Obama winning the... wait a minute.

Look, burying our heads in the sand isn't the answer. We already tried that once before, with the "unskewed" nonsense, and what did it get us? A presidential campaign that sat back and rested, kidding itself that it was so far ahead it barely had to try.

We have to face reality if we are ever to have any hope of turning the tide. Otherwise the polls will continue to get worse and worse, gay marriage will win in state after state, and we'll still be sitting here saying "Everyone is secretly on our side."
