Yes, the poll is very skewed.
But the essential information is in the independent voter bloc.
Failing to attract enough independent voters will be Romney’s undoing. Sad but true.
“The Dispatch Ohio poll has always been VERY accurate AND the paper is not a fan of Obama.”
This is correct. All the polls (including +D skewed polls) have recently been moving toward Obama.
I am concerned there is a lot of rationalization (party ID composition, day of the week, party registration numbers, pollster bias) going on among conservatives these last few weeks. This can mask the serious trouble Romney/Ryan are in.
At some point, we need to recognize that Romney is behind in almost all polls, that Intrade has him in Dole territory, and that we need to start dealing with reality the way it is and not the way we would like it to be.
And yet this poll says 5% of McCain voters are now voting for Obama and only 6% of those Obamamania voters woke up and are now voting for Romney. Just not believable.
Any poll that shows Obama winning by more than he did in 2008 is clearly not believble
The majority of respondents to this poll voted for Ted Strickland, who lost, for governor in 2010. What does that tell you?
+9 Dem in a year that the absentees are (so far) indicating a +1 or +2 R turnout; and an even split with white men between Obama and Romney? You can roll that and smoke it!
On the bright side — maybe these skewed polls will discourage the liberals from voting, since they believe they’ve already won? In SW Ohio, I see few Obama signs and not many Romney signs either.
You digned up End of August this year.. Mod, ZOT this troll. Nice try DU’er.
The indicates 5% of McCain voters switching to Barry. That seems impossible to me... Does this jive with those you’ve talked to in the campaign?
Rather, InTrade has him in the same position as Kerry 08 , who got as high as 90%.
Yes, but that 1% went 60/20 for Romney over Obama.
I don’t talk to many people in the campaign. I can’t imagine any McCain voter switching, while I personally know three Obama voters who have switched. I think every Freeper knows 2-3 Obama voters who have switched, and can’t name a single McCain voter who will vote for ZEro.
“Any poll that shows Obama winning by more than he did in 2008 is clearly not believble”
Clearly, some aspects of this poll may be incorrect, but if Obama was not leading the race by a healthy margin overall, one would think that Romney would be ahead in at least SOME poll. And, one would think there might be some poll out there where Romney was leading by 9 points, or even 5 points...but there are none.
Wow Just Joined in August 2012and peddling the
It’s over Axelrod theme !!!

You believe the results from a mail in poll ?

Plant doubt and divide the opposition .
Stating that left wing rag is accurate and fair is a way too obvious .
Axelrod needs his trolls to try to less obvious .
Agreed... Then after the election the “concerned” posters will show up till the next election.
