stupid article.... the results are meaningless because the polls ARE skewed. When one of them shows a plus 13 dems in a year where dems aren’t going to show up as much as they did in 2008 what can one say.

Well... that's because they are 'seasonally adjusted' just like the unemployment figures.

You’re right. And one Pub pollster pointed out the Pew poll that has Romney ahead today is skewed +5% Republican. There is no way that there are going to be 5% more Pubs than Dems either. So watch the independents for an accurate read, since that doesn’t change no matter how the sample is skewed. In 2008 Obama won independents by 12%. Now he is -17% to Romney. He can’t win with those numbers.
