That is also Nate Silver’s (NYT, FiveThirtyEight or something blog) theme.
The commie libs in the “media” just can’t understand that there are people living in this country who would put their country ahead of themselves. In their eyes, freebies should always trump freedom.
If Gallup had the poll saying the exact opposite, all these liberals over CBS would be declaring Obama the winner and for Romney to concede the election, because there would be no hope of a comeback.
I really despise the liberal media.
Of course, if the poll numbers where the other way around, these same people would be telling us the “election is over.”
They have to spin to keep Obama afloat two more weeks. They do need something to write about.
Nate Silver’s own research says an incumbent who is both below 50% and behind the challenger will lose the majority of the undecided vote and the election.
Granted, he was speaking of the last polls before election day, but his research does not at all bode well for Obama.
My sense is that Americans, in general, don’t like Barack Obama. I don’t. I believe he showed that haughty demeanor in the debate the other night that really concerns me.
Other than that, Dick Morris believes undecideds automatically break for the challenger. If he’s right, then Obama is in a really bad way. If Silver is right, then Obama is in a very bad way.
As always, though, don’t count your chickens before they hatch.
Today is the second day Gallup has R up by this margin, I believe.
2 outlier polls back-to-back ?
Possible I suppose but still ..
Another point up for Romney and CBS will need induced coma.
Actually, its the third one. There was one two days ago that was 51 to 45, then 52 to 45, and now 51 to 45. This is a 7 day running average.
Meh, he couldn’t even stir Bobo’s drink a little bit. It’s over.
3 outlier polls back-to-back ?
Ummm
They are right. It is idiotic how Republicans are suddenly getting cocky, with Obama massive Ohio operation and voter fraud plans. Until Romney has a consistent lead in Ohio, Obama remains the favorite on Nov 6.
No, Obama isn’t the favorite, clearly Romney movement is all positive and fraud will not be able to steal it.
Hopeful maybe, I don’t think anyone is cocky, well maybe Dick Morris.
Mr. Obama’s chances of winning the Electoral College improved to 70.4 percent on Thursday from 65.7 percent on Wednesday, according to the forecast.
I think he has his own motive to float the Obama ahead number. Just so that RCP average will show Obama slightly ahead.
Otherwise his recent number showing Obama widening the lead does not ‘make sense’ or follow the trending.
What a Magnificent Dickerson.
