Why are the polls tightening up like this in one day?? Someone on FR called it... that the polls would move in Romney's favor, and then quickly level off the week before, and like magic, show Obama ahead by election eve.
Hmmm
Hmmm
Yo, Noob. You know nothing about me. Back to DU for you.
Another idiot.... troll?? I’ve been here since 2000.... no troll, dye in the wool conservative. just asking the question about some polls tightening up.
Last week, Romney led the RCP avg of polls by anywhere from 0.6-1.0.
Today he’s at 0.9% lead. With a higher D+ sample. Last week the average D+ sample was 3.5%. Today it is averaging 4.5%.
So Romney stayed in his consistent 1 point lead despite polls becoming more friendly to Obama.
Romney wins 52-47. Take it to the bank.
So is Chris Mathews sphincter.
LLS
Not only that, if the polls get lopsided at any time, then the ad sales will just dry up completely, right???
The MSM hounds simply MUST be fed their millions!!!
Ok...from your lips to God’s ears.... just seemed that we were seeing Romney at 50% to 51% with Obama at 46%, 47%, 48% depending on the poll... so to see the focus today with these 1pt polls, with Romney under 50% seems like someone is cooking the sauce.
Yeah, interesting, isn’t it? And I gave my impression of what people in this country naturally tend to do — LIKE IT OR NOT — when a crisis occurs. Result: “troll” accusations. The one from zt1053, the little NooBlet who has yet to log 30 days as an FR member, was especially entertaining.
Rush says this every year. You hear, over and over, how it is a walk for the Democrat, and then, suddenly, as you get close to election day, everything tightens.

The other day I just realized the enormity of the the dueling polls and news cycles. Epic campaign, nobody is giving an inch. For every Obama is up by one, a Romney up by 3 pops up. Every time they say Obama is going to win Ohio, somebody say’s Romney is surging in Wisconsin or Minnesota and making huge leaps in Penn. It’s hard to imagine Ohio — a rust belt state not tending towards Romney if he is indeed polling up or surging in the surrounding rest belt states.
The fight now is all about the turn out, or so Obama thinks. Sure a really depressed turnout on either side will hurt them, but I think Obama’s team is purposefully misjudging their candidates polling strengths because if not,then all else is lost.
Romney is in the coat tail phase of his campaign, my prediction, my feeling today is Romney going to show very strong on Election day. I predict Obama will lose all but one of the swing states, and may possibly even lose a surprise blue state considered solidly for Obama.
Rats poll better on weekends. I don’t see the polls tightening up in any material way.
I don’t see that. A lot of polls showing Obama in the lead a week ago now have it even or a 1 point Romney lead. They are falling in line in the final week to keep their credibility.
Rasmussen is a point closer, which could be statistical noise, weekend data, or storm impact. We’ll see how it goes Wed and Thurs as the weekend falls off and the impact of the storm are baked in.
Scenario- The Polls all show a last minute, perhaps massive, swing toward the kenyan, the exit polls all show the kenyan winning handily. Romney wins. The Democrats scream FRAUD! and launch a million lawyers and start demanding recounts in all the states the kenyan lost. None of it would surprise me even a little. Would Justice Roberts do the Constitutional right thing or would he stay with his new found homies and get loved and lauded by MSM and all the social lions of DC and NY?
“Would Justice Roberts do the Constitutional right thing or would he stay with his new found homies and get loved and lauded by MSM and all the social lions of DC and NY?”
I’m afraid he would just give it to the kenyan to make it look like he could “even up” the hanging chad thing.
and about illegal votes and the vote count. The President has one real skill, that of community organizer, a profession that includes things like getting a maximum number of fraudulent voters to the polls. In the Demomachine cities that augments the heavy handed miscounting of votes and "finding" of votes in closets and the disallowing of whole classes of votes, etc., that is done by the Machine.
Tightening?
Gallup ticked up to 5 yesterday. RAS is still around 2 with a D+ sample. NPR shows Romeny gaining 9 points to take the lead. Romeny had first Ohio lead in RAS Monday.
But how the hurricane impacts the election.... Who knows
