Looks like a D+8 poll from article. What do you guys think?

Never even heard of the national journal.

Obama worshipers smoking wacky weed.

Pure Bravo Sierra. Had to have at least a +8 D, if not +12 or hogher to “calculate” these results.

On November 6th, it’s time...past time, that We the People:

STAND OBAMA DOWN!

Nonsense. Romney 50-Obama 45.

I’m glad I started moving money into an offshore account last year. Working on getting a non-US passport.

Looks like a disaster for Pelosi... On the Senate, I am not sure how good a generic ballot is...

[liberlog]

Odd that it is not up on their web site. Also, odd that is so out of sync with all other responsible national polls.

Princeton Survey Research Associates did the National Journal poll from 10/25 to 10/28, found Obama up 5.— Jay Cost (@JayCostTWS) October 31, 2012

So let's wrap our mind around this one, gang. Princeton Survey Research Associates did the Pew poll from 10/24 to 10/28. Found a tie.— Jay Cost (@JayCostTWS) October 31, 2012

Let me save the Nervous Nancy types the time and effort and simply say:

“Oh no, this poll deeply concerns me! I think we're in trouble!”

Sorry, couldn't resist...because you know these “concern” posts are coming. ;-)

I think it's time to stop posting them. I don't mean that as a slight to you personally. I just mean we should stop giving websites pushing that kind of tripe hits and attention that they don't deserve. Hell with 'em.

I am awaiting information on the poll to know what to think about it. Meanwhile I am quite dubious of it. The National Journal article seems flush with conclusions and assertions but kind of sparse on methodology and veracity. I did not notice the party ID break down, or if they weight to party ID...where did you see that it was D+8?

United Technologies/National Journal Congressional Connection Poll, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International, surveyed 1,010 adults—including 713 likely voters by cell phone and landline—on Oct. 25-28. It has a margin of error of 3.7 percentage points for the entire sample, and 4.4 percentage points for likely voters.

This from the website for the company that did the poll:

“Responsive

Working closely with each client to achieve the client’s research goal is what we do every day, even as those goals change.”

IOW... they will get the results that their clients need!!! BOGUS POLL!

D+8. Not happening. Look at colorado, FL and NV early vote.

Neal Boortz was very pessimistic today on air.

What do I think? I think Troll

[mplsconservative]

Welcome to FR. D+8 is garbage.

[berkeleyman81]

fantastic poll. really great research and professionally done.

The more I see these crazy polls today, the more I feel confident in a Romney victory. This is the kind of garbage that comes out in crunch time that the losing party concocts to try and rile up enthusiasm.

Fun stuff. NJ even plays down their own poll in their last few sentences. Sigh.

Has any pollster or poll analyst/commentator clearly explained why virtually every polling firm uses such a high D+ sample? Even the pollster Fox News uses does this. Heck, even Ras appears to use a D+3 (some say D+6).

What is the reason for this exactly? Are pollsters consistently just finding far more Democrats when they make their calls? Something must be driving this and I have no seen anyone really explain it.

[newzjunkey]

Too far out to be reliable.
