Skewed polls indicate Obama's in trouble - not Romney
American Thinker ^ | 09-27-2012 | Keith Edwards

Naturally, if you support Obama and are treated every day to wall-to-wall news headlines showing Obama so far ahead of Romney in the polls that the election is basically over, then you're less likely to go out of your way to vote in November. So there's a really fine line between turning out your voters and turning off your voters when using polling data like this.

First I do not believe Obama is ahead. I think he is currently losing by 5-10 points. Secondly, I have been wondering about this projected over confidence by the MSM. If Obama is going to win by such huge margins, there really is no reason for democrats to turn out at all. Afer all it is now in the bag. The MSM is making democrats think Obama is winning 90 O and 10 R. I think the democrats are building their own defeat and we will see a huge wipe out in a month with a new President Romeny.

Romney will Win! Its all propaganda from the media favoring Obama. The Mega Bankers have already picked Romney to be the next President.

Then the question is — why is the media so much in the tank for Obama? Why are pollsters doctoring the poll results, to make it seem that Obama is more popular than he really is????

Because news people would rather be TOLD WHAT TO SAY BY THE REGIME than ACTUALLY DO SOME WORK AND INVESTIGATE STORIES. It’s so much easier reading from the White House’s script than to investigate, write, then read what you’ve written!

Funny how that dynamic works, ain't it? Add to that, the fact that a great many of Obama's core constituents are already too demoralized and hurting to get off the couch, and they're cutting their own throats with these fantasy polls.

The other factor is that liberals are REALLY REALLY AFRAID to be even remotely perceived as ‘racist’ so they coddle their little black man gently and do whatever he tells them to do so as to avoid being called that dirty little ‘R’ word.

EASY answer! When Romney wins, then all of the usual suspects will come out to riot, spin, throw tantrums, and try to de-legitimize the victory. After all, the POLLS said Obama was going to win.

I love the characterization "wall-to wall". Reminds me of Brad Pitt in "Kalifornia". "Don't go into that bathroom! It's just a wall to-wall STINK!"

Hope everyone is right on this subject, but it seems like whistling past the graveyard to me. What worries me most is the eye test and my eye test tells me that for every Romney bumper sticker I see 4-5 Obummer stickers. Scientific? No, of course not.

But it scares me seeing that in Alabama, as conservative as a state can get. It tells me that whatever conservative support Romney is getting it is very lukewarm.

Heard a black caller on Hannity today that cited Obama being ahead in “almost every” poll and was bragging about O being re-elected based off that information.

Telling you right now the Obamabots are in for a severe sticker shock to the point where there is going to be rioting and violence after this thing is over. The false narrative that Obama has this thing wrapped up is just going to be fuel on the fire after his commie ass is thrown out of the White House.

As I have posted numerous times.
The Marxist knew that the key to taking America was in
taking control of Education and the Media.
Education has become a Marxist indoctrination tool in K thru Grad School.
They have also corrupted all forms of main stream media, print and broadcast, starting from the days of Walter Cronkite.
They also control most newspapers.

Simple. The pollsters are liberals and the media are liberals. Don't believe either of them.

I hope you understand that Obama & Co. want to collapse the economy so as to seize power. The MSM and the pollsters are part of the democrat machine and are assuming they will be at the trough gorging on the spoils of the victors. It is no more difficult than that. That is why the MSM and the pollsters are lying so much. Have you noticed how Gallup is now so pro Obama? With the Justice Department suing Gallup all of the sudden Gallup is falling into place. The point to walk away with is that Romney is ahead and the MSM is desperate to affect that result.

Just because the poll results are skewed doesn’t mean Romney is ahead. He needs to get people excited.

Then again have you ever considered that your perception could be totally wrong?

You forgot the Supreme Court. Between the Courts, the Media and Education, we are at the mercy of an UNELECTED group of liberals. 39 days.

Then stay home and don’t vote. You are right it is hopeless. You guys would not know how to recognize victory if it bit you in the crotch.

I tend to base it on the LOBS theory.

Lack
Of
Bumper
Stickers

I see NO Obama bumpers stickers, or signs, even in the almost exclusively democratic neighborhoods I work in. I think voter apathy is going to hit both sides, but the deceit of the demolibs with be revealed in the next few weeks.

Can’t wait till the debates...

I agree. I live in Phoenix and there are zero Obama bumper stickers anywhere.
