I have always said that the right has a real problem with reality, changing it to suit their own ideology - here is proof.

Simple, are you Right handed or Left?? Ambidextrous people need not vote... LOLi still dont understand whom i am suposed to be voting for. im so confused.
Laugh all you want. Most of the pollsters are weighting the election based on 2008. In that election the turnout for young voters, blacks, latino's was pretty heavy. It was alot heavier than normal elections.A study in troubled thinking. "the polls don't show what we know in our guts must be right. The polls don't show romney winning and we intuit that he must certainly be"
so
The polls (all of them, even the FOX poll) must be... wrong. Here, We'll fix this for you. We will change reality to conform with our beliefs.
Are you getting this Beenthere?
(they claim that there are "too many" Dems being canvased) Now, never mind that many of these pollsters make their living being as accurate as possible in their numbers - a poll that does not reflect reality doesn't get referenced, if it doesn't get referenced the organization doing the polling doesn't work anymore. Just as the right is intent on making the news say what it wants the news to say, making science say what it wants science to say, making the Bible say what it wants it to say, now they are actually "re-balancing" numbers.
I'd laugh if it wasn't so intensely sad for them.

This upcoming election does not reflect the same turnout as the republican base seems stirred up and the democratic base seems less so.
One thing you may also want to be aware of is these pollsters get PAID to conduct polls. And the person PAYING them is in many cases interested in a certain outcome. Therefore, making the client happy is also an objective of the pollsters.
Basically, all the polls right now are crap anyway. It wont get real until about mid October when the pollsters actually have to justify their polls for the next go around.
And the only true poll is on election day anyway.
It doesn't matter in the least bit what the polls show. Romney is still going to be the candidate, he ain't changing his political views, he isn't going to "move to the middle" any more than Obama is going to stop being a progressive douchebag.
The MSM will do what it always does, try to convince Conservatives there is no hope and to stay home, the same as they have done in years when Republicans have won. They will endlessly hammer the opposition on any perceived weakness (even if it's entirely fictitious) and provide blatant cover for their candidate. Everyone knows this is the case and that's why the media is at an all-time low in trustworthiness.
I'm voting for the Conservative and none of the laughable bullshit posted on this forum will change that. The progressive cretins are going to vote for Obama, no matter what. No one is changing anyone's mind on here, it's nothing more than mental masturbation. We'll find out in November if the American public has any common sense left or if they vote for Obama.
everyone pays for polls everyone reports the agenda of their editorial board. IAC, my statistics will trump yours, any day....statistically speaking, of course. (sample size, not reported, not valid in every state your mileage will vary)I see, so FOX paid for a poll and it got numbers it didn't like
(so much so that they didn't much play the results).
No, pollsters tend to do their best to reflect reality because that is what they are paid for and contrarty to common belief, they don't just pick numbers out of an old hat. Even what you are saying exemplifies my statement. Republicans would rather be lied to and if you are correct are paying to be lied to.
Um.. dead people and animals are rarely polled, usually don't have phones and are not "likely voters".You see, once you remove all the dead people, animals, under-age, multiple "one person" voters, illegals, etc.......the numbers skew towards Republicans. Funny how you guys complain though- a lot of the Dem's recent polls, taken from likely voters with up to 6% more Dems them Republicans in the survey- and no one says anything about that. Next weeks debates will be the true beginning of the countdown to the election- and the only thing that really matters. Numerous times one side or the other has had a substantial lead and after the debates, the elections were won by the opposite side. AND remember this- with all the distractions, the ECONOMY has always decided the presidential election. No matter what the polls state, it will come down to that. And we all know the U.S. is in trouble. Next year, with inflation, higher taxes, higher gas prices, higher medical ins., etc.- we're all gonna get fucked- no matter who is president.
Why ya gotta throw stones at "conservatives," partisan? You haughtily suggest that your side is mo' better.
It called "damning with faint praise" "...many conservatives have a misunderstanding..."
But, not All, maybe...faint praise indeed. Of course the progressives or liberals, the Mr. Ostrich types, by other names, are so savvy about what polls truly mean?
Unfortunately, these are likely voters in some places.Um.. dead people and animals are rarely polled, usually don't have phones and are not "likely voters".
