Dick Morris: Poll Numbers Are Not Accurate - Polling - Fox Nation
I'm tell you libs. You are being led down the primrose path.
More and more it's becoming obvious the numbers in the polls just don't add up to reality.
BRIAN KILMEADE: Can Mitt Romney regain his lead and what is causing the trend. Dick Morris is fox news contributor and author of screwed. Dick, you believe the story is what is behind the numbers.
DICK MORRIS: I don't think the numbers are accurate. I think there is a is fundamental error going on in the polling by the media origination. Not by Rasmussen who has a different technique and it shows Romney one behind in Florida and one' in Virginia and 2 behind in Ohio. And Obama well below 50 percent of the vote which probably means he gets the undecided and could be ahead in those states. But the difference is these pollsters are using 2008 turn out model. A totally unique turn out, huge African American, huge Latino, huge college students and relatively fewer elderly. That model happened for one year only 2008. It didn't happen in 10, I t didnt happen in 04, it didnt happen in 00. And they are wrong for applying, it is true if the people who voted 08 vote in 12 Obama will get elected. But its not going to happen because the enthusiasm is way down.
BRIAN KILMEADE: Does it explain the trend. They were closer a month ago even with the same science?
DICK MORRIS: Well, I don't believe that, I believe what they are doing is reweighing the data and that would not established a trend. There is no such thing as a trend in a bad poll. The accurate polling which is no reason to go to those polls go to the accurate ones. Rasmussen shows the race within a point or two in each of the states. By the way, the trend in Rasmussen and in my own poling is that Romney was doing fine in August and fell back because of the democratic convention and recovered at end of last week and now is pretty much even . I think that is the reality. If the election were held today. Romney would carry Ohio, Florida, Nevada, Virginia and a shot at Wisconsin where I am today and would win over 300 electoral votes. The media is deliberately or inadvertently and wrongly showing the race to be different then it really is.
