UnSkewed Polls -- erasing the bias to show an accurate picture of politics
The PJ Tatler » Skewed and Unskewed Polls
There is a new website, called unskewedpolls.com, that basically reweights the data to fit the Rasmussen party identification. Their results are quite different, giving Romney somewhere between a five and eleven point lead.
Now, this should also be taken with a grain of salt. Basically, they claim (by the site name) to be an unskewed poll. In fact, theyre just a differently skewed take on existing polls. Instead of taking their numbers over, say, Gallup, though, what it should tell us is that even if the polls are being heavily weighted to Obama, Romneys still essentially tied. Any difference in Romneys direction in real turnout from the pollsters assumptions would bring Romney into a lead
Proving once again the polls mean SHIT!
