Magically the MSM Polls tighten! Too funny

[tinydancer]

For all the "OMG why bother having an election Romney and Ryan are dead in the water threads", reality hits.

As we on the right have predicted, in the home stretch the left wing polls must tighten to maintain *cough* their credibility.

Gee, looky here l'l libroids. Romney/Ryan are now within the margin of error. Aw shucks, golly gee, who'd a thunk it?

I love this line.

The president's three point margin is within the poll's sampling error.



Battle for presidency remains close in new CNN poll

And from the article please note the polls that have *cough* tightened up besides CNN.

Three other national polls of likely voters released in the past 24 hours also indicate a tight race. The other surveys are from ABC News/Washington Post, Politico/George Washington University, and American Research Group.

the minute the big money shifts to the congressional races you will know robmoney is dead in the water

 

[AceRothstein]

But I thought all of the polls were skewed? You guys need to make up your minds.

 

[Mad Scientist]

People tune out when they think it's already over. Smart people at the Network realize this and put out polls showing it's a horse race.

You're not gonna' watch the Super Bowl if you think one team's gonna' run away with it.

If its sooooo close why did the republicans risk cheating voters out of their vote?

 

[Truthmatters]

Now they are caught cheating and you idiots will just deny the facts and pretend without one shread of evidence that the polls are bad

 

[Katzndogz]

Did the margins tighten because they always were, or because the MSM got called out on their lies too many times?

 

[Oldguy]

I'm confused.

The mantra has been that the so-called "MSM" is part of liberal conspiracy to re-elect Obama. Now...you're telling us that they're not?

Oh, well...I guess y'all can take a page from Mitt Romney's Etch-A-Sketch playbook. If one thing you say doesn't stick, change it to just the opposite and see if that works.

Quite simply put, they were. They were skewed.

If one knows how to read the actual poll itself instead of relying on a screaming headline that basically states "Obama wins", one would realize that the sampling of Democrats in certain polls was outrageously high.

Consequently, that sampling skewers the poll.

The tightening in the polls at this stage of the race is 101. Instead of attempting to use polls to depress the opposing parties electoral turnout, at this point in time the pollsters have to man up and get real.

What are you talking about? I clearly pointed out in my OP that the polls are tightening as predicted by many of us who have been thru many an election.

I as well as many others on the board knew that the MSM polls were skewed as to depress the conservative voter turnout.

There is no "etch a sketch" moment here. And at this point in time, the MSM has to pony up and get real or lose any *cough* credibility that they have.

It's SOB. Standard Operational Bullshit eusa_angelardon my french).

They have to tighten their polling in the home stretch because the pollsters are actually rated on their accuracy from this point on come election time.

This time has been a real roller coaster of polling so full of bullshit my eyes went darker brown every time I read one by the likes of PPP .

There's a headline up on Drudge that I want to follow up on.

POLL: Plurality of Americans believe POLLS biased for Obama...



The electorate is finally figuring out how they are being played.

 

[AceRothstein]

I still don't understand the "polls are going to depress turnout" mantra. I don't know anyone who has ever not voted because of what the polls were showing.

 

[NYcarbineer]

The race was tied a month ago. Obama now being ahead a month later is not tightening,

except perhaps to someone who's mentally disabled.

There have been many studies done that support these facts. I can't open the PDF to give you the link but if you go to the google link I give you and go to this title you can get the study right from the University of Chicago.

Polls have been used as propaganda for eons. It's just a fact of political life.

That's not a nice way to talk about your fellow liberals on the board. Just in this forum alone:

If you don't believe the race was tied a month ago, I suggest you go to realclear and look at the chart.

m modern times, except for blowouts such as Roosevelt 1936, Nixon 1972 or Reagan 1984 almost all races are close.

A women named Sandy gave Obama that election.
