Every Monday morning all the major pollsters, meet in the basement of their safehouse, and decide what they want this weeks polls to be. None of them really employ senior statisticians, and since no wingnut seems to have been phoned for their opinion, aren't even polling. They just decide what the outcome will be, and divvy up the numbers within their margin of error, so it doesn't look too suspicious.

I dont remember who coined it. I didnt. I saw someone use the phrase a few days ago. But Im starting to think Poll Trutherism may become a big deal post-election. The polls cant tell us what the outcome is going to be on November 6th. But they show pretty clearly that if the election were held today Mitt Romney would lose.
Unless, that is, you think the pollsters are conspiring against Mitt Romney and the Republicans to get them so bummed out that well, Im not really sure what the idea would be. Because if the liberal pollsters really have conspired with the liberal media to hurt Mitt Romney the main effect would probably be to make Romney into the biggest upset winner in like forever.
