The parallel universe where Mitt Romney leads all polls - POLITICO.com Print View

On TV, talk radio and especially the Internet is a place where the swing-state polls that show Romney losing are not just inaccurate but part of an intentional plot by the heretofore unknown media-pollster axis to depress Republican voters. In this other world, Romney not only isn’t losing — he’s on the verge of a convincing victory.

“I believe if the election were held today, Romney would win by 4 or 5 points,” trumpeted Dick Morris on Fox News last week, predicting a win for the GOP ticket in Florida, Ohio, Virginia, Nevada and Pennsylvania. In public polls right now, Romney is losing in each of those states. But, Morris said, that’s because the data are all wrong.

Conservative talk radio king Rush Limbaugh senses something more nefarious in the media and university polls.

“They are designed to do exactly what I have warned you to be vigilant about and that is to depress you and suppress your vote,” Limbaugh told his listeners last week, after bringing up swing-state surveys from The Washington Post and CBS News and Quinnipiac University. “These two polls today are designed to convince everybody this election is over.”

One website, unskewedpolls.com, even readjusts the public polling to include more Republicans in samples. The results: Romney leads in nearly every national poll released in September. Of course arbitrarily reweighting polls is wildly unscientific, but that hasn’t stopped Republicans like Limbaugh and even Texas Gov. Rick Perry from mentioning the site

All universes are not created equal.

 

[Katzndogz]

Is that anything like the parallel universe where obama leads all polls?

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Is that near the parallel universe where the Stimulus kept unemployment below 8%?

FRAUD ^ ALERT:

There is no universe where Mitt leads all polls. And nobody (except for hacks like leftwhiner, etc) have said, suggested or claimed any such thing.

What has been suggested (several times and rather clearly at that) is that when the polls which are skewed get UN-skewed, the fantastical leads by the incumbent disappear.

The result is that Mitt is actually leading in many of them, or tied, or his deficits are dramatically reduced.

And the proof may be expected to be found in the only poll that will ever actually matter.

See ya all on Election Day.

Define the process where polls get "skewed"? or how "unskewing" them makes them more accurate

I have. So have others. It is clearly pointless to repeat ourselves when you choose to remain ignorant.

I encourage you to live in that special universe of yours where (as katzndogz noted) the incumbent is "leading" in all polls.

Not even close

Explain how unskewing a poll makes it more accurate

Is that near the parallel universe where the Stimulus kept unemployment below 8%?

It DID!

Just not in this country.

You're right. You aren't even close.

And to ask the question confirms how silly you are intent on being.

If a poll is skewed, you dip shit, it is -- by definition -- inaccurate.

UN-skewing it therefore serves to correct the error, making it more accurate.

No, it doesn't make it more accurate

If the voter population that the poll is evaluating is skewed, the poll should be skewed also. Not all popuations follow a perfect bell shaped curve

No, it's the one where Obama cut the deficit in half.

Wrong you fucking twit.

Nobody said ANYTHING about following a bell shaped curve, except you, you fraud.

The unskewing of the VARIOUS polls takes into account the VARIOUS political party affiliations of the respective places being polled.

unskewedpolls.com's daily tracking poll now has Obama leading by 4.

Every poll is conducted by different methodologies. Artificial "unskewing" applies equal party affiliations where they do not exist. If a voter identifies as a republican, he IS a republican that day. Trying to unskew that is bad science

Actually unskewedpolls.com claimed that 2 weeks ago. Up until they 'unskewed' the Fox poll their list showed Romney leading in every national poll.
