Poll: Obama over 50% in Florida, Ohio and Pennsylvania

Not by more than 20% because some dont like crying bunnies.
Polls mean absolutely nothing without knowing what the questions are and who you asked them to. Even knowing those two things don't make a poll mean anything.

You can get a 20% swing on a political poll just by the time of the day that you take the poll. If you take a poll between 10 AM and 2 PM it will have a Liberal bias. If you take the same poll from 4 PM and 8 PM it will have a Conservative bias. The reasoning behind this statement is simple. Conservatives tend to work jobs, who's hours are the traditional 9-5, Liberals tend towards having jobs that work non-traditional hours. Take into consideration a few other items like this and you can make a poll say pretty much what you want it to.

By the way, if you take your poll in Pennsylvania, all you have to do is to ask the questions in Philadelphia and Pittsburgh and Obama will win every time. It tends to be a bit different on election day.

So, you support Obama's proxy wars and the build up in Africa especially Somalia?? Read the thread. When there is a specific target behind the mission it's a "war". This war has been fought for decades BH. Obama is just following through like a good little soldier.

Oh, for God's sake, can't you discuss something without hyperbole? I said nothing like that! Leave me alone with that crap.

You're playing with a double edged sword.

On the dark side of the drone war, Obama’s rules don’t apply.

What would you call it?

Denial is pure bliss!!! No comments on Somalia either? Better cast your vote now before something bad happens over there.

polls polls polls only as good as the sampling

Jim Geraghty at National Review succinctly sums up the poll's sampling problems: "When Quinnipiac asked its swing state samples, “Did you vote for Barack Obama or John McCain in 2008? Obama enjoys a 13 percentage point margin in Florida and a 15 percentage point margin in Ohio. Of course, in 2008, Obama won Florida by three percentage points and Ohio by 4.6 percentage points. So these are some really heavily Democrat samples."

The bottom line for critics is that the Quinnipiac/NYT/CBS polls assume that Democrats will turn out in larger proportions for Obama than they did in 2008. This, they argue, is hard to imagine given the historic enthusiasm for Obama and the Bush fatigue that suppressed GOP turnout. With the economy lagging, the president should be facing enthusiasm headwinds, which is what recent Gallup polls have found.

ON to the next poll....and the next and the next

Stacked Poll = Fiction

Rasmussen is always the closest.

All we have to do is seek the truth and look at elections in the past.

Rasmussen has the best track record. - They don't stack their polls.-

Looks like Obama's popularity is growing due to the good economy and jobs being created.

I dont think the Republicans could have picked a worse candidate.

As a Canadian, I hope Obama doesn't win this election because it will send another shockwave through the global economy.
And even worse is the thought of how these morons plan on getting out of the hole they dug.

Obama has already lost.

The economy is dragging him down. It's like an anchor wrapped around his ankles.

The unemployment rate went up yesterday.

Plus 150,000 people jumped out of the workforce.

Also, the fiscal cliff is in sight. We can all see it.

Lockheed Martin is required by law to hand out over 100,000 pink slip notifications

just 3 days - before - the election on November 6, 2012.

The Obama gaffe - If you've got a business, you didn't build that ! - is in the back of

everyones mind.

The socialist attacks on Chick-fil-A by the mayors of Boston, Chicago and San Francisco

have backfired! They have awakened a sleeping giant.

A Pro 1st Amendment - Free Speech - sleeping giant.

People were wrapped around the block in support of Chick-fil-A on

Chick-fil-A Appreciation Day.

Also, the DNC have a new poster boy. Here he is. He has 1 message - Intolerance-.

If you donate money to an organization i do not approve of then i will attack your

company and harass your employees.
