How the tone has changed for the right... a week+ ago..

The polls are wrong, skewed, biased and should not be trusted...

Now... they are the bestests in the world and very accurate...
 
If it is snowing and the thermostat tells you that it is 100 degrees out then the next day it tells you that it is 105, then it is reasonable to presume that it is getting warmer. Of course, polls are not so accurate or perhaps the methodology changes.

In this case methodology did change for some insane reason. Over Polling Republicans by 5% more than Democrats.. what are they.. Rasmussen?

Why do you toss around words like insane when there is something you don't agree with? Please post a link where you see a pollster using over polling of Republicans and we can all see.

Go read the poll material yourself. It is all in there.
 
A lot of the polls that had Obama up 5+points pre-debate had high undecided numbers. I have always assumed these were Republicans who just didn't like Romney. Now that the undecidededs have dropped post debate, it shows the Republicans have decided to bite the bullet and go ahead and say Romney. The debate solidified the GOP base in the polls moreso than anything else IMO. I do think 2008 models are unrealistic, but I also think that 2010 models are as well since there are a lot of folks who do not vote in mid-terms.

Interesting thought PeteEU 4:33

PeteEU 3:41, what do you have to say about PeteEU 4:33's suggestion?

How the tone has changed for the right left... a week+ ago..

The polls are aren't wrong, skewed, biased and should not be trusted...

Now... they are the bestests worstest in the world and very accurate inaccurate...

Brilliant insight PeteEU 3:41, it does seem PeteEU 4:33 is acting in the same manner in which you were suggesting others were acting. Good catch!

Pew doesn't weight by party affiliation, which in my opinion is the right way to poll. That isn't their methodology changing, just 5% more people identified themselves as Republicans than Democrats.

I agree. Of course all the Republicans who were going crazy over Dems supposedly being overrepresented in previous polls would never question the high percentage of folks who self-reported as Republicans in the Pew poll. The hypocrisy is mind bending.

Well of course, but as we just saw, hypocrisy isn't just limited to the right. I was really hoping there would be a shift back to Romney at some point to see if conservatives who had been disparaging the polls would come back trumpeting them, and if liberals who had been heralding the polls would start to attack them.

Desperate is your 100% ad hominem attack. Didn't you want to crticize Pew for oversampling Republicans? That would at least actually give you some whiff of credibility, which you are utterly lacking.

Yeah it proves they were right, they were wrong and inaccurate, now the polls are showing a more accurate picture. People can only take Obama failure for so long.

I other news Erkle Obama can not take the Packers farther then Favre..but Libs insist Erkle is better period..

the debate wasmuch like your posts.. your posts look "fancy" but when challenged they are dust.. kinda like what Romney did to Obama..when Obama was challenged he had nothing.. ring a bell?

*Sigh*

Another opportunity squandered. Probably too late, but that's okay. Your posts are always good for a laugh.

The sad thing is that people are laughing at you, not with you....
 
If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times....


You can't look at a single poll and make any kind of distinction besides a general "hows it looking" idea. Romney is doing better. Did he really make a 13% swing? Nope. What happened is gullible people went out and dug through the dozens of polls and found the two that gave him the biggest jump and are now reporting on only those two polls. Look at the averages, Romney is doing much better, but was doing bad, but I doubt he was that far behind Obama at the time, and he's doing better now, but he's not 4 pts ahead.

It's amazing that you should even have to explain this to people.
