Breath...relax....12 points??? breath....I told myself "wait until next weekend" since the debate

[underpants]

A 12 point swing? Really? I hate to sound like Jack Welch so I just keep telling myself BREATH RELAX WAIT UNTIL WE GET A COMPLETE PICTURE

Oh and WORK!!!!!!!!!

I knew what was coming - Gallup and Rasmussen were the only polls out all weekend - I knew that they were being used to guide opinion not to reflect it (as usual) but it was KEY to get the message out that "everyone is doing!! Romney!! everyone is doing it!!!"

Pew is a good poll but 12 stinking points???? --ironically Gallup has Obama back up by 5 on the same day sounds like they are throwing that in under the Pew poll to look more reasonable.

Now I read here that NBC and ABC (Williams and Sawyer) are projecting Romney as the leader.



I KNEW they were going to do this. I thought they were just prepping the battlefield for the purges to work but then jumped it up to make it look like Romney is ROLLING.

BREATH RELAX WAIT UNTIL WE GET A COMPLETE PICTURE

Oh and WORK!!!!!!!!!


My wife and I can't get to "the office" (as we refer to the campaign around our daughter) on Thursday and Friday nights but other than that --- IT IS GO TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!

1. There will always be occasional polls that are outliers

just because the people who answered their land lines were all one persuasion instead of the other. It happens.

It's usually Razzy because their sample is so small, or some obvious Republican front, because they only call Republicans.

Once in a great while, it can happen to a respected poll like Pew.

Pundits want a horse race to keep people tuning in to their meaningless "news" tabloids, so they will jump on this stuff like ducks on June bugs.

Take your cue from Intrade, where it's been greeted with a yawn.

However, maybe it'll spur a few more apathetic people to get off their asses and vote.

2. Honestly this year i think the polls will be wrong

i know some may not agree.. but i truely believe that polls this year will be wrong. i really do.. now u can use them to show trends.. BUT i still believe they will be wrong..

Pew is not some right wing shrill that has romney up by 4? but rassmussen that leans R has them tied? politico/battleground has romney up double digits with indies but obama up 1 point?

I'M SORRY but this is bullshit.. and i just dont mean the polls against us either.. i think these pollsters have an agenda.. they want to get on tv and there name out. i really do.

i ask everyone to please calm down and not take these polls worth anything!

that being said polls usually getting better a week or so before the election but we have SOO much things happening between now and then.. and this 12 point pew swing is BULLSHIT
