If you measure from September 18 or something like that, when Obama's lead in Ohio was at its highest, then she can claim to be "accurate." If you measure from two weeks ago, it's clearly gone from Toss Up to Lean Obama by any objective measure. Indeed, if you measure it from this day last week, it's moved rather dramatically toward Obama as the race draws to a close. They mealy mouth the timeframe in order to avoid that.

14. What I've noticed

I dont watch her frequently enOugh to know if it's a pattern. But when she us asking a question or responding to a guest on something she really believes she is clear spoken. When she tries to ask a question she thinks will be a gotcha or someone else fed to her to say, she mangles it up and you have to watch he guest wait for her to finish it. She is purposely trying to stir the pot. I haven't figured out whether it's to give the guest an opportunity to contradict her statement.

Comment by the Hill, certainly not a site known for their leftist leanings.

Partisan polls should be viewed with some skepticism, and both polls put Romney in a better position than most publicly available data has shown. Obama has a small but steady lead in most Ohio polls, and a slightly wider lead in Wisconsin.

Always trying to create their own reality through lies and propaganda.

Don't like reality? Just invent your own polling firms with methodology guarenteed to deliver the reality you want.

And the stupid fuckign media falls for it every time.

convince me that they are still as bad as they were when I quit watching them last year. The cartoon channel is better than those cable 'news' channels. Better entertainment.
