A few state polls BEFORE Sandy hit (for the Repubs who think Sandy lost them the election)

Just to walk down memory lane, I captured these few state polls a few days before Sandy hit on 10/29/12. As you can see, Obama was leading in several battleground states (and had been for some time) BEFORE Sandy hit. He went on to win those states, which makes sense, since he'd been ahead in those states consistently for some time, through the good times and the bad times.

They're like children who just did bad on a test at school - they didn't fail the test because they didn't properly prepare for it, they failed the test because the teacher made it too hard. Republicans didn't lose the election because their policies don't appeal to the majority of the country, they lost the election because of the liberal media, hurricane Sandy, the country is full of takers, and on and on.
