I refuse to be a "polls are skewed" screamer

[sobenji]

I ridiculed the Republicans when They did it in 2012, I'm not going to be whiny little babies like they were.

I think a lot of the Senate races are tight but I'm not going to hold out false hope.

I would love to see Wendy Davis win. I would love to see Grimes win. Maybe turnout will be better for us this year, but I'm not going to scream that the polls are skewed.

Leave that to the party of crybabies.

1. I don't think they are skewed

but there ARE a lot more crappy pollsters out there then ever before. Check their track records.

2. I don't know if polls are skewed or not...

but I'm getting a real 2012 vibe here. I think the voting public is learning to ignore polls and actually vote their own minds, based on their own thoughts and experiences. For much of recent history, polls have had a bit of a predictive nature, where too many people saw the polls and voted along with them, regardless if there was any validity to them.

I'm still hopeful.

4. I'm sorry, but what was the 2012 vibe?

The aggregate of the polls had Obama winning, despite people panicking after the first debate and the Fox News idiots claiming otherwise.

5. Perhaps I misremember history...

but IAE most of the "vibe" I get is the Republican over-confidence in the inevibility of the outcome being in their favor.

The only poll that matters is the final one on Nov 4.

6. Not kidding: I hung up on 3 pollsters this year and I'm voting.

7. Mitt Romney says they're going to do well

I just hope they're not using his pollsters....no wait.....

9. Here Is the thing

The problem may be with polls Is the likely voter screen may be missing out some voters who vote democrat.

Some are just from bad pollsters.
