Media hypes old poll showing tie in Ohio

[Proud liberal 80]

Again another thing that pisses me off about the MSM. This poll is old compared to others Ohio polls that shows Obama with a good lead, but since it was released today they pump it up as new. RCP is listing it at the top like it is the newest Ohio poll, but look at the dates compared to other polls.

2. You're right

A bunch of polls come out recently showing Obama with favorable numbers in VA and OH......and the media pulls a poll out of their ass from like 10 days ago.

4. Except Romney internals show him down

by three. It is what it is. Pivot from the polls to the EV totals. Race in final stretch.

Sorry edited it actually was given as a range of 2-3, not 5.

12. Hey don't let it get to ya ...

Some in here just react to 'OP Titles' and don't bother to read the content of the post. I think that may have happened with the two members your answering to. Welcome to DU !!

14. You aren't. Thanks for pointing out the ways the polls can be manipulated. n/t

21. Jury results

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Inappropriate use of the term "troll."

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Oct 28, 2012, 09:35 AM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Calling out people is a no-no.

Chill out and cut people some slack because this touchiness about practically every posting is getting a little ridiculous.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: He took it back two posts down. Let the whole thing stand for the apology's sake.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: not inappropriate use. just a personal attack that should be hidden, even if the OR might be a troll.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

9. I kinda knew that they were gonna come out

with a poll like this after the Wpost showed Obama in the lead in Va. This poll came out at midnight so it would catch the morning shows.
