Oh, now the media is pumping U of Cincinnati poll OH 50 to 48.5 vs PPP poll w/Obama up 5pts

Is the media creating a narrative for Money Boo Boo to win in Ohio?

Final Ohio Poll: Race ‘too close to call’

The final pre-election Ohio Poll from the University of Cincinnati finds President Obama and Mitt Romney deadlocked at 50 percent to 48.5 percent, within the poll’s 3.3 percent margin of error.

That’s no significant change from last week’s Ohio Poll, which gave Obama a two-point edge over Romney. A recent Columbus Dispatch survey also had Obama up two points; the most recent NBC/WSJ/Marist poll gave the president a six-point lead.

2. A half a percentage point change makes it "too close to call."

Fucking hacks.

3. How much money do you think the GOP threw into the media coffers after that

first presidential debate? Loads, and loads. It would be a strong incentive to keep this race tight.

4. At the end of the day, the vote's going to be what it is

The "media" choosing a 2pt lead over a 5pt lead on the day before the election is not going to do fuck all to move those kinds of population numbers.

At this point, it's GOTV at the retail level, and let the devil take the hindmost.

Media narratives are without any power this close to target.

5. WaPo article printed before SUSA O+5 poll released

That said, if any MSM outlet ignores the hugely reputable SUSA poll this afternoon, they are committing fraud.

Ohio is NOT close.

6. So what, they grasp for any chance to hype suspense and drama

7. The media will always cherry pick

It isn't too bad though. Our people need to be motivated to come out and vote tomorrow. If they think we are up 5 points, then they might not have the same sense of urgency as being up 2 points.
