Well, its now one day until the Election, and the Poll threads have been exploding over at Freeperville.
I have my own prediction – I’m taking a week off posting, unless Schadenfreude dictates otherwise.
Let’s suit up and spin that airlock door, shall we?
In reverse order from oldest to newest –Galluping along!
Gallup Tracking: O-50/R-44

7 day tracking: O – 50/R-44
3 day tracking: O – 51% approve/43% – disapprove
I don’t know what to make of this. Up until about 4 days ago, Gallup
had the race tied. There was a sudden shift to Obama on either Sat or
Sun which showed up first in the approval number. I thought it was a one
day good sample for Obama but that day rolled off the three day rolling
approval tracker today and his approval number actually went up…?

They are doctoring these polls, to make it seem that Obama is more popular than he really is.
And, they want to demoralize Republicans by claiming the Romney campaign is imploding.
Ah – the mysterious“They”.
First cousin to the pernicious“Them”.
The scary Those Not Like Us that terrify and anger the Freeperati so.
To: Perdogg
goodness. EVERY POLL shows Romney losing, the one guy left his
campaign for Wall Street and even NRO is saying Romney is shifting his
strategy. Something tells me that R/R are down in their own polling.
Doesn’t mean they’ll lose but lets get real here for a minute. It
doesn’t look good at this point.

Accuracy as in they had Obama winning bigger than he did but they
were still accurate in that Obama won. I don’t really care if they’re
off a few points the fact is all these polls keep showing Obama ahead.
And how exactly with the price of gas, and food, and the cost of debt,
and the bad employment numbers along with the fact that NOBODY really
likes his Obamacare plan does this bastard get 50 to 51 percent job
approval. Romney is not running an effective campaign if this is the
case. Is he afraid to be tough?
This is a disaster.

Really? Romney is getting killed. This is looking like 2008 all
over again. The “establishment” puts up a lousy candidate and we are
left on the outside. Down ballot races are being affected too. Face
facts we are in trouble.

The day after the elections: “The nation is stunned. Every poll in
the country showed the President up by anywhere from 5 to 15 points, and
yet Romney wins by 8??? The case for Republican voter fraud couldn’t be
more obvious…disenfranchisement of Democrat voters at record
levels…”
You can see it coming…an obvious set-up.

I’m going to find all the same posts like yours from 2008. When
all the polls showed McCain losing for weeks yet people here still
insisting the polls were wrong. The similarities are annoying to say the
lest.
Face it. We’re squabbling over a few points. Another Freeper made a
good point. With all the mess all over the world, Romney should be up by
5 at least. Gas and food at record highs. Our embassies being overrun.
An American ambassador was KILLED for god’s sake. This race should be
over. Shame on Romney for such as sorry ass campaign.

I realize most of these polls are flawed, but seriously WHAT THE
HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE IN THIS COUNTRY? We have a Marxist idiot in
the WH destroying this country,and if (GOD forbid) he gets 4 more years I
have no doubt he’ll finish the job, and the mere fact that he might get
relected just makes me want to puke?Hence, my tagline.

Rasmussen: Obama 271, Romney 267 OCT 5, 2012 • BY JEFFREY H. ANDERSON
One
month and one day before the most important presidential election in
the past quarter of a century and perhaps in the past century and a
quarter, Rasmussen Reports shows the race being about as even as it
could possibly be. At this point, Rasmussen’s state-by-state polling
shows that President Obama would win by the tally of 271 electoral votes
to 267 for Mitt Romney.
All of Rasmussen’s polls in the nine key
swing states have been taken in the past three weeks, although the
polls have been taken at different times during that stretch. In these
nine key swing states, Rasmussen’s polling shows Romney leading in
Virginia (by 1 percentage point), Florida (by 2 points), Colorado (by 2
points), Iowa (by 3 points), and New Hampshire (by 3 points).
Rasmussen’s polling shows Obama leading in Ohio (by 1 point), Nevada (by
2 points), Wisconsin (by 3 points), and Pennsylvania (by 12 points).

My Aunt says she’s still going to vote for Obama because he’s the
better looking candidate. Uuum, whose idea again was it to allow women
to vote?

How special.
and Obama has another surprisinglybad
performance even in the “townhall” format (remember, no help from a
TelePrompter and handlers!), we may see things break surprisingly fast
Romney’s way.
It’s a combination of 1980 and 1988 all over again.

Well, that was then, and this is now.
A week off posting? I’m almost certain Schadenfreude is going to dictate otherwise.
Also, I’ve been waiting for the Republicans to start their own “Death to America” chants — I suspect Mr. Let-America-Burn is just the forefront of the new GOP trend. If America won’t love them, it won’t be long before Limbaugh starts telling his listeners to strap on a bomb vest for Al Qaeda.
I just love the “and this is now” polls listed in the Freeper thread.
Talk about cherry picking…
The preponderance of polling gives the edge to Obama, but you can always find a daily outlier showing the opposite. To the Freepers, the outlier is the signal, and the preponderance is the noise.
How very zen of them.
Wow. Hadn’t heard about the volunteer in Florida claiming to be beaten. Brings back memories of last election where someone claimed to have been cut with a?B? for being a repub.
I also think of the people signing up people in Florida who were shown to be illegally discarding people trying to sign up as dems. Wonder if these are connected.
Hey – it might surprise you guys, but this little weekly excersize in nutpicking takes in excess of three hours to put together.
Because I type REALLY slow.

No post next week?? The tears of the freepers will taste much sweeter than Scott Tenorman’s..
