This Graph Shows Why Obama Is Ahead in the Polls

Sep. 17, 2012 6:54am Mytheos Holt

Note: This story has been updated.

Ever since the arguably skewed CNN poll of a few weeks back, conservative voters have been looking at the methodology of polling companies with an increasing amount of skepticism. The fact that most polls have used a model that tries to mimic the voter turnout in 2008, when Democrats beat Republican turnout by 7 points (as opposed to presidential elections like 2004, where turnout between the two parties was relatively even), has not improved this state of affairs.

And now, the suspicion of poll bias appears to have yet one more piece of evidence to support it. Via a tweet by anonymous poll analyst NumbersCruncher comes the following graph showing the degree of oversampling of Democrats employed by the most recent polls (all of which show Obama leading Romney):

Blogger keithbacker at Battleground Watch sums up the graph this way:

The real take-away which I have mentioned the times I blog national polls is that many of those national polls are HORRIBLE for Obama, namely the ABC/Washington Post and CBS/New York Times polls where you have large Democrat over-samplings but rather small leads for Obama. This means if Obama doesn’t meet or beat his stellar 2008 turnout advantage he’s in for a drubbing on election day.

These over-samplings serve a few purposes but mainly drive down enthusiasm for Republicans while assisting the Obama campaign with “bandwagon” supporters who simply like being on the winning team (they’re real and they count).

This is a telling bit of information, and shows the power of polls to become a self-fulfilling prophecy. Granted, most of the polls using a high Democrat oversampling may be doing so simply as a means to estimate conservatively what could happen, if things stay the same from 2008. This is not unreasonable, given the enthusiasm gap that has recently been measured, but that enthusiasm gap is itself arguably reinforced by polling. The Romney ground game will need to push back aggressively if it wants to make up for that negative feedback loop.

UPDATE: Libertarian pollster Emily Ekins writes in to dispute the graph, while pointing to other problems with polls. From her email to the Blaze:

First, the graph only shows the party-id breakdown among all survey respondents, (which is all these pollsters tend to report). However, what we need to see is the party-id breakdown among likely voters, since presidential election match-up numbers are based on likely voters, not all survey respondents. Second, these surveys tend to report party-id without sorting Independents; however, most Independents lean Democratic or Republican. Sorting Independents tends to diminish the party id gap. However, I’d be interested if whether these polls get a more Democratic or Republican “cut” of Independents, which could skew the results. Third, the graph’s horizontal axis presumes each sample should have an equal number of Democrats and Republicans, since it’s titled “% of Dem Sample Advantage.” However, survey data typically indicate that more people do self identify as Democrat than Republican and more people self identify as conservative than liberal. All this graph really tells me is that Democrats like Obama, and the more who self identify as Democratic, the higher Obama’s share will be in the survey.

However, what we ultimately want to know is how many likely voters self identify as Democratic and Republican. We can turn to Election Exit Poll data for a reference: we find that since 1992, self identified Democrats lead self-identified Republicans by an average of 3 percentage points among actual voters. (2008 is a clear outlier) This of course doesn’t even account for how Independents lean.

Party ID 1992 1994 1996 1998 2000 2004 2006 2008 2010 Avg
Democrat 38 36 39 39 39 37 38 39 35 38
Republican 35 36 35 37 35 37 36 32 35 35
Independent 27 27 26 24 27 26 26 29 29 27

Source: Roper Center

The leads us to the real issue, which is whether these pollsters’ likely voter models are correct. I found it extraordinarily difficult to track down how these pollsters define “likely voters”, and they only report party ids for all survey respondents, not likely voters. We want to know if these surveys (below) which show Obama leading, have accurate likely voter models, and if the share of likely Democratic voters is reasonable. From these data alone, we can’t tell.

I don’t know about the polls, but it does feel like Romney is losing. THe RNC meeting was not good PEOPLE. His campaign seems to be mismanaged. This is troubling since he is suppose to be a CEO. That tied with his real desire seems to be to advance the Mormon religion spells trouble. As you recall, your host Beck, has stated, the superiority of Mormonism here many times. I guess it will all come down to the debates.

  This article reminds me of 1980 when Carter was running against Reagan. All unions including the UAW were backing Carter 100%.The race was like right now – neck & neck. As a Democrat I voted for Carter but I told my wife that in 4 more years we would be using Russian Rupels. Half of Detroit was laid off – a new cars interest rate was 21% and 17% if you bought a new home, so half the country like now was laid off. The news media made it sound like Carter would win by a landslide. It was a landslide , except it was Reagan that won and Carter only carried 1 state and it wasn’t his home state.

  Obama will when the election. And I blame the Republican party. They have picked a loser to run against him. Everyone knows that Ohio is a must win state. Ohio will fall to Obama again, he won by more than 5% of the vote last time. After Governor Kasich did what he did after getting into office, a lot of my republican friends are voting for Obama. They are voting their pocket book, NOT their morals or even the issues. No matter how you try to tell them that he is taking their money in a different way and will destroy the economy and their jobs along with it. A lot of people are fed up with politics and don’t believe any of the promises from Obama or Romney. When is the republican party going to get their act together?

  I don’t know who will win this. Maybe we should be basing this on 2008 and not 2004. The tensions seem to be high on both sides. This election matters to those of us who have been waiting years for it. I am sure the Obama machine will do all it can to bring out the vote, including voter fraud. They have the media asking for turnout. The Jaco Report show which comes on in our city right before Chris Wallace on sunday was aking for turnout. This reporter is a liberal reporter whose bias is obvious.

  If I recall correctly, Rassmussen had the most accurate polls in 2008 (or was it 2010?). All but Rasmussen believe that there are far more Democrats than Republicans and that Obama has the lead, so they are skewing the polls into his favor. Rasmussen believes it’s the other way around.
  
  It doesn’t really matter how anybody feels. No matter how you feel, there are are tens of millions of voters that you don’t know. What I mean is that if you’re from a rural town in the midwest, most of the people are going to feel like Romney is winning and if you’re from Chicago or Hollywood, you’re going to feel like Obama is winning. We all live within our microcosms of opinions. Personally, I don’t know anyone that is voting for Obama, but I know there are millions that will. Also, we know that dead people, illegals, and criminals vote heavily Democrat. This is probably why the Democrats don’t want voter ID laws and keep calling people who want them racists. ID laws = fewer Democrats = less voter fraud.

  @RFYCOM,
  
  Yeah I think Romney is losing too…in opposite world. You got to remember 2 important factors in this race. First, the media may as well get a paycheck from the Obama reelection committee (as evident last week from the collapse of the Obama Doctrine and the comparative lynching of Romney). This is “padding” Obama’s numbers a great deal. Second, many voters will poll for Obama but will break for Romney at the last minute on election day. Remember, Carter was polling far better than Reagan (by like 10 points nationally) this time during that election.
  
  Many voters are going to say to themselves, that even though they like Obama a lot and think how cool it would be to go to a basketball game with the guy, they are going to have that feeling out weighed by their fear over a flailing economy,

  @Turkey13 FYI : In 1980 Carter won six states plus the District of Columbia and one of those states was his home state of Georgia. Mondale is the candidate who won one state (barely), his home state of Minnesota, plus the District of Columbia in ’84.

Look at the drudge report too, DNC host state NC is now +6 for ROMNEY, you my friend are picking up what the MSM is putting down.. which is exactly what they are hoping for. Stay positive and stay on track.. I have converted at 2 people who voted for Obama in 2008 to now vote for Romney.. in fact they have seen the light and are now on board with Conservative principles.. like small govt, low taxes/regulations.. and ending the fed.. If we all do our part.. just get one person who voted for Obama to see the light, it will be a landslide.
  
  In addition, the new 9/11 attacks which we were warned about are going to seal the deal. They are getting a lot of traction.. Keep the faith my friends

  At a minimum we all need to commit to vote for Romney. Most companies allow you to take off work to vote so no excuses.
  
  Also, remember that once we take back the White House, we will have a lot of work to do. Things you can do now:
  1. Make 100% sure you are registered, you should have your card by now.
  2. Contact your local Republican Party office and help out. Every hour you help will make a difference. Don’t say you don’t have time, make time, its your country.
  3. Donate what you can, look at this Math:
  
  For every dollar you have in savings, you should donate at least 10% and here is why.
  If Obama wins, the dollar will weaken at historic rates, and the dollar you have in the bank if Obama wins may be worth as little as 50 cents in the next 4 years. So, invest 10% and even if the dollar stays where it is, your Net return on your investment will be 40%. Cant get that anywhere today.
  
  Vote at a minimum, but also get involved!!!!

  If you listen to the polls there’s a good chance you also fall victim to propaganda. There is a whole industry devoted to shaping public opinion. I’ll let you decide who it is. Polls are a tool. They are used to help pamper a grown man with no successes to speak of.
  
  The Americans can be duped once, but if they can be duped twice, America will cease to exist as founded. So keep watching the polls and you might as well just watch msnbc.

  @RFYCOM… Not sure if you can read or pay attention but the article suggests a drubbing for Obama because of the “oversampling” of Democrats. As for the RNC vs the DNC in organization it wasn’t even close. The DNC couldn’t fill a stadium so it was moved indoors to accommodate only 20,000 people. Then there was the mistake of leaving God and Israel out of it’s platform and what people saw on TV when it went to a vote… yikes.

  I was amazed at how accurate the polls were in both 2008 when the Dems won and in 2010 when the Repubs won, so I wouldn’t discount the polls. Just because polls aren’t going your way doesn’t mean they are skewed and/or dishonest. Personally, I think this article is incredibly insightful into the minds of Conservatives. If Conservative candidates aren’t winning, then it must be rigged. REALLY? The truth is, in most parts of this Country, Pres. Obama is still the favored candidate, so I’m not at all surprised with these polls.

  Sounds like the media is getting to and destroying the voters into believing their propaganda. Take heart and get out there and make every vote count. Looks like some black church pastors are telling their people not to vote. Is this because they know many will not vote for Romney so the best thing is to not vote. One hundred percent of American should by now know who owns whom. So when it comes time to vote stand up for our constitution, these destroyers of our way of life need to find other jobs in the private sector.

  Romney isn’t losing. The MSM is skewing the polls to keep Romney voters especially independents from turning out. The CNN poll had independents favoring Romney by 14 points. Expect equal turnout of the base on both sides but it’s those independents that’s scaring the left and they will begin a big propaganda push from now to November to paint Romney as a loser with hit pieces like dissension inside the Romney political camp. And the timing of that story when Obama’s foreign policy is taking a hit is suspect as well. Even Panetta is wagging the dog with false claims about China and Japan hostilities to draw attention away from the middle east.
  
  The people are seeing the Obama administration unravel right before the election. Bennie and the Feds pumping cash may create a short rally in the stock market but the common man is going to see the effects of it on their purchasing power between now and November with the drop in the dollar. Gasoline is going to move up along with heating oil and other commodities right before the election. Small businesses are going to feel the pinch and thus unemployment will remain steady if not increase. Bernanke is betting it all on his QE3 in hopes Obama will get elected and secure his job but it’s going to backfire with the voters. The only hope left for Obama is a propaganda push the likes we’ve never seen by the MSM. The BS coming out will be astounding as they drop media bombs all over the place to sow doubt.

  I’m gonna vote for Romney because Obama is far worse, but oh how I wish we would have selected a true conservative in the primaries.
  Once again, the GOP elite have given us a namby, pamby moderate who looks to be on a loosing track.

  As long as there are 13 democrats for every republican that votes then Obama will win by at least one point. That is what the latest C-BS poll shows.

  It feels like Romney is losing because most of the lamestream media tilt their coverage and their polls to lead us to believe that Obama is a shoo-in and we won’t vote. We must get everyone who voted in 2010 to vote this time and then a few more to insure Obama will leave the stage and take his entourage with him. Ideally our turnout will give Romney what Obama had in 2008 the entire congress to end the Obama myth and put him in some Chicago Climate scam for green jobs under Al Gore.

  In 1980, Gallup had Reagan trailing 38 39 the start of Sept, tied 39 39 the end of Sept, trailing 44 40 the first part of Oct, trailing 48 39 the end of Oct, leading 47 44 the final poll and in the end taking the election with 51% of the vote.
  I would love it if The Blaze would interview the polling groups and ask them to explain their basis for the high Democrat percentage.

  “The fact that most polls have used a model that tries to mimic the voter turnout in 2008″ Where is this stated in any poll description. Anybody with even a slight understanding of statistics knows that polls have to be drawn randomly to have any relevance. The clear cut indication that the underlying assertion in this report is complete BS is the identification of the Fox News poll, which we all know would never be skewed towards a democratic bias. And how would the author explain relative changes in all these same polls towards the PRESIDENT. No doubt be asserting that they are polling more democrats now. LOL. A sad joke to a increasingly sad campaign.

  Obama will when the election. And I blame the Republican party. They have picked a loser to run against him. Everyone knows that Ohio is a must win state. Ohio will fall to Obama again, he won by more than 5% of the vote last time. After Governor Kasich did what he did after getting into office, a lot of my republican friends are voting for Obama. They are voting their pocket book, NOT their morals or even the issues. No matter how you try to tell them that he is taking their money in a different way and will destroy the economy and their jobs along with it. A lot of people are fed up with politics and don’t believe any of the promises from Obama or Romney. When is the republican party going to get their act together?
  ——After Kasich did what? Get Ohio out of debt and honor the referendum wishes of the electorate concerning public unions? You money grubbers won that one, Jimmy Hoffa Jr. There are almost NO republicans voting Obama in any state. Most Republicans like America so they wouldn’t do that.

  Your recollection is flawed. Mr. Beck has continually stated that he doesn’t care what anyone believes in.
  Most of these polls have margins of error at 3% or greater. That basically means they are useless for all but general trending.
  Hopefully what this will mean is that those that don’t want to see Obama win, or that want to see the Romney/Ryan ticket win will get everyone out to the polls come election day. You cannot sit this one out, there is NOTHING more important than this election for the future of our nation. Get everyone you can to vote for Mr. Romney, even if you fear his religion, it cannot do the damage that a lame duck Obama can do.
  Turn the polls against themselves and lay the media’s hypocrisy bare this election. It’s really the only choice we have, or risk it all. I guess that’s a choice too…

Add to that the fact that people don’t like Romney’s policies, that is the ones he hints at having, since he really isn’t running on policies and by design refuses to give any specifics about what he believes.
  
  Further, when Romney does state policy people aren’t stupid enough to believe it. He’s going to increase defense spending, dramatically cut taxes AND balance the budget?

  I don’t care that much for Romney…but he’s way way better than 4 more of Obama. I believe that come election day, even many Dems will vote against Obama. We’ll see on Nov 6th.
  
  If Obama wins…there will be a major economy downturn. Folks are just waiting (Business Folks) for this election to be over before they decide any future decisions.
  
  I believe that if Romney is elected…the economy will do a good turn around. However…the other side (Libs/Progressives/colored folks) will start a major riot/chaos…therefore negating any progress the good turnaround could have…

  @RFYCOM From the Mormon perspective (I am one) I can assure you Romney has said nothing nor by his actions indicated anything throughout his life in politics that he is looking at “advancing his Mormon religion”. We advance our religion by living it and being examples of the good that can come from it.
  
  Don’t believe the overwhelming wave of media and polls trying to convince you Romney has no chance. They know, if they can do that, conservative voters will become defeatist and not show up at the polls.
  
  This same thing has been going on in state elections where the Dems and the media have tried to show the conservative at in a “no win” position and then the conservative candidate smokes the Dem on election day because the hype simply doesn’t reflect reality.
  
  DO NOT trash your vote and put Obama back in office for 4 more years by “voting your conscience” and giving it to a third party candidate with ZERO shot at the White House. A vote for a 3rd party in this election is the same as a vote for Obama. You can rationalize it any way you like but YOU will have helped him to a second term if you don’t vote for Romney.
  
  People feared JFK and his Catholic faith too. They just knew he was going to move the Pope into the White House. Didn’t happen. And Temple Square in Salt Lake City isn’t going to move to DC either.

  Duh, this the point of the article, it artificially feels like Romney is loosing because of skewed polling #s. Maybe his campaign looks mismanaged when compared to the anointed one, who is using taxpayer $ to campaign.
  To your third point, if a Muslim were running, would you be skeptical of voting for a Muslim candidate because they stone women for adultery? Quit bashing Mormonism (remember, we are the people of religious tolerance).

  I couldn’t disagree more. It feels like a blow out to me. You must be watching the MSM or something. Obama is screwing up almost daily. Only a small percentage of people are actually watching the MSM. They have proven time and time a gain that they are dishonest and most people are smart enough to realize that and just no longer watch it. 2010 was historic in the blow out. I think people are even more determined to get rid of the big Orwellian-liberal-progressive government. The silent majority has had it. Given all that I think it is plain a day that Romney is clearly Obama’s intellectual superior. It’s not even close. Obama graduated at the bottom of his class and has built NOTHING in life outside of government. AN anyone who is intelligent sees that. In our area there is a liberal talk show host that says ALL of his Democrat friends are “ashamed” they voted for such a pathetic president as Obama. You won’t hear that in MSM. And on another local talk show someone from the typically Democrat leaning VFW said that there are men that are life long Democrats and have never voted for anything but a Democrat will for the first time in their lives vote for a Republican. There is a real sentiment that Democrats are ashamed of having such a low life liar as their guy and they will either not turn out or vote the other way. It happened with Carter and Obama is so bad that he makes Carter look good by comparison. Obama is an epic failure and that is a fact and it is indisputable

  Take a closer look at the polls again. You soon forget that the reason why Romney feels behind, is because most of the major channels are in it for Obama, and aren’t necessarily obligated to run any ads for Romney on T.V. You might see a few here and there, you might even have a person or two say something good about Romney, but with MSM, they’re constantly selling Obama, be it the news or talk shows, they have no accord with those on the Right or libertarians.

This old dawg thinks Romney is waiting to unleash a final salvo in the final month. Why? Because too many Americans have such short attention spans. National tragedy, but that is the reality.

  Hey, I thought you guys were saying President Obama would be a dictator by now and that there wouldn’t be any election. Now you’re talking like there will actually be an election. Weird.
  
  Anyway, speaking of polls, did you realize that the countries who are our strongest allies – Britain, Germany etc. – can’t stand Romney? Not only do people in the US not like him, people across the world don’t like him.
  
  “The German Marshall Fund think-tank’s annual Transatlantic Trends survey found that 82 per cent of European had a positive opinion of Obama, while less than a quarter had a favourable view of Romney. Asked directly who they would vote for if they could take part in the US elections, 75 per cent of European Union residents went for Obama and only 8 per cent for his opponent.”
  
  I mean, I know they can’t vote but that’s pathetic.

  I disagree. I thought the RNC was a thoughtful and measured gathering of informed and focused people who truly care about the future of their children and this nation. The DNC struck me more like a fevered lollapalooza of frat boys, headbangers and drunken carousers who were there for the free beer and rock stars. I don’t see Romney trying to promote his religion at all; I do see the fine family and moral values he possesses, undoubtedly due in part to his religion, shining through. Romney is constant, reliable and committed to this nation’s success. Don’t let the slanted polls and reporting, that’s only going to get worse as the election draws near, trick you into believing that Obama is winning. He’s not.

  I agree with your feeling “Obama is winning”. But I still don’t base my life on my “feelings”. Granted I live in NY, so yea here it feels like Obama is winning. I have thought about putting up a Romney sign in my front yard but based on the fact that my neighbors are considerably “unfriendly” (not responding to a friendly wave. Ignoring me when I say “Hi” or “Good Morning”. And some hood lums have tried to break in a couple times.) I fear that I would be risking my home to property damage. I am voting for Romney not because I like him or trust him, but that he is the only one saying he will repeal the affordable care act. Which threatens to put my family’s business out of business. If Obama wins and the affordable care act doesn’t get repealled then our only option will be to raise our prices to cover overhead costs or close up shop and move. (not sure where… maybe a far island where people don’t think they have the right to my things). This will greatly threaten our ability to stay competive with the corporate businesses. I’ll probably have to put up a sign after becoming sick of explaining why our prices have jumped. The sign will say “You wanted Free healthcare and this is how you pay for it!” Only idiots vote on feelings. I on the other hand am voting on logic and rationalism. And not the desire to have things for free.

  rfycom, you troll, you don’t follow Glenn Beck at all, do you, other than to make false statements like this. Beck rarely has even mentioned his faith until recently, has never spoken of it being above any other, has many friends and associates of other faiths, and has had members of other faiths on as guests on his show quite often, often highlighting their particular faith and never even bringing his up. Your ignorance speaks loudly and belies the fact that you don’t actually follow Beck or know who he is at all.
  
  As far as Romney goes, he’s doing just fine. Not only has he actually been ahead of Obama in real numbers, which Dick Morris has been consistent in making known, but he’s shown that he’s got the leadership and proper perspective this country needs to get back on track even as recently as this past weeks condemnation of the attacks on the US embassies and clear message that we do not appologize for having freedom of speech as a basic right of individuals in this country, something neither Obama, Hillary, or anyone in his administration has yet to figure out or to clearly state.

  Mitt’s real desire to advance Mormonism? That is news to me…what information can you site to that you know his ‘…real desires”? Do you personally know Mr. Romney?
  
  And you claim that Mr. Beck has stated that “Mormonism is superior”. I must have missed this as well. Can you provide several cited examples of this? I am aware that he has stated that being a member of the LDS Church is right for himself but I don’t recall he claiming his beliefs were superior to anyone. Was this ‘superiority’ that you believe he has spoken of over other religions? A specific religion? over political thought?
  
  As for the poll question — “No” I don’t think the polls reflect the vast majority of Americans. Polls are distorted unless one has an objective desire. I once agreed to do a phone survey from a major university about taxes in my community. I answered about three minutes of questions and then I was asked if I was “Hispanic or Not”. I told the pollster “not” AND that was the end of the survey, she refused to ask me the taxation questions. She told me that they had enough of the ‘other people’ but needed Hispanic views in the survey. I was stunned at the biased survey — throwing out views which were not of the desired race. Next day I called the institution doing the survey and told them of my disgust at the survey.

  BUT, frankly, I’d WELCOME a President who PRAISES a reverence in a higher power (AND in American Exceptionalism) – unlike the CURRENT occupant of the White House (wait, is THAT Racist, calling it the “White House”?)!
  
  I don’t know WHY Obama seems so ANTI-Israel, and SO INSULTING to the Prime Minister of Israel!
  
  I ALSO don’t understand why ANY Jew (living in America, obviously) would even CONSIDER voting for Obama!
  
  As a Catholic… If the Vatican was being THREATENED by the rest of Italy, and MY President CONSTANTLY disregarded the Pope (denying requests for meetings, or otherwise supporting Italy over the Vatican), I would have a REAL PROBLEM with that President!
  
  CLEARLY Liberal Jews ALSO DON’T GIVE A RAT’S REAR END about Israel! WHO WAS THEIR RABBI? Jeremiah Wright-stein?

  RFYCOM,
  The fact that you think Romney is running to advance the LDS Church is so foolish and childish it hurts. Our nation needs to be saved and that is exactly what Romney has done his entire career. He is the perfect candidate for what we need now.

  I have seen no sign that Romney intends to use his office to “advance the Mormon religion.” His Mormonism is no more relevant than JFK’s Catholicism or Barry Goldwater’s conversion to the Episcopal Church from Judaism. If there was a weakness at the RNC it was a failure to pound AS A LIE the ancient Democratic mantra “Da Republicans are for da rich guys; da Democrats are da party of da little guy.” It is a lie, what the Democrats say.
  
  One thing. Why do Republicans think they have to throw themselves on their swords for the millionaires? The millionaires don’t vote Republican–that’s why Carolyn Maloney, Nita Lowey, Tim Bishop, John Tierney, Jim Himes, Henry Waxman and Lois Capps are in Congress. Millionaires give lip service to lower marginal rates, but what they want is fat government contracts–and they’ll get those from the Democrats!

  So far it appears that Romney is attempting to run a clean campaign by not lowering himself to levels that the liberal dems stoop to. Romney should be bringing up the failures, lies and criminal activities of the last four years of this administration, and making BO answer to them.

  Advance the Mormon religion.. I haven’t heard that once. We Mormon‘s don’t push our religion on people unless they have a desire to know about our faith.. so for you to make such a statement is none other than a bald face lie! Give me a break!
  
  Oh abby. When you stop sending out your 19 and 20 year olds into the world to knock on my door and tell me my religion is incorrect and they have the answers I seek. When you stop having your elementary school aged children telling my daughters in the school and play grounds thatour church is the “great whore”. Then you can put on your “don’t push our religion hat on people,especially unless they have a desire” hat.
  
  My homes gets missionary visitors at least once a quarter. I have never indicated an interest. I have read the bofm twice so that I would know what is being preached to my daughters when they are with their friends. I know it is not true and that Joseph Smith was not a true prophet. I know that gb did not offer truth in his polygamy history lesson but that is called lying for the Lord. I have friends in your church and friends who have left, as well as many who are still in who will not give up social side of the church despite dismissing the bofm as make believe.
  
  Believe what you want. but please do your homework.

  The ONLY poll that matters is the one on ELECTION day.
  
  Democrats love to use exaggerated polls
  because they play to all the dumbos out there,
  with one finger in the wind & the other up their nose,
  who catch the whiff on these flawed polls
  & decide to vote for the so-called “declared” winner-
  all because if they vote for the “declare” winner,
  they can declare themselves a winner, too…….the “MORON” vote !
  
  Moronic polls yield moronic votes-
  hopefully enough of them are moronic enough
  to think the “Declared” winner is SO far ahead that THEIR vote is redundant
  & skip out on voting, altogether !

  It is later summer and the attention span of modern “polled sample” Americans is very short. Not everyone is interested in politics the way that perhaps posters here on both sides of the aisle might be. Romney is aware of that…..Obama has to keep spending money on ads to keep his mug in the public’s short lived campaign mode. In this day and age where cable news runs 24 hours a day seven days a week…..a national political candidate has to leverage time and money without suffering from the perception of public burnout…..that is why for example the mainstream media is trying their best to quash the mess in North Africa and sweep it under the Obama carpet…..but I bet you and I will see very soon……like a marathon runner…..that the Romney campaign will kick the pace up a couple notches…..and like successful marathon runners….will cross the finish line in first place. i am not sure what you meant by the Mormon comments in your post……that aspect of this race is a non sequitur…..which might explain the several “what are you talking about?” retorts to your post. Romney knows exactly what he is doing….he is no Bob Dole or John McCain. He is pacing himself just the way a National candidate must do…..when they are not in the pockets of the mainstream media……in fact the less you hear from Romney in the mainstream media…..the better he is really doing…..with or without Democratic Poll sampling errors.

  The polls were skewed with Reagan and George H.W. Bush. They went on to win, Reagan in a landslide. What about the 2010 midterms when Republicans won from the House to dog catcher. The Democrats were kicked to the curb. Things have become worse for the American people. Do you think they were voting in 2010 to get rid of these freaks or do you think things have changed in Obama’s favor?

  Newsmax has an article that Romney’s all-important convention speech was thrown together at the last minute after Romney’s manager Stuart Steven’s threw out two other versions. I mean entirely. That’s why there was no mention of Afghan and the troops. In their haste, they “forgot.” Pat Caddell called this the worst campaign he’s ever heard of and that’s going some when you think about Dole’s (also run by Stevens) and McCain’s.
  Romney seemed to do just fine when running against and attacking conervatives among his primary rivals but not so much against the inept far far Left Obama.
  If Romney handles himself in the debates they way he did in his acceptance speech it’s all over and we are in for a perhaps irreparably diminished America, a crippled ineffectual welfare state apologizing for its very existence as we leave the worls stage to others. That the American sheeple don’t see this or don’t care as long as they get their free stuff (at the cost of their liberites) is a tragedy.
  Maybe after four more years of the Manchurian candidtate, providence will send us a new Reagan. Or a second American Revolution.

  You may think you mean well, but you couldn’t be further off base. First, the democrats notoriously use every device, fraudulent or not, ethical or not, legal or not to get their candidate seated. They are typically dumbfounded by facts and the president’s failures, but that does not make any difference. The groups in question; black or white people on welfare and waiting for their free-ride to continue, illegal immigrants (typically uneducated, poor, minimal work skills, and latino), thick headed pseudo-intellects who favor socialism or communism, and unions. The polls are one of many false information bases used to influence people who are too naive or lazy to comprehend the past four years under a narcissistic autocrat. Your job? Vote for the person most likely to turn the economy around and start showing America as a major power, again. Romney is the only choice you can conclude.

  That’s your feeling from listening to his critics. Listen to him and make a choice based on that. I watched both conventions, GOP was positive,”we can do this” and truthful about having to make some hard choices to get us on track to succeed again. Dems were negative, attack, war on women, free stuff and everything that is wrong with GOP not what might be right about Dems. I think going with the people who have a positive attitude about life is the way to success not the Eyore, boo hoo group.

These polls are tricks by the Democraps to get you to feel that your candidate just cannot win and therefore keep you from going out and voting….don’t pay attention to the polls, especially since David Axelrod (chicago thug boss) just threatened the Gallup for putting Romney ahead. REMEMBER, YOUR VOTE COUNTS AND YOU NEED TO SHOW UP AND VOTE AGAINST OBAMA.

  There’s an obvious Democratic strategy afloat to make people think Obama is winning so surely that they need not vote for Romney on Election Day. Don’t be fooled. Obama has lost much of the Jewish vote, some of the Black vote, some of the Hispanic vote, and a lot of the Youth vote. Michael Moore revealed their tactics pretty clearly recently when he said about Republicans “You only have ONE vote.”

  The Democrat Convention was a disaster and hurt Obama. Romney showed a real bounce after the Republican Convention. Just remember 2010 and the recent Wisconsin election. Do you seriously think that anyone feels better about Obama today since those elections? Not very likely. Do not believe the bullying tactics that the main stream media are using against Romney in order to deflect attention from Obama’s failed Middle East policies. They want you to think that the Conservative viewpoint is in the minority, when just the opposite is the truth. Obama is not going to win in November. If he was, the pollsters would not be hiding their flawed methodologies.

Ignore polls. Do not let them influence you into not voting. I heard a guy on the news yesterday say that the polls will be slanted until about 2 weeks before the election. Then the polls will suddenly change because the polling company want to be as accurate to the final election numbers as possible because if they are off by too much no one will hire them in the future. Right now all they are doing is trying to dampen the enthusiasm, which results in a drop of campaign contributions. I normally do not donate much but I think I will give $25 to Romney. I feel that it is my small part in helping get rid of the moron who how holds the office.

  Polls of ANY stripe (political, athletic etc) are as credible as ‘news reports/journalists.’ — FULLA **** to advance an agenda. — the PEOPLE have been increasingly indoctrinated against the base of that which is GOOD within the human element — REASON, wisdom and LOGIC. — Today’s alternate reality tangent revolves around false premises, delusional thinking, denial, hassle and ridicule. The jumping off point for loons for THIS generation was when folks bought Clinton looking the camera right in the eye boasting, ‘I did NOT have sex with that woman,’ followed by the clown show ‘fake’ impeachment process championed by Newt Gingrich (there’s {a}moral guy…!) — Prior to that we saw the RELIGIOUS zealots come unglued with Jim and Tammy Baker, and Jimmy Swaggart — then Oral Roberts on a fund-raising campaign attempting to GUILT folks into donating – ‘God would call him home if he didn’t raise $xx.00 – this is the Alma Mater of one ‘tax lawyer,’ Bachmann, don’t forget… THINK for yourselves, people… that’s the very essence of freedom. Calling a lamb’s tail a leg and making it ‘legal’ don’t make it so…. It goes 180 degrees counter to everything we KNOW to be true. Sensory over-load… – 2+2=5 — STAND! It’s only money…….

Thank GOD, HE has allowed us to see, to know, to understand. So many are yet deceived. Pray for them, and pray for us all.

It will take a miracle of GOD, our hard work, blood, sweat, tears and hearts broken before GOD to save this country.

I would suggest that in our enthusiasm to save her that we not make AMERICA our god. Our GOD can only be GOD, the GOD of Joseph, Jacob, Moses, Isaiah, David, Daniel, Amos, Paul, Peter, Timothy, John, you and me and all those who followed, believed and loved HIM. Remember HE said, “Thou shalt have no other gods before ME.”

Pray on, BLAZERS.
Stay alert. Stay in touch.

  Barry is a MUSLIM, he’s said so on many occasions, so this election, we’ll see who has the most power, the Christian hating Allah or our Saviour Jesus Christ. I bet the Las Vegas odds are on Allah.

You would rather read about the LDS Church from a 2nd or 3rd Party based strictly on opinion and out of context information than going to the LDS Church website and read for your own self about the Mormon Church. When you refuse to read and learn about a Religion from that Religions website, which most have now, then it is you who refuses to be open minded and educated. Last week Glenn had posted an article about all the Myths that people spew about Mormons, but you won’t read it because it’s coming out of Glenn Becks mouth and not out of the mouth of an Anti Mormon. Believe in what you want, but I know the truth about Mormons and the Church and that is all I need to know.

  AshesToAshes: Honesty requires that you quote the official Democrat Party site for Democrat Party opinions and views, the official Republican Party site for Republican opinions and views, President Obama’s official statements for his opinions and views, Mitt Romney’s for his, Netanyahu’s for Israel’s, Mormon.org for the Mormon Church’s, Glenn Beck’s official statements and programs for his, Rush Limbaugh’s web site for his, . . . etc.
  
  It is unconscionably dishonest to state that the views of the enemies of any of those persons or organizations are in fact the views of those entities.
  
  Be honest . . . or be silent.

What they are ignoring is that conservatives will in this election crawl through broken glass and hot coals to pull the lever against 0bama where in previous elections they may have just stayed home. I know that there is nothing that will stop me from voting against 0bama short of my death. I am willing to bet that there are a LOT of other conservatives who feel the exact same way that I do. I don’t think that the other side has that level of ‘enthusiasm’.

Liberalism is a mental disorder. Progressives are a virus. Democrats are Godless.

  What do you mean? There’s no conservatives running. It’s two progs that agree on practically everything except gay marriage, domestic energy and who should pay more in the PROGRESSIVE tax code. Are you saying you’re ready to vote 3rd party? I think you’ll have to if you want to rid Washington of progressives.

Obama has a huge following of course most of them are out of work and on welfare. Romney should be way ahead because Obama is such a screw up. Our gas is now four dollars where I live, we have high unemployment numerous fore closures oil is 4.00 a gallon here. What is it going to take for Americans to wake up? I worry about the stupidity of the people that are still supporting this incompetent boob. Seniors have no idea that as soon as Obama care kicks in they are all going on vouchers, no choice at all, and the ones who are already on medicare will be going on vouchers. Romney is letting the seniors stay and people under 54 will have two choices regular medicare or money to buy another insurance but that isn’t going to kick in for fifteen years. Something is wrong with this country if people can’t see what a disaster Obama has caused. Romney needs to get it together and start fighting back and make his platform clearer.

  I’m a stay at home mom, who’s husband works 10 hour days. I stay home and take care of our adult handicapped child so we aren’t aburden on the already stressed SSI system. Most political polling happens during the day time. Who do you think they’re getting ahold of? I live in a “taker” neighborhood and I get A LOT of polling calls. I got one that asked just one question, who are you going to vote for? After that, they said thank you, good bye. They didn’t pursue it because I didn’t answer like they thought I would, based on my neighborhood. That’s how they skew the results. They poll where they expect to get the answer they want, and throw out the ones that answer differently.

I think Obama will win, because he’s less of a hypocrite than Romney is. At least Obama tells the truth about businesses when he says you didn’t build that – because he’s right – Fiat currency built it or you wouldn’t have gotten start-up money. And gold isn’t money, and that’s why Bernanke said gold isn’t money, so he’ll just keep on printing.

  I think Watersrpeople just won the dumbest and ignorant comment of the day award. How can I say this, NOT EVERY BUSINESS WAS STARTED FROM BORROWING MONEY TO BUILD IT. People do save up money for years before they start their own business and do BUILD IT THEMSELVES.
  Gold is not money? Gold is better than money and why is it the every Country holds Gold? It is because Gold increases in value and does not decrease like our Dollar does. Gold can be bought at a certain price, but the return value is more because Gold prices are constantly going up so you get more of a return when you cash your Gold in. We used to have a Gold Standard and is what this Country was ran on until someone decided to get rid of it. Apparently you do not understand the value of Gold and how the Gold Standard we used to have was a better currency system than what we have now.

  The people reflected in these polls have given up hope of seeing light at the end of the tunnel. They actually WANT a party and president in control who want to “take care of them” even if it means giving up their freedom and rights as Americans.
  
  You can compare it to a woman who stays with a man who beats her up, because the alternative is living on the streets with her kids.

  Be afraid, be very afraid. If they were Smart Americans, we wouldn’t have this person in the White House now would we?
  If we were smart Americans, there wouldn’t be a communist democratic party now would there?
  If we were smart Americans, we wouldn’t have a Republican party that is almost as bad as the Democrat party, now would we?
  If we were smart Americans, this nonsense would have stopped with Wilson being impeached, wouldn’t it?
  But the truth is that most Americans can barely tie their shoes in the morning. Another truth is that the last time most Americans actually read a book was in school while most young Americans don’t even know who their states governor or the vice-president of this country is.
  To say that Americans are politically naive is being very, very kind to the fools that are out there and actually vote.
  So yes, do your best to educate these people even though it is worse than frustrating. We have to try because if Dear Leader wins or finds some what to not have this election, the American Experiment is over.

The Journalists Creed…written in 1914 by Walter Williams, founder of the Missouri School of Journalism. How many in journalism / media actually subscribe to this?

“I believe in the profession of journalism. I believe that the public journal is a public trust; that all connected with it are, to the full measure of their responsibility, trustees for the public; that acceptance of a lesser service than the public service is betrayal of this trust”.

Not only to drive down enthusiasm but to feed the narrative that the election was stolen by depressing the vote with voter ID and the like. See every poll has Obama winning by 5-8 so when he loses by 9 that only can happen by cheating. Even if the election exit polls show it to be a R+5 election. The cries for stolen election would be 2000x worse than in 2000 Bush V Gore.

How else would that explain the huge discrepancy in the outcome of the election from what was polling before the election”. You know the topic will be beaten to death, resurrected, and beaten to death again, and again……

The main stream media are the enemy of the people and can’t be believed. Ignore them. Without a doubt there are white Americans who have been labelled racist if you don’t love Obama and will not give their true feelings to a stranger in a telephone poll, but in the privacy of a polling booth will not vote for the ruination of their country for their children by voting for Obama again. It’s been said many times, but it’s true…..many whites voted for Obama in 2008 to prove they aren’t a racist but will vote against Obama in 2012 to prove they aren’t a moron.

Also part of the reason might be everytime I get an automated survey, I tell them I am going to vote for Obama. Also that I am a hispanic or black, male or female, none of which is true. IMHO, let him stay ahead in the polls, people will feel he is doing fine and is for sure to win, they will feel less pushed to get out and vote for him.

  Countrygirl: I get polled constantly and I don’t think it is random. I am a “likely voter” for a number of reason, including geographic. Like you, I tell them just the opposite of how I am going to vote, give them a different age group, etc. Just like the mainstream media, these polls are rigged and end up being wrong much of the time. Both Dems and Republicans do their own private polling and use their own focus groups so don’t depend on the commercial polls. Go to Freedom Works and get involved, even if it is just tweeting articles favorable to Romney.

  There are some in the Libertarian / Constitutionalist camp that are voting for Obama. I believe they’re the minority, but they feel that both candidates are the same and they’re either worried about Romney’s foreign policy, or they just want to punish the GOP for the flim flam from primaries/convention. I personally can’t see how anyone can vote for either of the two. I’m stuck between not voting, writing in Paul or voting Gary Johnson.

I don’t know who they are sampling, but I have never in my 44+ years of being able to vote been “sampled,” and I’ve lived in a large eastern city area, and in rural upstate New York for over twenty-four years now. I do not vote the “NY Democrat” way, so when they are assuming that NY is Democrat, they do not understand how many of us outside of NYC are not!

I do believe that the “pushing of Obama” in this election may backfire for them! Many are not discouraged by these poles, but rather driven to be MORE LIKELY to participate in the election, because we realized we must defeat this administration!

I also wonder how many people are answering FOR the Democrat stand just to skew the poles, but will vote Republican in the end. Those for whom I worry most are the “third party candidate” spoilers who WILL NOT UNDERSTAND that by using their vote in this way, may elect the person they DO NOT WANT TO WIN, instead of the better choice. Oh well, some will go to their grave standing so firmly on superficial principles that they will go there early.

I never thought I’d say this, but I understand the importance: Romney/Ryan 2012!
