a near dead even race in two days or even less..How does he have a lead in most swing states and down to dead even..That is the script the "liberal" media is reading. It would take a hell of a lot longer to conduct an honest to goodness accurate poll with a convincing number of and correct geographical location sampling in a lot longer than two days...So is the fix is in? and as long as its close we lose? Cause they could steal the damn thing with the MSM blessings.
With all the negatives against Romney and Ryan by the public I find these numbers total BS

(25,219 posts)seems like they devoted a lot of air time talking up this death duo. Aiding and abetting. Partners in crime with the Repugs.

(39,451 posts)He will get another bump after the RNC convention....
Then people will realize how insane Rich & Richer are, and their numbers will go down.
No biggie...
If the poll numbers are this close around Halloween - then we can worry. But not now.
As far as the msm - they are just in it for the ratings - they want this race to be a nail bitter.

(2,921 posts)Dead cat bounce, or more accurately, a flat cat splat is more likely registered in the polls for Rmoney and Lyin' Ryan.
Obama still carries a 7-9 lead, and will be increasing significantly as the time winds down towards Election Day.

(103,856 posts)so polling is done , with questions, zipcodes & time strategically chosen so a "bump" is created....then the effervescent media types polish the bump until it becomes a B U M P...and we rinse & repeat ad nauseum
perception becomes reality

(26,060 posts)Which poll are you referring to? Also, I have no idea why so much attention is given to national polls.
