How does Obama go from a 7-9 point lead down to

[INdemo]

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

[still_one]

1. I haven't seen any polls after the nomination. Link?

[1StrongBlackMan]

2. Especially ...

when that same media reported that romney did not get a ryan bump?

[global1]

3. It Sure Seemed Like The MSM Was Playing Up Rmoney/Ryan Big Time Today......

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

4. The poll numbers are going to go up and down right now. Mitt got a bump because of Ryan.

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.

5. What poll? Was it politico?

That's what theirs has said all along, is why I'm asking.

6. It's a dead cat bounce for Rmoney.

[FSogol]

14. +1 Dead Cat Bounce plus some wishful thinking from the media. n/t

[uponit7771]

17. +1

7. I find the reaction some people have to polls they don't like funny

and a wee bit childish. polls go up and down. ryan just joined the ticket. the electorate is closely divided. and on and on.

[Dawgs]

8. Huh? His RCP average went from 4.7 to 3.7 since Friday. Hardly a 7-9 point drop.

Gallup and Rasmussen are all over the place and they are basically the only polls that have been released since Friday.

9. No worries. It's the "Palin Effect".

It's hyped by the bullshit media but the effects are short-lived and ultimately always fatal to the host.

10. You have to look at all the polls and determine if it's an outliar...

Now, you got to expect that once Romney has his convention that he will also get a bounce and it might be an even race or maybe even Romney leading narrowly.

[lonestarnot]

11. Only cheat'n propaganda. No worries. Won't be close enough to cheat.

[craigmatic]

12. I don't see any evidence of a bounce or even that it's getting tight. Just look at

electoral-vote.com or Politicalwire.com.

[ailsagirl]

13. Polls should be taken with a grain of salt

They're inexact, biased, and sometimes downright spurious

[MineralMan]

15. Following polls too closely doesn't make a lot of sense.

Especially right now, with the two conventions coming up. Polls will be bouncing around for another month or so. Then, things start to get serious.

16. Easy, modern day payola.

Easy, modern day payola.

[Selatius]

18. Corporate propaganda is a hell of a drug. nt

[tjwash]

19. SOMEBODY TALK ME DOWN!!!111!!11

Oh...no link, no proof, just concern trolling. Must be getting close to November.

[Panasonic]

20. Polls are often bullshit

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.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

21. The media sells more beer and shampoo in a (supposedly) close race.

[SoCalDem]

22. Because the perception is that when a vice presidential pick is made, there will be a "bump"

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

[leftynyc]

23. No link?

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