Electoral-vote.com: Wassup? Seems to have frozen out new polls with JK
taking the lead in some BIG states. Laziness? Agenda? What?
:shrug:

Any other sites with the "scroll over the states" kind of thingy to keep up with the latest state results in a graphical way?

1. He just does not want Dems to vote
He is "Fair and Balanced" just like Fox.

4. How do you know he is a Democrat?
Bill O'Reilly claims to be independent.

Claiming Democrat to make your right wing spin seem more believable is common from the right.

5. I've noticed the same thing. I used to download from the site. No more.

There are plenty other good sources of info.

I love his site layout, but his numbers have been way off lately.

He admits Survey USA and Strategic Vision are Repuke polls, but he keeps using them, because they poll every day. Also Rasmussen.

He is being duped, if you ask me, by these Repuke pollsters who have plenty of money to throw around.

6. I don't know if HE is being duped, or WE are being duped, who might
have thought him impartial.

It's just that the last few days I've seen a bunch of polls here on DU showing important shifts to JK in OH and FL especially among others, and they are not showing up on his site.

I mean, if the CNN.com site is showing JK ahead in EV now and electoral-vote is not, that tells you something.

I guess I am in the process of deciding I am officially through with this guy and his site. Just trying to alert the rest of the board.

I wish I could find another one with a similar layout and with the latest state polls, who would be willing to actually post ALL the polls!

10. Democrat talk, republican friendly results = Republican in charge.
Sorry, his methodology is NOT good. Admits crap polls but uses anyway in some deluded vision of "ethics" or "fairness" -- He's a dumbass who let his site's popularity go to his head, and don't believe for a minute he doesn't have an agenda: He does.

11. He DID show JK way up earlier. But the whole thing of the site is to have
the LATEST state polls up to look at. Now, in the critical stretch, there are polls starting to show some of the key states starting to tie or break in JK's favor, notably OH and FL, and somehow these results are not making it to e-v but I'm seeing them from isolated posts on DU. That is what has me concerned.
