Why Romney is losing - A new set of battleground polls shows that the month of September has been especially brutal for the GOP nominee

Of course the polls are going to show this when they over sample democrats by 10+%.

Sheesh!

Maybe Democrats are in the MAJORITY?
Has that ever occurred to you??

romney is losing because he is a pathetic excuse for a candidate. he has no direction, and has alienated himself from most of the population. the fact that obama has been this bad and romney is losing ground proves it. you don't need polls to see it

A new set of polls conducted by Quinnipiac for the New York Times and CBS News paint a grim picture for Mitt Romney, who faces daunting gaps in three big states.

The surveys put Barack Obama ahead by 10 points in Ohio (53-43 percent), nine in Florida (53-44), and 12 in Pennsylvania (54-42). We can apply all sorts of disclaimers here about how any or all of the polls could be outliers, how Pennsylvania probably isn’t a swing state, or how focusing on individual state polls may not be the best way to understand the flow of the national race. But taken together, they represent the latest piece of evidence that Obama is the clear leader and offer some insight into how he’s built and maintained his advantage.

For instance, the poll finds the president opening a gigantic 25-point edge among women in Ohio, 60 to 35 percent. With men, Romney actually leads by eight. In Florida, Romney is up three with men but down 19 with women. (We’ll leave Pennsylvania out of this analysis, since it’s now widely assumed to be an Obama state – although it should be noted that the Romney campaign made plenty of noise earlier in the race about winning it.)

These are some of the most dramatic illustrations we’ve seen yet of the gender gap that Obama and his party have been trying to exploit all year. It also meshes with a national study that found that among those who said earlier this year that they planned to vote for Romney, women are twice as likely as men to have defected to Obama’s camp.

The polls are intentionally skewed to give a false impression. Romney is up by 7.8%.

Like OBAMA, you fugging hypocrite?

GOT HUMANITARIAN BOMBING?
Got Libya?
Got Drone?
More soldiers have died under OBAMA in Afghanistan, than in 6 years under Bush.
WHERE IS YOU FAKED OUTRAGE ABOUT THAT, SHILL?

You don't think much for yourself, and let the TV do it for you, eh?

If Obama is so far ahead in Ohio, why is he spending so much time, and so much MONEY there? 20-25% of his ad spend for Sept has been in Ohio.

Of course, MSNBC hasn't told you what you think about this, yet. But there it is. That's why you are seeing polls with +D bias as high as 17 points. To give you the IMPRESSION that Obama is way ahead in Ohio.

I can tell you I see no evidence of that on the ground in Ohio. People are shaking their heads at these polls asking each other "Are they nuts? Do you know ANYONE voting for Obama?"

Bullshit. He's spending time and money there to defend. No, the polls are not oversampling D's as much as you would like to claim. Its a fact that there are more registered D's than R's. As a student of political science, I was taught that those number are about 34-35% D, 27-28% R, while the remaining 36-37% identify as Independent, nationally. Within a standard deviation of + or - 3. "The polls are wrong", is the last bastion of a doomed campaign. This race is far from over, but at the moment, Romney is losing this race. Maybe he can turn it around. But for your sake, you had better hope that he and the campaign, dont have the caviler attitude you seem to have about all that has happened in the last few weeks. Because, by ignoring the snowball of momentum rolling towards Romney, and trying to spin this defeat into some rare form of victory. You are becoming isolated by denial while your candidate alienates larger and larger blocks of voters, and you cheer him along as he goes. Or do you really think there are enough conservative republicans to win this election?

as an example of the Bias, a CNN poll reduced the independents in a recent poll by 75%. Their poll showed Obama up by 6%, but unskewing it showed Romney ahead by 8%!

Many pollsters are using the record setting 2008 as their benchmark ignoring what happened in 2010.

They are also ignoring voter intensity which is overwhelmingly in favor of Romney.

Their reporting is intentional in an attempt to sway the voters with the weakest minds.

Stop being an idiot.

They have a call list they use of registered voters. They simply call more Democrats than Republicans. Hence the skewed polls.
