Most right leaning people, just dont answer, very few right leaning people will ever partake in a poll. The polls are being skewed so that when Romney wins (by a significant margin too), the dems will scream a foul, and will usher in the UN to claim election fraud. |
PravdaDemocrat  User ID: 19228212 United States10/01/2012 08:40 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | One of the most amazing and significant statistics of this election season has gone almost completely unnoticed: Quoting: Anonymous Coward 7193106 Only 9% of sampled households gave an answer to pollsters in 2012: It has become increasingly difficult to contact potential respondents and to persuade them to participate. The percentage of households in a sample that are successfully interviewed the response rate has fallen dramatically. At Pew Research, the response rate of a typical telephone survey was 36% in 1997 and is just 9% today. The general decline in response rates is evident across nearly all types of surveys, in the United States and abroad. At the same time, greater effort and expense are required to achieve even the diminished response rates of today. These challenges have led many to question whether surveys are still providing accurate and unbiased information.

THIS and Soros' spainish vote counting company needs the American public to think the race is close so Soros can trow the vote to Obama. Or If Romney wins it can't be in a landslide. The elite don't want a mandate to overturn Obama ledgislation. |

Gallup used to be pretty reliable but they have been threatened by this administration, Axlerod, so I don't know about them now. Hope they stay honest.

| Anonymous Coward User ID: 22322054  Netherlands10/01/2012 09:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The article OP posted says it's hard for pollsters to make good polls since they can't find enough people to question who they are going to vote for. You can't a good view on how the American people stand so far when you questioned just a small percentage of the population. There is no relation between the article and Obama being ahead in the polls, unless someone could prove that white people suddenly stopped answering the pollsters and the blacks didn't or something. If you ask me why Romney is behind: His presentation looks fake, you can see clearly it's all acted. The leaked video. Changing his opinion on certain subjects, for example: abortion. Most people voting on Romney don't vote because of Romney, they vote Romney because they don't like Obama. |

This comports with the consistent record of accuracy achieved by major polls when it comes to estimating election outcomes, among other things. again: despite declining response rates, telephone surveys that include landlines and cell phones and are weighted to match the demographic composition of the population continue to provide accurate data on most political, social and economic measures.

Out of the liberals only one is going to the polls to vote for Mr. Obama. The others are staying home not because they like Romney they just lack enthusiasm this time around for Obama. It's the economy I think that has them down and the way the country is much more divided that disappoints them. The polls I am certain are nonsense or deliberately false. |
