NBC Poll with 8% more Democrats surveyed than Republicans has Obama up by 6% . An idiot's polling method, no??!


NBC/WSJ poll: Negative campaign takes toll on candidates; Obama up six points


Actually,  when you count all who "lean" one way or another, those who lean Left  total 46% of those polled while those who lean Right total 35%  ---  an 11 point margin in favor of Obama and he won by 6 (?!!!).  Kind of looks like Romney won 5 points or maybe we should disregard this poll altogether.                            

Strong Democrat ...............................................  24 %

Not very strong Democrat .................................  11
Independent/lean Democrat ...............................  11
Strictly Independent ..........................................  16
Independent/lean Republican .............................  12
Not very strong Republican ...............................   7
Strong Republican .............................................  16 %
Other (VOL) .......................................................  2
  Not sure ...........................................................  1
+ Results shown reflect responses among registered voters.

Such a shame sham that we (the good guys) have to put up with this statistical nonsense.  One wonders "Why do they take a poll at all if they are going to stack the demographics in their favor?"  Answer:  a thing called plausible deniability.

  1. The preponderance of ALL polls show Romney is losing. If Obama wins any one of 3 states: OH, FL, VA... it is game over for Romney. Obama leads in all of them (RCP avg). Obama can lose OH, FL, and VA and still win the presidency. Romney can not. Obama is leading in ALL SEVEN swing states: including IA, NV, CO, NH

    Give up Smithson, you can't win. Everythng you do here is a huge waste of time. Get a life.

  2. The preponderance of all polls have a Left leaning bias that gives a 4 to 12 point advantage to the Leftists' election-related agenda. Of the two of us, you are the only one who will be shocked by the November 6 election results . . . . . . . . as you were back in 2010 when Leftist pollsters where doing the very same thing.
