Smoke and mirrors does not reflect reality; just smoke. The attempt by Obama-bots to spin and hype this election with phony polls and studies is getting ridiculous. In the latest from Pew, they sample 20% more Democrats than Republicans...and are claiming a Obama advantage of 10%; Wow, whoda thunk it. Soo what they are really saying is that evan after padding the sample by 20points, there guy only comes out ahead by 10...Lolol, Oh yea baby. that's some 'Win'. Pull the other one, its got bells on.

President Barack Obama has one of the biggest leads we've seen for him in quite a long time in a new Pew Research Poll: He's up 10 points over Mitt Romney.

Don't take much from it, though. Pew's sample of registered voters is highly skewed, oversampling Democrats by almost 20 points. Pew surveyed 1,956 registered voters. Of those, 42 percent were Democrats and just 23 percent were Republicans. We can't remember a poll being that imbalanced.

Pew's poll in June also slightly oversampled Democrats and gave Obama a 7-point lead.

So what we can take from this is that Independents are still split on the two candidates, but they've trended toward Romney in the past few weeks. Independents in the poll voted for Romney, 45 percent to 43 percent. That's a 3-point swing from Pew's last poll, when Obama was up 46-45.

Obama is not doing so well in the battle ground states. At this stage in the election he is running behind the 2008 poll numbers.



:

All 12 of the traditional battleground states showed Obama at less than 50 percent approval.

Obama was at 46 percent in Florida, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Virginia. He was at 43 percent in Colorado, the site of the 2008 convention.



Obama had the lowest approval rating, of 26 percent, in Utah.

I stopped watching the polls after a Republican told me Intrade has a much better record of picking the winner. I never trust what any Republican tells me any more so I checked it out and sure enough, a Republican actually told me the truth.



Oh, did I mention that Intrade has President Obama winning? 58%-39%.

Romney owns Rasmussen polling service, and has major shares in the Gallup poll agency .......... Do you find that rather strange?



All the other polls show that in electoral college votes, Romney has no chance.





Game over

This just shows why individual polls are rather meaningless this far from the election.



I only hope Democrats will take it to heart and ease up. :)

I trust Gallup more. They're practically neck and neck.



But really, who cares though? They're the same as each other and the same as Bush.
