I don't see how that adds up. Unless they are eliminating the tie margins.

Simple math. Its just an average.

average the numbers:5,3,3,2,2,1,0,-2,-2,-3

if you dont trust my math or your math hes a site that does it, http://www.calculatorpro.com/calculator/average-calculator/

It does come out to .90. But I was looking Romney to be more than that. He should be. Oh well.

7% jump and Romney is still in the lead? They are doing anything they can to put obama over the top.

Drudge just put this up;

Romney 50% - O'bama 48% in OHIO!

This is getting interesting.

When ABC has Romney up by 1% O'bama is in trouble.  I'll bet they hated posting that.

On Edit;  That's Rasmussen ... I don't trust most of the others.

I guess thinking that they would quit over sampling Dems is out of the question. Those pollsters are nothing but jokes.

not only that but the sheer amount of polls is ridiculous and really skewing any of the poll averaging which has been consistent in the past

Rush Limbaugh is just now mentioning the same thing: for BIG BRObama to win, turn-out needs to be identical to 2008.

Who believes that enthusiasm for MAObama is the same as 4 years ago?  Who believes that enthusiasm for Romney equals that for McLame in 2008?

If anyone does, how do they explain Election 2010 and the rise of the Tea Party movement?  How do they explain the failure to recall the governor of Wisconsin?

With more white males voting for Romney, Obama needs more women and minorities to vote to win.

Don't forget the weather. I'd wade through shark-infested wather to my polls to vote Obama out of office. I'm thinking that the D's won't be as motivated.

I don't think you'll have spear any sharks but you may have to shoot a few black panthers to get to the polls.

Are you really that stupid? All you have to to do is look at their poll sample to know which way they swing. EVERY POLL THEY DO IS D+20,0000! God, you are pathetic .... :thatsright:
