If you're gonna go D+11, why not just do a D+20 poll and get the result you really want?

Lazy liberals again, cutting corners instead of doing the work to get what they want.

The bias is just sad. The Regan Carter polls showed a dead heat all the way to the end too.

The only upside to blatant pollster lies is the screams of horrified surprise from DUmmies. Well, that and Chris Matthews crying like a baby

After reading the link that Chris_ posted, there's good news. One, they undersampled R's by at least 9 points for the way turnout will actually happen. Two, assuming that all the R's and D's voted along party lines, independents are breaking 80% Romney to 20% for O.

Statistical dead heat with a heavy democrat weighting.  The main scream polls still not willing to project Romney in the lead but are starting to hedge their bets in an attempt to maintain any crumb of credibility they may still possess.

Mr.Mannn is correct It's 1980 all over again.

Pollsters don't "do" a party ID sample. Pollsters weight only on stuff that's in the census (race, age, etc.) The party sample (D+ whatever number) is what comes out of the poll questions. If CNN asked people whether they are D or R, the result cannot be changed because it didn't please you.

CNN just said the reason the poll is a D+11 is because it wouldn't make it a tie. Making it lower would make Romney way ahead. Just like stated before, they are trying to make this look like a win for obama.

Are you saying that pollsters can't or won't sample based on the attribute of a person's political party affiliation? AYFKM??

Never mind -- don't bother answering. Just do us a favor and show up here tomorrow night, as wasp69 suggests.  :evillaugh:

From page 29, in big letters for pandric...

Among those likely voters, 41% described themselves as Democrats, 29% described themselves as Independents, and 30% described themselves as Republicans.
