Are we being set up for another election theft??

[Chris_]

Well I don't know about any of you, but if I am asked who I voted for when I am leaving the poll, I'm saying 'Obama' to skew the numbers... sooooooo.... 

I've never spoken to an exit poller.  I was polled over the phone this year, the first time since I started voting.  The questions were similar to those internet quizzes that rank you against political figures and charts the results.  It was pretty detailed and took about 15 minutes.

The DUmmies are missing how the pollsters play their games.  Six months before the election, they can play with the numbers all they want. 

This close to the election, they feel the need to be as accurate as possible so their polling firm will be considered among the most accurate.

I know others have mentioned this but I have not given it much credibility....until now. These recent poll numbers seem to have turned on a dime. I cannot believe people change that quickly. You cannot be for Obama one day and for Mitt Romney the next. You may be "undecided" but people do not change their support in that manner, in my opinion.

What is the psychological impact of polls? Obama supporters discouraged? Romney supporters encouraged? Or would some fence sitters simple decide that their vote isn't needed if there is a big lead in the polls for one candidate or another? One thing for certain, this is no time to be discouraged. If this is their game, we cannot let them succeed.

I hope we do not have to go thru another election where Republicans and the Supreme Court decide that the people of any state, not just Florida, cannot honestly count their own votes. We cannot tolerate another such election.

Only in your feeble little mind.
