"As predicted here, the pollsters begin taking concern for accuracy over desired results, and begin skewing the polls less.
And not ironically, as they do that, even before the first presidential debate, the polls get closer. While Obama lead in every poll during the yellow error and by an average of 6 percent, the skew during the red phase declines to 4.8 points and the average Obama lead falls to just 1.5 percent. In the last five polls done, Romney has an average lead of 1.6 percent while the average skew of those polls is 3 percent. So clearly the polls are skewed less and Romney is leading and starting to lead by even larger margins. The illusion of Obama winning has disappeared. Even liberals who said the race was all but over are admitting they were wrong and acknowledging that Romney just might win this election." -- UnSkewed Polls -- erasing the bias to show an accurate picture of politicsPosted by gerardvanderleun at October 15, 2012 12:06 PM
The final poll is what matters. We'll see who is ahead on 11/7.
Posted by: Peccable at October 16, 2012 3:17 AMWill the pollsters give Obama one more push after the pathetic excuse for a debate last night?
Candy Chowhound interrupted Romney 28 times, Obama only 9 times. She gave Obama 9% more speaking time too. Not to mention she took off her referee jersey and actually joined the debate on Benghazi.
Romney was alone out there against his actual opponent, and the "moderator", and also the 82 undecided voters who applauded when Chowhound gave Mitt the beatdown.
A new low in what's left of the tattered sails of journalism.
