I have been seeing a LOT of stuff, all of a sudden, attacking the polling in this election. Here is just ONE example:

I think there is a method to this madness. If they plant the idea in the peoples' minds that the polling now is incorrect, then it will be much easier to explain away the discrepancy if they STEAL the election though voter suppression, electronic voting fraud and other shenanigans.
We need to be vigilant. We need to:
-- Defend the veracity of the good polling.
-- Call bullshit on the bad polling
-- Make it clear that we see their little game coming and will not let them get away with it.

For Romney just had the wife diagnosed with Cancer. If not
for the ACA with their particular circumstances they would be
screwed. A few others have their unemployed or underemployed
20 something's on their policy. "obamacare" is starting to make
A positive difference in people's lives. They are not about to vote
against something that is already working for them though they
will never admit it.
They also believe Obama is a Christian. That Muslim hype is BS
And they know it. Romney is an unknown. Obama they know what
to expect.
I'm cautiously optimistic.

(32,091 posts)Once Obama wins, and Dems win House and Senate seats they wouldn't have won before the various republicans self-immollated, they'll be accusing the Dems of stealing the elections. They're just setting up their usual "blame the other guys for our fuck-ups."

(58,179 posts)They're trying to tamp down any not-worth-it feelings about voting within their base. If Romney is meat, they'll stay home...so of course the polls are wrong. Durr.
