(32,086 posts)No doubt they bought into the "skewed polls" meme, and are trying to skew them in the other direction.

(70,515 posts)..... women voters.
please tell what has Mitt done to get a 20 point swing among women in the past two
weeks?
GoCubsGo
(32,086 posts)That one had not only a huge jump among women, but also a 7 point jump with African Americans. Pure bullshit.

(99,710 posts)Scott Brown will run well ahead of RobMe in Massachusetts and that poll has Obama with a sixteen point lead which seems huge but is not as huge as the lead he has in other Massachusetts polls.
I will wait to see other polls.

I hope Obama and Axelrod pull their collective heads out of their asses and get ready for the next debate.

(24,736 posts)They've been working their ASSES off in this campaign. Yes, I'm disappointed. But I REFUSE to sit here and armchair throw crap at our Pres and his team. Esp. the Pres.

Horrendous.

(5,942 posts)he had every chance to stand up to the lies.
I am going to bash him every chance I get until he shows me that he will stand up there and fight for us. His performance was sad. Anyone watching politics for the past year or so could have knocked Romney down several pegs very easily, but Obama did nothing.
This goes to the way he governs. Obama sells us liberals out all the time. He runs to the center. He is scared to fight for our values. I hope this is a wake up call, that the people who donate time and money for him, matter in this election. Not just the so-called "independent, undecided voters".

(25,415 posts)Quinnipiac showed McMahon ahead a point and today Rasmussen has Murphy ahead by 5. Murphy went up in the Quinnipiac poll and a PPP poll two weeks ago, therefore there seems to be some movement toward Murphy.
Sometimes, polls show noise. Sometimes they show some real movement away from a candidate for whatever reason. I would wait to see another Mass Senate poll before making conclusions. Warren led in every other poll but this one.

(16,254 posts)We know they can't manipulate the vote if the polls are too far apart. So, they manipulate the polls. Done! Check mark!
Are they being overconfident and starting their move too soon? Are the poll changes a fluke? We know they've been working on this coup for a lonnnnnnng time, so I'm sure they have everything laid out nicely and on schedule. Is this part of the scheduled steps?
Obama/Romney at a tie doesn't bother me because of that stupid debate performance, but this Warren/Brown change and the Obama/Romney recovery on women's votes sent my stomach dropping to my ankles. We aren't that stupid, Rove... You may be able to manipulate males, but once you get us females mad...we "ain't" changing our minds. That was your first mistake.
What's gonna be your second? All eyes are upon you.

(15,041 posts)consistently been the Quinnipiac poll. But I haven't seen one this week.

(58,179 posts)I am really cracking up over the knee-jerk reaction around here: poll has bad news = biased poll. Very Freeperish of us.
Not you, Cyrano. But do look up above your post.
Botany
(70,515 posts)a 20 point pick up by Romney among women
a 7 point pick up by Romney among African Americans
WilliamPitt
(58,179 posts)when all the polls were going Obama's way.
Inconsistent.

(127 posts)...especially those with low post counts. You're right, Obama did a bang-up job in the debate. Political Judo, keeping the powder dry. Yup. Lots of dry powder. Elizabeth is really up 18 points. Pew research is run by Karl Rove. Undecideds always break for the incumbent. Except for senate races in Mass.
Did I miss any?

(25,415 posts)Kaine is ahead in VA, Nelson ahead in FL, Baldwin is ahead in Wisconsin still. Murphy just slipped ahead of McMahon on the RCP average, Brown is still ahead of Mendel. The debate did not effect them in any way. The last poll had Warren ahead of Brown. Stop melting down people. And look at the overall polling before making such dubious claims.
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)I believe that poll has the pres with a sixteen point lead. Other polls showed him with a thirty point lead. I believe I will continue looking at the averages.
WilliamPitt
(58,179 posts)It's the newest poll.
DemocratSinceBirth
(99,710 posts)I will await confirmation before I drink the hemlock.

(4,847 posts)elizabeth warren KNOWS about the banks, knows what needs to be done to monitor and regulate them. For the people's interest, I really hope she wins.
too many americans have been swayed by corporate media, have become zombies to commercialization and blowhard commentators. What it boils down to is who will do the least amount of damage or actually help the majority of the american people in this economic environment? and for me and my family, it's not tough talking bullshite plutocrat mittens or his randian sidekick ryan.
they treat the election like some damn football game, it's too bad that some don't realize that their team may win, but YOU and your loved ones actually wind up losing!
the only polls I'm interested in is the exit polls and it seems some states want to do away with that poll.
