the worst stories, etc. I can usually tell by the headline who posted something, and sadly.. you are one of the handful of Debbie Downers that seem to relish doing that. If that's not your intention, then you might want to take a look at what you're posting all the time.. it's ALWAYS bad.

No other poll shows numbers like that for Romney in Florida. The Obama campaign shot it down today, too.

Why is it that some people assume that we should just ignore polls that we don't like? That anyone who would even post it MUST be a "concern troll"???

There's good reason to think that the poll is faulty, but normal unbiased polling is expected to be off beyond the margin of error on about one poll out of twenty.

Don't know if they're "concerned" or motivated in other ways.. but it gets old.

What was the methodology???? What was the sample??? There is no fucking way that anyone changed from the President to Romney after the debate. Didn't happen.

And neither ARG nor Rasmussen leans at all left in their results.

It's reasonable to assume that Florida now leans for Romney, but seven points begins to hit the "pull advertising dollars out of the state" level... and there's no way we're there.

And, of course, this is all pre-2nd-debate. VP debates don't tend to have much impact, but it certainly didn't hurt us.
