And the strong/disapprove vs strove/approve is the best since 2009 at -8.

It's raw data from thousands and thousands of essentially free robo calls as once you have the system set up the calls are free... All he has to is slightly alter the model.

Now people care what this guy thinks? The polls have been so screwed that we really have NO clue what to believe anymore about this election. It wouldn't shock me if either candidate is actually up 10 in either direction for all we know. I've never seen such weird polling fluctuations.

Rasmussen was plus 4 for Romney not too long ago and now is tied. Only Gallup showed Mitt up 5 and that poll was suspended due to the storm.

The rest of the national polls have been showing a tied race for about 2 weeks or more. The state polls have been showing Obama slightly ahead in the swing states except for NC, which is about tied.

I feel the pollsters have been polling to create / mantain narratives helpful to Romney. The national polls more so than the state polls obviously.

I believe there wasn't so much a swing in the preference of the electorate but a swing in Rasmussen's preference to get it right so he can maintain his viability for the next election.

Thanks. I needed that.
