Take this Chuck Todd, another poll, PEW Research says Obama +10
Todd refuses to acknowledge that Obama's numbers are strong and they are getting stronger everyday.

Last night after the CBS poll came out, he said NO WAY, NOBODY thinks that Obama is up double digits...etc. The asshole did not mention that the day before and same day in the morning, Newsweek had him up 11, and the daily Gallup had him up 10, and ABC poll had him +10!!!

Now take this you bastard: http://thepage.time.com/

Chuck Flodd has this same attitude about PA early last week, polls were saying about 8 points Obama lead, he said NO WAY NO HOW, it is only +4 or so...etc. Now the PA polls are showing Obama up double digits!!!

Conclusion, the polls, all of them, are a step ahead of this punk!!!

P.S. Maybe he only believes their own NBC/WSJ poll...Does anyone know if it comes out tonight?

2. Has Chuck ever given up on that Bush bounce he predicted
in 2007 after an incredibly successful surge?

3. stuck in conventional wisdom
Many pundits are still in this place. It takes a little for the wisdom to change. Todd is a fair man suck in this punditry place.

8. I beg to differ.
"Todd is a fair man ..." Seemingly every time Chucky T has had an opportunity to spin polling statistics the GOP's way, he defaults to THAT path. :(

4. where is the +4 from that he keeps referring to?
Is he claiming that this comes from the campaign's internal polling? I mean, if I worked for the campaign, I don't think think I would even share the internal polling with Chuck Todd. Oh well, whatever gets people to the polls...He did look downright UPSET when the NYT poll came out last night...I wondered if he is still making up for the incident with Peggy Noonan and Mike Murphy.

11. It's a cherry pick from the Zogby/Reuters: Obama 48-44
here's the link:

"UTICA, New York – The race for the White House has developed a familiar ebb and flow in advance of tonight’s final presidential debate, as Democratic Party presidential nominee Barack Obama remains slightly ahead of Republican John McCain, but cannot seem to break away, the latest results from the Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily tracking telephone poll shows.

After making a move forward the day before, edging outside the margin of error, yesterday’s three-day rolling average showed Obama again sliding back. He still leads McCain by a 48.2% to 44.4% margin, an advantage of 3.8 percentage points. This comes after leading by 6.2 percentage points the day before.

In this latest report on the three-day rolling average, McCain gained 1.6 percentage points, while Obama lost 0.8 percentage points."

13. From Zogby site: "(Washington professionals) love John Zogby...
“(Washington professionals) love John Zogby, whose polls for the Reuters news service provided shreds of good (and, as it turns out, accurate) tidings during the campaign. Republican parents will be naming their children Zogby for a year.” Cleveland Plain Dealer.

(scroll down - this is the page where they try to sell you the service and has many quotes about Zogby polls, etc.)

15. Like that is so much better for them?
And I am sure GOP internals polls project a greater Republican turnout than that which can be reasonably expected.

10. Chuckie Baby is just following instructions he received..'keep it close'...
Don't forget that the MSM has a profit incentive, and a runaway win by Obama won't pull in the viewers in like a close race.

He does not believe what he is saying...
