What Media Bias?… New CNN Poll Has Obama Up By 3 With Romney Winning Independents By 8 Points


I don't usually post election-oriented poll information, because I don't believe it is accurate for a variety of reasons. 

But, it is important to note that in this specific poll, the media organization who did the polling skewed the poll +8 for Obama. 

From Gateway Pundit: 
The latest CNN POLL released today has Barack Obama with a lead over Mitt Romney 50-47.The previous CNN Poll after the conventions (Sept. 7-9, 2012) had Obama at 52% and Romney 46%. So Mitt Romney has gained a point in the last three weeks on Obama.(And this is after three weeks of the Obama-media telling Mitt to give up already.)Oh, and this latest CNN poll has Romney leading among Independents by 8 points but losing to Barack Obama by 3 points. Maybe it has something to do with the fact that the poll is weighted with a Democrat + 8 advantage for Obama!What a joke.


  • Here's why the Polls are BULLSHIT:

    1st -
    In general, Polls show 
    it's a statistical tie with obama showing a 1% lead.

  • 2nd
  • 15% of voters are undecided.

  • 3rd
  • The reason Obama won last time is the enthusiasm surrounding his campaign brought out enormous numbers of people who never normally vote.

  • 4th 
    Those people are not so enthusiastic now - and yet they are counted in the polls as Obama voters, because they will still tell pollsters they are voting for Obama, but they are likely to return to their former habit of simply being too lazy to get their asses up off the couch and vote.

    • 5th 
      Undecideds usually go for the new guy not the incumbent, 
      ESPECIALLY WHEN ECONOMIC NEWS IS BAD

    • 6TH
    • Obama is not likely to have won ANY NEW VOTERS TO HIS SIDE IN THE PAST FOUR YEARS
    • THINK ABOUT IT
      Why would anyone look at what he has done and say
      • "You know, last time i voted for McCain, but this time I'm voting for Obama"?

      • 7th
        Almost every poll is skewed towards the democrats in that they oversample the democratic vote.

If you listen carefully to the polls you can hear the herds of unicorns in the distance.

The polling is so anomalous even within a single poll that I'm beginning to wonder if we may see Romney pile up HUGE margins in enough rural states, and Obama win with microscopic majorities in the Ohio's and Wisconsins, that Romney WINS the popular vote, and loses the election.

Yes, I could see that happening.
