Oh yeah,
Keep in mind that Silver got 2008 right.
Selecting 50 of 51 States/D. C. only missing Indiana
AND every single Senate race.

I went back through the polls since Romney became the pubs man.
Of the 249 polls
They rated a tie 25 times
Romney polled ahead 43
Obama won 181

Considering that more than 50% of Romney's 43 wins are Rasmussen & Gallup I'm thinking they don't really know how to poll well. We will see I guess.

When the Democrat lapdogs at ABC conduct their "poll" in the DNC lobby it doesn't surprise anyone the Mr. Obabma gets 51% of the vote.

If you read the fine print most of those "polls" are NOT scientific or even properly conducted.

Admitted in their own methodology the Democrat portion of the sample out-weighs the Republican portion by about 5-to-3...and Mr. Obama still barely leads.

Personally, I think it will be close but I can see a LOT more Republicans in Washington next Spring.

How's about showing us that "fine print"?

So are you going to talk about the other 180 polls that Obama shows a lead, or just ABC's.

Most news "polls" are a joke anyway.

FOX spins everything to the Right.

The rest of the alphabet "news" teams root for the Left.

MSNBC is so far to the Left that they could be staffed with former PRAVDA associates.

CNN has for years been referred to as the Communist News Network.

NBC and CBS don't even try to hide their contempt for Conservatives anymore...but since Rush Limbaugh has a larger audience than both of these COMBINED most folks are not aware that the "news" has been replaced with Leftist propaganda.

ABC still pretends to be unbiased but they don't pull it off very well.
They are about as far Left of Center as FOX is to the Right.
Truth is somewhere between them.

Then how about we combine ALL the polls and average them? That would be about as near the truth than just looking at one or a few biased ones, as you are doing, wouldn't it?

RealClearPolitics does this.

Hmmm...take a dozen or so Leftist polls that are grossly skewed.
Average them together.
...and this gets us closer to the truth how?

This is why the Left has walked away from EVERY election cycle for the past two decades screaming that the elections were rigged.
Their "polls" NEVER match the reality of what the people actually want.

Do you have some substance or facts to back up your opinion or just s***'n and expecting us to not know who's causing the stench?
