Totally forgot. Examiner.com. I suppose these polls don't count right SF? Wasn't it just a few days ago you and your left leaning companions screaming victory in the streets, and claiming only the right discredits polls if Romney isn't winning. Well, there are 16 of them, right there, check them one by one if you want (I'm sure you have, looking for a discrepancy so you can claim its content is not legit). Like I said, should be an close race. We'll see who's point of view the country agrees with, but its not looking good for you my man. Maybe the country is all of a sudden just too dumb to see the truth now that Romney leads? Or maybe you are just that much smarter then everyone else. Coming down to the wire.
No, I haven't. Why would I need to? There's lots of sources where I can get accurate information....some dude who spends his time wondering on the internet how to prove Obama is a secret muslim is not one of them.
RCP tracker actually shows a dead even national tie with Romney and Obama, down from a 1.3% Romney lead---you can aggregate all the polls on your side, but you tend to forget those on the other. RCP Average 10/7 - 10/14 -- -- 47.3 47.3 Tie Of course, since the swing state polls still flash in Obama's favor, that, as Nate Silver puts it well, still gives the president a 60% chance of winning this thing.
No, they suddenly do matter. Up until recently the polls were biased by MSM. But now they are accurate reflections of the voting public.
It is not clear to me that these polls are any less biased towards Obama than they were before, with Democratic oversampling ranging from 4% to 17%. Has that been corrected, or are these new polls showing Romney in the lead even with the strong oversampling of Democrats?
None of this "my team is winning, nananan" really matters. Polls matter. The polls tell me a couple a things. 1) The independents are still undecided. 2) Very few are enthusiastic about Romeny (conservative base). With it the polls being pretty even, this tells me that the independents are less enthusiastic with Obama. 3) Providing neither bomb in the next two debates, it will all come down to the small handful of swing states. Its guaranteed both sides will do everything in their power to play dirty.
Which is why we need to go to a popular vote. It is ridiculous that people votes in states like Texas don't matter.
Ive pondered that idea myself. In theory, it would make sense that if the majority of the country wanted candidate A, that that would be the logical choice. City dwellers would ultimately decide every election though.
Absolutely true. The electoral college was invented pre-car, pre-radio, pre-TV, pre-internet with the idea that not everyone would get to hear the messages of the candidates. It was also developed when people believed that national campaigns were impossible, and that politicians shouldn't take the time away from their duties anyway. Some of the Founding Fathers (principally Hamilton) felt that direct voting left voters too prone to manipulation, and that electors provided a stop-gap between the voters and the actual elected representatives. It also allowed small states to have more power in elections. The electoral college was supposed to smooth over these issues. Now, it's just a fossilized institution that's designed to solve problems that no longer exist - and because of that, it's become a problem itself. Unfortunately, only a constitutional amendment can get rid of it.
There was a time I disagreed with the popular vote in favor of the electoral college, but I firmly agree we need to go with a popular vote. I don't think i'll be voting this year simply because I am in a heavily favored red state.
I disagree with this statement. Urban environments tend to heavily favor democrats, regardless of state. Its states with huge rural areas that tend to vote red.
