Which poll was that exactly?
The poll of polls is something like 8%+ Obama and that spread is greater than the MOE and the total of undecideds.

Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 11:46 AM by S_E_Fudd
What a shock...ignore the three others that show no movement to McCain at all...

12. They are citing ONE day in a three day tracking poll for Zogby
Zogby has Obama up 49-44%, of which one day was 49-46%, McCain's best performance EVAH.

:rofl:

It's a farce. The Zogby results are an outlier as they stand, never mind the one day in the life of the poll. And Obama is still winning even in that. They're trying to demoralize you, and this is the best they can do...

18. Operation Too Close To Call is officially up and running
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 11:54 AM by rocknation
The mission is to get Obama's margin of victory into stealing range while keeping the public tuned to the MSM.

This is going to be a very long week.

23. This was an Ohio poll, which I just edited in. NOT a national poll
CNN poll of polls:

New Hampshire and Iowa are strongly Obama

Georgia is within MOE
Missouri is tied

19. Its all about ratings baby...
The MSM is trying to generate a horse race to build an audience for their election night programming. There's not an honest national newscaster left on the air.

32. When I posted this...
The original post did not indicate this was about Ohio - it implied it was a national report. Sorry for any confusion.

22. I recommend a listen to one of this week's Democracy Now episodes with the guy from 538.
Edited on Sun Oct-26-08 11:51 AM by izzybeans
http://www.fivethirtyeight.com/ and http://www.democracynow.org

Nate Silver explained the polling process better than anyone outside of sampling distribution lecture in a stats class.

His ratings of the networks polling organization are very low.
