Why do we put more emphasis on Faux Poll over Pew Research Poll?
Actually, of all the polls out there, including Gallup, Zogby, Rasmussen, PEW Research has a better track record, absolutely tries to be unbiased and has good and sound scientific methods. Faux has a terrible record; nonetheless, I see a lot of hand wringing with the Faux Poll. What about Obama's big lead? Why not believe PEW? Everybody seems to have forgotten aout it.

1. CBS's new poll, not yet released goes to 11.

2. "Loser mindset"
Whis is something Democrats have developed - the assumption that they're going to lose, or that, if ahead, something will happen to make them lose. This has been seen in sports for years, but applies just as thoroughly here.

3. Both are wrong this time in my opinion.
But the point is - Faux played their internals to make the race closer than it really is.
