Take a look at these polls; then a quick question for you…
Rasmussen Reports – Romney = 49% / Obama = 47% (Margin of Error +/- 3.0)
ABC News/Wash Post – Romney = 49 / Obama = 48% (Margin of Error +/- 3.0)
CBS News/NY Times – Romney = 47% / Obama = 48% (Margin of Error +/- 4.5)
Pew Research – Romney = 47% / Obama = 47% (Margin of Error +/- 2.9)
Gallup – Romney = 51% / Obama = 46% (Margin of Error +/- 2.0)
NPR – Romney = 48% / Obama = 47% (Margin of Error +/- 3.1)
IBD/TIPP – Romney = 44% / Obama = 45% (Margin of Error +/- 3.5)
Politico/GWU – Romney = 48% / Obama = 49% (Margin of Error +/- 3.5)
Now, out of these 8 polls, Romney and Obama are “Tied” in one, Romney leads in 4, and Obama leads buy only 1 point in 3.
Question…notice how the 3 Obama lead in have a higher “Margin of Error” than the rest?
The way I look at it; people who think they are/or could be wrong are always leaving themselves more wiggle room for when they are…
If you believe the polls accurately predict the election, why go vote?
People need to think for themselves instead of believing what they see on TV or hear on the radio.
I could not agree more. This would be why I may listen to media reports but unless I am able to check the fact for myself it will go in one ear and out the other.
I have voted for both Democrats and Republicans; this years truly a toss up of who is the lesser of two evils.
The polls this year are all over the place, but O seems to be edging up.

Looks like Obama is pulling ahead in the polls, beyond the margin of error. I think the DNC gave him a nice boost!

Can a bully ever become a trusted President?Mitt Romney wants to be president but admits to bullying a gay teenage student. As the report goes, Romney didn't like the bleach blond hair of the student draped over one eye so he tackled him, pinned him to the ground and cut off his hair as the...

Does Barack Obama hate white people?A lot of people who are suffering from Hurricane Sandy are white people and all Barack Obama did was visit for a photo op and then go back to campaigning. It's been two weeks and a lot of people are still homeless or don't have power.

Lots of people gave me flack for saying the debate was very poorly moderated. I say Candy was very biased, but let's just focus on one example. I want someone who loves Obama to explain why this wasn't an example of bias.You can watch it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q3ujxXuNgGsAn audience...

AP and Gallup both have Obama up by one, Rasmussen has Romney up by two. I think I know why the polls are so tight. Romney's recent "hard line" has gained him more support in red states - but not in swing states. Obama seems to be pulling away in most of the swing states. So while Romney...
