And if you throw out Rasmussen, it's 303-235 Obama.

I'm just sayin' too.   :wink:





After the 2010 elections, the New York Times statistics wizard, Nate Silver, analyzed the polls produced by various polling organizations, including Rasmussen Reports, which is the house pollster for Fox News. Silver's analysis covered only polls taken during the final three weeks of the campaign and compared them to the actual election results. For polls taken much earlier, say in June, no one knows what the true sentiment of the electorate was, so there is no way to tell if the polls were accurate or not. Also, any pollster deliberately falsifying the results for partisan advantage would be advised to reduce the bias as the election neared. After all, no one can tell if a June poll is accurate but everyone can tell if a poll released the day before the election is accurate.

Silver analyzed 105 polls released by Rasmussen Reports and its subsidiary, Pulse Opinion Research, for Senate and gubernatorial races in numerous states across the country. The bottom line is that on average, Rasmussen's polls were off by 5.8% with a bias of 3.9% in favor of the Republican candidates.

That right there is further evidence that Fox News does a better job of telling its viewers what they want to hear, rather than conveying accurate news.

  Just sayin, what you going to do with yourself when Obama wins.  You going to leave the country.   :biggrin:

  What is the Troll going to do if Romney wins.  Take my money out of the stock market and clean my guns for the riots that are coming from the starving hordes of starving Republicans.  Who will have to take off their dress pants and white shirts and go stealing to find food. :pray:  :biggrin:  That's the only way they know how to eat is to take other people's money and food.   :yes:

                                                           Just remember if you want a break and a chance to survive  ----------> :zoners:

Indeed we will.  I'm just wondering how much faith to put into a polling organization whose results show the exact opposite of every other poll taken in Ohio.

As a side note, it'll be interesting to see what our new October surprise (Sandy) does to the campaigns in the coming few days.

  What you just said in you post, is just as true as Mitt's latest political ad in Ohio.  Mitt is now saying that Obama, Chrysler and Jeep :bike: are planning to close down Jeep in Ohio and move it lock stock and barrel to China.   :yes: :rant:   How in hell can you assholes lie the way you do.  Anybody that would put Romney in the White House is Bat Shit Crazy.   :thubb:

  I never have seen liars that have come out of the woodwork like these lying sons of bitches Republicans.   :yes:  I think the word Mitting and Mitten should be used instead of lying and lair.   :yes: :rant:

History dictates that the Panthers 21-13 victory over the Washington Redskins at FedEx Field bodes well for Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney. In the 18 presidential elections that have taken place since the Redskins moved to Washington in 1937, 17 have been predicted by the team's performance in its final home game prior to the election.

Looks like it is all over for obama... :yes:

First it's Rasmussen, and now it's an NFL game result. Voodoo politics . . . classic!  :rolleyes:

I'm not too worried about the election going the right way, but I did read one time about the Redskins game on the Sunday before Election Day portending the results.   :spooked:  ;D
