    there is only 1 poll which matters and thus why I've been holding pro-America signs, have had a pro-America bumper sticker on my car since a year ago, my children are all voting pro-America and we've been getting out the word.

    I've already voted early for the pro-America duo of Romney/Ryan so i can continue to hold signs up until the election day.

    Yes it is funny. Why would anyone cling to the polling organization that has the highest accuracy over the last four federal election cycles? Why would one use a polling organization that uses the largest samples? Why would you use an organization that has outspent their two closest rivals researching polling methods and sampling selections? That is just crazy talk! Of course the non-laughable method is to use old polls or the one or two polls that show Obama is winning while ignoring all the rest.

    Rasmussen was one of the worst pollsters in 2008, that's why. They pooched all the state polls badly, usually giving the GOP a +4 bias. Their national poll sucked just as badly until the last few days, when they removed the bias so they could point to the last poll and pretend to be accurate. That tactic fools the rubes, as the righties here demonstrate.

    Being a liberal, it means I reject cherrypicking and look at all the data. So let's do that, and check out the poll aggregators. Ooh, not looking good for Romney at all.
