Democracy Corps poll has Romney up 16 points with independents

Democracy Corps – James Carville & Stan Greenberg’s polling outfit – has Romney up 16 points with independents. “If Carville and Greenberg have it right (and many other polls show Romney way up with Indies), it can mean only one thing: Democrats are being oversampled [in most MSM polls], and grossly.” As another bunch of political street circus performers once said, “Hide the decline.”

  • Whatever you think about Carville, he's a no bullsh!t guy, & he might be the smartest guy among lefitst pundits. He may be goofy looking, & he knows how to sling BS with the best of them. But he knows the score, & so does the regime. Obama & the DNC know what their internal polling says, & they are in real trouble.

  • A long time ago I lost what little faith I had in polls. I've been polled once and it was a complete joke. Now I just hang up on them. I hope the polls are proven to be so completely wrong that these guys get shown to be the farce they are....even with the overwhelming ballot box stuffing and voter fraud that is going to go on!

    • I agree with you about the accuracy of polls the way they are taken now. I still answer their questions, though. I answer them in such a convoluted and contradictory way that the results are skewed if my answer are included.

      "Do you agree with policy A?"...NO
      "Do you agree with policy B?"...YES

      "Will you vote for politician A, who supports policy A?"...YES
      "Will you vote for politician B, who supports policy B?"...NO

      "Do you generally support the policies of politician A?"...NO
      "Do you generally support the policies of politician B?"...YES

      • And most polls are carefully worded to get the result the pollster is looking for. They box you into a corner with an a-b only answer, when your real choice would be neither, or something else altogether. As my Dad used to say. Figures don't lie, but liars can figure!
