The truth about polling. The way they do it, it’s really not that scientific: they basically assume the 9% of people that talk to them represent the population at large. It’s kinda like saying 85% of people who go to a Lady Gaga concert love it, thus 85% of the country will love it. He also predicts roughly how the election will go based on D/R turnout. Rasmussen says the norm is D+2 to D+4 so things look better for Romney than our media enemies will admit:
D+ Obama Romney
D+8 53 45
D+7 52 46
D+6 51 47
D+5 50 48
D+4 49 49
D+3 48 50
D+2 47 51
D+1 46 52
even 45 53
D-1 44 54
