sorry getbig  

So, what's he viewing that says differently? He's been up 5 in the same poll for about a week.

Rasmussen has Romney up two. And now, he leads the EC count on RCP.

i'm going to guess he knows a little more about polling than mcway from getbig

The question was, what is he viewing that says differently?
 And who is this pollster again?

That is funny many of us have a better track record than some of these hacks

You don't even know who this pollster is, much less if he has such internal polling.
 
Basically, you're just mindlessly parroting something, out of panic, because Romney keeps rolling and Obama is in major trouble.

[Straw Man]

Just a few weeks ago the right wing was screaming that these very same polls weren't accurate

Strange that they haven't brought that up since Romney started improving

Oh really!! What are the two polling agencies that 333386 and I have been citing as, for the most part, accurate: GALLUP and RASMUSSEN.

Even then, we looked at the internals, checked on "likely voters" vs. merely "registered voters", and looked for oversampling.

So, you can cease with that claim of yours, right now.

what part of my claim is not accurate

do you think when I said "right wing" that I was referring to you or 333 ?

The fact is that the right wing was claiming just a few weeks ago that all of the polls showing Mitt Romney  losing were not accurate and now a few weeks later somehow there is no problem with those very same polls now that Romney is ahead

The way the right in the media AND you and  333 are acting we might as well just skip the election and instead just have a poll on November 6th

Hardly!! The left wing has been trying FOR MONTHS (Heck, for nearly a year and a half) to declare this race a done deal from Obama.

Need I remind you of all the events that were supposed to seal it for Obama?

Dog-Gate
Bain-Gate

I'm sure I missed a few; but, you get the point.

Yet, here we are, three weeks out. And Obama is in BIIIIIIIIIIIIIG Trouble.

As for the polls. the right wing, as it were, claimed that polls were oversampling Democrats. What a surprise! THEY WERE DOING JUST THAT, using 2008 models and disregarding the current political demographics of the country and state-by-state.
