I want to see Romney win, however I'll say again that to me the polls aren't accurate.
It could very possibly well wind up that either one can win in a landslide for all we know, that's how much I don't believe the polls of what they say now as the election day votes will be the ultimate poll.
I still don't believe the polls. Despite the polls showing Romney ahead, the margin is greater, as there is a democratic/liberal bias in the polls. We have gone over this before-
polling registered vs likely voters
polling with the same demographic as 2008
phone polls- clear minds have caller ID or no land line
small sample numbers
previous elections showing clear +2-+3 over prediction of democratic results
polls coming closer to "real numbers" as the election nears in an effort to appear relevant next time
When small sample numbers, the poll's margin of error is larger(to reflect the small sample). When the poll is with larger sample size, the poll's margin of error is smaller.
PEW research organization gives the polling edge to Romney regarding land line polls versus cell phone polls. If more cell phones were polled, Obama's numbers would increase. This is mainly because the younger folks have cell phones and Obama leads in all categories of younger folks. Older folks are more likely to have land lines and that is where Romney is ahead.
When there is an average of several polls it makes the numbers more accurate versus counting on results from only 1 poll, per PEW research group. Part of this is because the sample size is larger (larger the sample size, smaller the margin of error)
So now the polls are legitimate? That's good to know.

The earlier polls were based on Obama vs. Obama's caricature of Romney.
The polls after the debate are based on Obama vs. Romney.
Obama spent so many millions of dollars trying to convince voters of his lies, that he apparently thought he could brainwash Romney into believing them too, and that he would show up at the debate as some kind of sycophant like the rest of his followers. That plan failed and Obama had to debate the real Romney, not the one who was a figment of the imagination.

God this is so depressing. I don't think either Obama and Mitt Iwould be) are horrible presidents, but I don't think either should be President! What we need now is TRUE leader, and while I like Obama, he hasn't shown to much of one and I really don't think Romney is one either.
