Yes, Pew Research notes in their poll report (near the back, no surprise) that they asked 46% more Democrats than Republicans, who they would vote for.

Did Obama come out 46% ahead?

Ummm, try 8%.

Is there any limit to how far these people will skew their samples of the American electorate, in their desperate desire to pretend more people would vote for Obama than for Romney in November?

Peeeewww!

You do know that pollsters adjust for this kind of thing, right?

What page of your linked document and what paragraph are you finding what you're claiming about Pew Research sampled 46% more Democrats than Republicans? I'm not finding it.

No mention of any such adjustment was made in the poll.

Nice try.

Look, most polls are close. Even Gallop has them tied. If they show close or tied, the way they do these polls, it means Barack is still in trouble.

If the news on the terrorist attack and Fast/Furious keep up, it is only going to hurt Barack even further. And we all know the economy isnt going to turn around in the next two months, which will weigh heavily on minds of real voters. The press/liberals want desperately to make us think Romney is out of it, but in all reality, he is very much alive.

Barack will need the dumbest among us to show up to vote to have a chance. Let's hope they stay home too busy watching the Karsashians or reading TMZ.

Pew called me a couple of days ago. They asked the following:

1. How many voting adults in the household?

2. Are any of them hispanic?

When I said, "no," to #2, they thanked me and hung up. Damn, damn, damn how I wish I had said 'yes', just to see what followed.

All I know and I don't need a poll to tell me is, Obamas is whuppin ole Mitt's azz. I, predicting the biggest landslide we have ever seen. Can you even imagine what the debates are going to be like. They might as well put Mitt on a stool in the corner with a dunce hat on as he gets schooled in the subject of reality by the president.

Uh, hate to tell you this, but Romney is Obama are tied per Gallop. If Gallop has them even, your savior is in trouble.

I don't know why the obama supporters want to skew the polls. You would think that it would get them fired up to make sure that they are going to go vote. God could tell me that obama is definitely going to win and I would still go out and vote for Romney, because that is what I believe in. Do obama supporters have to know that most people are going to vote for obama in order to do it themselves?

Yeah, okay!

Page 34:


Unweighted sample size

Total 3,019
Registered voters 2,424
Likely voters 2,192

Among registered voters
Republican voters 717
Democratic voters 869
Independent voters 757

Obama supporters 1,188
Romney supporters 1,062

Form 1 voters 1,161
Form 2 voters 1,263

It makes me wonder if your understanding of "46%" is indicative of your overall ability to understand information. Or you are so blinded by your partisan hatred that you are a.) unable to read, b.) unwilling to assimilate information that does not conform to your preconceived biases, or d.) willing to spew all kinds of baseless nonsense in order to further your agenda?
