The tides continue to move in Obama's direction with another swing state turning from toss up to leans Obama. Obama now has 269 of the 270 electoral voted needed.

Hate to rain on your dreamland parade, but neither of the candidates has any of the needed electoral votes needed.

As much as you wish otherwise, they do not get them until after The people have actually voted. They are not awarded because some stupid poll says so.

Think about it.

So? Are the political scientists? Statisticians? etc.? No.

What people "believe" has nothing to do with facts and the fact is that there is no evidence to believe any bias at all.

Yes, It's well known that the right wing cry-babies are throwing a pissy fit and claiming every single pollster is a liberal conspirator.

The hard right fox news and rasmussen have Obama up, are they liberal conspirators as well?

We Ask America 10/2, Nevada: Obama +11. Sounds pretty "leans Obama" to me. Adjusting the map, Obama gets 275 and GAME OVER!

It should change as I believe it turns to "lean" with +5 or higher in the polls, Obama is 5.2 in Nevada

Would that also apply to these "polls" that many chose to believe but they choose to use as evidence?

You can't have it both ways you know.
