Obama's lead slips to 3 points | Politics | Reuters

I noticed the threads on the poll figures had dropped substantially in the last 2 days, so I thought an update should be posted.

Zogby is an awful pollster...the rest have shown Obama #s staying steady or upticking slightly back.

Some are going up, some are going down.

I think the pollsters are playing with the demographics. Obviously, they are having a difficult time.

Some are swinging a lot. HL has gone from 8 to 10 to 7 in three days. The battleground Poll below - from 13 to 4 in 4 days. Even Gallup, the LV Expanded model has been fluctuating. All that tells me they're messing with the party ID and possible othe demographics as well. Even when they mess with gender, it can make a big difference. I saw one poll 54-46 Female/Male split. That's just not a valid number.

Did you hear this bots? Time to get cracking at donating more, canvassing or participating in a calling party to swing states if you are not in one already! (moveon.org sponsors some of these)

Probably because of his mockings..


YouTube - Obama Mocks Joe the Plumber, Crowd Laughs


YouTube - Obama Mocks America's Christian Heritage


YouTube - Obama Mocks McCain's Version Of Change

I don't believe in polls though.

When you can show me a closing of the gap in any of the following states call me:

Florida,

Virginia

Colorado
or
New Mexico

The blue states haven't budged in a month, and I will give you Ohio with a bow on top.
