No worries, a WaPo/ABC poll from today shows the race a dead heat, just like it was before the conventions. - meaning that whatever "bounce" Obama may have gotten from the DNC circus act has fizzled.

Maybe this will stop the silly post-convention panic among Republicans. When the Washington Post/ABC poll tells you there’s been no convention bump for Barack Obama, you can pretty much take that to the bank. Their latest survey shows the likely-voter split in the presidential race right where we found it a fortnight ago, with Obama up one single point over Mitt Romney — in a sample that favors the Democrats:
More alarmingly for the Obamalemmings is a Quinnipiac poll released today showing that Romney is only seven - SEVEN - points behind in New Jersey, a deep deep deep blue state that Oblama carried by almost twice that margin in 2008.
Quote:
President Barack Obama tops Gov. Mitt Romney, his Republican challenger, 51 - 44 percent among New Jersey likely voters, who say the president will do a better job on Medicare and health care while Romney will do a better job on the economy, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today.
Interested observers might want to buy stock in Depends undergarments, because that stock is going to rise this fall as the Democrats increasingly wet their pants and Oblama gets the firing he so richly deserves.
Do you think that their thinking is that more people will continue to stay on obama's bandwagon if they think most other's are? I would be more likely to vote if I thought my candidate was down in the polls. This may backfire for them.
"It was a random accident" doesn't really cover it any more.
Can anybody come up with a poll before an election, in the last thirty years, where the Republican candidate was predicted to have a higher percentage over the Democrat, than he actually wound up getting in the election?
Man, it's beginning to sound like 2008 all over again. Republicans shrieking and whining how the polls are always oversampling Democrats.
Hey genius, have you ever stopped to think that there are simply MORE Democrats in America than Republicans? Also, after the failed 8 years of Dumbya Bush the Village Idiot from Texas, many Republicans are simply calling themselves independents because they don't want to be associated with the GOP brand. Hence, you are always going to find more self-described Democrats in any random population sample of voting adults.
Why do you care what the polls say or do you use the results to make your decision on who to vote for? Every poll is different and changes so they are in essence useless. WHO CARES!?
Virtually every poll shows the same numbers. I'm sorry you are unhappy about those numbers but they've been confirmed over and over and so really are correct. Yes, even if you don't like them.
What is the current breakdown of registered Ds vs. Rs. vs Independents?
Is there a 50/50 split between Ds and Rs?
Shouldn't pollsters try to replicate the known universe when building their samples?
Shouldn't this have been posted in the big poll thread?
