National Tracking Poll Thread

[Badger]

What states does Rasmussen consider 'swing' states?

The states collectively hold 146 Electoral College votes and include Colorado, Florida, Iowa, Michigan, Nevada, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsin

Since Obama leads in all these states, Scott proves once again he's a troll.

Romney leads in NC. CO, WI, NV, VA, OH, FL are tied. Ok for the rest.

Huh?

I echo the calls we should all take a deep breath.  These polls today have by no means sealed the deal for Obama, in fact, we know absolutely nothing more today than we did yesterday, and we knew nothing more yesterday than we did Monday.  The only thing more we know today is we have 13 days left instead of the 14 we had yesterday and the 15 we had Monday.  In fact, with it being after 6:00 on the East Coast, we're rapidly knocking it down to 12 days.

Good point. And then on Friday we'll be down to...11 days I think? How many will we have on Saturday?

Problem is, the state polls are showing no movement toward Romney. At this point, the national polls are more or less useless, because Romney is likely over performing in places where he doesn't need to over perform, therefore producing a national lead.

Not if you decide to ignore a bunch of them, no.

Of the state polls on the front page here, the only ones that are good news for Romney are one Uni poll, one no-name poll, three Rassies, and one from the spectacularly brilliant firm Foster McCollum White Baydoun.

So you just ignored 6 polls. Kudos.

Considering their source, can you offer any specific reason not to ignore them (or at least take them with a rock of salt)?

Several of them are from good pollsters and the MOE's overlap. 

Which ones are "good" JJ? Rasmussen, the uni poll, or the no names including one claiming MI---FREAKIN' MI--is tied?

I'm talking about Ohio. 

Fine. Same question--regarding Ohio.

PPP is back to a 48-48 tie.

Romney continues to dominate among whites!

and I know how thrilled you are about that.

Racial solidarity is very important to you, isn't it Krazen?

Rasmussen, Suffolk and Angus Reid; none of those are no name, though Suffolk is a Uni poll.  We also have a PPP at +1 Obama.  We have some that are not, CNN/Time, Quinnipiac.  And we have Pharos, that from what I can find is a business research firm. 

Of which, only the first three even show Romney tied.

So again, are you sticking by the uni pollster being reliable, Rassy, or Angus whatsis?

No, but winning the election is. The polls show that the path of victory leans toward rallying white males who favor God, guns, proper marriage, and football.

Oh bull$%#t. Your recent comments elsewhere regarding "the war on whites" makes your racism not even latent.

Yet again, another poster who can't distinguish the VERY wide difference between "principled conservative" and "racist ass".

Now its racist to vote against barack obama? You're a funny guy! By the way, recent polls show white males going for Romney by 30 points.

In what alternate universe did I say anything remotely like that? You're a delusional guy!

It's your unapologetic glee over whites voting as a block and, more importantly, your victim complex 'war on whites' that lets your sheet show.
