Are the Polls Really Tightening?

| October 31, 2008

The short answer is no, they are correcting. Stay with me here; there is a difference with a distinction.

This happens every election cycle particularly when the Republican is in the lead. And I do believe that it is an intentional conspiracy to favor the Democrat.

Here’s how it works. Inflate the Democrat numbers by over-sampling, twisting internals or just out right lying. This gives the Democrat the momentum and advantage with bandwagon voters. As the election nears, the polls will tighten slightly and the Democrats will swarm the airwaves to push early voting. When was the last speech you heard from Obama not pressing early voting?

Why does the polls tighten so late? By design silly. Polling in this country is a big money industry so by election day they have to be as accurate as possible to preserve the credibility of the pollsters. Oddly, this practice works every time.

Each polling group brags about how accurate they were in the last cycle but do not publicize how wildly wrong they were just ten days out.

Don’t be distracted by the rhetoric, watch the actions of candidates. At this point, their internal polls dictate evry action.

Today Obama was in Iowa. We’re four days out and he is in a state where he supposedly has a 10 point advantage?

Meanwhile, the McCain camp is carpeting Pennsylvania where they are supposedly down 10 points?

Real Clear Politics has Obama with 311 electoral votes with ZERO toss-up states!

My suggestion. Ignore polls and make sure you vote.

Hell I got an email this morning claiming that New Jersey is in play!
