Rush has long said polls that were skewing results earlier in the year would become more accurate the closer to the election we get, primarily because these polling groups care about their credibility as matching up with the actual election results. The problem is that there are still some polls that are using D+7 demos and are thus showing Obama winning Ohio by +5 when most other polls show a dead heat or a slight Romney edge. Thus, Rush is being challenged by listeners who want to know why they would still be skewing the polls.

Rush posits his theory that there may be polling groups that are so far in the tank for Obama that they want to help give credence to the claim of voter suppression in the case of a close election with a Romney victory. Anticipating this, Rush says Obama is working on his ‘invalidate Romney’ lawsuit strategy that will challenge the results of close elections with the claim of voter suppression and will use polling data to amplify those claims. And that’s the reason why, he says, polling groups may still be skewing results in the favor of Democrats this close to the election.

The polls constantly poll more democrats that has been said many times. Polls are just polls. Dick Morris on Fox said that Romney will win by a landslide, I pray he is right and Rush is the man to listen to as well. If Obama wins and I wake up the next day, I hope the Mayan calendar is right and the world will end on Dec. 21st of this year. Depressing, I know, but hopefully Romney will win and then the Mayan calendar I pray is wrong.

AND, Obama never mentions that he is half white. He is still a screw up.

Obama will not win in a fair fight. He and his lying minions have been cheating the system from the beginning. Yes, it may go both ways to a certain extent... but the freakin Democrats have no conscience or morals to get in the way of their cheating ways.

Obama has NOTHING - he's a disgrace, incompetent, lawless, corrupt... and these butt-kissers have been covering for him for years. These scumbags will stop at nothing to win. I pray that God keeps the vote counts reliable and that he spares us from the evil that Obama and his regime truly are.

Here is the secret about the polls that I have yet to hear. After 5 years of every time you criticize this administration being called a racist, you got tired of that poison and no longer admit the truth.

As a result of this 5 years of getting crapped on, I claim that many people when surveyed lie about whom they'll be voting for and are saving the truth for when the curtain is closed and the lever is getting pulled.

But the actual unskewed numbers show Romney ahead in most polls now so I don't see how that would be helpful to the dems in a republican voter suppression lawsuit.

What you're going to be seeing a lot of this election is old line Democrats of the Truman variety making their way towards a sane choice in Mitt Romney. To them Benghazi is just icing on the Obama cake, and they're not having any more of it. It's not going to be close.

I don't know if I buy that but if that is what obama and his lackeys are attempting to do to void the election results, that'a a pretty far stretch. They would have to compile quite a few instances where they can prove voter suppression. I think it's more likely that the polls who are skewing the numbers are not reliable anyway so they have no reputation to lose.

There is no poll skewing - RCP has it +0.2% Romney nationally. In 2008 RCP had it +7.6% for Obama and it ended up +7.3%. The race is tight nationally, but Obama is slightly, some would say statitically tied, in key swing states. That is where the race is, with Sandy freezing much of the national polling.

Vorlath

All polls are skewed. It's a known fact. There are polls out now that are nearly D+20. I've seen two polls with Dems at 45%. So 5% with Indenpendents and Obama wins. But it's a joke poll. Complete garbage. Nothing even remotely close to that happened in 2008. Some of the recent polls are nowhere near the known data on the ground. We know what the early vote returns are per party. With this, those polls are impossible.

sjmom

They also want the base from coming out to vote and if they're discouraged they may stay home.

But since they're told they're winning, they may not bother to go out either.

Win-win for Romney in either case.

I already know the information. I've seen the long list of green crony company failures. That's how I know you don't know what you're talking about.

C. Cargo

No, I'm sorry but I am right. It is not difficult to research, all of the information is available. And Chrysler CEO stated yesterday morning. “We've clearly entered some parallel universe during these last few days. No amount of campaign politics at its cynical worst will diminish our record of creating jobs in the U.S. and repatriating profits back to this country. North American production is critical to achieving our goal of selling 800,000 Jeep vehicles by 2014. In fact, U.S. production of our Jeep models has nearly tripled (it is expected to be up 185%) since 2009 in order to keep up with global demand.

We also are investing to improve and expand our entire U.S. operations, including our Jeep facilities. The numbers tell the story:

We will invest more than $1.7 billion to develop and produce the next generation Jeep SUV, the successor of the Jeep Liberty -- including $500 million directly to tool and expand our Toledo Assembly Complex and will be adding about 1,100 jobs on a second shift by 2013.

At our Jefferson North Assembly Plant, where we build the Jeep Grand Cherokee, we have created 2,000 jobs since June 2009 and have invested more than $1.8 billion.

n In Belvidere, where we build two Jeep models, we have added two shifts since 2009 resulting in an additional 2,600 jobs."

So you see, Romney clearly lied. There are no Chrysler jobs moving from the US to China. None. Regarding health care.

Today, your insurance company:

Can no longer waste your premium on CEO salaries and overhead costs.

Must use at least 80 percent of your premium for health services and improving care.

Has to justify any hikes to your premium before an independent panel—helping keep your rate down.

I can list pages and pages, and you should read them before you condemn something that you know nothing about.

You're insane. Both your numbers and every other word in your post, are lies. Check again dupe. The number is not two, it's closer to thirty.

While you're at it, please list a single thing Obama said about his healthcare plan that was true.

Also:

"In a Bloomberg interview, Jeep's president said the automaker plans to restore Jeep production in China, suspended in 2009, and is considering making all Jeeps in China."

So, you're an ignorant liar. Peddle your BS somewhere else. You wouldn't recognize truth if it were a cinder block that fell on your head.

Spin it any way you want. It is globally accepted that due to the policies that were put into place by the Bush administration, the economy began to turn sour in the early part of the first decade. That is the opinion of every economist out there. You will not find an expert opinion that blames President Obama in any way for the crash. I"m not saying Obama has handled it perfectly, but it wasn't his fault. It was Bush, and everyone understands that basic fact.

C. Cargo
C. Cargo

Of the 67 businesses that the Obama administration has invested government money into, 2 have gone under, the rest are profitable. In the last twenty years, 27% of the businesses that Romney has invested in have gone bankrupt. Numbers don't lie, but Romney does. Jeep is not moving to China.

C. Cargo
C. Cargo

Well, that is just demonstrably not true. When Obama came into office, due to the Bush agenda, America was losing 500,000 jobs a month. Now we are adding jobs. The stock market is better than it has been in years, manufacturing is up, and GM just had its best year in 100 years. So you see, a little math shows you to be wrong.

Why would he do that? To make Obama look good? Obama's stimulus bought solar panels from China and put them on congressional and other government office buildings. His policies and regulations chases jobs overseas. It doesn't get more pro-overseas job than Obama. He flushed 90 billion on green energy boondoggles to his friends and bundlers too.
