A question for right-wingers about the polls.

That just ignores the point of the thread alltogether, nochain.
If that was the only consideration for right-wingers then sean hannity wouldn't be on his radio show right now talking about how the polls now have romney leading and what good news that is.
But of course he is making no mention of how he blasted the same polls for being biased when they had obama ahead.

But now all the very same polls have romney either pulling even or leading.

So what gives here. If the polls are pro-obama why wouldn't they still be saying obama has the wide lead?
And why are the same right-wingers who were bitching about the polls before, now citing the same polls as proof that romney is leading?

One of the most hypocritical things I've ever heard of.

What it is is this. It's impossible for right-wingers or left-wingers either one to ever say they have ever been even the slightest bit wrong about anything.
Neither have the intestinal fortitude for that. And it's very cowardly.

If the polls were skewed against Romney 2+ weeks ago, they could STILL be skewed against Romney today. Imagine this--Romney actually has a 5+ point lead over Obama today, instead of a 2 point lead or so like the polls are showing.

All well and good, except they're not skewed and never have been. Repukes were having a meltdown claiming that there was an over-representation of Dems in the polls after the DNC, and Obama was polling well ahead. After the debate, the polls have been showing a much larger representation of Repukes, and the polls show a much tighter race. This has nothing to do with skewing. Reputable polling firms do not standardize their polls by party affiliation, because party affiliation is not static, it is fluid. After an exciting DNC, more Dems were enthusiastic to answer polls and self-identify. Conversely, after a strong debate more Repukes were enthusiastic to answer polls and self-identify. The polls are shifting due to enthusiasm, not skewing. The race is extremely close and will likely come down to turnout in the swing states.

One interesting thing is that neither the exciting convention nor the strong debate moved the needle much with undecideds. That is because anyone who has yet to make up their mind has the intellect of a toaster.

Let me bring my intestinal fortitude to bear here. Whether or not President Obama has made mistakes, I believe that he has the best interests of the people at heart. I look at Romney and see a liar. I'm sure it comes as no surprise to anyone that I felt the same about George W. Bush. Liars...who needs them? Meanwhile, someone killed a US ambassador to try and win this election.
