I'm also wondering what the pollsters will do when they're proven wrong. They're scientific and all that. Cell phones, likely voters, people who refuse to answer-- they've got it all figured out.

There is a coming disaster for the polling industry at large.; १४/९/१२, ९:०० AM

I'm running into the same thing with my - admittedly small - group of liberal friends/relatives. Of course some of them are now against him because he isn't liberal ENOUGH, but I'll take that as long as they either don't vote for him or just don't vote.; १४/९/१२, ९:०० AM

Gallup looks at registered voters. Rasmussen looks at likely voters.

Gallup reports on a 7-day rolling average. Rasmussen is averaging the last 3 days.

Scott म्हणाले...: The race is pretty much a dead heat. The winner will be the one who can get their voters to the polls in swing states like Ohio and Florida.

What really could swing the election is the Fed's quantitative easing, round 3 (or QE3). The short-term effect of that will be to drive money into the stock market, as people look for an inflation hedge for their savings. The rise in stock prices (but not stock values) will cause people to have a warmer, somewhat more fuzzy feeling about the gumment ("Gee honey, maybe I can retire after all!"), which will work in favor of Obama's reelection.

Make no mistake about it: Announcing QE3 now is blatantly political. You probably can't PROVE that Bernanke is violating the Hatch Act, but geez, put two and two together. If by God's grace Romney is elected, firing Bernanke ought to be near the top of Romney's first-day list.; १४/९/१२, ९:१२ AM

Somebody's mad that people who think alike comment on a blog... like that's some weird occurrence that needs constant noting.

Rage..RAGE...against it, shiloh..you truly are doing the most important work for a ProgLib: pointing at others and judging them, offering nothing in exchange.

Bottom line is, your answer to "Barack Obama" is MORE "Barack Obama".

harrogate म्हणाले...: "Desperation" is not the word I would use either to describe the predictions and sensibilities of the blog and its majority commenters, or the dissenters.

More like a combination of being hopeful, deeply despising the "other guy/other party," and most impiortantly, operating in a bubble. Certainly the many moments when commenters begin prattling about how Romney is going to "bring back '84" exemplifes the bubble effect.

The truth is it's a deeply divided country both in erms of sensibilities and ideology (most often the divisions involves far more than two "halves" of positions, of course). Such scorn the "sides" feel for one another. That's what bodes worst of all. It's also what's most responsible for the downgrades, btw.; १४/९/१२, ९:१७ AM

In fact, most people recognize that he's a moderate, wishy-washy RINO who will do the best he can with Congress. Most of the really vicious lashing out is done at people like Ritmo, Andy and Shiloh who, let's be honest, have done nothing to create a constructive dialog.; १४/९/१२, ९:१८ AM
Tom Spaulding म्हणाले...: O-BA-MA!

Oil: The price of oil broke above $100 a barrel on Friday for the first time since early May after the U.S. Federal Reserve announced a plan to jolt the U.S. economy and unrest in the Middle East heightened supply concerns.

Consumer Prices: More expensive gas drove up consumer prices in August by the most in three years. But outside energy, inflation was tame.

The Labor Department said Friday that consumer prices rose a seasonally adjusted 0.6 percent last month, the first increase since March. Higher gas prices accounted for 80 percent of the increase. Food prices rose 0.2 percent.

Industrial Production: U.S. industrial production fell in August by the largest amount in more than three years as factories produced fewer cars and other manufactured goods.; १४/९/१२, ९:१९ AM
Shouting Thomas म्हणाले...: America is not a deeply divided country.

No matter how it seems to you at this moment, the differences between the Republicans and Democrats are mostly superficial.

My life is going to change very little as a result of the outcome of this election.

Paulio म्हणाले...: I couldn't tell which comment of shiloh's Althouse was claiming was desperate. I thought he was just accusing Rasmussen of massaging their data (something althouse also seems to suggest is a possibility, though maybe not a likely one). It certainly seems a reasonable hypothesis, that is, one that should be considered, if you look at the the realclearpolitics collection of polls, which includes many with likely voter screens and many that have been "right leaning" in this round and in previous elections.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2012/president/us/general_election_romney_vs_obama-1171.html

I agree that Rasmussen tends to get the final answer correct, but in 2008 that was in part because of a late shift towards the mean. He was consistently +3-4 McCain vs. the average up until the end.

So either Rasmussen is an outlier--for whatever reason--or every other pollster is wrong.

To me, I think the biggest problem is that Rasmussen has the "swingiest" effects. If you try and estimate what any individual night of polling must have been (which isn't too hard), you can see that he gets +6 or more swings from day to day to move the numbers as quickly as he does. The current runup of Romney has that flavor. It's possible it will be maintained (he can keep getting high numbers) but my guess is that in a day or two a single outlier +high Romney number will fall out and it will come back down.; १४/९/१२, ९:२३ AM

Either way, its like the dorky kid who gets to be the basketball manager in high school.; १४/९/१२, ९:२६ AM

harrogate म्हणाले...: Matthew,

I see lots of predictions by more than a few commenters on this blog that Romney is going to win in a "blowout" of some kind; that's what I meant by invoking '84. It had very little to do with comparing Romney to Reagan.

Although, it is also true that Ann and her merry commenters do seem to fall more and more into "Romney is such a great guy teeming integrity" mode with each passing day--defaulting, that is, more and more into the kind of rhetoric you see cons use to iconicize Reagan.

But, fwiw, I care a lot more about the "scorn" element that I referred to, than the lunacy of believing that this Presidential election even has a chance of ending in a blowout. It's a small handful of states hey're fighting for like mad. The popular count too will be close.

Ann and her merry commenters like to make fun of the notion of civility in the political discourse, and to a point, I actually do agree it is "bullshit." After all, you can't say "Ann and her merry commenters" without harboring more than a little scorn yourself, now can you?

But the ways in which we see that scorn elevate to the point that the parties and the people themselves regard one another as true enemies, bodes unwell indeed.; १४/९/१२, ९:३० AM

Bruce Hayden म्हणाले...: As others have pointed out, there are a lot of things going on that affect the numbers. Time span. Registered vs Likely voters. Weighting of D's, I's and R's. Throughout the summer, much of the difference between these two pollsters may be able to be attributed to the latter, with Gallup tending to weight their polls towards Democrats, based on 2008 exit polling. Always suspect when you see I's and R's strongly for Romney, and yet the poll comes out in favor of Obama, despite R's overtaking D's in registrations (and, yes, in being likely voters).

I don't think that we really know, at least directly, what the actual numbers are right now, and what is being manipulated for our benefit. But, I am pretty sure that the two campaigns do know, and you can maybe get a feel for the actual numbers by watching where they are putting their money, and where they are writing off states.; १४/९/१२, ९:३५ AM

"I agree that Rasmussen tends to get the final answer correct, but in 2008 that was in part because of a late shift towards the mean. He was consistently +3-4 McCain vs. the average up until the end. "
___________

THis is a false statement. Rasmussen showed a +1 Obama race up to the democrat convention in 2008, where Obama got a bumpt to +5. Then Rasmussen showed a McCain bounce after the Republican convention. MCCain was about +2-3 for a week. The race then settled back to even until the Lehman collapse and subsequent market meltdown occurred starting in late september. Then Obama rose to a +5-8 advantage consistently up until the election.

The Gallup poll still shows a large Obama bounce because 1) it is a registered voter poll, and 2) it is a 7 day poll. Thus it still includes polling from the Thursday of the Democratic convention plus the few days after the convention. I bet the Gallup poll settles back to an Obama +1-2 advantage for registered voters by the end of next week.; १४/९/१२, १०:०९ AM

Sloanasaurus म्हणाले...: The middle east situation will be very bad for OBama, and he knows it. The MSM spin has been up, until a few days ago, that Obama is strong on foreign policy - mainly because he was victorious in Libya, and because of Bin Ladin (which Obama's boasting about is partly responsible for the now igniting flame in the middle east).

No matter how the MSM tries to spin this, the pictures of arabs shouting down the U.S. and burning our flag contradicts Obama's entire foreign policy goal that he alone would make them like us better. Obama's middle east policy is a total faiulre and we are going to suffer for it with a Nuclear Iran, an Egypt controlled by Islamic Fascists, and the rest of the middle east bowing to those two powers before us.

Moreover, to get to that point, we abandonded our one ally in the region - Israel, and have pissed off all of Eastern Europe in the process. Russia thinks we are big wussies also. (that reset button).; १४/९/१२, १०:१७ AM

It's a mystery as to why there are bounces from conventions. Perhaps people get exicted about speeches, especially speeches from liberals who promise all kinds of goodies, but then reality takes over after a short while. And the reality for Obama is pretty bad. Its even worse this week after his mid-east policy failed miserably.

Maybe Obama will get a lift from QE3... but I think ROmney can just use QE3 as more evidence that Obama has been a failure. Why would we need to print fake money if the economy was not a disaster.; १४/९/१२, ११:०० AM

It's a mystery as to why there are bounces from conventions.

Until last time, conventions weren't done one after the other around Labor Day.

One party would have theirs in mid-July, the other in mid-August - which gave time for each side to have its voice heard.

The way it is now, the last to hold their convention may get a short-lived bounce.

And he was a Bill Buckley fan at 7 and voted at age 11."

Now I know why edutcher is a Romney/Ryan fan as all (3) just make shit up!

In my best con lemming voice, prove it edutcher or shut the fuck up! Heck Althouse can help you do the futile blog research. :)

Indeed, the great thing about not lying is one doesn't need a good memory.

Whereas Willard/Ryan's lies are all on videotape!; १४/९/१२, ३:२५ PM

"Mittens! LOL"

I mean, when even the usually neutral (in regards to comments) hostess is making fun of you you have to realize you've failed.; १४/९/१२, ७:५८ PM

Her attempt was noteworthy. Much like die hard cons make fun of Althouse re: her supposed cruel neutrality. ok, cons make fun of her re: many issues.

Surely she takes it all in stride, much like I do. Again, this is just one of several political blogs on the net. No need for any rational person to get upset unless they are obsessed w/politics ie obsessed w/their Obama hatred, etc.; १४/९/१२, ८:१७ PM
Brent म्हणाले...: shiloh,

please take a minute from your jerking off to your Obama poster and lean something.

Hands down, since 2000, every polled election, the overwhelmingly most accurate - not perfect, but the overall most accurate - poll is Rasmussen.
Start with looking it up at Wikipedia.

HEY! I'm talking to YOU shiloh - get that dildo with Obama's name on it out of your asshole right now! Pay attention!

Your masters that tell you what to think at Talking points Memo agree that Rasmussen is the most accurate. Your fellow Obama dick suckers at Salon agree.

There will always be noise about Rasmussen leaning Republican, becausa you and your Obama ho's can't take the truth. But it's the end result that matters.

Be sure post hear on the day after the election shiloh, and try to keep your Obama cum juices away from the keypad. Mixed with your tears, that will be some really sticky stuff you'll have to deal with.

Everyone, I just completely spanked the troll, so you don't have to. No need to be discouraged. The truth won again. See you on the other side of Nov 6., with President-elect Romney!; १५/९/१२, ३:५० PM
