Rasmussen definitely playing a game...probably "Major shift to Mitt after speech"

[GordonGecko]

General Election: Romney vs. Obama
Rasmussen Reports

Obama 47, Romney 45

Obama +2



"Finds" a lot of good Obama poling and either

A. Slowly eats away at it over the Convention to show "the public is turning to Republicans"

or B. Give Mitt a big "post-speech bump" (+4,+5,+6) and note a "major swing from just the beginning of the week".

or Both....and then RUN to Drudge, AM Radio, and Fox to breathlessly report the good news.

Yep, it'll be Willard +4 the very next day.. a SIX POINT convention bump!!

That's my thinking. Scotty building a "narrative" for his pals in Rightwing Media for Friday. "Romney's speech saw a MASSIVE six-seven-eight point shift away from Obama according to my polls at the beginning of the week"....

and as soon as Rush, Drudge, and Fox report it....we'll get it regurgitated here.

You guys just can't admit it, Obama stinks.

ORR, you guys can't admit....Rightwing Media can manipulate you.

 

[GordonGecko]

BTW, even more suspicious?

As Right-mussen has the President up by +2.....Gallup and ABC have Romney up by +1.

How does the Right's favorite pollster get so "out of sync" with other polls????

 

[PhilFish]

you fellers must be on to something... flush out this chicanery, I says..

when you're done here...there appears to me to be a lot of these types of incongrous "changes" in polling numbers...

here are a few more > http://pollingreport.com/wh12gen.htm < for you sleuths to beat down. (naturally, they must all be wrong..er, playing 'games' and what have you...too.)

 

[GordonGecko]

Phil, RIGHT BEFORE the GOP Convention.....the guy who always is go the "go-to guy" for the Right for polling....

has the President up by 2-3 points?

What do you want to bet Razzy has some "massive shift" poll WAY out of line with other pollsters come Friday morning?

And further bet it's a LEAD HEADLINE on Drudge....therefore automatically in the "first hour monologue" of Rush, Hannity...and all the talk on Fox that night???

 

[PhilFish]

i say...big f'in deal. as if, what, MSNBC et al dont turn every flea fart on the right into a trope and run with it?

normal folk dont follow rush, hannity etc...you seem engrossed by their goings on... so I says.....enjoy!

 

[GordonGecko]

normal folk dont follow rush, hannity etc...

Phil, I dare you to Top Post that.

It more like the other way around with the left and the MSM. The left takes everything they say as gospel.
