Scott Walker has figured it out. Romney's polling sucks because Republicans don't talk to pollsters.

Scott Walker: Conservatives Are Reluctant To Talk To Pollsters
Tom Kludt 4:44 PM EDT, Wednesday September 26, 2012

Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker (R) on Wednesday joined the chorus of Republicans pushing back against the slew of polls showing President Barack Obama expanding his lead in various swing states.

Asserting that the race is still "incredibly tight" in states such as Ohio, Walker told Fox's Neil Cavuto that the recent surveys may be undersampling Romney voters because Republicans are often reticent when approached by pollsters, pointing to exit polls that incorrectly suggested he would face a tight recall fight in June. Walker ended up winning the recall election over Milwaukee Mayor Tom Barrett by a comfortable margin.

"Particularly in the exit polls, and sometimes people who tend to be a little bit more right-of-center, conservative voters are reluctant to talk to the media, period," Walker said. "And so they under-represent the sample."

3. That's not a new claim, remember

how the M$M and the ReThuglicans used that to "explain" the conspicuous gap
between exit polls and the "official results" in 2004, esp. in swing states?

4. Good point

Perhaps putting out the excuses now for their election theft efforts.

12. Exactly.. they must "set the stage" for a modicum of plausibility

which they'll never convince ME of, but still, that's the drill apparently.

5. Well, he does have a point regarding the polls for his recall. I'm still stunned

by the results!

6. "Incredibly tight" in Ohio???

A HAHAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAA...... gasp....wheeze.......HAHAHAHAAAAHAHAHHAHAAA!!!!!

Ryan actually thinks that he can speak things into reality.

Holy crap these guys think that just because they can fool a few idiots in one state that they can bullshit an entire nation.

9. Funny

Funny how the exit polls seem to ALWAYS show a higher democratic percentage. When has the exit polls ever shown higher Republican percentage of the vote and the democrat won by comfortable lead. Its tnot the exit polls that "incorrectly suggested he would face a tight recall," it was the voting machines that incorrectly tabulated votes leading to the fixed results.

A democrat has to actually win by 5% of the vote just to win by 2%. The sad part is that seems to be common knowledge and just accepted; "__ ___ needs a big enough lead so they can't steal it." Well when are they going to deal with Diebold. Geez, this should have been dealt with in 2008.

11. The Final RCP Average Showed Walker Beating Barrett by 6.6%

He ended up winning by 6.7%


I would call the polls darn accurate.
