Larry Sabato skeptical on today's Quinnipiac polls
He tweets: "Today's Q polls in OH, FL too pro-Obama. Their recent one in VA underestimated Obama vote (b/c of low minority %). What gives?"

1. I think we're seeing the results of Romney's disastrous trip overseas. Imagery is critical, and he

looks like a Bozo.

2. We Ask America also had Obama up at 8-points

Last edited Wed Aug 1, 2012, 12:01 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) they even went back in the field to verify it and it showed no change. I don't think Obama being up 6-8 points in Ohio is out of the question. Clearly, the president has been targeting the state with TV ads and appearances. His attacks on Bain appear to be working.
That said I don't necessarily put it past them to make this survey a tad more democratic in leaning so that their next polling after the GOP convention will be adjusted and suddenly show Romney gaining ground. |

8. Didn't they even say that REPUBLICANS were moving toward President Obama?

Last edited Wed Aug 1, 2012, 01:17 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) That's fairly significant IMHO and it shouldn't be unusual that other polls would reflect that as well.

3. Quinnipiac is out of Connecticut and they have always had good results here.
|
They predicted the Gov race and other races very accurately here in CT. I have never heard of them being a bad poll. Sabato is an idiot. Just accept the fact that Romney is tanking.

4. apparently he doesn't have a problem with the PA poll?

6. Q
|
The pundits don't their polls when they help their memo of close race.
Plus this Is likely voter polls.Remember all this talk Likely voter poll would doom Obama. After some badmouth PPP's polling someone on right will want to use their polls since their likely voter poll has Obama up by 1. And this all shows the bain stradegy has worked. |

5. Is he equally skeptical of polls potentially being "too-pro-Romney"?
|
Last edited Wed Aug 1, 2012, 12:24 PM USA/ET - Edit history (1) Or is he unable to accept the possibilities that Romney is a bad candidate and/or that President Obama's defeat at the polls in November is NOT a foregone conclusion. |
