This Gravis Marketing Clown Is A Real Piece Of Work

He puts out a bunch of Republican leaning polls in the swing states and then puts out a poll for Washington that shows the president with a huge lead. Of course Washington isn't a swing state and has never been seriously contested by Romney.

Everybody knows WA isn't a swing state...So he can perform a honest poll...

If you look at his swing state polls he's showing an essentially deadlocked race.

I used to live in Orlando. His office is in Winter Springs...Winter Springs is a small suburb in the northeast corner of Seminole County. I imagine his office might be four hundred square feet or so...

How you can you have a truly random sample which is the sine qua non for a poll when you exclude thirty percent of the population?

That pollster also has Ohio as a statistical dead heat.



He better call the Rmoney campaign, they pulled future ad buys in Ohio,and have all but ceded the state as lost.

I guess we're all idiots here.

"But at any rate, this type of poll doesn’t include the top, live-interview pollsters—it’s second-tier stuff, like Gravis Marketing, who actually says that its poll is weighted to the “anticipated voting proportions for the 2012 General Election.”

that request a download? Is it to screw with peoples computer, I wouldn't click on that link if my life
depends on it, especially one where the fucka has shown dishonesty in posting accurate polls.

That link is showing a duplicate, republicans are desperate to screw people up.
