IBD/TIPP 2012 Presidential Election Romney +1.2

[ProSense]

12. Wingnut polling.

The week has seen a bombardment of polling from right leaning organizations, which have skewed the poll averages.

I mean, most of the Rasmussen polls show Obama regaining or gaining ground. When Rasmussen is among the most reliable, that's a clue.

It's not to say that all the other right leaning polls are off, but some of them are in line with what they have always shown, small leads for Obama or Romney slightly ahead. The problem is that a poll showing a one-point lead for Obama as a trend is going to drop the average if several such polls come out at once.

Still, some of the polls dragging down the margins are downright unreliable, including Gravis.

Having said that, things returning to normal.
