Now even Richard Wolffe talking about the national polls tightening? He added that

[jenmito]

the state polls will probably follow (tighten). Funny-he doesn't talk this way when he's on Keith's show!

[Zynx]

1. What the fuck is he talking about?

RCP has it at Obama +7.1. That's almost no tighter than it has ever been.

[jenmito]

4. They showed the Gallup poll. That's IT. Funny how they didn't show ANY of the ones

showing him WIDENING his lead.

[progressivebydesign]

14. and that Gallup poll is LIKELY, which was not what was peddled before.

He didn't go down, they decided to change how they report it.

[AllieB]

2. He usually doesn't talk that way period.

He usually appears pretty unbiased.

[jenmito]

5. I agree. Maybe he was looking at the debunked AP poll which MSNBC showed all morning.

I didn't like hearing him talk that way. He usually IS unbiased.

[doc03]

8. What is with that AP Poll? I heard the AP Radio News

on XM every 1/2hour the last couple nights citing that poll and saying the race was a statistical dead heat with Obama 44 and McCain at 43. One poll has Obama up 14 points and they have him up 1 and that's the poll they quote. I have said for several weeks now the MSM is going to say the polls are tightening and by election eve they will be too close to call, they do it every election..

[jenmito]

11. The "sample" included 45% Evangelicals!

It's BS.

[doc03]

16. You're kidding, where did they get them in a State

Mental Hospital?

[jenmito]

18. Nope. There was a thread on this yesterday with link included. n/t

[doc03]

19. Thanks I'll look n/t

[WeDidIt]

3. It's the last push horse race meme

Some time next week they'll be in the "can John McCain pull a rabbit out of his hat" meme.

[jenmito]

6. Yeah, but from Richard Wolffe? I didn't expect that from HIM. n/t

[WeDidIt]

7. It's probably being required of him.

He has to say it in order to keep appearing on MSNBC.

[jenmito]

12. I'd HATE that to be true.

If so, that's really bad.

[jedr]

9. If Obama is up by ten, then you don't tune into CNN or Fox;

And listen to the latest slander. Don't trust anything ....just go vote and get everyone else to do the same.

[melody]

10. He may be trying for objectivity by incorporating the AP poll

He's not a statistician ... he didn't look at the data. Anyone who looks at the real data will see that the election
isn't "narrowing".

[jenmito]

13. I HOPE it's honest objectivity. n/t

[melody]

15. I didn't see the spot though -- did he just cite the one poll? n/t

[jenmito]

17. They just showed one model of the Gallup poll.
