(2,940 posts)...he claimed that pollsters were oversampling Democrats, because they were frequently polling more Dems than Repubs. The thing is, particularly in many of the swing states pollsters are hitting most often, there ARE more Dems than Repubs, which is exactly why more were being polled.
Someone correct me if I'm wrong here, though.

(25,415 posts)Which would mean higher then 2004 and 2010, which had Dems and Repubs tied in party ID. His argument is bogus.

(31,706 posts)People shake their heads when you hear the crazy that comes out of the mouths of the great unhinged, but its simple to explain when you live in the bubble of hate radio and faux noise. Talking points move fast and furious (hmmm...good name for a faux scandal, no??) and there's always a Democrat to blame for anything and everything. If a rushpublican looks bad, it's obviously a media plot.
In the world of the unhinged things are soooooooo bad, soooooooo awful that its plain as day that EVERYONE hate President Obama. When you live in a sealed and braindead world everyone says the same crazy as you do and thus one assumes its a majority opinion. So when the facts don't look the way you like, you create "new" facts...move goalposts, parse and lie where applicable.
Cheers...

(99,714 posts)Right wing people usually only talk to and listen to other right wing people and consequently think everybody thinks like them. That's why Rush speaks to jammed stadiums. He hollers their own views right back at them. The left does the same thing.
I was fortunate to grow up in red area so I know there are a lot of people who don't think like me and therefore I'm not shocked when certain political events unfold.
