I ridiculed the Republicans when They did it in 2012, I'm not going to be whiny little babies like they were.
I think a lot of the Senate races are tight but I'm not going to hold out false hope.
I would love to see Wendy Davis win. I would love to see Grimes win. Maybe turnout will be better for us this year, but I'm not going to scream that the polls are skewed.
Leave that to the party of crybabies.

(58,730 posts)but I'm getting a real 2012 vibe here. I think the voting public is learning to ignore polls and actually vote their own minds, based on their own thoughts and experiences. For much of recent history, polls have had a bit of a predictive nature, where too many people saw the polls and voted along with them, regardless if there was any validity to them.
I'm still hopeful.

(16,399 posts)The aggregate of the polls had Obama winning, despite people panicking after the first debate and the Fox News idiots claiming otherwise.

(58,730 posts)but IAE most of the "vibe" I get is the Republican over-confidence in the inevibility of the outcome being in their favor.
The only poll that matters is the final one on Nov 4.

Some are just from bad pollsters.
