Main Polls Overinflate Obama Lead

Are polls inaccurate? Of course. Are they purposefully misleading? It wouldn’t surprise me. Here’s some after election data for you: Pollsters Inflated Obama Lead.

As of noon Wednesday, Obama had won 63 million votes — 52 percent of the vote — compared with McCain’s 46 percent and 55.8 million. This amounts to a 6-point difference between the two candidates.

Right. We know that already. So, which polls are the best?

Two polls emerged as the most accurate: The Pew Research and Rasmussen Reports, which showed the race precisely at 52 percent to 46 percent.

Ahh… the ones that CBS, ABC and the rest regularly leave out. I see.

But poll predictions of Gallup, Reuters/Zogby, ABC/Washington Post, and CBS all had Obama winning by between 9 and 11 points.

So were they just poor pollsters are is there some underlying deceit in those organizations?

BTW, for those who claim that Fox is the polar opposite of the mainstream media, they had Obama winning by 7 points. Not a single poll had Obama winning by less than 5 points.

Obama Wins Election

Falling asleep, these lyrics came to my mind:

Be careful what you wish for,
‘Cause you just might get it all.

What do you think?

Election Day in America

Given the non-stop media barrage, I’ll be glad when this election is over. Not because I’ll be happy with the outcome, mind you, but because I won’t have to watch the endless stream of hateful ads and obvious liberal bias in the media. They can’t even disguise their slants any more.

Then you have the doofus academic elites doing pathetic pranks; acting more like students than professors.

In his blog post, Busse said “yanking out the signs and running like a scared rabbit back to my idling car was one of the single-most exhilarating and empowering political acts that I have ever done.”

How enlightened. This kind of behavior isn’t limited to one side of the aisle.

Democrats are criticizing a 38-year-old man who parked a trailer load of manure across the street from Whitehall’s Democratic campaign office to protest presidential hopeful Barack Obama.

Just plain silly.

No, the saddest part of things, at least to me, is that our culture is becoming increasingly secular. More and more people don’t see God as relevant to our lives. Our obsession with celebrity, our constant striving for more money, our unhealthy addiction to the pleasures of this world… all of this will ultimately leave us empty.

Instead, we should all be working towards the day, when at the end of our lives, we’ve built a relationship with the One who can lead us on to the next life.
