An 'unskewed' look at the polls

We all know that most of these bogus, Dem-oversampled polls floating out there by the Obama-zombies in the media are just that, right? Rush has been reminding us over the past several days not to get caught up or discouraged by the media's all-in attempt to reelect Obama (as if it's not blatantly obvious to the trained eye!). These polls are designed to do nothing more than depress you and attempt to convince everybody that this election is already over. And I don't think I'll be the first or last to call BS on them!

But rather than pick them apart and dwell on the media malpractice, let's do something more constructive and take a look at a few unskewed charts...

Freedom's Lighthouse: Jay Cost, at the Weekly Standard, has put together this chart showing where incumbent Presidents have been in the Gallup Poll in mid-September. As you see, and as Cost points out, every incumbent President who has been below 50% in mid-September has lost. Every incumbent President above 50% has ended up the winner. Right now, Barack Obama is at 47%.

Yes, I know, suddenly the polls average Obama's approval at nearly 50%...funny how that happens, huh? Not really, when, as I said before, most of the media are shamelessly all-in for their guy. But let's look at even more...this one's very interesting...

WND: Arguing that most of the major polls reported by establishment media are “skewed” in favor of the Democratic Party and incumbent Barack Obama, a website contends that a true gauge of the presidential race, based on more realistic models, shows Republican challenger Mitt Romney leading by an average of nearly eight points.

In its daily readjustment of the polling data, UnskewedPoll.com also produces a table showing the spread in President Obama’s approval/disapproval ratio is an average of 8.8 percent more disapproval, as of Monday.

Not a single major poll or approval/disapproval index favors Obama when Unskewed.com’s analysis is applied.

The website says there is Democratic bias in polling because of over-sampling Democrats based on voter exit polls in the 2008 presidential election, when enthusiasm for a then relatively unknown but charismatic presidential candidate boosted Democratic Party voter registration and turnout to historic levels.

Republicans have complained that the establishment media’s voter-turnout models can serve a partisan purpose by presenting margins that keep discouraged Republican voters at home thinking the election is already lost.

You bet that's what this is all about! Don't be fooled, folks...this election is far from over.
