No, I don't think it's accurate.

Funny, how you can claim the so-called "left-wing media" skews polls to Democratic favor, but never recognize that the right could possibly do the same. Are you attempting to say ALL of the others are left wing biased?

Did I say you did? It ain't all about you, whell. Get a grip on that persecution complex of yours and carefully shove it where your posts emanate from.

It is. Sometimes, just like anyone else, they get it wrong. I've visited the site you linked to and examined the poll. As I said in an earlier post, their sample is quite small for that poll and, looking back over previous Pew polls, you can see that the small samples tend to favor Romney. It points to flawed methodology when your sample size is predictive of a certain result.

Really? You post something in a thread I start that references polling data, don't direct the comment anyone else, and I'm just supposed to assume that it's not a commentary on my original post?

Why don't you take your lame attempts at sarcasm and shove them where your posts originate from...though you might need to move your head first.

I dunno whell. Sure looks like another R$R spike and looking at the graphs right there at RCP they always shoot back into negative territory. Hence my comment that you should enjoy your sugar rush. I do understand that you fervently hope that this trend will continue but if the past year is any guage of performance, R$R's chances are indeed toast. But, hey if you want to see some tectonic shift here in a snapshot? Go for it, pleasure yourself.

Here's a clue for you, whell. I was responding to a post by Blue. I even quoted it in my response. A less self-involved person than you might have taken that into consideration before running off at the mouth.

Yes, a post which Blue was directing to me and asking a question, which you echoed and answered. A less self involved person than you would acknowledge their error.
