Gallup's 2012 Final Poll Result!



Taken 2 days before 2012 election. Mitt Romney was so sure, that he didn't even bother writing a concession speech. Where is President Romney today?

Now, I'm not one of those who call bs on polls, I believe polling can be very accurate, but the only poll that matters is the one after the votes are counted. We need to hold onto every Senate seat we possibly can in 2014 because in 2016 Republicans currently will have 24 Senate seats up for grabs. 2016 has the makings of a huge Dem wave election. Over 60 seats may be possible? GOTFV!

1. Why do people keep posting this lie? This was NOT Gallup's final poll.

It was not taken 2 days before the election. It was taken more than 6 MONTHS before the election. And it was an outlier even then.

4. Therefore you can just make up lies about a poll from 6 months before the election?

What is your point? Why are you lying about this poll? Are you going to edit your OP so people can get the facts and not lies that you make up?

Plus, Ipsos took more polls than almost everyone else, except PPP, and Rasmussen Reports who had a reputation for being more rightwing than others.

only 5 skew Dem?

edit: And of those 5, Quinnipiac is the only one that ever gets cited in the M$M.

2. President Romney is in Alaska today

stumping for Dan Sullivan. I think it's telling that he didn't come up here during his presidential run because he knew he had Alaska in the bag, but feels the necessity to shore up Ohio Dan, who is decidedly not popular with the commoners.
