Even Polls With Samples Favorable To Democrats Are Picking Romney To Win

For months, conservatives have criticized the obviously Democrat-friendly samples used in any number of polls, samples giving Dem respondents anything from a 6 to 13 point edge over the GOP.

But times have changed as even polls using samples that favor Democrat participants are showing Mitt Romney with a lead over Barack Hussein Obama.
The Suffolk University poll of likely Ohio voters uses a voter registration sample of 39% Democrat, 35% Republican, and 27% Independent. But the 4-point advantage for Democrat Party members yields a 3 point advantage in the poll for Mitt Romney, 48-45.
The Monmouth University poll uses a sample of 35 Dem/34 Indep/31 Rep. Here, even Independents outnumber Republicans, and Democrats hold a 4 point edge. Yet the results of the national poll show Romney with a 3 point lead among likely voters, 48-45. Also, though Obama holds a 4 point lead with women voters, he is down dramatically among men at 51-40.


Susquehanna Polling Research conducted a poll in the State of Pennsylvania between October 11^th and October 13^th. The sample gave Democrats a significant 6 point advantage, 48-42. Independents in this poll accounted for only 10% of respondents. Yet even in this very blue state, Romney was up by 4 points on Obama, 49-45.
The Rasmussen Daily Tracking poll now gives Romney a 4 point lead over Obama, 50-46. It is the first time Romney has broken the 50% barrier and reflects a 2 point improvement from the preceding days. The poll even factors in the 2^nd debate, which the mainstream media claimed to have been won in grand fashion by the president. Yet Rasmussen has used a 3 point registration advantage for Democrats for some time. Very interesting in this poll is the measure of party loyalty. Romney will receive the vote of 89% of Republicans while Obama nets the support of just 82% of Democrats.

Pro-Obama polling results have made their way around the nation for months as CBS, ABC, the New York Times, and others have employed up to a +13 advantage for Democrat respondents. But these bogus polls have been called on their phony tactics, and few but the most rabid of Obama supporters now pay much attention to their claims.
With just 2 weeks to go until Election Day, Mitt Romney may well begin to pull further away from Obama as legitimate polling firms become more interested in their reputation than in loyalty to a political cause. If Romney’s lead in the Rasmussen Daily poll remains firm, he will be the next president
