<\/p>\nRUSH: There\u2019s a new poll out. CBS\/New York Times. Quinnipiac University. CBS and the New York Times are using a new pollster. And, folks, they are having an orgasm over this poll out there today. It\u2019s a poll of battleground states, and of course the end result shows Obama way up in all these battleground states. It\u2019s exciting. They can\u2019t wait to tell everybody about it. Except there\u2019s a problem. They do not break down the sample in the story. Neither the New York Times nor CBS let the reader know the partisan identification of the participants in the poll. <\/p>\n
Now, it is likely voters, another reason they\u2019re so happy. But it has been learned, there are people that dug deep and found out the sample. The CBS\/New York Times sample has Democrats plus nine in the sample in Florida. That is not how the turnout was in 2010 midterms, and it\u2019s not how the turnout was in 2008. So nobody can figure out, why give the Democrats a nine-percentage-point advantage in the sample? In 2008 the Democrats were plus three in actual turnout, and in the 2010 midterms it was even split. There was not an election, a recent election that shows the Democrats winning by nine points or turning out by nine percentage points greater than Republicans, and yet this poll assigns Democrats a nine-point advantage in Florida. <\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
In Ohio, the Ohio sample has exactly the split in 2008, which is Democrat plus eight, which is nine points better than the Democrats did in the midterms. Folks, they\u2019re lying to themselves. They\u2019re putting together a vote sample. Pennsylvania did the same thing. They are giving themselves greater numbers. They\u2019re asking many more Democrats than Republicans, is what this means in this poll, who they plan on voting for. They\u2019re asking Democrats in greater numbers that have not been reflected in the past two elections. Now, you couple this with the fact that everybody knows that Republican voter enthusiasm on any poll you look at is sky-high. Democrat voter enthusiasm is way down. <\/p>\n
There\u2019s no way, for example, in Florida that 9% more Democrats are gonna turn out and vote than Republicans in November. Ditto Ohio, and ditto Pennsylvania. The only way you can believe this poll, and you\u2019re gonna be seeing it because it\u2019s all over the place, and they\u2019re ecstatic with it. They think this is the poll that has it locked up now. Shows Obama, everything he\u2019s doing is working, so it\u2019s good they\u2019re lying to themselves. But these polls would only mean something if you believe that the Democrats are gonna show up much more, in greater numbers, than Republicans in any state, but in these three, Florida, Ohio, and Pennsylvania. The truth of the matter is that Romney\u2019s in good shape in all three of these states. These states are still toss-ups. There\u2019s no way they\u2019ve gone for Obama yet. Ohio is always a toss-up, and Pennsylvania, but Florida, there\u2019s no way. <\/p>\n
They\u2019re lying to themselves, and in a way that\u2019s good. And that\u2019s what they do, they lie to themselves about all kinds of things all the time, and the more they lie to themselves, the more confident they\u2019re going to be when they have really no grounds. I mean, Romney, this poll is such that Romney may as well just quit. He may as well just give up. Every one of these states, every one of these swing states, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Florida, they all have bad economies. Why would anybody believe that Obama would be more popular in those states? Those states\u2019 economies are in the tank. There\u2019s no common-sense reason why Obama would be up by the numbers he\u2019s up in this poll in these states. Don\u2019t doubt me. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
