Romney has led Obama within the margin of error before, so I doubt that Obama's gay marriage stance has anything to do with this.

I don't understand what's so bad about rejecting polls you don't think are accurate.  Myself and other liberals have no-noed many polls that give Obama or other Democrats the edge but don't appear credible for one reason or another.  I guess ultra-partisanship really does blind people.

Maybe it's just not worth pointing out a poll's flaws anymore, since the other side is just going to whine about it anyway. Tongue

POLLS SHOW ROMNEY LEADS OBAMA

Dems:

It's an outlier.  It's a joke poll.  It has to be.  There's just no other way to explain it.

It can't be!  

NO, NO, IT CAN'T BE!  IT CAN'T BEEEEEEEEEE!  AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!
  

Will you please be quiet...

I think most reasonable people would look at this poll and say "there is no way the gender and age gap closed up that quickly or that comprehensively".

Exactly the same as the NH poll which has Obama up 12%... the cross tabs don't make sense there and I'm happy to discount a bunk poll that shows Obama ahead, just as easily as I'm dismissing this, because the cross tabs not only go against the general trends, they also go against common sense.

Please understand that not EVERYTHING is based on political allegiance and common sense needs to factor here.
