Get a load of this malarkey (to quote our ever quotable soon-to-be former Vice President.) Here are the numbers from the latest ABC / WashPo poll that gives Obama a +3 advantage over Romney nationally, 49%-46%. Just for good measure, we include both their likely and registered voters figures as well as what the numbers were in their last survey.
Poll Date – D / R / I / Other (vol.) / No opinion
10/13/12 LV – 35 / 26 / 33 / 3 / 2
10/13/12 RV – 34 / 25 / 36 / 3 / 2
9/29/12 LV – 33 / 30 / 33 / 3 / 1
9/29/12 RV – 33 / 28 / 34 / 4 / 1
That’s right, they went from a D+3 LV model to a D+9 LV model in the course of two weeks. Is Dem intensity up since the first presidential debate? Not according to this poll which actually gives Romney the edge in voter enthusiasm 62% to 60% for Obama (four years ago McCain was at a pathetic 31%.)
Perhaps someone should suggest to “Weird Al” Yankovic to make a parody of the Maroon 5 song “Moves Like Jagger” and instead have it “Laughs Like Biden.” It would be perfect accompaniment for reading the Post.

You do know Jiim that the poll numbers are looking like race track odds………………..changing by the second…..and at the stroke of midnight tonight……..or maybe 9:00 and 2 seconds tonight, they will all magically change!!!
Exactly, Ken. I’m just pointing out the absurdity of the Post’s methodology. They’re assuming the Dems’ advantage will be greater in 2012 than it was in 2008. Even in that abysmal year for the GOP, they had 29% of the vote while Dems has 31% (this is all according to a 2008 study by American University’s Center for the Study of the American Electorate.) The Post is predicting GOP turnout will be down 3% and Democrat turnout up 4%, yet their own poll indicates Republicans are more energized to vote. It just doesn’t make sense.
