Some people have pointed out that it's states who elect Presidents, not a nationwide popular vote. States like Ohio are crucial to winning the election, they say. So the fact that the nationwide popular polls are hugely skewed, doesn't really matter, they say.
Well, the latest state poll taken in Ohio shows Obama ahead by 8% in that state. Only problem is, they had to ask 35% more Democrats than Republicans in Ohio, to get that "result".
Yep, the same huge skewing is going on in the statewide "polls" that show Obama ahead.
What are the chances that 35% more Dems than Republicans, will actually vote in Ohio on Nov. 6?
I didn't think so.
