Will the pollsters be called out for consistently stating that it's 50-50

[no_hypocrisy]

or 47-47 all the way to Election Day and the actual results are so lopsided like 87-12? Or the media for relying on these disingenuous pollsters and not contracting their own polls?

1. Called out by whom?

The hack so-called journalists who have been gleefully feeding it to us like corn to chickens?

2. As one pundit said, despite all the numbers crunching, humans are unpredictable.

3. Since it will not be 82-12, what should they be called out for?

4. Where is 87-12 coming from?

6. 82-12 is probably Nate Silver's latest odds of electoral college victory for Obama at 538.com

7. Silver's current popular vote projection is Obama 50.6% Romney 48.4%.

Which is very close to the so-called 50-50 polls the OP is bemoaning. http://fivethirtyeight.blogs.nytimes.com/

8. read the ELECTORAL COLLEGE predictions

9. YOU CAN SHOUT ALL YOU WANT

But the poster is still wrong. The OP was referring to POLLS being 50/50 and how that was off because of the "87-12". The POLLs refer to the POPULAR VOTE not the Electoral College. What Silver projects in the POPULAR vote is very close to the polls which say the election is very close. The poster is comparing apples and oranges and getting pissed off about it. GET IT???

5. No Way Jose,

Bain and Sterling own most of the polling companies. Pay attention to the real world,get off the game boy and read what the hell is out there please. Got a feeling this race is so lopsided and like I said before,it's all about the bottom line for the media companies. Fake polls with fake numbers. 538 looks like the real thing at this time,but,watch for some really shitty stuff in Ohio. Sounds like both campaigns have Lawyers on the ground. Jim Baker,the guy who got George the idiot,elected is supposed to be on his way to Columbus.

Very interesting.
