Why Is The Democrats Lead Being Reported To Have Fallen In NZ?

[althecat]

I see very little evidence of this in this forum.

&

I see no rational reason why it would have fallen.

& yet...

According to Radio New Zealand the Democrats lead has fallen dramatically in the last few days.

Is this crappola or what?

1. IT is the same old BS. They push fake polls to make it seem credible when they steal it

It can not work this time. WE must WIN too BIG TO STEAL

2. What poll is this crappola based on though?

4. Totally crap.

Relax New Zealand - we ARE gonna vote. Rain, sleet or hail - WE VOTE!!!

5. Two of the large generic national polls

have shown the dems advantage narrowing, but individual congressional district polls do not reflect the repubs gaining any ground.

6. Karl Told the Polling Orgs to Call More Republicans, and They Did

7. Just wait till tonight...

when the talking heads start spinning.

9. This might actually help democrat GOTV

[marions ghost]

11. no good reason

you can't expect rationality around American elections....

I don't think most people here believe any of that--it's all spin.

[BrotherBuzz]

13. You Kiwis may be a day ahead, but...

Your press is way behind. They picked up on a bogus poll that circulated a few days ago. It's much better than what you read, and is just another indication how desperate the GOP has become.

[althecat]

14. Does anyone remember the over sampling of republicans in 2004

... is that what happened with ABC Pew & Gallup?

Would be interesting to know.

I would love to know just how corrupt your media really is.
