Rasmussen has the most accurate polling.
Past elections have proved this.
The 105 polls released in Senate and gubernatorial races by Rasmussen Reports and its subsidiary, Pulse Opinion Research, missed the final margin between the candidates by 5.8 points, a considerably higher figure than that achieved by most other pollsters. Some 13 of its polls missed by 10 or more points, including one in the Hawaii Senate race that missed the final margin between the candidates by 40 points, the largest error ever recorded in a general election in FiveThirtyEight’s database, which includes all polls conducted since 1998.

Polls should not even be published;
Polls don't affect me even one tiny bit.
They are used to sway the at least "my guy" Won!(people want to be counted on the side of the eventual winner) crowd
I will trade ALL the polls in America for truth on election day.edit on 18-9-2012 by 46ACE because: (no reason given)edit on 18-9-2012 by 46ACE because: (no reason given)edit on 18-9-2012 by 46ACE because: (no reason given)edit on 18-9-2012 by 46ACE because: (no reason given)

Actually they don't. Rasmussen was the least accurate in the 2010 elections.

Rasmussen Polls Were Biased and Inaccurate; Quinnipiac, SurveyUSA Performed Strongly

First third of the movie is likely dead on.
It makes a very strong case for his anti-colonialist perspective-- not that it stops him from pushing some colonialist mojo of his own.
But the remaining portion of the film goes off the rails, imo.
I think a much stronger case could have been made about why he and his crew are bad for the future.
In terms of the film's success providing some insight into what will happen at the polls. Who knows? It certainly shouldn't be dismissed that people are spending their entertainment dollars on a political piece like this.
Seems meaningful and worth noting.

Romney 47%
Obama 45%
The undecided usually vote for the challenger.

You've posted (briefly) some crazy stuff before, but the undecided most assuredly do not usually vote for the challenger. In fact, the incumbent wins reelection more often than not. The undecided determine elections, so you might reconsider that statement. Add to that, Romney is a disaster that makes the Bob Dole campaign look well run. I look forward to you one line response that may or may not meet the grammar requirements of a complete sentence.

My wife and I saw it and she is far from a Republican.
In my case, I have abandoned that label years ago, as I'm something more close to a green libertarian. (

I haven't seen this movie, but it doesn't sound too impressive- anticolonialism? Is this the 19th century?

Even if he is against colonialism that is a more moral position than being for it.

I can't see anyone with a brain being swayed by this movie.

My wife was very much an Obama supporter during the first election. She WANTED to believe all of his promises.
Now, she's looking at all of the 3rd party candidates.
In terms of the movie, she came to the same conclusion I did. First third was fascinating, the rest a specious hit piece that missed an opportunity to truly tell it like it is.
