Subject: RE: FINAL CoJ 2012 Presidential Election PollNow that we have about the same number of respondents as the first two polls, it appears that there was no significant movement in results between the second and this, final, poll. It does appear there was a shift away from Romney between the first and second polls which, oddly, coincided with the timing of the first presidential debate that seemed to move national polls TOWARD Romney.
Just something interesting to note, indicative of nothing. It's not like this is a scientific poll and the "sample" is obviously extremely skewed. However, from a numbers standpoint, I've seen statewide polls consist of a sample only five times greater in number, and you can't tell me there isn't a huge selection bias in who actually responds to political polls these days. I think many of these polls that people are getting excited about could be getting it significantly wrong. Guess we'll find out how wrong tomorrow.
