Spins, facts, believe whatever you want.

Oversampling Democrats is the modus operandi for the media and pollsters. It has been well documented and people still fall for it every time. Some recent polls have been oversampled by as much as 20% in favor of Obama and he's still only ahead by about 5% in most polls.

I believe THAT should be making Obama nervous. He needs a bigger lead if he wants to feel comfortable with the polls. Not leading by at least 10% with the polls being weighted in his favor spells trouble for him on November 4.

One of the main reasons for the state of shock and the backlash of many Democrats after the past two elections was because they believed their own polls.
