Oh lawd, Virginia is tied Molly!!! The Bain attacks are not working...Romney is on the move...look at this:
"Republican challenger Mitt Romney wipes out President Barack Obama's lead in Virginia and the two candidates are deadlocked 44 - 44 percent in the race for the Old Dominion's 13 electoral votes, according to a Quinnipiac University poll released today."
Let's check the demographics before we get too excited:
Last month when they found Obama up five, this was their sample:
REGISTERED VOTERS....
Weighted UnWeighted
Percent Frequency
PARTY IDENTIFICATION
Republican 28% 404
Democrat 31 364
Independent 33 416
Other/DK/NA 8 98
This month, they arbitrarily weighted their own poll completely differently for um, some reason:
REGISTERED VOTERS....
Weighted UnWeighted
Percent Frequency
PARTY IDENTIFICATION
Republican 28% 500
Democrat 28 439
Independent 37 630
Other/DK/NA 7 104
So actually, Romney's position didn't change, just the Qunnipiac's weighting. They increased republican weighting by 3% and, independents by 4% and we know tea partiers claim to be independent.
So the questions is...why play with your own weighting from month to month?
I think we know...
