Republicans only hope

First it was the fact checkers, then it was the media, now we have poll truthers.



Poll: 71 Percent Of Republicans Think Pollsters Are Skewing Results To Help Obama

Poll trutherism is anything but a fringe belief among Republicans, a new poll released Tuesday shows.

The latest survey from Democratic-leaning Public Policy Polling (PPP), commissioned by Daily Kos and Service Employees International Union, shows that 71 percent of Republicans believe pollsters are deliberately skewing their results to produce a more favorable outcome for President Barack Obama. Overall, voters are split: 42 percent said they believe pollsters are intentionally skewing their polls, compared with 40 percent who said they are not.

Skepticism over recent polls — many of which have shown Obama with a growing lead over Mitt Romney — has reached a fever pitch among conservatives, epitomized by a new right-wing website that provides "unskewed" results of polls.
