ABC/WAPO Poll Uses Questionable Sample to Have Obama Lead Romney 49% to 46% … Under Samples GOP by 10% … NBC/WSJ Skewed Sample as Well

All polls are not created equal … in fact some are just plain disingenuous. 

The most recent ABC/Washington Post poll has President Barack Obama ahead of GOP challenger Mitt Romney, 49% to 46%. Good news for Obama, right? Well, if you like faux polls it is. When will the liberal MSM ever learn that falsifying poll results serves no purpose on election day? The WAPO goes on to say that Obama and Romney are in a dead heat on the economy, Really?

The parity on economic issues foreshadows what probably will continue to be a tough and negative campaign. Overall, voters would be split 49 percent for Obama and 46 percent for Romney if the November election were held now. On handling the economy, they are tied at 47 percent.

Despite flare-ups over issues including contraception and same-sex marriage, more than half of all Americans cite the economy as the one concern that will decide their vote in the fall, relegating others — such as health care, taxes and the federal deficit — to single-digit status.

Voters are evenly divided between Obama and Romney on the question of who could kick-start the economy and also are split on job creation, with 46 percent siding with the president and 45 percent with Romney.

OK, let’s go inside the sampling polling numbers. The full results of the poll can be seen HERE.

The ABC/WAPO poll used the following model sampling: Democrat 32%, Republican 22% and Independents 38%. The exit polling in the 2008 Presidential election was Democrat 39%, Republican 32% and Independents 29%. However, there was a huge change in the 2010 election as Democrats and Obama took a shellacking. Interestingly enough, 2010 exit polling had those voting at Democrat 35%, Republican 35% and Independents 29%.  So the trend is moving to be even rather than Democrats with a large sampling lead. However, that did not stop the WAPO and ABC to use an overinflated Democrat sample to give Obama a more than questionable poll results. The poll over-sampled Democrats to Republicans by 10%, yet Obama only leads Romney by 3%.

Rasmussen Poll: 40% Say Trayvon Martin Shot in Self-Defense; Only 24% Say It Was Murder … Only 47% of Blacks Think Zimmerman Murdered Martin

As evidence and facts are released in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin, the more people believe that George Zimmerman shot in self-defense.

My how the opinion is changing in the shooting death of Trayvon Martin by George Zimmerman. Initially when the story was inaccurately reported by the MSM and the race baiters like Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson were out in force fanning the flames of racism, many thought that George Zimmerman was guilty of murder.  The MSM even went as far as purposely manipulating the Zimmerman 911 call and misrepresent the facts.  My what a difference actual facts and evidence makes.

According to the most recent Rasmussen poll, 40% now believe that George Zimmerman shot 17 year old Trayvon Martin in self-defense, only 24% now believe that it was murder. WOW,  only a mere 15% believed Zimmerman acted in self-defense in March and 24% in April. George Zimmerman, the neighborhood watch captain was charged with second degree murder.  What is even more stunning with the polling numbers is that 47% of black adults feel Zimmerman should be found guilty of murdering Trayvon Martin, down from 55% in March. Of course the public opinion was influenced by not only the media’s bias reporting, but also President Obama interjecting himself in the case stating that Trayvon Martin could have looked like his son.

A new Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 24% of American Adults still believe the man who shot Martin should be found guilty of murder. But that’s down from 33% in late March when the case first began to draw national headlines and 30% in early April.

Forty percent (40%) now think George Zimmerman, who has been charged with second degree murder in the Martin shooting, acted in self-defense. That’s up 25 points from 15% in March and up 16 points from 24% last month. Thirty-six percent (36%) remain undecided, compared to 55% two months ago. (To see survey question wording, click here.)

Interestingly, 47% of black adults still feel Zimmerman should be found guilty of murdering the black teenager, compared to 55% in March.

It is simply amazing how the public opinion has shifted in this case once actual facts came out in the case as opposed to the liberal MSM bias agenda. The calls of racism and racial profiling have been pretty much debunked by the autopsy reports of Trayvon Martin that stated he had bruised knuckles and the medical reports and pics that show that George Zimmerman had two black eyes, a broken nose and cuts to the back of his head.

The real question is will justice be served in this case or will the pressures of political correctness and race baiting win out? One think is for certain, the death of any 17 year old is tragic; however, the manipulating of a case to stir racial tensions and fan the flames of racism is reprehensible. The MSM so wanted there to be a hate crime of a white on black crime. So much that the MSM invented a new category of people, “White Hispanics”.

Great analysis from Weasel Zippers, Anyone else notice a correlation between new evidence backing up Zimmerman’s claims and a huge drop in MSM coverage?

MSNBC Anchor Tamron Hall Gets in a Huff & Cuts off Contributor’s Mic over Romney Defense & Non-Story … “You’re kind of in my house here”

More award winning media from MS-LSD …

Ever wonder why no one but the far LEFT loons watch MSNBC these days? Take a quick watch of the VIDEO below of MSNBC host Tamron Hall gets all belligerent because the guest dares defend Mitt Romney and go against the MSNBC bias liberal agenda. She actually cuts off the individuals mic and goes screwy making accusations that never occurred.

WOW, which begs the question I have asked for years … why does any one go on the network that would defend the right’s point of view? One, no one watched the netword. Two, those that do are so far in the tank for Obama and the far left that it is a total waste of breath and time to try and put forth one’s point of view.

Shocker, Liberal Biased SNL Scraps Skit Critical of Obama on Killing Osama bin Laden Day … Replaces It with Another Fox News Parody

Oh those avant guard SNL comedians ,,, they just live on the edge at SNL.

Leave it to the uber Libs at Saturday Night Live to once again be in the tank for President Barack Obama. Look for SNL to no longer have any skits that are critical of Obama’s incompetence as president or his failed policies.  As reported at The Daily Caller, SNL scrapped a skit that was to be critical and make fum of President Barack Obama taking full credit for the US Navy Seals killing Osama Bin Laden. Instead they replaced it with, wait, wait for it …  a skit bashing Fox News, FOX & FRIENDS.

The Daily Caller has obtained a scrapped sketch critical of President Barack Obama that was intended for airing at the opening of last night’s “Saturday Night Live” on NBC.

In the skit, President Obama addresses Americans soon after the first anniversary of the killing of Osama bin Laden — and he makes sure to remind viewers that all credit for the raid on the terrorist leader’s compound belongs to him.

“I hope you had a safe and joyous first anniversary of his killing,” the president, portrayed by Fred Armisen, begins.

“Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to be at home this year, as I had to fly to Afghanistan, to remind President Karzai that, exactly one year ago, we killed Osama bin Laden, and that the decision to do so was a gutsy one,” the president continues. “And was mine.”

The president then outlines what gifts are appropriate on the anniversaries of “Killing Osama bin Laden Day,” and reminds his audience that “heavy drinking, and Killing Osama bin Laden Day, are never a good combination.”

Read the script to the skit HERE that got nixed in place of the same old tired skit SNL runs mocking Fox & Friends. Pathetic.

CNBC’s Rick Santelli on the Obama Job Recovery (Obamanomics) … Blasts Liberal Media’s “Ostrich Economics”

MORE MSM BIAS … CARRYING THE WATER FOR BARACK OBAMA …

CNBC’s Rick Santelli provides a lesson in telling the truth to the liberal main stream media regarding the disastrous Barack Obama jobs numbers. Santelli blasted the MSM for purposely and willfully misleading the American public by just saying that the unemployment rate was reduced to 8.1%. Santelli dubbed it “Ostrich Economics”. Honestly, it is criminal what the liberal MSM is doing and shilling for Barack Obama and his failed Obamanomics.  The media complacency and yes, conspiracy, of continuing to carry the water for Obama is an outrage. Does anyone think that the MSM would be so quiet and not investigating the details of the numbers if this terrible job recovery was taking place under George W. Bush or any other Republican President?

There are some highlights I’d really like to hit. The first one is that about 41.3% of unemployed have been unemployed for 39.1 weeks. That is huge and pretty much says it all. This is the weakest recovery since the Great Depression. A whole 4/5ths of the drop of the unemployment rate is due to a drop in the labor force participation. It is the lowest since 1981.

Many of regional news shows were reporting on just the unemployment rate. That’s “ostrich economics.”

The MSM will lie, cheat and steal so to see Barack Obama win reelection in 2012. Look for the unemployment rate to go below 8% leading up to the 2012 reelection and the MSM touting it as a success for Obama, when the reality is that there are a record number of Americans no longer in the work force.

Sorry, but the real unemployment rate as reported at Zero Hedge in the United States is 11.6%. Anyone think that Barack Obama and his shills in the MSM would ever report that?

The implication is simple: using a real labor force participation rate long-term average of 65.8%, the real unemployment rate in April was 11.6%, based on the 5.4 million additional workers that should be counted as part of the U-3 which then means that the real number of unemployed is not 12.5 million but 17.9 million, which in turn implies a 11.6% unemployment rate in the US. This also means that the spread between the propaganda, and the real number is now 3.5%: the most it has been since the early 1980s.

Obama Economy Unemployment Lie … 115,000 Jobs Added in April 2012 … Unemployment Rate Down to 8.1%

Unemployment rate drops to 8.1% … WHAT A LIE AND POLITICAL BUNCH OF BS THIS IS.

A meager 115,000 jobs were added by the Obama economic recovery, missing the expected 170,000 jobs that the experts had foretasted. What a joke the unemployment rate has become. This is nothing more than a fabricated Obama economic aid for reelection. Look for the rate to go below 8% in the coming months even if we lose jobs in a month rather than add them. The fix is in to fabricate the numbers as a positive for Obama even though millions of Americans are out of work and either unemployed or underemployed. Obviously more people are dropping out of the job market, that is why the rate is going down not anything that Barack Obama is doing for job growth.

THE EMPLOYMENT SITUATION — APRIL 2012

Nonfarm payroll employment rose by 115,000 in April, and the unemployment
rate was little changed at 8.1 percent, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported today. Employment increased in professional and business services,
retail trade, and health care, but declined in transportation and warehousing.

Household Survey Data

Both the number of unemployed persons (12.5 million) and the unemployment
rate (8.1 percent) changed little in April. (See table A-1.)

THE TRUTH ,,, 522,000 DROPPED OUT OF THE WORK FORCE ALONE IN APRIL 2012. THE LOWEST PARTICIPATION RATE IN 30 YEARS!!!

From Bloomberg:

A slowdown in hiring as corporate optimism cools may restrain the wage growth needed to fuel consumer spending, which accounts for about 70 percent of the economy. Federal Reserve policy makers view unemployment as “elevated” and plan to hold borrowing costs low through late 2014.

The unemployment rate was forecast to hold at 8.2 percent, according to the survey median. Estimates in the Bloomberg survey ranged from 8.1 percent to 8.3 percent. Unemployment has exceeded 8 percent since February 2009, the longest such stretch since monthly records began in 1948.

The participation rate, which indicates the share of working-age people in the labor force, fell to 63.6 percent, the lowest since December 1981, from 63.8 percent.

God forbid Americans are ever told the truth anymore.

Another Misleading MSM George Zimmerman 9-11 Call Edit Costs a NBC News Employee Her Job Reporting on the Trayvon Martin Death

EDITGATE … Lilia Luciano, a Miami-based NBC News correspondent is the latest to lose her job in the NBC MSM George Zimmerman 911 call editing scandal in the covering of the death of Trayvon Martin. Yet more selective editing to shape the story for their own narrative.

Lilia Luciano, a Miami-based NBC News correspondent, is no longer working for the network, TVNewser has learned.

Luciano last reported for NBC News March 31. Until that point, she had been reporting mainly on the Trayvon Martin story. Sources tell TVNewser Luciano’s dismissal came after an investigation which also led to the firing of a seasoned NBC News producer over a similar, misleading edit. In a story for the “Today” show on March 20, Luciano used part of the George Zimmerman 911 call in which an entire phrase (italicized below) was taken from a later part of the conversation:

Zimmerman: This guy looks like he’s up to no good or on drugs or something. He’s got his hand in his waistband. And he’s a black male.
Dispatcher: Are you following him?
Zimmerman: Yeah.
Dispatcher: Okay, we don’t need you to do that.

As stated by Brent Bozell does any one think that the three low level firings by NBC are an acceptable answer to what NBC did in out right falsely reporting on this case and purposely editing to misrepresent the facts?

NBC has now fired three people from two different offices over at least two different edits of George Zimmerman’s now infamous 9-1-1 call prior to the shooting death of Trayvon Martin. Both edits were clearly designed to portray Zimmerman as a racist while raising tensions in an already volatile situation.  This latest firing from NBC once again goes unexplained.  NBC’s actions vindicate the Media Research Center’s original point that NBC’s two-sentence (non)apology was an insult, and that this is a network out of control.

The truth has been withheld from NBC’s own viewers now for more than one month.  Do the network executives at NBC think that this is acceptable? What about the board and shareholders of Comcast?  Is it acceptable for a news organization to consciously and constantly lie to its viewers?

Misleader … Barack Obama’s Imaginary Girlfriend from Autobiography ‘Dreams From My Father’ … You Can Find it in the Fiction Section

Autobiography – au·to·bi·og·ra·phy [aw-tuh-bahy-og-ruh-fee]

noun, plural au·to·bi·og·ra·phies.
a history of a person’s life written or told by that person.

Why does Barack Obama have so many questionable, made up things in his past and why doesn’t the media really care to investigate them? Imagine if such accounts were that of a Republican candidate or President, the MSM would be attempting to uncover ever stone.  Especially, if they wrote about it in their autobiography.

Barack Obama’s life appears to be a well scripted Hollywood made for TV movie

An autobiography is supposed to be an account of one’s life written or told by that individual. Not when it comes to Barack Obama. It would appear that ‘Dreams From My Father’, Obama’s so-called autobiography can be found in the fiction section of your local library, Barnes & Noble and Amazon.com. It would appear that Obama mislead in his autobiography … what a shock.

One of the more mysterious characters from President Obama’s 1995 autobiography Dreams From My Father is the so-called ‘New York girlfriend.’ Obama never referred to her by name, or even by psuedonym, but he describes her appearance, her voice, and her mannerisms in specific detail.

But Obama has now told biographer David Maraniss that the ‘New York girlfriend’ was actually a composite character, based off of multiple girlfriends he had both in New York City and in Chicago.

Now This is a Hate Crime: Alton L. Hayes III … I Beat Up White Man Because I Am Mad About Trayvon Martin Case … The MSM, Sharpton & Jackson Remain Silent

Oh the media  double standard silence is deafening …

May this be a reminder to the President Barack Obama, the bias MSM, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Oprah Winfrey, Rep. Maxine Watters (D-CA),  the New Black Panther Party and the rest of the foolish sheep that allow themselves to be manipulated by racist hate … THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED A HATE CRIME!!!

Alton L. Hayes III

Alton L. Hayes III, 18,  and a 15 year old boy claimed they robbed and assaulted a victim because he was upset by the Trayvon Martin case and beat the man up because he was white. So let’s understand this … two black beat the crap out of a white guy because they were upset about Trayvon Martin? Really?

Hayes and a 15-year-old Chicago boy walked up behind the 19-year-old man victim and pinned his arms to his side, police said. Hayes, 18, then picked up a large tree branch, pointed it at the man and said, “Empty your pockets, white boy.”

The two allegedly rifled through the victim’s pockets, then threw him to the ground and punched him “numerous times” in the head and back before running away, police said. Hayes and the boy are black; the victim is white.

After being arrested, Hayes told police he was upset by the Trayvon Martin case and beat the man up because he was white, Cook County State’s Attorney’s office spokeswoman Tandra Simonton said, citing court records.

How ignorant could an individual be?  This fool just admitted to a “hate crime” as opposed to simple assault and robbery.  However,I just two questions, one, George Zimmerman is Hispanic, not white. Two, I must have missed the part where there was a robbery in the Trayvon Martin case.

Actually there is a third question. Where is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson marching in the streets with “No Justice, No Peace” over this racial hate crime? Where is the NBBP putting out a bounty on the racists?  As stated by the Left Coast Rebel, we are awaiting the response from the LEFT.

Hmm … I am betting Barack Obama will not be commenting that Alton L. Hayes III looks like his son, had he had one.
