I have ALWAYS used realclearpolitics as my go to polls, since the Bush years. Does that make me a conservative? Or does that make you wrong on your assessment of liberals and their sources? "Some" is not a scientific poll.

I have shared this before, but this guy, Nate Silver, does a better job than RCP as far was bias weighting and actually factors in current economic date. He has been withing .1% of the final numbers since I think the 2000 election, including Senate and Congressional elections.
I enjoy driving through my neighborhood in Evergreen, sure there are a few Obummer signs- but it's about 5 to 1 Romney signs.
Many of the Obummer signs are placed in public spaces or common areas where they shouldn't even be.
I was also driving through Hiwan last night after visiting with my parents- same thing. 5:1 Romney signs. These neighborhoods still have people who work for a living, pulling their own weight.
I don't place any value on the signs themselves because I know many of the people who don't have any signs are republicans- and I know how they will vote.
It's just an example of how many people have had enough of a Socialist in the white house.
The vast majority of conservatives won't put up a sign, but they will be voting come Nov. 6. I call them the silent majority.
