When a democrat polling firm says Obama and Romney are tied, do you say its biased?

Every time a conservative posts up a poll, democrats blame the Biased poll



Public Policy Polling- Romney 45 percent, and Mr. Obama 45 percent and Obama is losing among independent voters by a margin of 49 percent to 44 percent.



Also the "vast majority" of undecideds disapprove of the president's performance.



So is this also biased?

Is this the vast right wing conspiracy?When a democrat polling firm says Obama and Romney are tied, do you say its biased?Some polls, like Gallup, Zogby, and ABC/Washington Post, really try to be objective. Pollsters identified as Democratic or Republican are inherently biased. Their bias, however subtle, can be seen in the way questions are asked. These polls are nevertheless often accurate, and don't always give the results the pollsters are looking for.|||When the results are within the margin of error the poll means little. Insiders, say Obama will win. They are almost always right.When a democrat polling firm says Obama and Romney are tied, do you say its biased?That depends on the person you're asking. Does it tell them what they want to hear? If yes, than it is a completely trustworthy site, no exceptions. If no, it's extremely biased and unfair, and the web site it came from is probably run by racist nazis.|||obama will win again.When a democrat polling firm says Obama and Romney are tied, do you say its biased?The polls are always the incumbent democrat at 45% against one of the Republicans. When we settle on who our Republican is, it will be 45% to 55%. You're going down, my brother, going down.|||all polls are biased



because you're only asking a certain number of people|||Depends on the polling company and the sample taken. For example: I could take a poll and ask "Is Obama the worst president ever?"



If they say no but the amount of democrats included in the poll is 8 of 10 then its bias.|||Not interesting considering there's not much of a difference between the two.|||polls are pointless this far away dont worry about it|||Historically, polls taken a year and a half before the election, and a year before the primaries, are always spot-on.



I guess we are really screwed... huh?|||polls are almost useless, I can get the result I want by picking the "right" sample and how the question is worded. the only poll that matters is voting day|||Maybe, because it's tied. Romney probably is leading. If Obama wins again the country is doomed to a socialistic society.|||Yes because all the other polls show that any Republican beats O'Bama by 8 points!|||No - but picking one outlying poll and presenting it as the norm is clearly a sign of desperation.
