发帖数: 2980 | 1 Radio talk show host Rush Limbaugh charged on Monday that the nation’s
pollsters have failed to accurately predict the outcome of the 2012
presidential election.
“Common sense tells me this election isn't gonna be close — and it shouldn
't be,” Limbaugh said on his afternoon radio program. “And yet, every poll
, every single poll, has this race tied.
“I have said that as we get down to the election, the polls are gonna
reflect what's really gonna happen because the pollsters want to get it
right for the future,” he said later in the program. “That has not
happened. It has not happened. There's not one poll that gives either
candidate an edge, not one pollster is willing to stick his neck out here.”
He noted how most polls are showing President Barack Obama virtually tied
with GOP challenger Mitt Romney — generally below 50 percent — when other
factors are favoring the former Massachusetts governor.
Limbaugh cited, for instance, “the Redskins Rule,” in which the party that
’s out of power wins when the Washington Redskins lose their last home game
before Election Day.
The Redskins lost to the Carolina Panthers, 21-13, at home, FedEx Field.
The rule has proved itself in 17 of the last 18 presidential elections since
the Redskins moved to Washington in 1937. The only exception was in 2004
when George W. Bush defeated John Kerry despite The 'Skins losing to the
Green Bay Packers.
“The Redskins lost to the Carolina Panthers,” Limbaugh said. “That means
Romney wins. I guarantee you, if the Redskins had won the game, that's all
you would be seeing on the media today. I guarantee you. You can't find it
anywhere.”
He added: “The enthusiasm that got people out in 2010, I'm seeing at every
Mitt Romney rally. Romney's drawing crowds of 20,000, 25,000, 30,000, 15,000.
“The enthusiasm that we all saw in 2010 is there. The same issues that
existed in 2010 exist today. There hasn't been anything that's gotten better
.”
