CNN Poll Shows Obama Leading Romney 86% to 12%, with 2% Undecided

A number of conservative pundits, including Rush Limbaugh, are saying the latest poll results are merely psyops made to discourage conservative voters.  Take for example, the CNN Poll out today that shows Obama leading Romney 86% to 12%.  Whoops, I see that they have now revised that estimate downward, now saying that Obama leads by only six points, 52% to 46%.  The CNN poll, according to John Hinderaker at Power Line, oversampled Democrats and included NO [only 5%] independents, who are breaking for Romney by a lead of 14 points.

Rush says the pollsters won't begin releasing accurate polls until two weeks before the election, in order to retain some semblance of a reputation.  If then!  He asserts that right now the pollsters are trying to create a "self-fulfilling prophecy" with dishonest polls.

Meanwhile, we learn that the Democrats outraised Republican donations in August, $114,000,000 to only $25.16 for Republicans (or something like that).  R.S. McCain doubts the accuracy of this report, believing it is merely more psyops -- mind games to make the public think there is a massive ground swell for Obama, create a band wagon effect, make Obama's re-election seem inevitable, and depress Republican donations, morale and votes.  It's dirty pool, but so typically Democrat.

UPDATE:  Breitbart analyzes the CNN poll and concludes that CNN "had its thumb on the scale," producing a dubious but desired result.
