he admits he basis this on no facts, but rather, he just wanted to "raise the question." What an idiot. He says it's skewed, but just last night he predicted it would be 7.9. That's called raising baseless suspicions.

No, not baseless. Jeez. 25 economists (sm) - Texan

predicted there would be 113,000 jobs added. They were amazingly close - 114,000. It doesn't jive with 8.1 down to 7.8. 25 top economists wrong? Also, wouldn't you think a man who ran the largest company in the world with 400,000 employees would know when something is "off"? No, I guess you think he wouldn't. Believe what you like. Obama and his ilk are screwing with it.

So, if they had the power to "screw" with it...sm - JTBB

why wouldn't they do so when it was over 8%? What I believe are the facts, not baseless accusations. But, when you run a campaign of nonfacts and constant denial, what else could you expect?
It has nothing to do with campaigning... - SK1

One reason the number is so low is because they adjusted the numbers from July and August. The other reason is that they're counting part-time jobs.

Several threads here from today discuss the subject and the number breakdowns and explanations are available on them.

CNN Poll Shamefully Skewed. De-skew The Poll And It'sSep 11, 2012
The campaign to mislead the public, discourage conservative voters, etc. is underway, full bore. Do NOT believe ANY polls.  Think for yourself - and VOTE, regardless of any polls that might suggest that Obama has this sewn up.  The DNC had a disastrous convention and they're also trying to make that look like the best thing since conventions began. (You can tell from the desperation of his campaign strategy that HE knows he doesn't have it sewn up.) ...

KEY POINTS: * Initial claims for state unemployment benefits rose 43,000 to a seasonally adjusted 474,000, the highest since mid-August * Economists polled by Reuters had forecast claims dropping to 410,000. * The prior wee ...

The Numbers Prove It: The GOP Is Estranged From America.Aug 28, 2013
[Interestingly, Pew Research points to Fox News as a big problem with the GOP. Note that Fox News was created to make money by selling a specific niche viewer group to advertisers -- those people who felt the mainstream media weren't conservative enough. Fox doesn't exist TO promote far-right views, that's just a byproduct of its process. (Of course, the various far-right websites and blogs are a whole different thing.) ] From the Washington Post: The numbers prove it: T ...

Oh Dear, These Labor Numbers Are Simply Awful.Sep 07, 2012
- is that Obama had these numbers when he stood up and made his speech last night.  The POTUS is always advised of the numbers on the day before any significant labor (or other economic) numbers are released. So I think it's pretty fair, at this point, to call Obama an unmitigated, narcissistic liar to stand before the American people and beg for four more years when he had been given even more evidence than he already had that there is no justification on earth to give his failed pol ...

Map Of Refugees Arrives In The Last Year. Massive Numbers OfAug 16, 2016
imported into the United States. If I recall correctly, the Obama administration’s stated goal is to bring in 100,000 this year. Refugee resettlement is a big business now in the USA, driven by lavish funding from the federal government with additional assistance from Soros-type NGOs. In particular, mainstream Protestant denominations are cashing in on the windfall by offering their services as charitable experts to help resettle the new arrivals. See Refugee Resettlement Watch for the bes ...

Obamacare Could Face Large Numbers Of DropoutsNov 04, 2014
More than half the people who enrolled in Obamacare last year don’t plan to sign up again—and that’s bad news for the president’s healthcare law.  A new Bankrate survey reveals that 53 percent of current Obamacare enrollees who signed up through the exchanges said they would not be enrolling for 2015. Their reason--“much higher prices for health plans.” Uh, oh.  Did I hear that Obamacare was supposed to lower health insurance premiums? ...

4 Poll Numbers That Should Unnerve Hillary ClintonJul 27, 2015
Enlightening article. Here's an excerpt: "But, if Clinton's sinking poll numbers were to be expected as she re-entered the arena, the pace of their drop and the depths to which they have fallen are surprising. Looking at the national numbers, Clinton's favorable numbers have come close to collapsing over the past eight months or so; her unfavorable numbers in Iowa and New Hampshire are, without exaggeration, near Trump-ian levels -- and that's a very bad thing considering th ...
