Because wingnuts are convinced that there’s no way Democrats will show up like they did in 2008!!! They base this on…..the fact that wingnuts don’t like Obama, and therefore, Democrats just aren’t going to show up!

Science!

Romney could still win this election; even optimistic liberal Nate Silver gives the Romney a whopping 15% of taking the electoral college.

Having said that, there is deep denial on the right. Many simply can’t believe that we could re-elect someone they hate so much. The cognitive dissonance must be overwhelming. Polls have shown him somewhat ahead of Romney for virtually all of 2012, they’ve shown him with a rough 50% approval rating for most of his term, and an even slightly higher favorability rating.

It’s irrational, to say the least, that all these numbers are severely skewed due to “sampling bias” on the part of all pollsters.
