Obama is not going to lose this election. You have to be in denial to believe Romney is even with Obama in the swing states.

Katrina he had no control over its occurrence, yes. But in its aftermath, he handled the situation poorly.
Sept 11, on the other hand, he could have prevented, or at least tried to. The US had sufficient intelligence that OBL was planning an attack on US soil, but they never acted. Richard Clarke, former National Coordinator for Security and Counterterrorism, said as much in his testimony to Congress and his book Against All Enemies.
But we're getting side-tracked here.

The majority of news outlets are over sampling Democrats? According to who?
And it doesn't matter whether Mitt challenges Obama on diplomats anymore. Any time he needed to attempt to sway people is now gone given the attention the media is giving to the aftermath of Hurricane Sandy.

Who cares about the polling...
The easiest way to find out is the poll they take called the election

According the polling firms' methodologies.
Pollsters weight samples based on expected turnout.
So, for example, the latest PPP national poll was D+6, expecting that 6% more Democrats will vote than Republicans.

Interesting. So, let me see if I understand this... what this means is that people more likely to vote Democrat are the ones answering these polls? And Republican voters are not being approached?

Cuz, we're THREE days away from the election. Pressing the President on Da Dips won't do a damn thing at this point in time. You're delusional, fam.
If you really think there are a lot of undecided voters left with THREE days to go to the election, you're crazy.

Basically.
It varies from poll to poll, but in general, at the start or end of each questionnaire there is a series of screening questions. Common examples include age, region (if conducted by telephone), race, political knowledge, likelihood to vote and party identification. Depending on the poll, some screens can be more vigorous than others. This is done in large-N samples because if you already know the characteristics of an interviewee, the poll isn't random. (It's also helpful when you're crosstabbing or regressing data to determine how certain features affect political behavior.)
Instead, to produce more "realistic" results, when the firm has polled a sufficient sample (random by scientific standards), they weight responses so that some are worth more than others. Weights are commonly applied to regions in national polls to account for variance in the population. In the case of the PPP poll I mentioned, they are assuming, based on turnout figures from the last Presidential election and the 2010 midterms, that 6% more Democrats will show up to the polls. Effectively, though, this number is haphazard because nobody knows how the final partisan splits will ultimately turn out, or how the independents will trend.

I wouldn't be too certain of a landslide Obama victory. Economist has been the most irreverent newspaper for the longest time.. Forgot alot of Americans read a english based newspaper.

CNN is a joke these days. They're no better than the other networks.
Obama could be up 4-5 points and they'll still say it's a dead heat.
