Weekly Absurd Polls

Yet Another Democrat-Skewed Poll

Noel Sheppard in The American Thinker

It seems the closer we get to Election Day, the more polls we’re going to be subjected to that over-sample Democrats. The latest entrant comes from Newsweek (hat tip to Stop The ACLU). In this one, 24 percent more Democrats were surveyed than Republicans.

[...]

In this instance, as reported by Reuters: 282 Republicans were questioned versus 349 Democrats and 330 Independents. As such, assuming it was important for the sample to accurately reflect the electorate, telemarketers could have smiled and dialed for another hour or two to make sure that was the case. In fact, a media outlet concerned with the integrity of the data it is disseminating would demand and pay for nothing less.

Of course, as these are the same media that subscribe to the junk science involved in advancing global warmingism, we shouldn’t be at all surprised by their love for junk math when it comes to polls that assist them in advancing their agenda.

Read the whole thing.

As we get closer to election day, the Dems and their enablers in the MSM get more and more desperate, and continue to ratchet up the lying.  One of their favorite techniques is to manufacture a poll, and then report the results as real news.  They then formulate policy on the basis of the deceptive poll.  The only poll that counts is the one that takes place in the polls on election day.
