Strategic Vision (R) Should be DUMPED from Electoral-Vote.com

[AIJ Alom]

Republicans unsatisfied with independent pollsters created Strategic Vision, a Republican polling company who's results are always in favor of George W Bush. I recently emailed the guy who maintains the www.electoral-vote.com and told him he was being played.

Can you put 1 and 1 together ? You ARE BEING MANIPULATED.

A large number of people visit your site to see who is
leading in the polls, that's clearly indicated by your
number of hits.

My beef with you is the fact that you and your rules
are being exploited and you may not be noticing it.
When a polling company has the name Strategic Vision,
what do you think their objective is ? Strategic
Vision has been running polls in battleground states
that are way off everyone else's results, every time
in favor of George W Bush ! In fact, I'd check these
numbers, but I think they've been running more polls
than anyone else.

Dump Strategic Vision from your results, you are
helping them obtain their "Strategic Vision" ! They
are using and manipulating the service you provide.

1. I dumped www.electoral-vote.com

They are just as believable as Fox News Polls.

9. That guy is fair. He has a policy about polling companies.

Go to his main page and read the whole thing.

Notice where he says:

Personally, I have my doubts about Strategic Vision, but I am sticking to my rule of using the poll with the most recent middle date, and breaking ties in favor of the shortest poll, and averaging tied shortest polls.

I think he's fair...he's just having to deal with so many R polls that he's a little trapped. Wait until S.V. gets replaced...

2. Did Strategic Vision do polling in 2000?

If they did, it would be interesting to compare their polls to the actual result.

3. No they didn't.

They started this year I believe. I'm looking into their company.

4. I wonder if Buckhead is a member of Strategic Vision ? They work out of

Atlanta, Georgia.

5. Who is paying for Strategic Visions Polls ?

http://www.kcrg.com/article.aspx?art_id=90659&cat_id=123

Strategic Vision conducted a three-day poll of likely Iowa voters.

It showed the Bush-Cheney ticket with a two point lead.

Strategic Vision will be doing bi-weekly polling in Iowa until Election Day.

(WHO THE HECK IS PAYING FOR ALL THESE POLLS?).

6. I had an email from them saying they're independent...

that they do polling during elections just for the exposure.

Yeah, sure.

7. Strategic Vision (R)

Strategic Vision is a Republican consulting and polling organization in the same way that Democracy Corps is a Democratic consulting and polling organization. (Both may be nominally "non-partisan," but no one reallly believes that.)

So you have to take Strategic Vision polling with an even smaller grain of salt than that of independent polling organizations.

11. the RWingers tried to take down his site the other day.

Guess they don't like his results either.

Personally, I like the site. I don't take his results too seriously, though. But I don't take polls in general too seriously, either.
