Caveat on recent polling, neither WaPo/ABC nor Newsweek was of likely voters. |
|
WaPo ABC news poll is simply adults, not registered voters or likely voters.
Newsweek poll which is registered voters and not likely voters.
My fellow poll junkies will understand.

5. It was something I realized while arguing about GE matchups. |
|
I went to cite Hillary's numbers vs Romney in the WaPo/ABC poll (she is up 15) but the margin struck me as a little funny vs other margins listed from other polls. Then I saw that it was only for adults which makes it only slightly more valuable than Zogby's interactive poll.
And as I was reading I saw that the Newsweek poll, even that last national Q poll were all for registered voters not likely voters.

6. Polls are too easily manipulated.... |
|
The disparities among the various polls clearly displays how they pick and choose to get the result they're looking for.
Ignore the polls and make up your own damn minds folks. It's not rocket science: Voting record, past history and intuition should be guiding our choices. Current talking points are nearly worthless since anyone running for office HAS to pander to a majority.
Do we have any place - accessible to all DUers - to put impartial biographies of each of the candidates?
