CNN DEBATE: Real time audience response, Clinton 60%, Obama 40% |
|
Edited on Thu Jan-31-08 11:11 PM by elixir
HRC rocked. She established the tone of the debate and raised a would-be mud sling into a thoughtful discussion of substantive issues. I was thrilled how she and BO presented a unified front against the GOP, way to go.

2. That wasn't the audience exit poll. That was the real time response focus group. |
|
Very small sample. Very big MOE.
I hate RTRs. Just another toy that the news shows like to use, but terribly inaccurate.

An audience exit poll is meaningless unless you have an audience entrance poll to compare it with.
In other words, if 60% going in were for Clinton, then, what's the big deal?

7. It wasn't an exit poll, it was their (what appeared to be 10-person) focus group. |

9. I didn't see their "group" but if it was 10 people, that is a MOE of +/- 31% |
|
I won't even think of translating it into the CA primary. But using the turnout for the 2004 TX Dem primary as the population, and 10 as the sample size, 31% it is.

6. I saw bits and pieces. I think HRC may have received a slight edge |
|
based on the comments Obama made on the first question (explain policy differences). Clinton was super gracious in her answer; Obama was too, but he dug in and really articulated the differences (as a result, some women may have been thought he was too harsh).

8. I felt watching it, Hillary had the audience. 60/40 sounds about right. |
|
While Obama did get almost as much applause as Hillary, Hillary's was generally a little stronger than his was much of the time. And of course she had the best line with her Clinton had to clean up after Bush zinger. They loved it.
