Polling Bias

ALERT! GALLUP POLL BIAS!

Do you remember the Gallup Poll that had President Bush with a 45% job approval rating?

Well, the new poll has President Bush moving up to a 46% job approval rating.

However, the sample in the former poll was 33% Republican, 32% Independent, 34% Democratic.

The new poll, that only has marginal improvement in his approval rating, is only 29% Republican, 31% Independent, and 38% Democrat.

If this were 1980, that poll might, might be accurate. This is 2004, and the GOP is at parity with the Democratic Party.

In other words, add 4% to the Preisdent’s job approval rating in the new poll, and you have his real rating.
