Polling Koolaid

I hate polls, they’re nearly always run to make headlines.

Especially when they are so weighted to give a REALLY false impression. Via Newsbusters:

“Yet, nowhere did the authors let their readers know that 41 percent more Democrats were questioned for this survey than Republicans. That’s right. The breakdown was: 38 percent Democrats; 27 percent Republicans, and; 31 percent Independents. This was the largest skewing of Democrats to Republicans in a WaPo-ABC News poll since at least April. By contrast, in last month’s poll, the breakdown was 33 percent Democrats, 32 percent Republicans, and 30 percent Independents.

With this in mind, should it be at all surprising that President Bush’s job approval dropped by 3 percentage points since the September poll? Or that approval for the job Bush is doing in Iraq dropped by six points, and for the war on terror by eight?”

The only poll I even remotely pay attention to is the one which was the most accurate polling (and has been since), Rassmussen Reports, which currently has Bush at 41% approval and the Senate balance of power at 48/48 with two toss ups.

Turnout beats polling everytime people. All the democrats and the MSM hope to do is to surpress Republican turnout. Don’t let them win. We show - we win!

So….. GET OFF YOUR ASS AND VOTE!
