A Lesson in Democrat Polling… Oversample, Oversample, Oversample

By Texas Rainmaker on Polls

And then feed the results to outlets like AFP…

<<Nearly half of the US public wants President George W. Bush to face impeachment… >>


Nice lede, especially considering the number opposed to impeachment is higher.


<<< The survey by the American Research Group found that 45 percent support the US House of Representatives beginning impeachment proceedings against Bush, with 46 percent opposed, and a 54-40 split in favor when it comes to Cheney. >>>

Conveniently, the article fails to mention the sample breakdown of the poll. For your enjoyment, here it is:

Democrats (38%)
Republicans (29%)
Independents (33%)

Now it makes sense.
