Question:

If RCP averages come out dead on, does that mean that they *weren't* oversampling democrats?

no

 

[glockmail]

Are you kidding me? Obama goes from +7 to -1 in one day? BS. I've called Zogby BS the whole time and this is no different. BS!

Get your meds ready.

 

[DavidS]

yeah, all those polls that are over sampling democrats

we'll see on tuesday

You know what pisses me off about you, Dive? Every other Con on here admits that the polls are somewhat accurate. You do not. You believe that because the polls over-sample democrats, they're wrong.

For the last time:

THE POLLS OVER SAMPLE DEMOCRATS BECAUSE THERE ARE MORE REGISTERED DEMOCRATS THAN THERE ARE REPUBLICANS

 

[DavidS]

Get your meds ready.

I was right. Zogby corrected himself last night. Obama had a +10 day. Get your meds ready, Glocker.

If you write larger and capitalize the letters, people will take you more seriously.

Released: November 02, 2008 Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby Poll: One Day Is Not A Trend: Obama Holds His Lead
Obama 49.5%, McCain 43.8%
UTICA, New York -- After a strong day of polling for Republican presidential candidate John McCain on Friday, Democrat Barack Obama experienced a strong single day of polling on Saturday, retaining a 5.7 point advantage that is right at the edge of the margin of error of the Reuters/C-SPAN/Zogby daily tracking poll. The race has remained remarkably stable down the stretch, this three-day rolling average poll shows.

Pollster John Zogby: "Obama has consolidated his lead over McCain. His single day lead today was back to 52%-42%. He leads by 10 among independents and has solidified his base. He leads among Hispanics by38 points, African Americans by 88, 18-24 year olds by 36, 18-29 year olds by 25, 25-34 year olds by 16, women by 8, and men by 3. He has a 17 point lead among those who have already voted, 22 by those who have registered to vote in the past 6 months, Moderates by 34, Catholics by 10. He even receives 21% support among Conservatives.
"So what happened to give McCain a one-point lead in the one-day polling on Friday? It was a day of consolidation for him, too. He had been losing support among key groups and began to regain some of his own base. He now leads by 21 points among NASCAR fans, 9 among investors, 6 among voters in armed forces households, and 2 among voters over 65 years old.
"Remember, as I said yesterday, one day does not make a trend. This is a three-day rolling average and no changes have been tectonic. A special note to blogger friends: calm it down. Lay off the cable television noise and look at your baseball cards in your spare time. It is better for your (and everyone else's) health."

I can't make them any larger.

ZOGBY, November 2: "Obama has consolidated his lead over McCain. His single day lead today was back to 52%-42%. He leads by 10 among independents and has solidified his base. He leads among Hispanics by38 points, African Americans by 88, 18-24 year olds by 36, 18-29 year olds by 25, 25-34 year olds by 16, women by 8, and men by 3. He has a 17 point lead among those who have already voted, 22 by those who have registered to vote in the past 6 months, Moderates by 34, Catholics by 10. He even receives 21% support among Conservatives."

As for the rabid wingers who were counting on Zogby's Friday number to portend a McCain comeback...Zogby has a word for them too:

"...A special note to blogger friends: calm it down. Lay off the cable television noise and look at your baseball cards in your spare time. It is better for your (and everyone else's) health."

That's what she said.

I don't have any, and don't need them. I've survived Carter, and will survive Carter II if the nation's dumb enough.

Unfortunate. because Divecon has would be more likely to be convinced if you could write in even larger font.

This country can't however survive Dubya II and perhaps even Dubya III if McCain gets elected and kicks the bucket.

So you're going Zen?

 

[DavidS]

Really?

Pew Research Center: A Closer Look at the Parties in 2008

51% of all registered voters are Democratic
38% of all registered voters are Republican

That's a 13 point lead. Thus the polls should give the Democrats 13 points.

She wouldn't be a Dubyah III, she would be a Ford II.

This is the rhetoric the propaganda operatives put forth when their NWO communist leaders are planning to try and steal an election.
