Poll: Americans, 2-1, Fear Obama's Reelection

If 33% fear Obama getting reelected the most. Then 67% don't.

So 2-1 people don't fear Obama getting reelected.

Twisting around silly polls to confirm biases is fun!
 
Read the article again.



16 percent fear the democrat wont win a 2nd term
33 percent fear four more years

33/16 ~= 2/1

In other words the poll is comparing apples to oranges.

In order to compare apples to apples you need to cite the ratio of people who fear his reelection to people who do not fear his reelection. That comparison doesn't do that.

The poll asked "what do you fear most in 2012"

33% said an obama 2nd term
16% said obama not getting a second term

maybe elaborate a little more how those 2 aren't both apples?

So you brought your fuzzy math over here? The headline apparently only concerns itself with the 50% that had fears concerning the reelection of Obama, thereby doubling the actual percentage of Americans that fear Obama getting reelected.

If 2/3s of Americans fear Obama being re-elected, then a fairly large minority must be frickin' terrified of electing a Republican given that Obama consistently beats all Republican candidates in the polls.
 
Holy fuck the OP proves his intelligence again. I thought you reached rock bottom with your excellent analysis about "socialist" russia and greece. The reason the GOP can't put up a decent candidate is because people like the OP have a voice in the party.
 
Obamaturd scares the c%$^ out of true Americans who believe in the constitution.

True Americans™ shit red, white, and blue and have the used toilet paper to prove it.

link?

I shit these:

Evidently "math" isn't a strong suit for our board libtard obama ass kissers.

Ha! We're not the ones who think that 33% is two-thirds of 100% when actually it's one-third.

I really don't think you should be talking about math competence, frankly.

But you are the ones who do not understand that the OP was talking about a 2-1 margin...for every 1 person that was NOT afraid of an Obama re-election, there were 2 that were afraid.

Total percentage is immaterial.

Not when an article is clearly trying to suggest that a majority of Americans fear Obama getting reelected when they clearly do not. BTW this is what is called a "push poll", if you are unfamiliar with the term look it up.

Well, for starters, 33 + 16 doesn't equal the 100% polled, so the 2-1 number is bunk.

the total number of respondents is immaterial, dip-shit.

If 100 people were polled, and 33 said they feared an Obama second term, then 16 people said they did not fear an obama second term, the ratio of those who expressed fear to those who did not is 2-1.

False. For every person asked if they were afraid of an Obama re-election - 33% said yes.
For every person asked if they were afraid he WONT be re-elected - 16% said yes.

That ^

Does not equal ( / = )

No, the 16% is not those who did not express fear of Obama's reelection. That would be 67% who DONT fear Obama's re-election.

The 16% is those who fear he's NOT re-elected, not those who "don't fear that he's elected," that would be 67%.
 
Poll: Americans, 2-1, Fear Obama's Reelection


January 9, 2012

When it comes to how Americans view President Obama going into the new year, there appears to be very little spirit of Auld Lang Syne. Instead, according to the new Washington Whispers poll, many voters aren't forgetting what they dislike about Obama and want him out office.

In our New Year's poll, when asked what news event they fear most about 2012, Americans by a margin of two-to-one said Obama's reelection. Only 16 percent said they fear the Democrat won't win a second term, while 33 percent said they fear four more years.

Rush Limbaugh is correct. Even though you will NOT hear this from the obama mania, reelection team commonly referred to as the main stream media, who will lie to the bitter end trying to make you believe otherwise, but as of now, obama is going to lose the presidential election in a land slide of epic proportions. He's fucked the country up good, moved it way to far towards a third world, failed, socialism policy, and his administration is filed with tax cheats, communists, socialists, racists and liars, and people 2 to 1 do NOT want this FILTH back in the White House. They want him GONE, and they won't be bamboozled again by his bull shit.

Just to add some perspective to Rush's source, here is a different poll produced by the obvious geniuses behind Synovate eNation and Washington Whispers:

Americans are especially supportive of voting for a female presidential candidate, according to our latest Washington Whispers poll.

In a quirky way to get people to indicate what type of president they want, Whispers hit the road with some shoe leather—literally. Without naming names, we asked if people preferred a president in women's pumps, loafers, wing tips, sneakers, or Cowboy boots.

Pumps won. Cowboy boots lost. Advantage Rep. Michele Bachmann. Sorry Texas Gov. Rick Perry.

According to the poll, conducted by Synovate eNation, 25 percent of Americans believe someone who wears pumps would make the best president, followed closely at 24 percent by loafers, 21 percent for wing tips, 17 percent for sneakers and 13 percent for cowboy boots.

You people aren't getting it.

If the poll was balanced, then you can assume that it contained roughly an even split of those for and against Obama being re-elected.

A. The people AGAINST Obama would fear his being re-elected.

B. The people FOR Obama would fear his NOT being re-elected.

Therefore if there are twice as many of A than of B, it means that more people believe he will be elected than won't.

The poll is indication of Obama having good odds of being re-elected.
 
for the critical thinking impaired:

100% were polled

33% fear his reelection
16% fear he's NOT re-elected
51% dont fear either
= 67% DONT fear his reelection.
= 84% DONT fear that he WONT be re-elected.
 
I want Obama to re-elected, but I currently have very little fear that he won't, so,

my support for him is not going to be reflected in that poll.

ANYONE getting it???

Well, for starters, 33 + 16 doesn't equal the 100% polled, so the 2-1 number is bunk.

the total number of respondents is immaterial, dip-shit.

If 100 people were polled, and 33 said they feared an Obama second term, then 16 people said they did not fear an obama second term, the ratio of those who expressed fear to those who did not is 2-1.

If 1000 people were polled on the internet (LOL) as in this case, and 330 said they feared Obama getting reelected and 160 said not and 500 said something else entirely then I suppose you could say something like, " Out of the 50% of Americans who vote their fears, two thirds fear Obama according to a deeply flawed internet poll".

Any real editor with a shred of integrity would have thrown this guy out on his ass and told him to rewrite it.

Also, an accurate title would be the exact opposite, by a 2-1 margin Americans DONT fear Obama being re-elected.

I get that trying to find something meaningful within a poll like that is silly.

Why would I want that? I'm lovin' it. You fucktard liberals are showing just how little you know. I mean us conservatives always knew that democrats were stupid, and anyone who would vote for Barry must be retarded, but you're proving just how fucking dumb you are in spades in this thread.
